Wishing it was summer holidays already? Fear not, you can make the countdown less of a drag by creating your own relaxed summer vibes right at home.
We’ve teamed up with Peet – the experts in coastal living to give you some hot summer tips that are guaranteed to bring those laid back feelings into your everyday.
Slow down the clock
We’re fortunate that Perth is one of the sunniest places around, so use it to your advantage and make the most of your lazy days and languid balmy nights by kicking back outdoors.
Whether it’s setting up your own outdoor movie screen, getting some mates round for a few refreshing coldies and a barbecue, stretching out on a daybed and basking in the sun with a good read or watching the sun go down, you can bid adieu to any lingering winter blues.
And if you have to stay indoors, then invest in a plush sofa where you can sprawl, relax and reimagine a beachside deckchair session.
Warm and breezy pops of colour
You can make any room in your home feel like you’re close to the ocean, by replacing any décor that is dull and outdated with bright colours, prints and patterns to liven up your living space.
You don’t have to go all Hamptons style, something as simple as changing up your pillows or a rug, adding fresh blooms, or adding a statement piece to your room can boost that summer sensation.
Get creative and use elements of the seaside such as shells, timbers, or beach sand for an added beachy effect.
If you’re really into the DIY, then giving your walls a fresh coat of neutral colours will add to the year-long summer appeal.
The sweet smell of summer
It’s amazing what a lasting scent in your home can do to arouse your relaxation. Think scented candles, diffusers and soaps that evoke a summer feeling.
Try distinct aromas like coconut, tropical fruits, lavender and cucumber to have you thinking you’re lounging in paradise.
Opt for fresh flowers. They not only look and smell divine, they can also brighten up your space without having to try too hard.
Let in the light
Get rid of the drapes and heavy curtains, open out your windows and allow the natural light to filter through.
Even if it’s cold outside, it won’t feel like it is with the sunshine streaming through to greet you in the morning.
Relive your best summer moments
Get your favourite summer holiday snaps up on display around the house.
Whether it’s scenic panoramic shots, seaside antics or sunshiny days with the family, you can bring back the good times and provide inspiration for your next summer adventure.
