With summer approaching, it's the perfect time to refresh your space at The Collins for the warm weather. Embrace the season with these easy and stylish tips to make your apartment summer-ready.

Storing Items

First, store away any winter items that take up space and make your home feel heavy. Pack away thick blankets, heavy curtains, and any winter decor. Use under-bed storage or clear plastic bins to keep everything organized and out of sight. This will create a lighter, more open feel in your apartment.

Bringing Out Summer Essentials

Next, bring out your summer essentials. Swap out your heavy bedding for lighter linens or cotton sheets. Choose bright, cheerful colors that reflect the season. Replace dark throw pillows with ones in light, vibrant hues. Adding fresh flowers or greenery can also instantly brighten up your space. Consider sheer curtains to let in more natural light and keep your apartment feeling airy.

Shop Local

Finally, support local businesses while enhancing your home. Visit nearby markets and shops for unique summer decor items. Look for locally made candles, handmade pottery, or artisan wall art to give your apartment a personal touch. Buying local not only helps your community but also gives your home a distinct, curated feel.

Preparing your apartment for summer doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By storing away winter items, bringing out summer essentials, and shopping local, you can create a welcoming and stylish space perfect for enjoying the warm weather. Enjoy the season in a home that’s light, bright, and ready for summer fun.
