When you think about summer, you may not think about taking a trip to the furniture store. However, summer is the perfect season to upgrade your furniture to prepare for the arrival of summer guests, picnics, and parties. Whether your budget is large or small, you can find something fun at the furniture store to dress up your home to celebrate the arrival of summer. 

Think light and airy

If you want to replace old furniture, consider swapping your dark furniture for lighter styles. Look for sofas and chairs upholstered in light and airy fabrics, such as white or pale yellow. Floral designs and pastel checkered prints are also a great choice for creating a light and refreshing look.

Light shades of wood, such as oak, will also brighten up your home, and you can never go wrong with white wooden furniture. Refresh your living room with white accent tables or bookcases and watch your living room come to life with the fresh and airy feeling of a summer day.

Add a splash of color

Every room can benefit from a splash a color. However, it can be tempting to stick with colors you consider safe. Summer is a great time to step out of your comfort zone and try a new color, such as pink, peach, turquoise, or green. Adding an element or two in a fun color can lift your spirits and add energy to a room.

Adding a new lamp, area rug, or accent chair in a fun color is a small thing that makes a big impact. Adding a colorful vase, picture frame, or basket is an inexpensive way to refresh a room for minimal expense.

Create a summery scene

What comes to mind when you think about summer? For many people, summer evokes thoughts of sunshine, blue skies, relaxation, and lush vegetation. Creating a summer scene in your home will help you enjoy the season whether you are indoors or out.

Add a large piece of framed art with an outdoor scene to dress up a wall. Create a gallery wall of summery-themed smaller prints. And you can never go wrong with fresh-cut flowers in a decorative vase to liven up any room for summer.

New furniture and décor can help you lighten up your home as you enter the refreshing season of summer. Whether you wish to give the guest bedroom a makeover with new furniture or you just want to give your home a new look, choosing the right furniture and décor will help you usher in summer in style.
