With a new season comes new interior trends and we couldn't be more excited if we tried!
From bohemian accessories to natural elements, breezy fabrics to muted shades, there are plenty of summer elements that you can embrace in your home for a stylish scheme, all of which can be easily incorporated into your year-round décor.
Read on as we inspire your interiors this summer, by introducing you to this season’s most stylish trends for your home.
1. Boho
Bohemian design is an interior trend long associated with summer. It brings together colours, textures, patterns, plants and free-spirited accessorising in a way that offers a relaxed yet unique aesthetic in any home.
Organic materials and natural elements such as rattan, cane and wicker form a big part of the boho décor making any space feel airy and light.
Accessorising with artisanal pieces, ceramics and greenery will help to bring the outdoors in, reflecting the summer season within your interiors.
The beauty of boho style décor is that there are no rules, so layering patterns, mixing colours, combining textures and incorporating embellishments are key to creating a fun, boho vibe within your home.
2. Summer florals & greenery
Floral decor is timeless which is why the summer season is the perfect time to incorporate this interior trend into your home. Experimenting with blooms, greenery and floral patterns captures the essence of nature in a subtle way. These elements can have a positive effect on our wellbeing and reduce stress levels because of our desire to be closer to nature.
You can surround yourself with the beauty of nature in your own home by experimenting with botanical designs, all of which offer a huge variety of colours, styles and materials to choose from. From a traditional, delicate bloom feature wall, to a bright and modern floral rug, the possibilities of incorporating summer florals and greenery within your interiors are endless.
3. Organic textures & natural finishes
There are various textures and finishes that are associated with summer. From trips to the beach, picnics in the park and cooling off in the sea, there are so many different elements that form your surroundings, so why not take inspiration from these and layer your home with organic textures and natural finishes too?
Firstly, natural daylight can brighten any room, so using breezy fabrics and mirrored accessories will automatically make any space feel more open, reminding us of the great outdoors we all love in the summer season. You can also bring a breath of fresh air into your home by combining many of nature's diverse elements from artisan crafted furniture to cotton throws, knitted rugs to linen curtains. These organic textures and natural finishes help to create a calming and sustainable interior that exudes natural character.
4. Bring the outdoors in
One of the consistent themes we can see emerging is the use of natural materials, florals and colours inspired by nature. All of which point to the overarching trend of the summer - bringing the outdoors in.
To really bring the outdoors in this season decorate with tall house plants such as a monstera or snake plant. Real or faux, whichever is easiest as both will help you to achieve that outdoorsy feel. No matter the season, plants will never go out of style so these new additions to your home can take you through the seasons with a little love and attention!
5. Cottagecore
The cottagecore aesthetic is ‘a romanticised interpretation of rural life’. Think idyllic country life with cosy interiors such as traditional-style fabrics, floral covered prints and ruched materials, a whimsical charm sculpted by the use of furniture pieces, and decorative accents.
Embodying the sweet simplicity of the rural countryside, the cottagecore trend is the perfect style for quaint spaces such as conservatories, garden rooms or orangeries. The use of colour in the form of neutral or pastel colour palettes, homely patterns and cosy textiles are essential to this interior style, creating a relaxing, homely space that brings country vibes indoors. The perfect aesthetic to sit back and relax in while enjoying a cup of tea, watching the world go by.
6. Tropical twist
Creating an interior with a tropical twist within a conservatory, garden room or orangery enables you to add a bit of summer indoors whilst making it an extension of the greenery of your garden.
The tropical interior style will often incorporate contrasting light walls against textural furniture such as rattan, a sustainable and versatile material which is a great option to keep the look relaxed and comfortable whilst reminiscent of a summer holiday vibe. Often associated with exuberance and joy, this trend can be accessorised with tropical wall hangings, botanical prints, and floral fabrics in a variety of shades and dependent on your personal style, you can keep the colour palette as muted or flamboyant as you like, to create a natural indoor setting. No tropical interior would be complete without greenery so be sure to add plenty of leafy plants to complete the eclectic and colourful feel of this style.
