From simple splashes of colour, playful patterns, and fresh furnishings, summer is the perfect time to update your home and ring in the season with this year’s hottest trends! We’ve rounded up five summer decorating trends that we’re excited about so you can refresh any room in your home!

Energizing Splashes of Colour

2020 is all about bright, saturated colours when it comes to summer decorating trends. Fortunately, you can achieve this summery look without breaking the bank or your back! All you need are a new set of bold, patterned throw cushions to liven up your chairs and sofas instantly. You can also opt for a brighter lampshade or a new piece of artwork on the wall! Adding a vibrant splash of colour is a simple yet incredibly effective way of bringing the feel of summer into your home.

White Wood

Nothing says summer like a bright and airy vibe! One of the best ways to achieve this look and lighten up a room is to switch out your dark wood furniture for fresh white options. Of course, you can buy beautiful pieces online, but if you’re feeling crafty, it’s easy to repurpose the furniture you already have! Coffee tables, bookshelves, desks, and TV stands can be sanded down and painted white for a whole new look!

Floral Motifs

Floral is a summer trend we’re super excited about! There are so many excellent ways to incorporate this hot summer trend! Why not make a room pop by using floral wallpaper as an eye-catching accent wall? If that’s a little too much for you, you can always incorporate florals with a new shower curtain or throw blanket! Or simply add a pop of nature to any room with fresh-cut flowers. This trend is a fantastic way to make your home cheerful, bright, and playful this summer.

Climbing plants

Who says vines are for outside only? A winding, twisty plant is a super chic look indoors too! Use an ivy tree as an art piece behind your couch or over your mantle to create a super cool jungle-feel that’s summery and fun! Bonus: plants aren’t just stylish, they help keep the air in your home fresh too!

Rustic Chic

Another hot summer trend that we’re excited about is rustic chic! If you’re looking to incorporate this trend in your home, try terracotta! If you have the budget for a more extensive renovation, terracotta floors make for a gorgeous kitchen! However, you can also use terracotta pieces like vases, bowls, and planters. It’s a great way to get a fresh, garden feeling in your living room or kitchen that’s perfect for summer.
