Summer Design Trends for Your Home
A new season stirs something within us—a desire to shake things up. Perhaps this is yoga in the park now that the weather is heating up. Maybe this is taking a cooking class to show off your culinary skills at your next family BBQ. Or maybe it’s updating your home with something fresh and exciting. If that latter example tickled your fancy, then you are in the right place! We have listed out our favorite summer design trends for homes. Once you find a trend you like, our friendly team of experts is here to help you bring it to life!
Trend 1: Biophilic Design
Biophilic design has its roots (pun intended) in integrating nature with design. This can include small additions (like a few houseplants) or something grander (like a mural that uses moss to create a picture). Since summer is when nature is in full bloom, one of the top summer design trends for homes is bringing some of that nature inside. One way you can integrate biophilic design into your home is by sticking with a theme. Coastal themes with soothing blues, shell décor, and airy lighting are one such example. Of course, if you like your home’s current theme, adding organic window treatments like woven wood shades from Hunter Douglas can bring this trend into your home. Made with grass, reeds, bamboo, and wood, woven wood shutters from Hunter Douglas are beautiful and durable, creating a relaxed atmosphere throughout your home.
Trend 2: Bold Colors
In addition to nature, summer is bursting with bright, vibrant colors to shake off the greys of winter and rainy skies of spring. Summer design trends, in turn, are shifting towards utilizing bold colors with your home to brighten up a space. This can be done with vibrant furniture, artwork that has pops of color, an accent wall showcasing a zesty hue, or a window treatment that can act as the shining star of a room. Hunter Douglas shades come in various colors that range from neutral to bold, allowing you to crank up the vibrancy as much as you wish. We adore Pacifica Blue from the Silhouette® Sheer Shades collection, Greenbar from the Duette® Cellular Shades, and Coral from the Pirouette® Sheer Shades collection. Of course, we are happy to help show you even more fabric colors that will fit the style of your home.
Trend 3: Warm Wood Elements
Classic, elegant, and inviting warm wood elements are also on our list of summer design trends for homes. If you like looking ahead, wood elements make a timeless style that can easily transition from summer to fall and winter to spring. Hunter Douglas offers both genuine wood and alternative wood blinds and shutters. Whether you want the beauty of wood paired with man-made materials or genuine wood through and through, Hunter Douglas can help you dive into this design trend, no matter your aesthetic or functional needs.
