Summer memories from the holidays
Decorating your home for summer doesn't have to cost money or be particularly difficult. The simplest advice we can give is to let your own memories do their part to create a summer feel at home. Take small souvenirs from your vacation and display them on your bookshelf or dining table. Beautiful shells from your sunbathing holiday in Malaga and colorful stones from your hike in the mountains cost nothing to bring home.
Combine these with a nice photo frame with a picture from your vacation and every time you see your little souvenirs out of the corner of your eye, your subconscious will remind you of that wonderful vacation and awaken the summer feeling in you. You can also print large canvas photos of your summer memories at your local photo shop and hang them on the wall at the foot of your bed so that the first thing you see every morning are beautiful pictures of sun and vacation.
Bright colors make things feel summery all year round
A light beige cotton blanket or colorful cushions on the sofa may not be something that is directly linked to summer memories, but if you bring home a blanket from the summer cottage or buy a pillowcase from the holiday, you can decorate your home with details that are directly linked to your summer.
Just like the souvenirs you bring home, bright, summery colors can awaken the feeling of summer in your subconscious and make you a little extra happy without you really thinking about it. On Slättö you can also find housing that gives you the same feeling!
Make your patio or balcony summery and warm
When fall starts to show up on the thermometer and in the gray clouds, many people forget that they have a patio or balcony. After all, it's too chilly to sit on the balcony in late September, right? No, it doesn't have to be that way. With the right decor, you can turn your balcony into a little piece of summer, even when the weather starts to turn gray.
With an infrared heater, you can have a warm balcony all year round and if you combine it with bright lights, you can enjoy artificial sunshine on the balcony even in the fall. Here, too, small details such as bright plaids and summer souvenirs can go a long way and you can combine your summer balcony decor with good drinks and good food that you personally associate with summer and sun.
Bringing in plants and nature
What is more summer than flowers and green plants? It is during the hot summer days that we spend the most time outdoors in nature, in flowering meadows and green forests. By bringing green plants into your home, you can bring in the summer and the wonderful feeling of being surrounded by lush green life. You can also find tenancy rights which is surrounded by lovely green areas.
Plants can be a big part of your interior design or just a small detail, it's up to you. You can fill your balcony with green plants and have your own little garden at home or put a vase with a few flowers on your living room table.
It doesn't really matter how much nature you bring home, as long as you bring in plants that you personally associate with summer. Many people go out into nature and pick beautiful flowers to bring home and use as summer decor, while others buy seeds and have a greenhouse at home so they can have green plants at home all year round.
One tip is to go to your local garden store and ask for help in choosing the plants that will stay green even during fall and winter when living indoors in your apartment. With lush green plants in your home, that lovely summer feeling will never end. Find out how you can rent with us here.
