The summer season is the perfect time to relax, unwind and bring in a little of the beautiful sunshine for the season. There is no better way to start off summer than by following these summer decor tips to brighten up your Foster City apartment.

Let In More Light by Decluttering

Clear the way for some extra light in your home by removing dark items and cleaning up cluttered areas. Put away blankets and winter decor to help let your apartment fill with light and feel the summer sunshine all day long.

Add Some Live Flower Arrangements

Take advantage of the wonderful flower availability this time of year and decorate your mantel, dining room table, or shelving with some live plants or vases of cut summer flowers. Not only will you enjoy the aesthetic benefits, but you also can take advantage of the fragrance of the flowers as well.

Bring In Some Summer Scents

While fragrances such as cinnamon and evergreen can be great smells during the cold months, summer is time to trade out those candles and room deodorizers with some citrus, ocean breeze, or coconut scents to bring you the feel of carefree days on the beach.

Add a Little Beach Inside Your Home

While creating a full-scale beach may be an impossible feat, you can still bring a little bit of the beach back with you to enjoy in your home. Find some unique vases or go old school with some mason jars and create some sand creations, making sure to add in some shells or unique stones. Decorate your mantel or end tables with the vases, and add a few shells around the base to complete the look.

Think Bold and Bright When Choosing Colors

This season, bright colors are the trend in summer home decor. Think bright blues, yellows and oranges when choosing accent pieces or adding pops of color such as throw pillows and rugs. If your walls are neutral, add some color to those as well with a unique piece of art featuring bold and bright colors. If you have curtains or drapes, tie them back with a bright piece of fabric to allow the sunshine in during the day.

Embrace the summer season by implementing some of the summer decor tips listed above. If you are looking for a new apartment to try out your new summer decor ideas, call or stop by The Plaza luxury apartments to inquire about available floor plans.
