Bring home a summer atmosphere in simple ways and enjoy the company of your roommates, so that even if you don't go anywhere, not even for a day, don't miss the summer carefree images so much, which we all need to …empty the mind and …recharge our batteries.…
Theoretically the most relaxed time of the year for most people, even
in the midst of the financial crisis, either this is combined with a few days
holidays or just with our absence from work for these
a few days and the opportunity to “let's live” and enjoy our home,
since unfortunately modern rhythms and obligations usually do not allow us

1. Bullshit, shells, sand, The,what …found draft
Use the natural materials and objects identified with summer to decorate any part of the house. Some garlands of shells, some clear glasses with compositions of shells, pebbles and sand etc. they will radically change the look of the house in relation to its winter decoration and will transport you with your mind to places …exotic.
Just avoid them …exaggerations, it's always about your home, not for summer bazaar nor for …cafe on an island and the safest way not to overload your premises, is to withdraw from the foreground for the period of summer decorations and compositions with winter or other references, εξασφαλίζοντας μια απόλυτα καθαρόαιμη καλοκαιρινή αίσθηση.
The most important thing in this style are the summer pieces, so that they achieve their purpose truly and in an ideal way, is to be distributed in all areas of the house and mainly in sizes no …Lilliputian.
For example, small pebbles or shells scattered right and left do not manage to create such an atmosphere, you need large pieces or a large number of them gathered in boxes, baskets, vases or platters as well as elements with a large visual volume such as hanging garlands and some curtains made of such materials or of fabric with summer patterns, some frames with …summer theme etc.
2. Fabrics
No matter how many changes you attempt in individual decorative elements if the fabrics …they smell like winter, the same will continue to be the case with the overall feel of the space.
If your furniture covers are purely winter looking and textured, cover them up with throws in summery qualities and hues, replace heavy and dark curtains with as thin and light as possible.
Use summer fabric rugs as well as straw rugs found at all home improvement stores to add …points to the overall and of course take advantage of the presence of the decorative pillows in the …maximum.
They are able to really transform the points you will place in the simplest and most economical way. Choose fabrics to match the whole of your space in summer designs and colors, for both indoor and outdoor areas of the home.
3. Wicker and reed
Take advantage of their almost exclusively summer aesthetics, as much as it suits your home, depending on whether you live in a detached house or an apartment, in the city center or a little further out, etc.
Wicker items, all kinds of useful and decorative baskets, a collection of straw hats hanging on a wall, bamboo and rattan furniture, as well as their very tasteful imitations that are more and more numerous in the modern furniture market and at very good prices, just some of the ideas for this type of decoration that of course it's obvious that you can't do it “impose” in houses decorated in a strictly classical style, ενώ αντίθετα είναι εξαιρετική πρόταση για χώρους σε στυλ country και γενικά πιο ανάλαφρου ύφους και ασφαλώς ιδανική για εξοχικά σπίτια κοντά στη θάλασσα.
4. Light..light…light…
The dominant element of …endless days of summer compared to the short and dull days of winter, that's why don't leave its effect unexploited not only on the image of the house but also on your mood.
Open the windows and balcony doors and …extend the house outwards, even if its outer part is but a small balcony. It's enough to give you a sense of the changing season.
“Forbid” in thick and opaque curtains to deprive your spaces of light more than the necessary point so that the sun does not bother you inside the house and you transfer some hours as many activities and jobs as possible to the outside.
Eat, drink your coffee, read, why not iron or clean your beans 🙂 in the yard or on the balcony and enjoy the sunshine, it is certain that you will miss it more than anything else when it will be already five o'clock in the afternoon …night.
5. Colour… colour… colour… Unless we are talking about a summer house in a navy style, which by definition is white – blue dominates, nor for the absolute white country aka “Scandinavian” which is also one of the most elegant and impressive options to give every part of the house a light and bright summer style, then nothing binds your choices and you are free to figuratively and literally apply the rule that summer adds …color in our lives.
If you are going to do it with fabrics, with colorful furniture or some strongly colored bulky individual decorative elements of the space is a matter of taste and choice and of course also depends on the general style of decorating the house.
One could say it also depends on …how much you can afford for such seasonal changes, but be assured that most of this type of decorations are paid not in money but in …disposal …imagination and …love for home and your daily life in it.
Any dull and faded dark furniture with a little work and a can of paint can become an enviable piece, in the fairs and bazaars you will find fabrics in very beautiful designs that do not cost much more than …a frappe on the beach, in department stores with home goods also at very cheap prices decorative items, lamps etc. with …summer breeze and the process to make pillows or curtains requires no knowledge …nuclear physics.
It's all a matter of taste and interest in what you want to create, τα είπαμε και μην τα ρίχνουμε όλα στα οικονομικά και την οικονομική την κρίση, it is not much bigger than our aesthetic crisis and especially the crisis of indifference to the small and so precious things in this life, those that if you give them the importance they truly deserve, they will help you to balance and deal with the big ones much more easily.
6. Nights …summer Even more …endless sometimes and from his hot days and demand theirs … atmosphere.
So light up both the interior of the house and especially its exterior spaces and, of course, beyond the central lighting with…summer sparkles.
So light up both the interior of the house and especially its exterior spaces and, of course, beyond the central lighting with…summer sparkles.
Candles, lanterns and imaginative ideas and constructions can be given in a very easy way to the balcony, την αυλή ή τον κήπο σας την ρομαντική καλοκαιρινή όψη που παίρνουν τα μικρά καφέ και τα μπαράκια στα νησιά με το που σκοτεινιάζει.
So disengage from it …syndrome “but these are bothering us now;… ” yes, these too …they withered us because the real quality of life for which we all cut ourselves and do not stop parroting the …her candy, does not start from …cubic meters of our car or whether we have or not to spend a few days on vacation in a luxurious hotel.
It starts with the small moments and everyday little joys, unless you believe that people who are indifferent and incapable of making their own and their people's daily life more beautiful and the lives of all of them in 2-3-4 rooms, they are worthy of making one …more beautiful and better for all of us world.
7. Pots, flowers
The trademark of summer and the further away from the natural environment you live, the more need you have in your small or larger available space, even on a small balcony in the heart of the city, to convey atmosphere …countryside.
This does not require special effort either …estate, only the right one …way.
This does not require special effort either …estate, only the right one …way.
Choose, depending on the time you have available for their care, plants resistant and without special requirements and the easiest solution are the classics “colors and scents” of the Greek summer.
Geraniums, royals, marigolds, petunias, honeysuckle, jasmine along with some herbs like mint, parsley, lavender is enough.

Choose original and quirky planting containers such as cans in their natural form or painted in any color you like, baskets, metal containers and buckets, hanging pots and baskets etc. and you use the walls and the outside of the windows to …decorate with flowers, it is an ideal solution that does not deprive you of valuable space.
But even one inside the house …green leaf in a jar, so without it being a celebration, for no particular reason, it is proven not …it never harmed anyone on the contrary it will not only beautify the space but also change your mood, so don't focus on …what flowers …that put …at which point, let it be just one margarita in a glass as long as it is on the table where you drink your coffee, next to your computer or bedside table, …where, after all, you are in every moment and can truly enjoy it.
8. Walls
the most “voluminous” point inside every house and yet the most “neglected” in any attempt to update our sites. Most even if we enter the process for more …summer fabrics or decorative items, it is certain that we will leave the frames and whatever else is on the walls untouched, how do we not think that with a few simple changes in these very elements, the house will very easily acquire a completely different look.
So take down as many as you can from the walls …classically they are there and replace the standard format frames with …color and …imagination.
“Fill up” plain or painted in any color you want, frames with pieces of fabric or paper in cheerful or summery patterns matching the furniture and fabrics of each room, make up …natural frames …framing real pebbles or shells, enlarge your poses from some beach and make …personal posters.

…Have the children draw summer pictures and make one at a point …unique collection for the walls of the house, replace a dull picture frame with a simple wall hanger to fill with straw hats, dress up a wall with wallpaper in a bold color or paint it a different color than others, use wall stickers in seasonal designs, to bring the change of season to any part of the house.
You are using “bulletin boards” in original versions and fill them with photos and postcards, … hang on the wall even natural flowers in wall-mounted vases, bottles or all kinds of containers and in general …direct your imagination and ingenuity in a different form “cadre”.
Such updates to the elements that decorate the walls, is one of the simplest, easy and economical changes you can make in the decoration of the house and those with the most impressive effect for the overall image of a room.
9. Not just in the living room
Generally, we tend to when we talk about “renewal” at home to focus on the living room, and in the case of summer, our need for something different is enough …even to the garden or the balcony.
Nevertheless “our home” it is all the areas of the house from the kitchen and the bathroom to the bedroom, ours or those of the children and the office and not only the areas that are basically …we accept visits.
Do not “underestimate” so no space, it is like “underestimate” the hours you spend in it and don't leave any point out of your summer plans.
Refresh the look of the walls in the bedrooms too, change some curtains or any type of fabric with lighter patterns and colors, remember that flowers in vases love them too …bedrooms, find a spot in the kitchen to rest a series of herb pots and some small objects with a purely summer style in each space.
Είναι βέβαιο ότι ακόμα και η πιο μικρή τέτοια “intervention” it will compensate you by going into each room.
10. “mum”…I am bored
From the biggest summer ones “problems” now
which now the of all kinds “judgments” they have shortened our days
holidays at the minimum or even at …not at all, it is how we will keep
the children, from the time the schools close, busy but also
happy within it …city, of …his neighborhood
…home.

holidays at the minimum or even at …not at all, it is how we will keep

…home.
So if you don't want to be, a hundred times a day, recipients of that endless nagging “and what to do now …” “I am bored …” “when are we going to the sea”…. but neither do you see them …they are blocked by the hours in front of the TV screen and also the computer, teach them early …more creative lifestyles. It is everything,what more important can you offer them.
Αν έχετε κήπο, a small yard or even a balcony let them play and experiment like … gardeners. Get cages or all kinds of other weird containers, capable of attracting their attention, more than common pots, buy flower seeds and small vegetable plants for them to enjoy watching their evolution and growth thanks to their own care, learn them to plant, to water, to carve, to generally deal with more … live things than an electronic game.
Teach them to care about the space they live in, build with them the first structures for their room, the ideas and options are endless, let them be and make a mess of everything trying to paint their first wall, in the next they will do much better and above all teach them with it …your example how complaining doesn't change anything how, naturally continuing to set tomorrow's goals, today with what we all have every moment we will live it and how if we do not lack the basic, everything else is in our hands to make it simpler or more difficult, whether or not to let them oppress our scarce and irreplaceable time in this world.
In this world that may never happen “beautiful and angelically made”, at least not with the same ease that the microcosm of each one of us can turn into.
