Transform Your Home Into a Summer Retreat

It’s hard to believe mid-August is already upon us. School is back in session, and with September drawing near, so is the end of summer. Not ready for the summer to end? We’ve got you covered. Here are 3 ways to transform your home into a summer retreat to last throughout the year.

Refreshing Green Accents

Green is the vivid color of nature. It represents energy, growth, and renewal. Not sure about painting your walls shades of lime or kelly green? Try decorating with subtle accents, like we did in this living room at Parc at Chastain. From the throw pillows to the vases and artwork on the walls, it comes together to create one bright, refreshing room.

Calming Shades of Blue

Blue is a very soothing color. It symbolizes wisdom, trust, and intelligence. Using shades of blue within your new home can help you create a calming environment. For example, we used an aquamarine blue palette to decorate the master bedroom of our model home at Cosmopolitan in Buckhead. The pillows, duvet, curtains, and wall decor come together to add a tranquil splash of color that helps brighten up the room.

Eye-catching Greenery

Another way to keep the summer vibes alive in your home throughout the year is by adding some eye-catching greenery. From succulents and cacti to peace lilies and orchids, there is a wide variety of plants you can utilize. They can be used as a centerpiece on your coffee table or dining room table. If you need a vibrant muse, you could use them to add a burst of color to your office, like the one below from our model home at Long Island Parc.

How Will You Transform Your New Home?

With the right home decor you can keep the spirit of summer alive in your home throughout the entire year.
