Now that summer is here, your apartment might need a bit of a makeover. A home that was equipped for the fall and winter might not do so well once the weather begins to heat up. Here are a few tips for “summer-izing” your apartment his June.

Thinner curtains: replace your heavy and dark toned drapes with something thinner and more colorful. Thin curtains will let those late night summer breezes right into your apartment and help cool everyone off.

Light bedding: your bedding is another area that needs to be switched out during the summer. Those heavy and thick blankets will make you miserable once the weather gets bad, so buy some thin blankets now.

More mirrors: add a few extra mirrors in your bedroom or living room will help capture that extra summer daylight and brighten up a dark space with ease. The mirrors will also add a new look to your décor.
