Market Lofts on Third is an active and lively living space perfect for the warmer season. Summer is approaching. What better way to welcome Birmingham, Alabama’s changing weather than by sprucing up your home for the summer? Changing small things around your home can give a new summer vibe to your lifestyle.

Storing Winter and Spring Items

As the seasons shift, so should your home’s interiors. Begin by tucking away those heavy winter blankets, coats, and decor. Use under-bed storage boxes or closet organizers to maximize space — so your winter gear is securely packed away. This clears up much-needed room and helps declutter your space, making it airy and fresh for the summer months ahead.

Bringing Out Summer Essentials

Swap out those thick, dark fabrics for light, breezy ones. Think sheer curtains that let in the summer sun and light cotton bed linens for a comfortable night’s sleep. Add pops of color with cushion covers, vases, or even a statement piece of artwork that reflects the vibrant energy of summer. Portable, rechargeable LED lights can help create a cozy balcony or reading nook without the need to drill into walls.

Shop Local

Birmingham is bursting with local markets and stores where you can find unique summer essentials for your apartment. Pepper Place Market offers locally made items and handcrafted goods. Here you’ll find colorful indoor plants and flowers that will brighten your room for summer. Buying from local people is a good way of embracing the community lifestyle.

Embracing Community Living

Preparing your home for summer is about making a warm and enjoyable space. With a few simple changes and support from local Birmingham businesses, your apartment can become a summer haven that promotes relaxation and community living. So get creative and let the summer vibes in.
