When the summer season approaches, we often change our wardrobes. Renewing your home decor is as crucial as fashion in preparation for the season. Mixing and matching home decor creates a fresh and vibrant atmosphere while retaining a personal touch. Each season evokes a different mood, and the material you use in your home contributes to the ambiance. Creativity helps unify your taste with your living space through various elements.
Wallpaper
Summer is a season of joy and brightness, which should also be reflected in our homes. A simple way to brighten our homes is by using refreshing wallpaper to match the outside world. With proper design and color choice, wallpaper can transform your home into a bright, playful atmosphere. Here are a few summer wallpaper trends that can refresh and warm your house:
Floral Haven
Floral and old-fashioned wallpaper have a timeless look attractive to young generations. Embracing past elements is becoming common as individuals seek solace in familiar styles. This is reflected in the increased use of pink and soft green wallpaper with delicate floral patterns.
Sunkissed Citrus
Tangy lemons and juicy oranges remind us of hot days spent by the beach. Sun-kissed citrus motifs are attractive and highly evoke the spirit of summer. Depending on your preference, you can incorporate subtle citrus accents or bold citrus patterns into your living space.
Boho Chic
Boho chic wallpaper designs create a carefree and relaxed summer home environment. It comprises artisanal details, textured finishes, and earthy tones that add character to your space. This is great for creating a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere of bohemian summer in your home.
Pillows
Mixing throw pillows of various colors and patterns can transform your home’s ambiance. Some of the best throw pillows for the summer include:
Samira Pillow
Samira pillow sets bring charm to your living space with their ornate details and chic motifs. They feature a classy beige and black combo that compliments every component of your house. Their chenille craft delivers subtle geometry and warm texture.
Janine Pillow
This pillow set adds a fresh, boho-chic touch to your decor. Its stitched accents keep it soft and cozy. Thick fringe details complement the overall look.
Rugs
Rugs are among the biggest statement-makers in any room. Opt for a coordinated look to prevent multiple rugs from clashing in the same room. If you love one particular type of rug, consider incorporating it more than once in the home. For example, place two matching runners in the kitchen and have a matching dining, living, and dining room rug.
If you’d like different colors for area rugs, it’s best to maintain the same color palette. This allows you to select rugs of different patterns without them looking misplaced. Using bold colors like blue and green or neutrals like black and white or tan rugs can ground multiple rug patterns in the room.
Using differently shaped rugs is also a great way to make your home a summer haven. Mix a runner or round rug with a larger area rug for visual interest in the space. You can try a round rug under the dining table and a larger one in the living area.
Curtains
You can refresh your home during seasonal changes by changing your curtains. Yellow, white, green, and latte are among the best summer curtain colors. This summer, trending patterns include florals, stripes, and coastal styles. Keep your home cool by selecting light fabrics like linen, chiffon, and lace.
White is often associated with summer, and its versatility makes it compatible with most color palettes. White voile curtains are a summer classic that creates a gentle, charming breeze. Voile sheer fabrics provide privacy while filtering the harsh summer sunlight. For an authentic beach house chic, combine white curtains with pale-washed wood, a blue color scheme, and natural textures like jute and rattan.
Accent Chairs
Adding accent chairs to your home improves the overall design. It can diversify your aesthetic to anchor a summer look. Woven fabrics provide better functionality in the summer, but you can opt for breathable materials like cotton, canvas, and microfiber. These materials can withstand constant use and exposure to sunlight.
Your color and pattern choice significantly impact the ambiance created by your accent chairs. Select a vivid color that creates a funky design that stands out. If you don’t like attention-grabbing designs, consider neutral tones with simple ornamentations. For a subtle design, find a plain, simple chair like the off-white Waylen accent chair or the Kinsey accent chair. Their designs introduce a timeless visual texture in the room.
