Rooms: 10 Keys to Refresh Your Summer Boudoir for the new season - There is so much to love about the Great British summer: a green, an abundance of fragrant flowers, long evenings light and, hopefully, a radiant sun. When summer finally arrives, we Brits embrace warmer weather like no other - no sooner has the sun come out that the rockers are on. And just as we dress appropriate seasonal adjustments, our interiors can also benefit from small updates that are conducive to warmer nights and bright mornings.

Making the most of natural light
long summer evenings are the perfect time to sit in a comfortable chair and enjoy the last of the daylight. Create a seating area in your room near a window - overlooking the garden, if you are as lucky as the owners of this well positioned room - where you can curl up with a book or a glass of wine before bed and enjoy the evening breeze.

Block Out early rays morning
while persistent evening rays are always welcome, not everyone likes to wake up to the sight of sunlight streaming through the light, gauzy curtains .

They do a great job of keeping the light out and in a light fabric like this, do not look at all dark or heavy. You can wake up when you decide, not when the sun says it's time to rise and shine.

Boost your color palette
If your room, strong dark colors that are not easy to change - on a wall or furniture, for example - do not fear: a summer room could just cushions away. Dress the bed with white sheets, then add bright colors to spots with upholstery for a light and airy room. Well placed mirrors are also a great trick to maximize the light in a room.
