Summer is here to stay, which usually means a beach vacation, frozen margaritas, and chilling in a pleasantly decorated space. But, not everyone has the time, especially if you\u2019re a working professional (glaring at you, students-with-no-summer-work!). While you\u2019re not able to fly to your dream destination, you can still decorate your apartment to be stylish and relaxing. There are plenty of summer decorations to choose from, and we’ve collected some favorites.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Making seasonal changes might seem like a drag or unnecessary, but you\u2019d be surprised how little changes can freshen up your space and make it feel completely different. While it\u2019s hard to make big, permanent changes to a rental apartment, there are still ways to spruce it up.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Summer Decorations for your Apartment<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lighter Curtains and Bedding<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Remove the heavy or blackout curtains for the summer. Of course, the summer sun is strong, so consider finding some curtains that have a dark and sheer layer. Pull the dark curtains close in the evening, and get some sunlight with the sheer curtains during the day.\u00a0Swap out your warmer bedding for some lighter fabrics like cotton or microfiber to help you stay cool during hot summer nights.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nothing says clean air and a touch of green than adding some potted plants and flowers to your apartment. You can use plants as d\u00e9cor, keep the humidity lower, and improve your mood. Try plants like the spider plant, ZZ plant, lucky bamboo, succulents, cacti, or peace lilies. However, if you have a pet, be sure to pick out plants that are non-toxic and pet-friendly<\/a>. If you have trouble keeping plants alive, artificial plants are also a great way to make your space seem more lively. Plus, silk plants look amazingly real these days.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Add Summer Colors<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ditch the dark and neutral tones this year and opt for something brighter. Add bright colors like oranges, greens, blues, or yellows and tie them into your usual d\u00e9cor. Too many bright colors might be overwhelming, so pick one or two that complement each other. If solid bright colors are a no-go for your taste, pick out contemporary patterns that look fresh. Lastly, If you have artwork hanging around the apartment, pick up two or three new ones that remind you of summer, or switch out family and friend frames for summer memory photos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
