THE BEST HOME DECOR TRENDS FOR SPRING AND SUMMER

Get inspired to update your home's decor with this peak at the season's top design trends.

This spring and summer, trends in home decor will inspire anyone to update and brighten their home's interior after a long winter. From soft, serene pastels to bold hues in everything from window treatments and tabletop accessories to pillows and rugs, color is one of the biggest design elements. Patterns in every shade and style including bold geometrics are also being featured  in design this season.

With so many unique options, it's easy to add style to any home decor without spending a fortune. We are sharing our favorite trends and tips for you to consider using in your own home decor.

  • Geometric Patterns. One of the biggest decor pattern trends is geometric shapes, such as hexagons and repeated patterns. Artwork, window treatments, pillows, and rugs all add modern style to any room. Chevrons and stripes continue to be timeless choices. Pair complimentary patterns in the same color scheme to create a balanced design.
  • Color. Bold, bright oranges, yellows, raspberry and teals are some of this season's favorite hues. Experiment with these bold colors by painting an accent wall or accessorizing a favorite couch with pillows in these great colors. Pastels can also add a subtle pop of color to a room's palette and can be seen in aqua, pale coral, and lavender. Set a beautiful table with pastel colored candlestick holders in an array of these wonderful colors. 
  • Organic Style. Nature provides one of the greatest inspirations in home decor with all shades of green as the enduring color this season. Emerald was selected as PANTONE's Color of the Year and looks great paired with jeweled tones (think Sherwin Williams' Glitzy Gold). Sherwin Williams chose Aloe, with a slight hint of mint, as their color of the year. For a tranquil look, Aloe is paired with natural textiles, aged metals or warm wood tones in light to medium finishes. 
  • Back To The Beach. Coastal influences are always popular and create a sense of serenity in any room. Fill an apothecary jar with shells from your favorite beach. Add aqua colored throw pillows to your master bedroom or sunroom in soft summer linen fabrics to create a sense of calm. Choose navy and white designs for a crisp, modern style or incorporate gold to add a touch of opulence. 
  • Botanical Prints. Nothing says spring and summer more than flowers. Wallpaper has made a comeback in recent years and an accent wall with a botanical print creates visual interest in a room. Colorful silk pillows with floral designs adds sophisticated style to the living room couch.
