Janis Elspas’s go-to approach to a summer home refresh is all about simple, family-friendly updates that make your space feel lighter, brighter, and more fun to live in.

Here is a concise guide inspired by Janis’s content:

  1. Start with a quick “spring-into-summer” clean: clear surfaces, donate extras, and do one room at a time so it feels doable
  2. Focus on high-impact areas first: entryway, living room, kitchen, patio or balcony
  3. Swap in summer textures and colors: lighter throws, bright pillows, fresh towels, airy curtains
  4. Refresh the patio/outdoor space: add comfy seating, outdoor rugs, lanterns or string lights, and small décor that invites you outside more
  5. Use deals and seasonal sales (like Wayfair’s Way Day) to upgrade 1–2 key pieces instead of redoing everything
  6. Get kids involved with simple “helping” tasks so maintaining the refresh feels fun, not like a chore
