5 Home Decor Trends Taking Over Summer 2024, According to Designers
New season, new home decor trends, right? Not necessarily, and it doesn’t have to be. However, the vibrant energy of summer often inspires people to shift from a spring aesthetic and update their homes with the latest trends. If you’re considering making some changes yourself, you’re in the right place. Professional designers have highlighted five home trends that will be popular in the coming months. Whether you’re looking to enhance lighting in a room, experiment with color, or try out a vintage pattern in your space, there’s something here for everyone.
According to Apartment Therapy, bring on the striped designs this season, Meyer says, whether it’s textiles, furniture, wallpaper, or all of the above! “There’s something about a stripe that always reminds me of awnings, beaches, and generally warm weather vibes, and mixing it up with other patterns feels really fresh and fun,” she says.
The striping you choose can be loud and punchy, as shown in this bedroom makeover, or you can go soft and subtle. Meyer likes the idea of covering the back of a bookshelf with a sweet striped paper, for example, as she’s particularly drawn to blues and greens set against a white background.
Outdoor living will be seen as an extension of the home this summer, says designer Sarah McCarty. “We’ll see more indoor-outdoor type spaces — think retractable walls and outdoor kitchens,” she notes. “By blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors, homeowners can create seamless transitions that will encourage more time in the summer sun.” So go ahead: Start planning for plenty of dinners (and WFH days, if possible!) alfresco.
