If you’re considering repainting or redecorating your home, this is as good of a time as ever to brighten the place up and encourage the outdoors to come in. It’s summer time which means happy and bright colors, being bold and encouraging visitors to want to come inside.

Each season brings a new color palette and summer reminds people of sunsets and sunshine. Consider mixing and matching to make people feel good in your home this summer and you can even have fun bringing your favorite thing about summer inside like the beach, the sunset or nature.

Nature Lovers

Choose earth tones for your home and you’ll feel more one with summer than ever. You can go with a unique color like Lucite Green to set the mood and choose accent colors to decorate like a calming blue, teal or other shades of green. You’ll love the tropical look of the forest in your living room that will calm your guests and make you feel like you’re one with nature.

Beach Lovers

Beach lovers will want to focus on blues and purples this season and bring a different kind of calming effect indoors. These gorgeous shades of blue and purple like aqua blue and lavender will not only look great together but they will soothe your guests. Paint the room one shade of blue and add different shades in the furniture, artwork and throw pillows. It’s also great for your kitchen as it suppresses your appetite.

Sunset Lovers

If your favorite part of summer is the sunsets, choose warm colors like oranges and yellows. Bring nature inside by swapping out your winter décor with bright yellow, tangerine orange and various shades to mix and match. It’ll look so pretty against a gray couch or wall.

Another great option is to look at your garden’s flowers and pick shades of blush pink, bright pink, beige and a soft white to make it feel happy and cheerful all year.
