Simply Stage Texas

Now that summer is here and the days are longer and brighter ☀️☀️☀️ we often feel motivated to update our homes and lighten up our interiors. There are so many beautiful colors when you think of summer... greens, blues, and golden tones are definitely the colors for this summer season.

If you've got the itch to make some changes in your home this summer, a redesign is the way to go. A designer (like me!) can help you achieve your dream room without all the stress that comes along with a home project. Are you ready to get started?

Just like a cold glass of lemonade hits the spot on a hot summer day, kicking my feet up and relaxing outdoors is the perfect way to spend the weekend. And that’s exactly how I’ll spend this Saturday... a summer read in my hand, sun hat on and sipping a cold drink.

Keep going, friends! Friday is just a few days away! How are your weekend plans shaping up? 🍹☀️😎

Lighting is an important feature in any interior space. When decorating, people usually focus on furniture, paint, art and accessories but light is sometimes an afterthought. Here are the top 3 reasons why lighting is an essential design element in homes.

1️⃣ Good lighting can set the mood. Lighting can light up a whole room and add a lot of brightness.

2️⃣ Light, when paired with color, can open up a space. If you have a light-colored space and add lighting, the room will feel much larger.

3️⃣ Light fixtures add more design elements. Depending on the light fixtures that you buy, you may be able to tie the room together. You can match colors and metals so that everything is more cohesive
