With summer just around the corner, now is a good time to start preparing your Scotia, NY home for summer holidays. Here are a few ways you can make your home the welcoming and pleasing environment family and friends will love. 

Renovate Interior Decor

Say hello to summer with simple renovations to your interior decor. Pack up heavy rugs, drapes, and blankets and replace with lighter and brighter accessories that create a more spacious living environment. Colorful pillows, lightweight area rugs, and fresh-cut flowers will help create a warm and cozy atmosphere to make your guests feel at home.

Cool It Down   

Have your AC maintained in advance to enjoy a cool interior environment all summer long. Combine your AC with ceiling fans to stay cool and comfortable at reduced energy costs.

Let Light In  

Summer is a good time to open your home to the great outdoors by letting in more natural light. You can start by washing your windows inside and out. Clean windows are sure to contribute to a brighter home environment. Next, replace heavy drapes with sheer curtains that don’t obstruct sunlight. Clean windows and sheer curtains also allow you to enjoy beautiful vistas of natural landscaping outdoors.

Ready Your Patio

Ready your patio to make it an entertainment hotspot this summer. Depending on your setup, you may want to upgrade patio furniture, change your lighting, paint your deck or invest in trendy accessories that will make your patio the talk of the town. A classy and comfortable patio will make summer parties and BBQ’s that much more enjoyable for everyone.
