Design trends change almost constantly, so it’s perfectly understandable if you’re not up-to-date on the latest developments in home decor. This Summer has brought about a range of design trends, many of which can be implemented without too much effort. Even though the Summer is halfway through, there’s plenty of time to study up on your favorite Summer design trends and adopt them for your own home. Here are a few:
Tonal Palettes
The design world is starting to abandon patterns, at least in the quantity they used to be implemented, and is starting to focus on solid colors. Using textured materials will allow for a degree of creativity without exhausting your eyes, and you can start using them quickly by swapping out patterned curtains or throw pillows (while staying in the same color family).
White Wall, Tertiary-Colored Furniture
An increasingly common combination in design is white walls paired with bold-shaped furniture in tertiary colors. This look can be brought together by adding metallic accents, and consider mixing brass, chrome or copper for a clean and breezy effect.
Playful Statement Sculptures
Implementing a statement sculpture during the Summer is ideal, since it evokes a whimsical, carefree attitude. Celebrate your personality and create summer vibes all year long by choosing a piece with spunk, and don’t be afraid of picking the wrong one- you can always return it and check out another!
Painted Concrete Tiles
Available at a variety of stores to accommodate a range of budgets, painted concrete tiles with intricate patterns are becoming more popular. These tiles work well in traditional and modern styles, and they’re best implemented in a kitchen or frequently used bathroom for flooring or a backsplash.
Buffalo Check Patterns
Buffalo check patterns are classic, making it easier to splurge on a fabulous fabric, and they’re being developed in greater varieties of color as time goes on. Consider trying out the trend in your home on a smaller scale before committing to something bigger, like a chair or bench, and a buffalo check in blue and white can serve well for a nautical feel if your home has coastal undertones.
