Summer means reading by the pool, dinner al fresco and trips to the beach. The days are longer which means you have more time to do things outside. We love this time of year. If you’re a fan of the season and want to incorporate it into your home, you can! Picture natural textures, vibrant colors, shiny accents and greenery. We’re sharing the top summer design trends this year and how you can add warmth to your home.
This kind of decorating style is inspired by a free-spirited lifestyle, ambient lighting, and earthy colors like browns, greens and grays. However, it also incorporates bright orange and blues – in fact, combining the earthy and brighter tones creates this “boho chic” vibe. For furniture, consider leather, wood or woven finishes. Macramé throw pillows or wall hangings can help complete this look.
You’ve seen us write about bringing the outdoors into your home in many of our blogs. Plants are one of the simplest ways to bring life and light into any space! You can start with one that is easy to manage. If you really don’t think you can keep a plant alive, there are a lot of beautiful artificial plants that will stay green forever!
Incorporating metals may seem like a popular trend, but it’s really making a way into becoming a classic. Start small and add a brass light fixture, mirror or cabinet handles. The key to metals (like most décor trends) is balance and to not overdo it. Keep in mind combinations like shiny and matte, or dark and light when you are picking out your new metallic home accents.
Summer is the perfect time to add a little vibrancy to your home. You can go the subtle route with blue or navy, or take a risk with yellows or reds. Color can be added in the form of a new furniture piece or work of art. If you’re feeling especially bold, find an ultraviolet piece that can be homage to the Pantone color of the year, ultraviolet.
