Summer Home Should Reflect Difference

When designing a summer home, it is important to keep in a mind a few important factors.
First and foremost, when you come to the shore, you are on vacation, and your home should convey this. The most common mistake made is to decorate your second home similar to your original house.
Make sure that your shore house is a breath of fresh air by choosing furniture that is vibrant and colorful, such as fun sea shell or nautical prints or by using bright colors like yellow or peach. Ensure that you and your company wake up every morning to an experience that is upbeat and memorable.
Providing comfort and accommodation for your guests is also essential. Select beds like the “Air Dream Ultra” that has a remote control adjustable mattress to fit any body type and your guests will never want to leave.
Choose Full Size bunk beds that can fit up to four guests in one room, or purchase a sectional that fits more than your usual sofa. Select a pub table with self-storing leafs that can accommodate from four to eight diners and won’t take up extra space when it is not needed. You can always place additional “spot chairs” for extra places to sit.
Choose original pieces that set you apart from surrounding homes like a settee or a bar with bar stools that also increases seating as well as makes your place unique. Take your bedrooms from mild to wild and choose paint, dressers and comforters that carry out the mood you are trying already trying to set.
Wall art and decorative lamps can always dress up any room that needs a little touch of excitement.
Remember all of these factors while decorating and you will deliver the ultimate vacation experience.
