Cool Summer Decorating

The decorations are all packed away and goodness its bare!! 

Well, Happy New Year and Happy New Look!  

Queensland summer decorating is all about creating cool, 

open spaces where the living is easy.  

Here are three summer themes.....

Gorgeous fresh summer colours to brighten up your home.

 Think fresh cool sorbet colours - pastel and watermelon pink, mint and lime green, pale blues and aquas, with a white background these soft colours look so refreshing on these HOT days.  Feature items in these block colours and create a quirky vintage feel.

Add that tropical feel to your home.

Or you could indulge in the TROPICANA look.  Always a favourite in Queensland, striking geometric brights, prints and patterns just look effortlessly stylish together.  Choose a few new throw cushions, textiles and accessories featuring these stunning patterns.  They will pop against a neutral background, injecting the essence of a tropical holiday into your space.

These graphic outdoor fabrics will enliven your alfresco area.

Vases in this seasons hottest colour - ORANGE!

Perhaps you may prefer the casual, yet stylish ambiance of the celebrated HAMPTON look.  Architecturally infused with classical elegance, Hampton's interiors owe much of their aura and relaxed luxury to the restrained use of colour and careful selection of fabrics, textiles, furniture and accessories.  Colour wise, this polished, but not formal look is quite simple with whites, off whites, pale neutrals, accents of pale green, duck egg blue, light grey or an accent of navy blue or black against an expanse of white brings white back into contrast.  

Accent colours to compliment the Hampton's palate.

The essence of Hampton's style - relaxed, chic and effortless

Classic Hampton's style

You will find plenty of inspiration and gorgeous pieces to achieve these looks at your favourite home decorator store - Miraje Home in Cleveland.
