5 sizzling decor tips to give your home the wow factor this summer

As we slip into the warmer season and start to enjoy longer days, evenings spent entertaining out on the alfresco and the splashes of colour that mark this bright, sunny time of the year, now is a great time to use the energy of summer to revamp your home décor.

Our Interior Design experts from our MyChoice Design Studio have shared some of the trends and secrets on giving your home a fresh breath of life this season.

1. Team neutrally coloured furnishings with pops of colour in your accessories. Accentuate the interior of your home by playing with colour and contrast, and don’t be afraid to use geometric designs on accessories like cushions or in artwork.
2. Bring the outside in. Open the doors to your alfresco to let the summer breeze inside and create a stunning sensation of being on holiday in your home every day. Decorate your home with indoor plants and vases of your favourite flowers to brighten up your living spaces.
3. Capture imaginations with brass and copper pendant lights. Embrace the industrial trend by featuring warmer metals, like brass and copper, in your lighting and furnishings.
4. Create a timeless bathroom in black and white. Use soft black and white tones to give your bathroom a stylish and contemporary look. You can use these colours in your towels and bathroom accessories, such as your soap dispenser and tumbler.
5. Take advantage of the rusty and earthy look of natural materials in your décor. Bring nature into your home through lighter coloured wooden furniture, such as Oak and Elm timbers. Create a down to earth feel in your home through larger wooden pieces, such as dressers, bedside tables and desks, or in your smaller accessories, such as timber coasters, bowls and wall decorations.
