Summer's the perfect time to inject a little pizzazz into your home. This kitchen from interior designer Phoebe Howard's new book, The Joy of Decorating, reminded us how easy it can be. Re-cover an old chair with an inexpensive, cheerful fabric, display quirky and colourful objects like flip-flops in shadow boxes or toss new patterned pillows on your sofa.

Get this look: Foto lamp, $45, Ikea. Ikat trellis fabric, $58/yd, Robert Allen Design. Keepsake boxes, $78, Pottery Barn.
