Summer Breeze

Introduce the feel of a relaxing afternoon on the patio indoors, and treat your home to a seasonal facelift

When it comes to sampling from seasonal trends to incorporate into your home, nice and easy does it. Coordinating around a summer feel by flirting with fruity scents or relying on rays of sunshine to brighten up the interior could be just what you need to soften your living space.

Try these tips to turn your home into a picturesque vision of the season. Alternating around nature-inspired patterns just might be the breath of refreshing summer air that it needs.

Try lemon aid

Put a bowl of lemons on the table. You're treated to instant sunny color and an appealing lemon scent.

Swap out accessories

Lighten up the accessories. Put the ceramic vases away and take out the colored glass.

Make your home a basket case

In the kitchen, put tableware into a rectangular basket that you keep on the counter. Let the family set their own places for dinner. Use a round basket for bread. In the den use a basket to hold magazines or newspapers. Place a large basket in the garage or on the deck. Tell everyone to brush off beach sand and put his or her used towels in the basket.

Decorate with herbs

Put a pot of fresh herbs on the windowsill. Choose aromatic rosemary for grilled lamb; mint sprigs for iced tea and chives for salads.

Keep it cool

Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator. Thinly slice a couple of lemons, slip the slices into a plastic bag and refrigerate. Serve cold water and a lemon slice floating on it. Try this with thinly sliced cucumbers, too.

Summarize your sofa

Slip your sofa into something more comfortable. Pack up the chenille and use cotton duck coverings. Shop for light colors or pastels. You can choose one color to use throughout a room or vary the colors for accents.
