Stylish summer interior
There are only a few days left until summer, which means it’s time to update your interior and create a light, cozy atmosphere in the house. Today we’ll show you how to do it in just 7 steps..
1. Conduct an audit
It’s time to put things in order!
If we are talking about updating the interior, then you cannot do without a good revision. It’s time to sort out seasonal things, hide knitted blankets and throw away (or take to the dacha) interior items that have already served you well.
Consider additional storage immediately. For example, use a space under the bed that is often undeservedly overlooked..

2. Change the wallpaper or repaint the walls
Dark green color in the interior looks noble
The summer interior differs from all others in its brightness. Take a look around your room (or the whole apartment), if you are bored with monotonous walls, then feel free to experiment. If the room is small, opt for deep hues that give your interior perspective..
It is not necessary to paint or wallpaper all walls. You can highlight one wall. For example, in the bedroom this will be the area where the bed is. In the living room, it is best to make an accent wall with a sofa..

3. Wash the windows
Dirty windows and a summer interior will never be the perfect match. Therefore, be sure to make sure your windows are shining. This is important not only from an aesthetic point of view. Windows are natural sources of light and should be abundant in summer.
Make sure your windows shine
Use warm water, sponge, soft cloth and detergent to wash. People use ammonia, vinegar, starch in order to quickly cleanse. They also give the glass an extra shine..

4. Change curtains
For those who are into interior design, it is no secret that there are seasonal types of curtains. But even if you are a simple layman who wants to transform your own space, then it will be useful for you to know that for the summer season it is better to choose curtains made of light fabrics.
Choose light curtains for the living room
In the bedroom, hang blackout curtains to keep out the early sun on the weekend. Complete them with delicate tulle. But in the living room, you can completely refuse from heavy thick curtains for the summer, replacing them with airy textiles with an interesting floral or plant print..

5. Decorate the interior with fresh flowers
The best friends of the summer interior are fresh and freshly cut flowers. Decorate the windows first, decorate the living and dining area with the second. Flowers will be appropriate even in the bathroom and bedroom. Here, the main thing is to choose flowers with a delicate, not cloying aroma..

To make the interior cheerful and bright, use vases and pots of unusual shapes, juicy colors, and interesting designs. They can act as accents, diluting or complementing the color prevailing in the space..

6. Renew furniture
If your budget allows, then for a complete upgrade you can get yourself a couple of new chairs or upgrade the headboard in the bedroom. But, if this is not possible, you should not despair. Think about how to make the items you already own more attractive. For example, make upholstered furniture upholstered or replace the upholstery on it. Even new covers for chairs, armchairs and a sofa will change your interior and refresh it.
One has only to update the upholstery, as the interior will sparkle with other colors.
If you are a creative person, then you probably want to decorate furniture with your own hands. For these purposes, the now popular decoupage technique is perfect. Actually, it will look in Provence or vintage styles..

7. Accessories and decor
The final touches that remain to be done are to complement the interior with decor. Hang several posters on the walls, throw pillows with summer motives on the sofa, put a bowl of fruit on the coffee table, and you will see that the interior picture looks complete and harmonious.

Of course, the decor depends a lot on the style prevailing in the space and on the room you are transforming. For example, in a minimalist interior, the decor should generally be restrained, unlike the same shabby chic.
