Summer is the season that gives us the most pleasant moments of relaxation, but how can we prolong this feeling of vacation once the heat and long days begin to fade? The answer is simple: by bringing summer inside our home! Creating an indoor relaxation corner with summer elements is a great way to keep the magic of the warmer months alive and continue to enjoy a fresh and welcoming environment. Here are some ideas on how to do it:
1. Choose Light Colors and Fabrics
To evoke a summer atmosphere, favor light colors and natural fabrics. Opt for tones such as sky blue, mint green, sandy beige and white. These colors recall the sea air and sunny days. For fabrics, choose cotton, linen and rattan.
2. Add Plants and Flowers
Plants and flowers are perfect for adding a touch of summer freshness. Plant green plants in colorful pots and place them strategically around your relaxation corner. Succulents, such as cacti and succulents, are easy to care for and add a modern look. Don't forget fresh or artificial flowers for a touch of color and vibrancy.
3. Soft and Welcoming Lighting
Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a relaxing atmosphere. Opt for soft, warm lights, such as table lamps with light fabric shades or rattan pendant lamps. Create a cozy atmosphere with soft lighting that recalls a summer sunset. Scented candles and string lights are perfect for adding a touch of magic.
4. Use Thematic Accessories
Themed accessories can enrich the space and make it even more summery. Think tropical-themed clocks, brightly colored mirrors, and summery jewelry holders. Add small details like wicker baskets, nautical-themed rugs, and decorative plates with a sea theme. These elements help evoke the charm of summer even when you're indoors.
5. Create a Comfort Zone
A relaxation corner should be your personal refuge. Add a comfortable armchair, perhaps with a pouf or a rocking chair. Set up a reading corner with a bookcase and a good selection of books that is ideal for spending pleasant hours immersed in reading and why not, a nice desk in preparation for # Backtoschool
Bringing summer indoors is a great way to extend the season of sun and relaxation. With fresh colors, natural materials, green plants, and themed accessories, you can create a relaxing corner that will make you feel like you're still on vacation. Use these tips to transform your indoor space into a summer retreat that you can enjoy all year long!
