Villa Regale Apartments: Tips For a New Look This Season

Not everyone has vacation plans this summer.


Having a place to call home like the Villa Regale luxury apartments in North McAllen can entice many of us to embrace closed doors instead of open roads. Sometimes not going anywhere is the easiest path to getting away and relaxing.


Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t be active and bring a little bit of summer into your home.


Doing a some summer decorating can be just the thing to bring some new energy and help you enjoy the season.


A Few Starting Tips


As with most things, the hardest part is usually deciding where to begin. You can find countless articles, magazines, videos, and TV channels dedicated to interior decorating.


That can be a fun or daunting tasks depending on what you style of decor you want to go with. But before you start any of your research, these useful tips can help you make a general mental sketch on what direction to take your vibrant new apartment.


Colors: The Brighter the Better


Summer is all about color. Blue skies, green grass, dazzling fireworks, and boldly-colored birds and butterflies.


Alliteration aside, the warmer and darker shades that work for winter and early spring just won’t shout ”Summer!” whenever you open your front door.


That doesn’t mean you have to paint the walls a screaming neon orange; you’re going for summer, not sherbet. Instead, start small. Switch out picture frames, paintings, and other items hanging on the wall.


Also, anything sitting on top of a surface can be substituted. Change out a neutral lampshade or vase with one that adds a little pop.


The textiles in your home are some of the most visible elements of your design and some of the easiest to re-work. Curtains, pillow covers, and tabletop covers and decorations are all simple switches.


Keep them out for as long as you like and swap them out whenever the season, or your vision, change again.

 
 Flowers, Flowers, and More Flowers!

This might sound like overkill, but real freshly-picked flowers scream summer like nothing else can (well...maybe except for hotdogs and hamburgers).


The great thing about flowers is that they are everywhere, whether you find and pick them yourself or buy them at your local grocers.


If you are looking for the freshest look possible, it is best to pick them straight from the ground. There is nearly no end to the color combinations you can make and the lift it will bring to the look of your apartment will be undeniable.


There is also very little maintenance that goes into their upkeep. The level of care needed drops even more if you plan on constantly cycling your arrangements.


And if you’re looking for even more reasons to add some flowery decor around the house; a Rutgers University study found flowers in your home help to reduce depression, increase happiness and create a positive vibe.

Of course, some of you may not want to have to do any maintenance on flowers - it is summer after all. In that case, you can opt for fake plants including plastic, rubber, or whatever suits you.


These no-work greens will revitalize the energy in your home in an awesome way and have a great impact on visitors.


Don’t Forget the Rest of Mother Nature


Once you get things rolling with the flowers, take advantage of all the other things the Great Outdoors has to offer.


If you have access to items like seashells, they are a great option for decorative pieces. Arrange them alone or have them hold other items, potentially even more greens. Rocks, arrowheads, or petrified wood; feel free to get creative with the choices you make.


You can always change your mind. It is your home after all.


Another important point of emphasis should be the smell of your home environment. This isn’t a warning to safeguard against odors, but to pick the scents that embrace and reflect the summer season best.


Citrus, elemental, and tropical aromas all remind people of the outdoors and vacation locales. In particular, a focus on ocean-themed scents is a good place to begin building the perfect summer smell.
