Use Bright Colors and Flowers<\/h2>\n

\u2022 Buy bright slip covers for your couches and chairs if they are dark patterns of colors.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Freshen up your garden and plant some colorful flowers like pansies.<\/p>\n

\u2022 White is a great color for summer. Moving a bright white table cloth or placemats onto your kitchen table will create a summer feel. From throw pillows to white curtains, white has summer written all over it.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Even if you don’t \u00a0have summer moving plans, buying fresh-cut flowers for your home are a sure way to brighten up any room!<\/p>\n\n

Use Fruits<\/h2>\n

Summer fruit, such as oranges, lemons, and berries<\/strong><\/em> always bring color and brightness:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Make a place on kitchen counter with display of fresh fruit such as pineapple, limes and lemons.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Take a simple pitcher of water and add some of your favorite fresh fruit for a bright, summery display. Let berries, lemons or limes soak in the water. It will look like summer and encourage you and visitors to drink more water!<\/p>\n

\u2022 Use citrus-based candles (Tangerine\/Lemon) to give your home a summery and fresh scent.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fill a clear vase with lemons and\/or limes for bright, fruity (and inexpensive) d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n

Use What You Have<\/h2>\n

Fix-up and take-away<\/strong><\/em> some things for that summer look:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Make sure all of your home’s windows and window screens are clean. Let in that fresh air!<\/p>\n

\u2022 Take down the drapes for a brighter more open look and you’ll find summer moving right in.<\/p>\n

\u2022 When the house is warm, the last thing you\u2019ll want to look at is clutter. Moving unnecessary items off your counters will give the kitchen a more open\/airy look.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Take a look at your outdoor furniture. Does it need to be freshened up a bit? Perhaps add new cushions and sand wood as needed.<\/p>\n

\u2022 This summer moving your family\u2019s summer sports gear to the front of the garage will get you all moving. Store skis and snowboards in the back.<\/p>\n
