The summer is typically the time of year when we dress in lighter/brighter clothing to keep cool—so it’s also a good time to use softer, lighter colors within the home. In many situations, lighter colors give a space a crisp, fresh and clean feeling. Light colors can also make smaller rooms feel larger.
Where to Start
When decorating or deciding what colors to bring into any space, I suggest you begin by evaluating a space from the doorway to get a full perspective of the space.
From there, decide what will be the largest pieces in the room and begin with those. For example, select the color and material for your sofa before selecting your coffee table, or select your bed before selecting your nightstands.
