Decorating with a Summer Flair

Does the mild weather make you want to revitalize your environment? You don’t have to spend a fortune on furniture or renovations to bring a touch of summer to your decor. Here are some tips to give your home a sunny look!

 

Colours, flavours, travel spirit

This summer, vitamin-rich hues are in the spotlight at Benjamin Moore. The Colour Trends 2023 palette includes an assortment of hues that inspire both indulgence and travel.

Tofino Sunset (CC-156) and Savannah Green (2150-30) are soft and creamy, inspiring the pleasures of enjoying a matcha latte or milkshake in the sunshine. As for Raspberry Blush (2008-30), the Colour of the Year, is a perfect shade to add a bright, vitamin-rich touch to your decor.

To travel without leaving home, choose North Sea Green (2053-30) or Starry Night Blue (2067-20). These enchanting hues will help you get away from it all, while staying in the comfort of your own home.

 

Wallpaper is in style

For a simple splash of colour, opt for floral wallpaper, graphic lines or modern prints. Inexpensive, this option is sure to draw compliments and eye-catching attention from your guests.

Since wallpaper is often highly patterned, it’s best to apply it to only one wall in your room. This way, you will be able to create a very interesting balance between the colour of the adjacent walls and the wallpaper chosen.

 

Long live contrasts!

Dare to decorate with pops of colour: opt for contrasting ones! To avoid darkening the room, you can paint only one of the walls. Feeling bold? Paint a door that leads to a room with soft colours instead.

Whichever option you choose, you can then complete your new decor with a few colourful accessories.
