Frugal tips for decorating your summer home

• Try decorating with beach inspired decor. Going to the beach is the number one vacation spot during the summer. It’s time to relax and looks beautiful so why not bring those elements into your home? Add seashells, sand, and variations of ocean blues to your home and create a little bit of paradise in your home. What a great way to relax at the end of the day.

• Change out your window treatments. Take down your thick window treatments that you use during the cold, winter months and put up white flowing curtains. Use light weight fabric like cotton or linen. Summer homes are light, bright, and airy.

*Using white fabric, table cloth, or bed linens as window curtains are inexpensive alternatives for changing out your window treatments.

• Decorate with fresh flowers. Don’t forget the outdoors too. Planting outdoor flower beds or planting flowers in containers are an inexpensive way for decorating with bright, summery colors. Fresh flowers are sure to liven up your home and garden.

• Bring in the fruit. Add fresh citrus fruits to large glass bowls or vases. Not only will it bring in color and texture, but it will make your home smell good too.

• Let the sunshine in. Open your curtains and let the natural light in. Natural lighting is known to make us feel happy and is good for our health.

• Add pops of yellow to your existing home decor. If you don’t have many windows that allow natural lighting in, decorate with yellow. Yellow is the color of sunshine, hope, and happiness.
