Go shopping buy some bright and colourful bed and table linens for the bedrooms it would be preferable if it were white as it is a universal colour and goes well with any type of wall or flooring. Acquire some beautiful indoor plants and go green and natural this summer. Wow! Theme has been decided it is definitely going to be Natural.
