season’s
vibesinside

Installations and weekly maintenance of vegetable gardens It’s summer and you want to spend more
for residences and businesses in the Lehigh Valley. time outdoors in the great sunshine.
Deck Boxes • Raised Bed Boxes • Gardens Because that’s not always possible, you
can keep the season going inside with these
home design trends for summer 2017.

Bring wicker indoors. Homeowners don’t hesitate
to place wicker chairs and benches on their patios or
porches, Kimberly Petruska of Kimberly Petruska Design
in Emmaus says. They don’t think about bringing these
pieces inside for the summer. But that’s another way to
say “celebrate summer.” The same goes for wrought iron,
Petruska says. There’s no reason why you can’t bring that
wrought iron table up from the basement for the season.

VFuEllGCiGrIcElSe Go pink. Come summer, you want to be surrounded
by home goods that are vibrant and bold, says Petruska.
Pink is a bright, happy color and one that says “fresh,”
says Quentin Eshleman of Beautiful Home in Emmaus.
You may not want to paint your walls pink, but you
could add pink pillows and throws to your family room,
Eshelman says. And you could add some summer pink
to your kitchen with pink cloth napkins and placemats.
