When the days are longer and the sun is stronger, embrace the heat both outside and inside your home. Take advantage of the beautiful weather and host your family and friends as much as possible this summer.

Let your home reflect your attitude by rethinking your home decor and getting inspired with summer-themed furnishings:

• Choose lightweight fabrics. It’s not necessary to change every room but there are ways to lighten up for summertime. Save the leather pieces for colder months. Lightweight furnishings are a good option for the season and are make for more comfortable seating during high humidity months. Low seated chairs and light floor cushions will inspire the mood for a party.
• Set outdoor dining tables. Now is the time to spend as much of your time as possible outdoors. Spend time out on your patio or deck, and if you don’t have either of those, set dining tables around your yard complete with tablecloths and candles to keep bugs away. Accessorize with lanterns where lighting is needed.
• Put thought into how you arrange the space. An inviting space always makes guests feel more comfortable and at home. By adding an ottoman to the end of a seat, you give guests the opportunity to relax and lounge in your home.
• Incorporate accent pieces with prints. Colorful prints don’t have to be reserved for your comforter or bedspread. Incorporate accent pieces on items such as pillows or a lampshade to add some excitement to your rooms and easily brighten up your outdoor furniture.
