Give your media room a summer refresh with American Legend Homes

Summer is here! That means that lots of indoor time during the VERY hot months of July and August. Refreshing your media room, where you’ll be spending lots of time in the cool AC, will help you enjoy the room even more. Here are a few media room refreshers from our designers at American Legend:

Embrace a floral motif: Incorporating floral décor to your home can give it a cool and fresh look. Add floral with some new throw pillows, wall art and throw rugs. Use this fresh floral look for inspiration.

Replenish the bar: If your media room gets used by parents on date nights or the guys on game nights, it’s time to reimagine the bar. Find a sleek bar cart (we love this one; it will fit in any room!) and add the makings for your favorite summer cocktails. 

Add summer scents: Candles aren’t just for winter. Refresh your candle collection with summer scents. Look for candles that have beachy, floral, fresh cotton and citrus aromas.

Re-do your coffee table: Bring more of the movies to your media room. Add some coffee table books that feature TV and movie classics. They fit with the entertainment theme and look like art! Here is a list of our favorites.

Bring nature inside: Plants (real or artificial) are a creative and easy way to freshen up a space. Plants bring a sense of freshness and vibrancy to a room. And placing them in colorful planters or summery baskets is a perfect way to bring summer indoors. We LOVE these!

Our media rooms, as you can see here, offer the perfect palate for a number of design options. And you can see from this easy list that you don’t need a complete overhaul to refresh a room. Enjoy these summer décor tips and let us know what time the movie starts…and when the summer cocktails are served!
