Our Coronado dreamy summer is on its way, but far from over. This month we celebrate Independence Day and savor the long summer evenings as the sun lingers over our beautiful ocean.
Try one or more of these 3 ways to bring the joys of summer right into your home.
1: Bring on the Green
Not many things denote summer more than life in the color green. Keep it easy by bringing in some fresh stems of your favorite palm, a tree branch, a new plant or even a large tree. It can be a statement maker with a broad leaf, or give off a whimsical look with a wispy, airy branch.
If you can, make it big. Anything that’s gracious in size goes a long way- even in a small space.
Incorporating something living in your home makes such a difference to the fresh feel of your space.
2: Entertain Beautifully
Long, slow summer days mean more time spent dining and entertaining al fresco. Invest in some beautiful outdoor drink and dinnerware. There are some great products available made of melamine and acrylics that are shatter resistant, machine washable and kid friendly- all while looking beautiful!
Don’t compromise a perfect evening with a slew of red cups and paper plates. Make the simple moments special.
3: Welcome Color
Bring in some color splashes to pair with your new fresh greens. We’ve lived so many years in a colorless design world . The absence of color has created a strong craving for more saturation- not only in our fashion, but we’re also seeing strong hues pulled back into the home. Not sure what your color is? Look in your closet- what color do you feel best in? You don’t have to commit in a big way. A new set of pillows, a piece of art, or even painting your front door in a bold hue will do just the trick!
All are wonderful ways to design the interiors of your Coronado home.
