Summer is already on the porch and with the coming of this warm and pleasing season we steadily refresh our wardrobes. But let’s not forget about our homes! Its decorative “dresses” also deserve a nice change. And our selection of ideas will help you choose the best option!

2. Unusual couch pillow covers
One of the easiest and quickest ways to refresh your interior is to replace the covers on your couch pillows. This summer designers set their choice upon trendy novelties decorated using traditional crafts, such as embroidery, laces or macramé.
