Apartment Décor Summer Tips to Try

Changing up your apartment’s décor with the incoming seasons is a great way to keep your living area feeling fresh and fun. Here are a few summer décor tips to try this June.

 

Fabric covered pots: putting fabric on your flower or plant pots is the hot new home décor trend. The process is simple and can be completed with a hot glue gun.

 

Thinner curtains: if you still have your heavy and dark toned winter drapes up, now is the time to switch them out for light weight and colorful curtains. Once the weather gets hot, letting a late night breeze inside your apartment is a must.

 

More mirrors: add more mirrors into your living rooms and bedrooms to capture extra light and help brighten up your space during those late summer nights.
