To feel more balanced and in tune with your surroundings, one of the first things you can do is freshen up your space for summer.
This year’s summer interior design trends are sure to keep your space fresh and exciting. From blending the boundaries with the outdoors to incorporating more cool colours and tropical elements, we can help. Keep reading for a quick guide with simple tips you can implement to start transforming your space today.
Summer Interior: Blending Indoor with Outdoor
Summer is about good weather and getting outside when possible. So, it makes sense that one of this year’s hottest trends is emblematic of that. Design experts agree that this season, it’s all about blending your indoor and outdoor space. One of the easiest ways to do that is by incorporating items that can easily transition into both.
If you want to incorporate this trend in your own home, think about the interior spaces that border your exterior ones. Do you have a living room with a sliding door that leads to a deck? That might be your sweet spot. Regardless of your home layout, though, there are dozens of items and tricks to try and bring the summer to your space.
Outdoor rugs are a great solution for spaces that function as a transition from outdoor to indoor space. If you have a space that isn’t being used or isn’t decorated, an outdoor rug might be just what you need. With so many rugs to choose from, though, you’ll want to consider the surrounding space. Pick out a pattern if you’re looking for something more unique and maximalist. Looking for something neutral? Stick with our grey and beige outdoor rugs for those minimalistic vibes.
Artificial plants are also a great middle-ground for bringing the outside in. Not only do they look as good as real ones, but there’ll be no need to worry about keeping them alive. A mini palm tree by the door to the back garden can make all the difference, too. Artificial bamboo trees also make a great addition to any interior space calling for nature.
Fresh Blues and Greens
Another huge summer interior tip: use fresh cool tones like blue and green. You can use the vagueness to your advantage here are really pick and choose what suits your taste the most. The Osborne Velvet Footstool Cube in light blue is perfect for those who like a sleek, modern touch to their home décor. This contemporary cube boasts a soft velvet you won’t be able to wait to feel. Additionally, it adds a bit of sophistication to your space, wherever you end up putting it. Lounging around in the summer months sounds a lot like having your feet up. So it makes sense to implement this trend somewhere that can be useful to you and your guests.
Another option to enhance your interior space is with seating, especially with seating that looks decorative in itself. The Vintage Style Metal Adjustable Tractor Seat Bar Stool in green works as an accessory to accentuate a space, or to actually be used for its purpose. This bar stool even works as a backup for outdoor seating if you don’t have a lot of space to store seats for both. This versatile piece can work with any kind of décor, so this one is sure to fit in whether your interior space is modern or traditional.
Tropical Patterns and Prints
Palm trees are always a fun reminder of summer and vacation vibes, and tropical patterns are top of mind for many trend experts this year. There are plenty of ways to incorporate tropical elements into your interior design choices. When it comes to specific patterns like these, try to use items that can be easily swapped out as the season’s change. This will be the easiest way to keep your rooms feeling fresh and new without exhausting yourself in the process.
If you want to get any room ready for relaxation, there’s no better time to switch out some simple elements. This can be like your sofa pillows, throw etc. Printed pillows are becoming more and more popular lately, with fabric options varying all over the design spectrum. When it comes to 2022 summer trends, you can hit two style points at once with this palm tree velvet pillow in beautiful bright teal. Not only will you brighten up the room with a gorgeous shade of teal, but you’ll get that element of the tropics in a high-class design.
