This year’s hottest trends are right in time for the summer. From bold, gelato colors, to a taste of the tropics in your living room, this summer’s interior design trends are scorching hot. Here are some of Summer 2018’s hottest design trends.

1. Pastels

From soft but vibrant pink, to deep, elegant purples, designers love these ice-cream inspired styles. Even more popular is complementing these soft but bold colors with a matte, or white background. The best way to keep ‘cool’ this summer is with these hot colors and patterns.

2. Taste of the Tropics

From foliage and florals, all the way to pineapple motifs, one thing’s for sure: the tropics are in. In your home that is! Designers nationwide seem to be taking inspiration from the heat and humidity and bringing the jungle inside your home. Set your clocks to island time with these themes.

3. Metal Fringe

Brass, gold, chrome and more! From finishes, to fixtures, and all the way to fringes, metallic motifs are here to add a glittery glow to your home. Brass in particular is riding high on the waves of summer 2018.

4. Ornamentation

Minimalism is not the hottest ticket this summer. Instead, it’s rich and diverse textures and accents. Checkered patterns for your textiles, and bold rattan and wicker furniture are some of the biggest names this year. In 2018, it’s all about the statement piece.

5. Floral Themes

Interior design seems to be taking a lot of inspiration from the beautiful outdoors right now, mostly with bold new floral designs. Prints and motifs are incorporating floral elements all over.

6. Indoor/Outdoor Integration

Take advantage of the summer weather by designing your outdoor space as an indoor, or vice versa. Natural light, texture, and materials all combine to turn a living room into a patio, and by bringing the patio indoors.
