Summer is the perfect opportunity to harness new design trends and reinvigorate your home. This sunny season we are seeing a trend towards relaxed environments, statement pieces and bringing nature into the home.
We have compiled the top 5 summer design trends to inspire your interiors for the new year!
Statement Rugs
Rugs are a fantastic foundation from which to style a room but there’s no need for them to blend in! This summer select a bold rug to simply and effectively transform your room.
A statement rug can add personality, brightness and charm. Whether it’s a modern rug or different style, you can mix trends here by incorporating summer colours such as citrus greens and yellows, aqua blue and vibrant coral in your rug choices.
Adventurous tribal, geometric and abstract patterns make the functional rug a piece of art that takes a space to the next level.
Foliage
Introducing the beauty of nature into your home is one of our favourite summer design trends. Indoor plants are not only aesthetically pleasing, they also have several health benefits such as reducing carbon dioxide levels, increasing humidity and reducing airborne dust!
Our favourite indoor plants to add to your home this summer are Aloe Vera (amazing for sunburn!) and Devils Ivy (beautiful and thrives in direct sunlight).
If you’d love to embrace this trend but aren’t ready to make to commitment to a plant family, we recommend introducing bold leaf patterns in wallpaper, pillows or throws.
Gold
Shimmering metallics are a trend that never falters. This summer rose gold is out and true gold is the metal of choice.
Gold accents are sophisticated, fresh, and add a touch of luxury to a space. They perfectly capture the warm light of summer and complement wooden, natural pieces.
Lavish mirrors, lamps, vases and sideboards contrast beautifully against teal, emerald and black. High contrast luxury.
Embellishments
Embellishments such as macramé, tassels and tufting add a bohemian handmade charm. This is a fantastic trend to try if you’re wanting to create a more relaxed vibe in your home for summer.
Macramé wall hangings are a beautiful way to dress up a drab wall and look particularly striking when contrasted against a darker hue. Whereas fringed pillows and tassel throws introduce a laid-back and comfortable feel. Try pairing these embellishments with bold colours and geometric patterns to create a truly global-inspired look.
Ombre
Ombre means ‘to shade’. It’s a soft design trend that involves subtle graduation of colour from light to dark or vice versa. The watercolour-like melding of colour brings a sense of calm and beauty to a space.
You can harness the ombre trend in a bold way by using ombre wallpaper or statement artworks. This makes the trend a real focal point.
However, if you want to take a lighter approach, ombre works great as an accent in bedding, pillows, quilt, rugs and even lampshades.
