By Aya Aboshady

Whether you’re staying in Cairo or travelling to your summer home in Gouna or the North Coast this summer; redecorating your space and giving it a fancy yet cozy vibe with a very summery theme is always a much needed step for a better mood and a fresh feeling come summer. That’s why we brought ten different ideas and items we think you can feature in your home and use to redecorate your summery space!

WALL PAINTING

Wall paintings are always a great addition to any household. And for your summer home, aim for blue paintings that feature the sea. Trust us; just by taking a glance at them, you’ll immediately be in a better mood!

WOODEN BOOKSHELF

Spending the entire summer at your beach house? Perfect! Then you’ll have all the time in the world to lose yourself in a good book. So whether in Cairo, Gouna, the North Coast or anywhere in the world; building a wooden bookshelf to organize your book collection is a must! THREAD WALL HANGING

Threads are the new essential wall hangings in town! Thread wall hangings are usually handmade, and they often come in beautiful nude colors. They’re so pretty and would definitely make a great addition to your summer home.

VINTAGE VASE

A vintage piece is necessary if you want to achieve an overall chic style! And in that case, we would gladly recommend a pretty vintage vase to hold your flowers!

Who wouldn’t want their space to be full of greens? Indoor plants are certainly one of this year’s home décor trends. Having pretty plants in cute pots around the house is not only cheerful for the eyes, but a mood boosting addition as well!

BOHEMIAN TAPESTRY

Tapestries have been a home decorating trend for so long now! However, such pieces could never go out of style - especially if that style is bohemian. A colorful tapestry with a bohemian vibe is just the right fit for your summer home! Want your house to feel like summer? Then adding sea ornaments all around should be top priority. From little golden starfishes and seashells to seahorse figures; your house will shine with the playful summer vibes.

FANCY LAMP

There’s hardly ever any house that doesn’t have cute lamps scattered around here and there. That being said, to cozy up your summer home and make it look lavish at the same time, you definitely need to get your hands on a little elegant lamp, maybe moon-shaped?

COZY ARMCHAIR

No home is complete without a cozy elegant armchair that would set the vibe and act as both your comfort zone around the house as well as your little cozy reading nook!

GREEK STATUE

Statues are usually cool to have around the house! But Greek-themed ones are not only cool, they’re also really pretty, ornamental, and will make you feel like a Greek goddess staying in her castle, even if that castle is only your beach house.
