Thinking of sprucing up your home this summer? This season there are a tonne of great trends emerging for you to be inspired by. So here are some fantastic ideas to ensure that you stay on trend and keep that warm summery feeling in your home for a long time to come.
1. Tropical heat
Our first major design trend will give your home a tropical feel, and is especially good for those who aren’t going on holiday this year. Essentially, with this look you can bring a Caribbean island to you! What this entails is bright colours and strong patterns. Birds and floral designs work perfectly in line with this theme.
2. Flowing colours
2. Flowing colours
As opposed to last year’s ombre / dip dye stylings, this summer we’ll see a more defined colour flow in different tones of the same colour. This works well for both furniture and walls; but not at the same time. If you’re walls are striped with colour then add some plain white furniture. Likewise, if your furniture takes advantage of this look then keep the walls white.
3. Bright sparks

This trend is painfully cool and contemporary. It involves the use of simple geometric shapes in very bright colours. This tendency towards geometry has been popular for a while but this season we will find that the shapes are even sharper and more angular.
4. Home-made

We will also see a hint of Eastern Europe entering our homes this Summer giving a more DIY/home-made and nostalgic feel. This will involve knitted fabrics, strong patterns, clashing designs and repurposed items.
5. Glittering gold

As far as colour is concerned, gold will be very much in this season. Obviously, this will give your home a sense of luxury and glamour. What’s particularly nice about this trend is that you can decide how you want to play it. The look can be either classic or very contemporary.
Other trends this season that are worth mentioning take their inspiration from abstract paintings from the 50’s, insects and Moroccan getaways. If you’ve not got the time to redecorate your place, one way to spruce up your home in a flash is to add a new set of blinds or curtains. And PH Blinds and Curtains have a fantastic range to choose from.
