Make The Most Of Your Home This Summer
A recent survey revealed that nearly 74% of Brits are planning to stay in the UK this summer in order to make the most of local attractions and to enjoy their own home rather than travel abroad. So for those looking to spend more time relaxing at home, we thought we would outline a number of ways to prepare your house for a holiday at home this summer.
Summer is a great time to inject colour into a home, whether it’s adding some bold accessories, repainting the garden furniture or simply changing your bedding to a lighter (and brighter) option. Some of the hottest trends right now include bright colours like lime greens and fuchsias, tropical prints and wildlife accessories, all of which will help bring a summer feel into a home.
The kitchen often goes through a transitional process during the summer months as slow cookers and roasting trays are pushed to the back of the cupboard. Make meal times more exciting and bring a drop of sunshine into the home with pastel ceramic plates and bright sharing platters for salads. These also make a great feature for the dining room table.
The garden becomes an extra living/dining room during the warmer months and is a great space for entertaining guests in summer evenings. Garden furniture is easy to renovate with a splash of paint, pastel colours and bright reds are also popular at the moment. Use potted plants and colourful statues to accessorise as this will give the garden a personality and make it feel more welcoming to guests.
All of our developments are designed to reflect their beautiful surroundings such as our stunning Birkacre Park development in Chorley with its gorgeous pond and greenery that allows residents to feed the ducks and enjoy sunny days.
If you’re still struggling for inspiration on how to make the most of your home this summer, visit one of our marketing suites, show homes or Pinterest board where we have a number of great ideas to share.
