Florida summers are beautiful—but let’s be honest, they can be hot! Whether you’re preparing your home to sell or just want a more relaxing space to enjoy, the way you decorate your home can make a big difference in how cool and comfortable it feels.
Here are a few simple but powerful décor tips to help you keep your cool—both literally and mentally:
🌿 Lighten Up Your Colors
Cool tones like soft blues, pale greens, and neutral whites reflect light and create a fresh, airy feel. Swapping out dark throw pillows or rugs for lighter shades instantly brightens a space and makes it feel cooler.
🪟 Let the Breeze In
Heavy drapes can trap heat. Opt for sheer curtains or light, linen panels that allow natural light in while still offering privacy. Bonus: they make your space feel more open and relaxing!
🪴 Bring in the Greens
Indoor plants do more than just look pretty—they naturally purify the air and add a calm, tropical vibe to any room. Snake plants, pothos, and palms are low-maintenance and love Florida’s climate.
💡 Use Soft Lighting
Switch out harsh overhead lights for warm, soft lamps or LED candles. The glow creates a cozy atmosphere without adding unnecessary heat.
🛋️ Declutter Your Space
A clutter-free home feels cooler and more peaceful. Clear off surfaces, donate unused items, and go for a minimalist look that lets your home breathe.
🌬️ Add Light Fabrics
Change out heavy blankets, velvet cushions, and thick bedding for breathable cottons and linens. These fabrics stay cool to the touch and give your home a relaxed, resort-like feel.
Your Home Should Be Your Sanctuary
Whether you’re staging to sell or just refreshing your space, these small changes can make a big difference. A cool, calming home not only feels great—but makes a beautiful impression on buyers, too!
