Revamp your home with summer-ready renovations. As the sunny days stretch longer, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home with elegant renovations that embrace the essence of summer. At Bradburn Group of Companies, we specialize in transforming spaces into stylish sanctuaries that exude both comfort and sophistication. Here’s how you can revamp your home to enjoy endless summer bliss.

Kitchen: The Heart of Cool Elegance

The kitchen is a central hub, and during summer, it can be a source of heat. Transform your kitchen into a cool and stylish space by opting for energy-efficient appliances that reduce both energy consumption and heat output, keeping your kitchen cooler. Choosing lighter shades of stone for your countertops can help reflect heat and brighten up the space, creating a fresh and airy feel. Use reflective materials for your backsplash to enhance the sense of space, and incorporate strategic lighting solutions that add a touch of elegance while maintaining a cool atmosphere.

Living Room: Breezy and Inviting

The living room should be a haven of relaxation and comfort. Redesign your living space to an open floor plan, which facilitates better air circulation and creates a breezier environment. Installing large, energy-efficient windows that maximize natural light while promoting ventilation ensures your living room remains light and comfortable. Additionally, using soothing shades like soft greens, cool blues, and earthy neutrals can enhance the cooling effect and create a tranquil ambiance.

Dining Area: Elegant and Functional

Transform your dining area into a stylish space perfect for summer gatherings by choosing dining tables and chairs in lighter hues to reflect heat and brighten up the space. Incorporate light fabrics and minimalistic décor to create an open and inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for entertaining.

Staircase: A Focal Point of Freshness

Your staircase can be more than just a functional element; it can be a striking focal point in your home. Using light colours for your staircase can reflect heat and add a touch of elegance. Consider materials like glass or polished metal for balusters to create a modern and cool aesthetic.

Bathroom: A Spa-Like Sanctuary

Upgrade your bathroom to a serene escape by installing low-flow showerheads and faucets, which reduce water usage and room temperature. Choose tiles like ceramic or marble in light shades that stay cool underfoot and reflect heat. Opt for soft greens, cool blues, or earthy neutrals to create a calming, spa-like environment.

Bedrooms: Serene and Cool

Your bedroom should be a restful retreat, especially during the summer. Use breathable fabrics like cotton or linen for your bedding to stay cool during warm nights, and install ceiling fans to enhance air circulation and maintain a comfortable temperature. Light-coloured, sheer curtains allow natural light while keeping the room cool.

Basement: Your Cool Summer Retreat

Basements naturally stay cooler and can be transformed into a perfect summer retreat. Whether creating a cozy home theatre or a refreshing gym space to enjoy during the hot months, using moisture-resistant materials ensures a fresh and dry environment in your basement. Additionally, installing adequate ventilation systems maintains a comfortable atmosphere.

But why stop at just a cool retreat? With the right guidance, your basement can also become a profitable side hustle.
