Jute Area Rug, $40 DovDov Blown Glass Vase, $30 Swthony 15-Inch Round Rattan Mirror, $30 Safavieh Morocco Collection Accent Rug, $76 Kouboo La Jolla Coco Rattan Planter, $60 Cozayh Cloud-Shaped Nesting Coffee Table Set, $130 with coupon (was $150) Trend: Biophilic "Biophilic design is a strategy for returning to nature in the design of buildings," architect and designer Nicholas Potts explained to Real Simple. You're bringing nature inside your home, but this can happen in different ways. It's often through the use of lush plants and greenery, but you can also use hues that resemble nature to embrace the trend. DovDov Blown Glass Vase Amazon $30 at Amazon This vase combines the best of both worlds: a lively color scheme that complements the blooms you stick in it. "We're seeing a trend of bringing the outdoors in," reaffirms interior designer Elizabeth Burch." A little greenery always makes a space feel complete and homey. We like to use oversized vases with tall branches or greenery styled on kitchen countertops and coffee tables." The Knitted Co. Jute Area Rug Amazon $40 at Amazon "A circular shaped rug helps define a space like a reading nook or a dining area while providing the soothing natural flow of round lines," says Nichole Abbott, an interior designer at Floor360. "The color of jute is neutral light brown and falls into the new demand for shades of brown that are rising in popularity. Since jute is a material that’s found in nature it’s part of the overall biophilic design trend that seeks to bring the outside inside, which is perfect for creating summer vibes in the home." Trend: Eclectic Flair Bright, bold, and unpredictable, adding eclectic elements to your home doesn't have to mean fully embracing maximalism. Start small with an accent piece or statement object that grabs your attention on the spot. Our pros suggest a few eye-catching details to get you started on adopting this trend for summer. Safavieh Morocco Collection Accent Rug Amazon $76 at Amazon Get ready to "indulge in the free-spirited charm of bohemian chic with the Safavieh Morocco collection accent rug," according to Amanda Foster. "This exquisite rug will add a touch of wanderlust to your living room, bedroom, or any space that craves a dose of eclectic flair. With its intricate patterns and rich hues, it's a statement piece that will elevate your summer vibes to new heights." Mopio Chloe Futon Sofa Bed Amazon $279 at Amazon Throwback styles in bold colors will dominate this summer. "This sleek and stylish piece will add a touch of retro glamor to your living space, transporting you back to the golden age of design," Foster illustrates. "With its plush velvet upholstery and clean lines, it's a timeless addition that will elevate your summer soirees with a touch of vintage flair." Trend: Curves Calling all curves: There's a craving for irregular shapes in our dwellings this summer, especially when they look thoughtfully sculpted. Rounded edges give your decor a softer feel, while still adding a quirky flair to any room. Our pros recommend embracing the curvy trend where your guests can see them. Cozayh Cloud-Shaped Nesting Coffee Table Set Amazon Orig. $150 $130 at Amazon Sometimes, it all starts with a showstopping piece. "The irregular shape of this coffee table is very much in trend," insists expert designer Pantea Bionki. "Its natural color is perfect for summer. For a complete look, accessorize it with a round moss arrangement in a concrete-finish bowl and some summer-themed coffee table books." Trend: Rattan Rattan isn't solely reserved for decks and patios. Whether you're aiming for a coastal luxury or simply want to add warm elements to your space, there's no wrong way to add rattan to a room. Our experts suggest focusing on minimalist furniture with rattan detailing if you're not ready to commit fully to the style or are afraid it won't mesh well with your current decor. Cimoo Set of Two Modern Rattan Dining Chairs Amazon Orig. $200 $190 at Amazon Bionki believes "rattan pieces exude a summer vibe," which is why it's important to bring the trend inside your home. These chairs have the perfect combination of color and texture for styling a dining table for a fresh summer look. They pair well with whitewashed, neutral wood or a black table. Kouboo La Jolla Coco Rattan Planter Amazon $60 at Amazon Add texture and warmth all at once to your space with a single stellar piece, at least that's what designer Shani Core recommends. "Kouboo's La Jolla Coco handmade rattan planter is a way to bring to life the handmade rattan trend while also incorporating live plants, which instantly brings life and personality to any space.” Swthony 15-Inch Round Rattan Mirror Amazon $30 at Amazon "This mirror embodies the trend of incorporating natural elements into your space," states Alice Moszczynski, an interior designer at Planner 5D. "To enhance the natural aesthetic, Style it in an entryway or powder room with a darker wall covering, potted plants, and some fun towels." Trend: Colors of the Moment When in doubt, throw some color into the mix. This time of year, it's about warm pinks, corals, and oranges that will add delicate pops of color throughout the room. These shades will help your space feel more welcoming and create an inviting atmosphere. Jillien Harbor Lauderdale Pink Blockprint Pillow Cover Amazon Orig. $35 $33 at Amazon Elizabeth Burch is all about celebrating "Peach Fuzz," Pantone's color of the year. "Two of our current projects incorporate these peachy tones in both indoor and outdoor spaces," she begins. "We love these block print pillow covers. The pattern is subtle and easy to mix with other patterns, and the piping and double-sided fabric make them feel very high-end. Designer tip: Use an insert that is 2 inches larger than the pillow cover size." D'vine Dev 6-Inch Terracotta Beaded Planter Pot Amazon $27 at Amazon "One color of the moment is terra cotta and summer is the perfect time to incorporate this hue in your neutral home décor," adds Nichole Abbott. "Strategically place a mix of planters and vases to create a motif of this color with a mix of real or faux green plants or dried pampas grass. These items also add a touch of texture with the handmade look and feel that’s also so popular right now." Trend: Quiet Luxury The quiet luxury trend persists and has steadily found its way from our closets into our homes—and we're not complaining. In case you missed the TikTok buzz last year, "Traditional design and classic details are making a marked comeback, which aligns perfectly with the quiet luxury look and trend," interior designer Heather Goerzen previously shared with us. "This look is about remaining relevant and tasteful for decades." Belicheto Glass Olive Oil Dispenser Amazon $16 at Amazon Interior designer Shani Core insists you don't have to go big with this trend. Get started with the basics, like luxe yet functional table decor. "In the summertime I can't get enough fresh salads and cold soups, so I am gifting my clients these beautiful Belicheto glass olive oil and vinegar carafes to keep at their cooktops,” adding, “[they] bring a lot of style for a small price." She appreciates that they look more expensive than they really are, evoking quiet luxury while promoting healthy living. Qimh Cordless Table Lamp Amazon Orig. $50 $24 at Amazon Rosanna Bassford of Memmo Interiors suggests adding multifunctional pieces to your timeless decor, like a battery-operated lamp that works indoors as well as outdoors. "When days get warmer during summer we want to spend more time outdoors even as the sun sets. That's when this portable lamp comes in." The simple yet elegant design won't clash with your current decor. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why!
