Simply repositioning furniture could help to give a space a seasonal lift.
A sofa and other lounge room furniture could be manipulated to make any space fit for summer.
According to Snipps News, one way to give a "refreshing, new feeling" to a room is to move the sofa into a new position.
"Float the sofa in the centre of the room instead of having it hug the wall. Put it on an angle, just for the summer. Get creative," the online publication urges.
Other tips include taking coal and ashes out of the fireplace - as they are unlikely to be required during the hottest months - and replacing them with summery ferns.
Of course, one tactic could be to invest in brand new lounge room furniture, as a colourful sofa or exotic table are items that could liven up any home.
But the news source assures there is much to be gained through simply moving pieces that are already in place.
Terrysfabrics.co.uk writer Helen Green recently suggested a tropical colour scheme may also be a good idea for the summer season.
