Summer’s here, relax and rewind

Planters, carpets, cushions and wooden furniture in modern designs enhance the beauty and functionality of your interiors

The pandemic made us more home-proud than we ever were. Till then, home was just home; the pandemic made it haven and hearth.

We may seem to finally be getting a handle on COVID-19, but there are some things that have changed forever. Staying in is now something we all look forward to, which is why there has been a surge in the number of people who have opted to redo their homes. If you’re spending more time, shouldn’t it be the best time you can have, is the idea.

Lockdowns and social distancing have shown us the pitfalls of unhealthy living, and homes are reflecting this change by showcasing sustainability and healthy lifestyles.

“Lifestyles have changed due to the pandemic, and everyone has understood why it is crucial to have a vibrant ambience. The vibe of the house significantly affects people’s moods, so it’s important to create a delightful one while keeping the look minimalistic,” says Raghunandan Saraf, Founder and CEO, Saraf Furniture, an online home décor solutions provider.

As we firmly step into summer, here are some decor ideas that will keep your home looking its best.

Opt for sustainable decor

The benefits and importance of sustainable living are well known, but people tend to think they need to put in extra effort, time, and money to have a sustainable lifestyle. “Such people need to know that adopting sustainable choices is as simple as purchasing any other product. One can replace plastic dustbins with enticing bamboo ones; replacing your dustbins can be a great start towards adopting sustainable choices,” Saraf says.
