Paint walls in cool colours: 
Try painting walls in calm colors like apple green, blue or lemon yellow. Striped walls can give perfect summer feel to home. Fresh coat of color can make home look bright and summery. What about painting your room in turquoise and then accenting it with yellow and green cushions and other accessories.

Update furnishing:
Furnishing suddenly changes the appearance of any room. Try hanging white sheer curtains to brighten up the room but it's not always white that brighten up the space, you can try shades of blue or green to add the cheer. Flowery and leafy print bed linens are best for summers. Use light and airy ones for perfect summery feel.

Paint furniture:
Painting furniture in cool colours is an easy and quick way to welcome summers. Try painting dark furniture in white color to bring in the freshness and place bold color pillows on sofa to compliment it. Yes it can be cane wood/wicker furniture. Use wicker, cane or iron furniture for outdoors. It's suitable for summers and put some fresh flowers and tea light on the table to spend pleasant summer evening.

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer.

Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Yesterday one of the readers' of Rang Decor suggested that I post about 'Summer Decor Ideas'. Following that I received a lot of suggestions about what readers were looking for and topping the list was simple DIY ideas!

So here is the deal. Starting today I will be posting simple DIY ideas and styling from my home!
Stay tuned. A wee bit nervous about taking on this project, so please be with me:-)

Peaches & Pinks...
Bring out your cushion covers in fresh colour palette of peaches, pinks, blush, creams & white. A few sprinkling of copper or gold adds magic...

Brass containers are great as vases, but copper too has it's charm and compliments the peach & pink palette so well.

Carnations come in so many shades and last long too! So have fun and enjoy the season!
