As temperatures rise, it’s time to embrace the season’s vibrant energy and infuse your living spaces with a breath of fresh air. Embracing what suits your home the best can be a hassle – from figuring out what colour suits your rooms the best to what furniture looks best in your living space, the options are seemingly endless.
What if we tell you we have found two experts with who’s tips you can finally let go of all the worry and elevate your home’s style and create a refreshing retreat for yourself.
- Print ParadeKeep decor light by stripping away unnecessary layers. Aartee Roy, Business Head of Home & Lifestyle, Fabindia, says, “Choose from solid sheer cotton linens to block-printed patterns for authentic and sustainable options that are perfect to add exclusivity to your space. If you are some one who loves to experiment tie and dye prints are a must for your sanctuary.”
- Use Stain-resistant paint for lasting sheenKuldip Raina, Director- Sales and Marketing, Shalimar Paints Ltd, says, “As walls are constantly subjected to dust, dirt, and stains, especially with kids and pets around, coating them with stain-resistant paint can maintain their sheen for a longer duration. Stain-resistant paint can withstand discolouration and prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt on the walls. Moreover, stubborn stains from splashes of food, crayon marks and dirt, can be effortlessly wiped off, making it much easier to maintain the beauty of the inner space.”
- Greenway to HeavenIt’s time to go exotic with tropical ferns and florals! Indoor plants have always managed to take the centre stage from peace lilies to spider plants, and English ivies; they are a perfect addition when one wants to opt for simplicity and practicality.
- Old GloryRoy shares, “Rustic and contemporary — earthy elements not only complement summer-inspired decor but also add a sense of casual elegance to your home. From wicker baskets to rattan furniture, and jute rugs these are perfect to add warmth and visual interest.”
- Keep Your CoolThis season choose for natural fibre rugs that not only have cooling properties but also maintain a pleasant temperature indoors; bamboo, cork or ceramic tiles are perfect!
- Go green with Eco-Friendly PaintsFree from toxins, odours, chemicals, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), eco-friendly paints produce fewer fumes and irritants while drying. “These paints are made from natural ingredients, which improve indoor air quality and reduce the risk of respiratory illnesses. Eco-friendly paint is a safer choice, especially with pregnant women, infants, and elderly people around,” explains Raina.
- Explore the world of pastel coloursTraverse beyond the world of classic shades and infuse your home with the refreshing warmth of summer with lively pastel hues. Raina believes, “Pastels create an atmosphere of serenity and tranquillity while adding depth and personality to the walls. From Lemon yellow or Blush pink, the pastel tone will remind you of the gentle summer breeze and spring blossoms and will make your space look intriguing and inviting.” Small changes can have a big impact – especially when it comes to paint color inspiration; from solids to sheens – we have you covered.
