Simple ways to bring summer into your home Infuse colour but keep big items neutral Lena Sin Postmedia News Summer is the time for patio parties and lazy days at home. Karen Sealy, interior designer and regular Cityline contributor, says freshening the home is a great way to greet the new season. “I always change up my home by season and I love it,” she says. Interior designers Jennifer Scott and Megan Baker, founders of A Good Chick to Know, say the impulse to bring the sunshine into our homes is natural.

You don’t have to do it in big huge hits, but you need to do it in little spurts so people know it was an intentional decision.”
2. Bright whites Summer may be all about colour, but nothing says light and fresh than airy whites. So consider the other end of the colour spectrum with a palette of white and neutrals, say Scott and Baker.
