Easy, Breezy Summer Decorating Tips for Your Home

The summer season tends to be very busy, but it is also a great time to update the look of your home.

Below are 7 great tips for completing those summer decorating projects with a minimum of time and money.

1. Painting is a quick and easy way to brighten up any room. You can paint just one focal wall to save even more time and money. Most average sized rooms will have a wall that can be painted in about an hour.
    
2. Use “no sew” techniques to create new tablecloths and pillow covers. You can cover a pillow by wrapping it on the diagonal with a piece of unfinished fabric and then use ribbon to secure it. Older tablecloths and flat sheets can be made into the perfect sized tablecloth with just a little duct tape on the hems. Use the same technique to create floor length covers for your end and coffee tables, and then use the room underneath to store toys, books, and shoes.
    
3. Remove all those dusty collectables from around the room and take a good look at them. Choose a very select number of favorite items to display and store or dispose of the rest. You will have a must easier time cleaning and the look of your home will be must less cluttered.
    
4. Toss some sunflower seeds into a sunny part of your yard. This will enable you to have fresh flowers in your home without the expense of running to the florist all the time. A little packet of sunflower seeds can give you flowers that look great in your yard and home, are very simple to grow, and can last for up to 10 days in a vase.
    
5. Summer often calls for a cooling down of the home. One way to do this is put away your area rugs and take down heavy layered window treatments. To protect your privacy leave just your sheers or mini blinds up in the window.
    
6. You can also get a fresh summer look by cleaning glass wherever it appears in your home. Some commonly overlooked glass in the home includes television screens, picture frames, and kitchen appliances. Just a few minutes and a little bit of glass cleaner can really brighten up the look of your home.
    
7. Take a fresh look at the rooms you have been living in during the winter months and brighten up the décor. You can add table lamps or change your furniture arrangements, and mix and match accent pieces from other rooms. Take your fine china out of the cabinet and put it on display. Put any small kitchen appliances that are rarely used in the cabinet for a cleaner more streamlined look.

The ideas on this list are easy, inexpensive, and can really make your home sparkle this summer. Try just a couple of them and see if they improve the look and feel of your home.
