It does take a bit of work to keep an open outdoor area clean all the time, but so worth it for outdoor relaxing and seating for a group. Cushions and pillows add that soft goods factor that you definitely want when you’re outdoors relaxing.

Bring the outdoors inside by having live plants or fresh cut flowers throughout your decor. If you don't have a green thumb invest in some great fake plants/flowers that will last you years to come.

Science shows that we sleep better in a cooler space. So when the weather is scorching, it only makes sense to swap out your bedding for something that will keep you cooler and more comfortable in the heat. As a bonus, it’s a great way to give your room a fresh new look for the season. While you’re at it, try swapping out any throw pillows or end-of-the-bed blankets for something that feels lighter and more summery.

Accent with a mix of bright and unexpected colors. Have fun with it and try out colors in your space you haven't tried before. Summer is the perfect time to try something new.

You’ll be amazed at how big of a difference a few small swaps will make.
