The short lived summer season is here. The Hazelview Properties team wants to help you bring summer into your apartment with a few simple decorating tips to let the sunshine in. With just a little bit of time and not much money, you can make your Richmond Hill apartment feel like a summer vacation destination.
Show your stripes
Nothing says summer like the sea. Give your dining area a maritime feel by simply decorating with stripes. With a little painter’s tape and fabric paint you can add them to a canvas drop cloth to make a summertime tablecloth or paint your stripes onto plain cushion covers to make seat cushions fit for a sea captain. You can find fabric paint at Walmart, 1070 Major Mackenzie Drive East, Richmond Hill -- a 5 minute drive from Cedar Avenue Apartments, 274-278 Cedar Ave.
Succulent sea shells
Why stop at stripes? Make your home feel even more like a seaside summer-rental with some succulents in a large sea shell. Succulents require very little maintenance, so you won’t be adding much to your chore load with this simple tip.
Look at the map
Summer and adventure go hand in hand. You can add an adventurous touch to any room by simply framing a map. The map can be of a favourite summer vacation spot, somewhere you wish to explore one day, or anywhere else you like the look of.
Lighten up and go green
You want to go for a light and breezy feel, so roll up the heavy carpets and opt for a bare floor or a lighter rug with a floral or colourful print. Add splashes of colour, especially greens for a light fresh feel.
