Brighten your home with paint and color:
Painting the home is a good summer renovation besides increasing the curb appeal and turning the drab interior into a fresh one. Bright colors are the popular choices during the summertime. So, you can paint your home with colors like chartreuse-green, turquoise, lemon-green, or bright red. If your budget is limited, paint some selective areas instead of the whole interior. For example, paint the front door an unexpected shade like pumpkin-orange to create a happy punctuation point or smear the ceilings with some interesting shades like buttery yellow or gray blue.

Sunny colors and floral flavors are integral parts of summer season. Bring these things inside your home décor to brighten it up. Decorate pillows with floral templates like lily or poppy for breezy, warm weather décor. Use floral printed wallpapers, curtains, fabrics, cushion covers, and area rugs to turn the summer mode on. You can also paint flowers, leaves, fruits, birds, or anything related to summer on different fabric materials.

Creative DIY projects can bring summer to any room:
Try brightening up the interior with small decorating projects. Do makeover of your bookshelf by covering the backing of it with wallpaper; add nature artwork scenes on the walls; convert empty jars into illuminating conversation pieces by filling them with white string lights; display colored vases and glass jars on windowsills; or fill up a bare tabletop with postcards, printed fabrics, or snapshots.
Set up a dining area in your patio. You can extend the pleasure of long summer days and balmy nights by making a patio dining setup. Decorate the dining table with twinkling candles and paper lantern vases made of Chinese paper lanterns and tiny drinking glasses. You can also use shaded string lights to add a festive mood to the place.
These easy-to-follow ideas will definitely refresh your home with summer inspiration.
