This is my first attempt at writing a Blog and I am excited to share my thoughts and design ideas with you on a weekly basis! My first topic is suiting to this time of year……..Its all about “SUMMER-izing” your home.
Enhance the feeling of summer
I don’t know about you, but I find at this time of year my home is feeling like it needs a bit of a facelift. Your home will be sure to look refreshed after following these simple, cost effective and fun design ideas.
No matter what colour, pattern, material or style your sofa is – a change in cushion covers will completely alter the look and feel of your room. Try patterns, solids, bright colours, great textures and even different sizes for that great summer feel!. Mix and match to create a playful look! After you are finished with them for the season pack them away for next summer, when they will feel like new again!!
You will be amazed!
We are all so lucky to live on the West Coast by the soothing waters, blue skies and sandy beaches. Bringing these natural elements into your home will enhance the feeling of summer. Fill large glass or ceramic bowls with shells and sand and place them on your coffee table, sideboard or your kitchen counter. Incorporate coral and starfish into your existing decorating schemes. (on your bookcases, side tables, bathroom counters, entrance consoles etc… Group your favourite glass vases on your mantle and fill them with different size shells from the beach, sand that you have collected on your holidays and pebbles from your last trip to the lake! You will be amazed by your remarkable creation!
Impress your guests
It’s entertaining season!! What better way to spruce up your table setting and impress your guests than by adding new, vibrant, colourful linens. Try a runner down the middle of your table or add placemats and coordinating napkins. Don’t forget the napkin rings!!! It’s a great way to add some sparkle, colour and great texture to your table.
Start with these great little projects and your home will be feeling “SUMMER-ized” in no time! More great tips and ideas to come next time. HAPPY accessorizing and thanx for reading my very first blog!
I love dropping by the store to soak up some inspiration. You have a great design team. I come by often.
I love your new website, & of course I LOVE your store!!
Thanks everyone,
I love the summerize idea with the cushions. I do refresh the bedroom with lighter colours and bedspread, but now will be chaning the cushion covers down in the family room!
