Smaller spaces have big potential

Bathrooms are a small space with the potential for a big change from season to season. Switching out rugs and towels in seasonal colors or installing a new shower curtain in an updated fresh pattern is a good place to start. If your bathroom cabinetry is on the smaller side, consider changing the paint color if it needs revamping. If you want to install traditional wallpaper, a first-floor powder room is usually a manageable size to tackle that project. However, peel-and-stick wallpaper is on trend and a perfect way to add color and style with less hassle and commitment.

Sounds, sights and smells of summer

When decorating from season to season, don’t forget to engage all of your senses. This will add to the overall feel of the house. Position planters filled with your favorite blooms outside so they are visible from many places inside your home. Add a fountain on your porch, and open your windows and doors from time to time to enjoy the sounds of water flowing and birds chirping. Add reed diffusers, candles and potpourri with your favorites scents of the summer such as lavender, gardenia, linen and lemon verbena. While you’re at it, incorporate a few new dinner and drink recipes to your entertaining menu and you’ll be ready to celebrate the summer with family and friends in your newly decorated home! ✦
