I’m sure I’m speaking for many people when I say that when the sun’s shining, all I want to do is put on my favourite summer dress and sit in the garden with a lovely glass of Pimm’s.
We can’t stay out all day (unfortunately) but how about bringing some of the summer indoors with you? You can keep your living room interiors looking fresh as the temperature rises outdoors with three of our favourite summer living room trends.
The More Plants the Better
I can’t get enough of indoor plants, whether it’s my favourite Monstera plant or those cute cactus print cushions that are on my sofa.
Adding a bit of greenery to your interiors can completely freshen up your living room and make it feel vibrant and summery, as well as purifying the air. Do some research into the best houseplants and enjoy a little bit of the outside world in your home when you retreat indoors.
Don’t worry if you have a terrible track record for keeping houseplants alive because even just adding some floral prints to the walls can give your space a huge boost.
Let the Light In
There’s nothing worse than a dark and stuffy room on a summer day. You might be stuck inside working, doing the housework or just taking a break from the sun – either way, you should make sure your living room is filled with natural light and fresh air.
So, it’s time to get rid of those heavy curtains and invest in some light roller blinds instead to let in as much light as possible. You don’t have to sacrifice on privacy – get modern blackout roller blinds that mean you have the option of an airy and bright room, without passers-by peering straight into your living room!
Declutter and Store Away
Summer is definitely the time to pack away the heavy throws, the portable heaters and the dark home accessories. An airy, open space without any clutter will make you want to spend more time in your living room. It will feel a lot less claustrophobic and stuffy.
Swap out those dark, heavy knitted or fluffy pillows and make a summer edit. Happy prints, light fabrics and bright colours to keep your home looking cool and inviting.
Introduce fun summertime vibes to your living room with our three simple interior updates. As well as being completely on-trend and beautiful, these additions mean you’ll be able to enjoy a happier space that won’t leave you longing for the outdoors when the sun has gone in!
