4. Front and Center
With warm weather and a few extra
hours of sunlight, the summer months are
perfect for dining on your front porch or
having a picnic in your yard. Eating outdoors will help you and your family takes
advantage of everything summer has to
offer.
5. A New View
While a fireplace is a great focal point,
consider rearranging your furniture away
from it during the summer. Rather than
huddling around the hearth, shift the focus of the room toward a beautiful window or French doors. Stow away heavy
draperies and hang gossamer sheers
that flow with the breezes.
6. Light Up the Night
Summer is as much a state of mind as
it is a season, so transform your spaces to embrace all the benefits it has
to offer. String paper lanterns on tree
branches around an outdoor patio to
allow gatherings to last well into the
night hours. Or should the weather
turn stormy, cozy up by lamplight on
a covered porch. Because pleasant
summer days sometimes fall few and
far between, you’ll want to take full
advantage of the time you have to
spend outside, rain or shine.
