A big part of summer decorating is color.
You cannot have a summer theme going with dark dreary fabrics and other similar accessories.
You need to celebrate summer color in your home with bright happy pinks, blues, yellows, whites and other pastel colors.
Start by seeing if your home needs a fresh coat of paint.
Even if you already have bright color walls, the paint becomes dull and lifeless after awhile.
By freshening it up with a new coat of paint you can do wonders for your home.
Once you have the interior parts of your home such as the walls and flooring in the summer theme, you are ready to begin adding color in many different ways.
For instance, scented candles are a wonderful accessory.
They come in all shades of colors that can help to brighten up even the darkest corners of your home and they smell great adding to the atmosphere you are trying to create.
Add some floral pillows or slipcovers to your furniture to brighten the color tones to help you bring in the summer freshness.
Fresh fruits used as centerpieces for your table make a great addition to the summer theme as well.
They add natural color to your room and provide a tasty and nutritious treat for an in-between meal snack.
Another fantastic way to celebrate summer color in your home is with flowers.
They provide you with a way to bring part of the outdoor life inside your home.
However, this doesn't mean that you have to go out and spend a fortune on roses or other expensive flowers.
You can go outside and find a variety of different types of flowers growing around your home that will simply look beautiful.
These can make a stunning bouquet and they are completely free.
Use your imagination to come up with several different flower arrangements to complement your décor.
Plants are also a great way to celebrate summer color in your home.
They add oxygen to the air and help to give your home a pleasant welcoming feel to it.
Hanging plants are wonderful, but you can also add many potted plants and even a small palm tree or two if you have the room.
If you don't have the time to pick fresh flowers then consider investing in some artificial bouquets for your home.
You can also buy artificial plants if you have trouble keeping these alive.
Some of the imitations look so lifelike that at first glance you will think they are the real thing.
When you celebrate summer with soft bright colors it gives you a feeling of warmth inside.
It seems to naturally lift your spirits and make you feel happier.
Everyone will be amazed at the comfort and soothing feeling your décor generates during the summer months.
