Staying comfortable this summer
The heat, the sun, and the fun are all just a singular part of how good the season is. There is so much to be grateful for when it comes to summertime. It is the time when there are children playing blissfully in fields, adults relaxing in the sun, and everyone just having a generally good time. Summer interior is also one of my favourite seasonal interiors of all. This is because you can go from the exact polar opposite of a warm, cosy home in winter to a cool and comfortable area in the summer where you can sit and enjoy your own space without feeling too stuffy or hot.
Comfortable Home in Summer
A definite must-have throughout summer is a comfortable home. This is because it is important that you can chill out in your environment, whilst feeling comfortable and being able to enjoy your own space. Without this comfort throughout the season, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and overheated within your own home. This could be down to things such as too many throws, fluffy rugs on the floor or even something as simple as a very filled environment. By this, I mean when a room is highly decorated and accessorised. In summer, it is good to have a space which is kept minimal and tidy. The reason for this is that a minimalist-styled room often gives off a cooler vibe. This is why you often see lots of modernised homes in very sunny areas with a very minimalist interior design style.
