Summer is right around the corner and with it comes the need to freshen up your Brooklyn townhouse and decorate in a summer scheme. Dark colors and decorations are great for the fall and winter months, but when summer hits, you want to let in the fresh air and the light. With that in mind, read on below for a few of the top tips for decorating your townhouse for the summer months.
Your Furniture
Muted tones that are dark are perfect for the winter, but summer demands airy tones. Use slipcovers that are removable to bring brightness and color into your home. Using throw covers over couches and chairs can add a touch of summer that can’t be beat.
Change Out Your Curtains
Take down the thick, dark draperies that you used to keep out the winter cold and replace them with curtains for the summer. In this way, you can keep out the summer’s heat but let the light and the cool breezes into your home at night. If you prefer to be able to see the views of summer, opt for valances at the window, instead of curtains.
Make it Kid Friendly
Face it, summer means the kids are out of school and spending a ton of time in your Brooklyn townhouse. Make sure that the throws and slip covers you use are machine washable and casually fun. Summer is also the perfect time to make summer crafts with the kids, so that you can bring a little of the outdoors into your home as well.
Summer décor is all about finding a balance. If you are still looking for the perfect townhouse to meet your needs, contact the professionals at The Oosten for help now.
