Summer is officially here, and for all the time we can now spend enjoying the outside world, it’s not a time to forget about how your home looks and feels.
Despite the lovely weather that summer brings, we still spend the majority of time inside. And it’s important our homes make us feel happy.
We share some of our ideas to help you bring that summer vibe inside:
Many people automatically look at common living spaces like lounges, conservatories and kitchen diners when decorating. But it’s important not to overlook how transforming the space around your staircase can dramatically change your home.
With so much foot traffic up, down and past your staircase, make sure your staircase stands out this summer. As well as your staircase, your landing and hallway play a pivotal role in how your home all comes together.
Light and oceanic blues are the ‘in’ colours for 2021. But as always, your colour choice will be influenced by the space you have available. For example, darker and bolder colours could work well in larger open spaces.
We’re really keen on pale, neutral colours like shades of white, cream, grey or peach right now because they’re adaptable and can be used all year round. They give you an excellent backdrop to chop and change other elements of your rooms, where you can throw in colour through features such as rugs, throws, plants and pictures.
And what’s more, these pale, neutral colours work well with natural woods so if you’ve got an exposed natural staircase, you’ll be all set.
If those colours aren’t your bag, think about bright yellows, coral pinks or even light greens, which have all been picked out by experts for summer 2021.
Remember, going bold with your colour palette could help you make a statement.
One of the easiest ways to give your stairs a summer refresh is to not even touch the stairs at all. Your walls can help to transform your stairs, quickly and easily.
From painting the walls a different colour to simply switching up the pictures and any shelving features can help to give it the transformation you’re looking for. Switching from dark to light and pottery to plants can make a real impact.

If your stairs aren’t carpeted, you could even think about giving your staircase a lick of paint to give it that summer feel. A light yellow or airy beige could feel like stepping on a beach, while a bright white or earthy brown could look like summer house decking.
