Decorating based on a theme

“Ask yourself what mood you want to create, and then picture a scenario that encapsulates that feeling. “ There is no better feeling than a perfect summer day on the lake - so why not try to capture that feeling inside your cottage as well? Bring in the colors of the lake with watery blues and shades of green reminiscent of the trees. Take a photograph of your lake and bring it with you when shopping for decor for inspiration. Keep your furniture casual and comfortable, bringing that relaxing lake vibe indoors. Whether it’s obvious like the oar in the photo or subtle with shades of blue, stick with a theme to create your perfect space.

Everything from balloons and strings of lights to flags and banners, paper plates, even floral bouquets will set the mood.
