Seasonal Shifts: How To Shift Your Space From Spring To Summer
With each new season upon us, we sense a shift in a number of ways. Whether you notice it in the sun rising earlier, the breeze growing warmer, or the trees becoming more green, Spring represents new beginnings and personal growth. Summer is the time for playfulness, and true radiance. The transition between these two seasons is a great opportunity to grow your space alongside you. Here are our favorite suggestions to shift your space from spring to summer!
Color Palette
Spring is most often associated with beautiful pastel colors, resembling the flowers it welcomes. While sticking to a color palette you love, experiment with brighter, bolder versions of these colors to bring in a touch of warm summer vibes. If you are looking for brand new colors to discover, try dashes of coral, cobalt blue, and dandelion yellow. Even small elements of change to your palette can make a huge difference. Start small with colorful accent pillows or a new art piece – as the summer season grows closer, you can diversify your space even more!
Nature Indoors
The best way to welcome the summer fun into your space is to bring the outside in! Incorporating plants and florals into your space is not only a great way to spruce up your design, but can also benefit your mental and physical health. Place greenery near your sunniest of windows, and floral arrangements in standout areas of your space. Warm up your space with tulips and peonies in the spring, and eucalyptus and palm plants in the summer. You truly can not go wrong with incorporating the beauty of nature into your space.
Function and Flow
What else screams change more than switching up the layout of your space? Altering the flow of your space can help your body to recognize and welcome the transition of the seasons, even with just a few small changes. Shift a few pieces of furniture or update your patio space to bring in a new sense of flow and balance. A great way to do this is by following the principles of Feng Shui. This helps to create a positive energy flow through your space. No matter what you decide to do, it is always a good idea to make sure you optimize the natural lighting. Welcome the spring and summer sun!
Follow a Mood Board
Spring is always blossoming with inspiration, and you can bring that same inspiration into your space. Try looking through our portfolio and social media content to find endless design inspiration fitting for every season. You can even search through platforms like Pinterest. Discover the color palette that feels right for you and your space. When you add new decor, look for items that can be repurposed throughout the year, or look through items you already own. A winter blanket basket can be repurposed during the summer for a large plant. A colorful accent pillow can find its way into your office in the fall, sparking inspiration and creativity. Keep your thoughts and imagination organized, and your space will follow suit.
Changing your space can seem daunting at first, but making small adjustments throughout the changing seasons can assist your mind and body in the transitions. Just like the slow and small changes that seem to occur daily during this time of year, it is always good to start small. Seasonal accents are only recommended to take up 30% or less of your decor, so don’t stress about making your space a seasonal wonderland. Design what makes you happy, grounded, and well balanced. No matter how you are shifting your space from spring to summer, remember to enjoy the growth that follows.
