Bring the joy of sunny weather into your space with these simple design swaps

When you think of a home that embodies that easy, breezy summer feeling, what comes to mind? Double French doors swung open to reveal a lush backyard. Coastal-inspired colour palettes. Fresh blooms and fresh fruits piled high on the kitchen counter. All things that define the set of a Nancy Meyers movie. But, most of us don’t have a house by the sea in Rhode Island or an unlimited budget to upgrade our spaces every season.

Christi Rivard, principal interior designer of Victoria-based interior design studio Bidgood, has some easy summer decorating ideas. Even if you’re miles away from the nearest beach, these simple swaps will help you get into that summer state of mind.
