Recently, the sparrows fell from the roof and temperatures were high. People sought cooling in their homes en masse during the hot summer days. Summer stands for bloom, bright colors and cheerfulness, but how do you bring this feeling from outside inside? And how do you hold on to it when the weather is about to get cooler? In this blog, we tell you how to bring that fine summer atmosphere to life inside.
Colors and materials
Colors
A little further into autumn and winter, we tend to use darker shades appropriate to these seasons; in summer, on the other hand, we want light, bright colors in our homes. In the spring sunshine, dark colors quickly feel like dreary. Want to keep that summer feeling?
Work with neutral, natural tones as a base for your interior, which you complement with accessories in light pastel shades. That way you will have that summer atmosphere in your home in no time.
Accessories in your home are easy to adjust. Think of changing rugs, picture frames, cushions on the couch, vases and plants. But even a side table in a fresh color can make a big difference.
Materials
Materials such as wood, bamboo, wool, straw, cane, cotton or hemp give a natural look to your interior. They greatly enhance the outdoor feeling.
Pastel colors, for example, again combine well with light wooden materials, such as a side table next to the sofa. A dark teak table is more suitable for autumn or winter.
Plants and flowers
Plants and flowers set the mood for your interior. They can make a bare and chilly space attractive in no time. Plants often form the bridge between inside and outside. They not only have an aesthetic function, but also purify the air of your home or workspace. Do you love a jungle? Then place large plants with giant leaves in your home. Do you like more minimalist? Then consider a small cactus or a plant with fine leaves for your windowsill.
Cooling effect on the feet
In summer, you could use some cooling. Temperatures can also soar indoors. A cast floor feels wonderfully cool in the summer because the material of the floor takes on the ambient temperature. At ground level it is always a few degrees cooler than at the height where you feel it. If it gets a little too chilly, underfloor heating is of course wonderful.
EPI cast floors are available in dozens of colors and shades. There is always a (summer) color to suit your taste or decor.
