With summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to give your Maryland home a refreshing makeover. From creating green outdoor retreats to spicing up your interiors with the hues of summer, Redefined Living has plenty of inspiring renovation ideas to help you make the most of the sunny season! So, get ready to kick back and relax – we’re going vacation mode.
Outdoor Oasis
Take advantage of Maryland’s beautiful summer balminess by transforming your outdoor space into an inviting oasis. Consider adding a deck, patio, or screened-in porch where you can relax and entertain guests while enjoying the fresh air. Not to fret: we’ve got you covered for outdoor kitchen inspiration! Add comfortable outdoor furniture, a dining area, and perhaps even a fire pit or outdoor kitchen to create the ultimate summer hangout spot. Need to redo that deck? Make sure to check out our tip five tips for a successful deck renovation.
Cool Comfort
Let’s face it: the south is known for its heat. Ensure your home stays cool and comfortable all season long with an upgraded air conditioning system and new ceiling fans. Energy-efficient windows and insulation can also help keep your home cool while critically reducing energy costs. If you need more ways to keep your home breezy and cool, consider opening up your home with our open concept kitchen design tips.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow
Part of the joy of the summertime is the ability to comfortably pop in and outside as necessary. That’s why we suggest blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor with transitional design elements. Install sliding glass doors or large windows that open onto your outdoor space. With this fairly simple project, you can powerfully enliven the connectivity between your indoor and outdoor areas. Enhance the flow with our summer home decor ideas.
Splash of Color
Summer: the bright red of farm-fresh tomatoes, the deep yellow of corn in its stalk, the green-speckled blue of the inviting ocean. Why not infuse your home with the vibrant hues of summer to herald this cheerful time of year? Artwork and accessories inspired by the season’s palette will easily shake off the snowflakes and welcome in summer warmth. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colors and patterns to create a lively and inviting space. Our DIY summer home renovation ideas are endless — so dive right in!
Greenery Galore
Let the earth (and our homes!) rejoice in summer’s warm embrace. Bring the beauty of nature indoors by bringing greenery into your home decor. Plants add a touch of freshness and vitality to your space, and they purify the air – Mother Nature really does provide! We’ve covered the best home plants to add some extra positivity to any space. Don’t believe you’re blessed with a green thumb? Not to worry. Choose low-maintenance houseplants like succulents or ferns that thrive in Maryland’s climate and require minimal care.
This summer at Redefined Living, we’re busy with some exciting renovation projects –– but don’t get us wrong, we’re making some time to enjoy the summer heat. Whether you’re hosting backyard barbecues, lounging in the sun, or simply enjoying the long summer days with family and friends, we hope our makeover ideas will help you make the most of the sunny season in your Maryland home. What will you be working on this summer?
