Two home design trends for this Summer
With long Summer days, beach and pool hangs are top of mind for many of us right now. But with so many refreshing home design trends emerging, it’s impossible to not turn our eyes indoors.
The two most noteworthy interior design trends this season seem to effortlessly combine comfortable living and minimalism.
Japandi Style
Two popular interior design styles — Japanese and Scandinavian— combine into one minimalist, earthy aesthetic known as Japandi.
Japandi styles feature beautiful craftsmanship with a focus on quality and handmade pieces over throwaway, cheap structures.
You'll also see a lot of neutral colors and paint choices to complement Japandi furniture and accessories. Calming, tranquil, and peaceful palettes are typically chosen, and when brighter colors are incorporated, they are done so meaningfully and subtly.
Additionally, Japandi styles often emphasize sustainability. The prevalence of natural materials and simple designs makes it a great green decor style. With more and more consumers looking toward eco-friendly aesthetics, Japandi's popularity is no surprise.
Monochromatic paint
Whether you go with dark or light colors, people are going monochromatic and painting the doors, door casings, trim, and walls the same color.
Gone are the days of white trim and molding to frame the paint color on your walls.
If you're going all-in with a monochromatic look, choosing a color you love is vital. Look to a favorite piece of furniture or art to build your monochromatic color scheme around.
Deep colors lend themselves to moody, sophisticated spaces, while brighter hues can evoke a playful, energetic feeling. Neutrals are great for encouraging calm.
Trends are just trends and you don't need to follow them, but you can get some new ideas for your home. Summer is always a good timming to think about changes.
