Add A Touch Of Summer To Your Home

For me, Summer is not only an amazing time because it's sunny out but it's also a great time for my when it comes to my home. When it comes to Feng Shui, this is a great time to incorporate some of the summer elements into your home.

Let's start off with the bedroom. This is a favorite place for many for rest and relaxation, and what I like to do is to change the colors of my sheets and my comforter. In the Winter time, we tend to go darker with the colors especially those rustic colors. So this summer, I'm inviting you to do something very pretty. It's doesn't have to be over the top like with floral. For example instead of dark red, try going for something like a pretty green or blue. Choose something that represents nature. Then try incorporating little things like floral vases on each side of the bed. I have two side tables that I keep two fresh roses in every week. It's a great way to wake up to nature with a beautiful, summery, happy smell.

Next, we are going to talk about the living room. This is the room where we enjoy relaxing on the couch after a long day and turning on the TV. One of the things I like to do for inspiring and bringing summer into my living room involves my couch and that involves changing up the pillows. It's an inexpensive touch, and all you need to do is go to your local department store to pick up 2-3 pillows. For instance, instead of the darker pillows of Winter try something like white pillows. For me, I have yellow pillows and I love how they make the room pop. Speaking of popping, sometimes our living spaces lack that light because we are keeping the shades down. So open those shades, open the windows, and let the light in. Also one great tip is to clean the windows. You may not be able to clean the outside, but definitely get the inside of them. I did that this morning, and found that it brought more light into the space. More light means more life and it also means that you're happier.

Then the next room to bring up is the kitchen. Many people are probably wondering what can you do to incorporate summer into the kitchen, but I say to have a great bowl that holds all of the summer fruits. Not only will it be colorful and add vibrant energy shades to your kitchen but it's healthy and encouraging you to reach more for one of those fresh fruits. Then you can enjoy it more instead of reaching for cookies and cupcakes.

One other quick thing features the entryway. This is not only the entrance to your home, but also to your life. So beautify your entryway with something that reminds you of summer. Instead of the welcome mat that you have, try switching it up to something more colorful or more floral. That way as your stepping into your home, you are stepping into summer. One other thing that I love in the summer time is to collect sea shells, so if you collect them find a nice bowl or glass container so that you can have a touch of the beach with you even if you can't get there this summer.

Have a wonderful Feng Shui day and summer!
