Summer, and the apartment is gloomy, there is little light, because the windows are closed by the crown of trees, noisy because of passing cars, dusty, in general, uncomfortable. I want the home to be filled with light and freshness, so that the mood also becomes summer. In fact, it is not difficult, just add bright colors to the interior. Let the fountain of color pour in. You can do this by adding bright accents to a fairly calm initially interior.
What can be updated in the interior
- Textiles: curtains on the windows, sofa and chair covers, pillow covers, a tablecloth on the table.
- Change the picture on the wall, hang one in which the artist used bright colors, which causes a surge of positive emotions.
- Replace dry bouquets with fresh flowers or plants in a flower pot.
- Put decorative plates, figurines, ceramic vases in a conspicuous place.
How to choose flowers for a summer bouquet
What, if not flowers, can create a summer mood. They can be added to the interior in the form of bouquets, and as prints for curtains or sofa cushions, and as paintings on the wall. It is important to choose the right combination of shades. Warm colors are typical for summer: yellow, orange, red, pink, lilac. The main color, of course, is green in all variations, especially herbal shades. A cheat sheet of color combinations can be found right on the street, because it is important that everything looks as natural as possible. Flowers are welcome in any form, up to the cover of a magazine with a field of chamomile, as if accidentally left on a coffee table.
Summer shades in the interior
Here the principle of selection is the same: maximum proximity to natural shades, including the colors of sea sand, pebbles, tanned skin, and a cloudless sky. You can cut out photos of summer views from color magazines and use them as a hint when choosing colors. If you want to keep the summer in the room all year round, you can repaint the walls or furniture. A Japanese-style movable screen or a through rack with potted plants can also become a bright spot.
We present some of the most successful color combinations according to designers:
- one color - several shades, for example, we take green, starting from salad, ending with rich coniferous or all variants of heavenly shades;
- matching colors, everyone remembers how they studied the color wheel at school, matching colors are nearby: orange, yellow, light green or lilac, pink, red, and here's another: purple, blue and beige;
- contrasting colors on the color wheel, they are opposite each other, of course, if everything is contrasting, the eyes will quickly get tired of such a combination, but a few bright accents, on the contrary, will enliven the interior.
Little things are not for comfort
The house accumulates a lot of trinkets, which many consider it necessary to flaunt. This is a bad form, and there will be no comfort from this, but only irritation from variegation. It is better to replace a lot of unrelated trinkets with a few summer souvenirs in the same style, for example, in a nautical one. Let there be more air and freedom in the house, which is possible only by applying the principle of minimalism.
