Decorate with Cool Colors
Think bright! Pinks, yellows, purples, greens, and of course blues to give an instantly cool feel to a room or home. Not sure you want colors this intense? Even the softer pastel tones of yellow, pink, purple, and blue will have a similar cooling effect. Go for cool tones in furniture, rugs, and accessories.

Accessorize for Summer

Bring in the silk floral arrangements with plenty of color for the summer. Even greenery alone will cool down the room by incorporating soothing green throughout the room. These small touches will make a room feel season-appropriate for summer. Buy some new artwork to replace your existing pieces. It is the second most effective way to change a look of a room other than painting! The price of art is so low you can afford to buy something new for every season not just summer!

Uncover the Floors

Bare hardwood or tile floors are great for summer! Roll up your winter rugs to reveal the cool uncovered floors below! They keep cool all summer long while the rest of your home is scorching. You can also add new rugs that are light in color and texture for the summer. Spending sometime barefoot in your home will instantly cool you off!

Recover the Upholstery

Recover throw pillows with new covers made from summer-weight fabrics, or purchase ready-made summer pillows. An inexpensive way to change the look of your larger pieces of furniture is to buy slip- covers for them. They are relatively inexpensive and make a huge impact. By changing your beige chair to blue you will change the entire look and feel to your room!

Have Some Lemonade

Set out a pitcher of lemonade with some glasses on a serving tray in the family room. It will encourage you and your guests to sit down, relax and cool off! Before you know it you will have forgotten about the heat!

Add The Scents of Summer

Fill your home with the cool scents of summer –floral, ocean breeze, fresh linen, or citrus. Candles, scented sprays, and potpourri are a few of the many ways to add cooling scents to your space.
