Out with the throw blankets and in with new pops of color. Spring and summer are just around the bend, and that means that design lovers are already thinking of ways to liven up their interiors with the latest interior design trends. These trends will show you that you don’t need to undertake major renovation work, spend a month’s salary on decorative items, or completely change the ambiance you have worked hard to create. With small yet meaningful changes, your home can be brighter, happier, and readier for the warm, sunny months ahead.
Vintage and Retro Touches
Interior design publication Sweet Magnoliaa has stated that one of the biggest trends of the year will be vintage and retro styles, particularly from the mid-century modern and Art Deco eras. To incorporate touches of this trend into your home, go for bold geometric patterns and jeweled tones, vintage furniture pieces (like a retro lamp you might find at an antique or secondhand shop), and frames. One of the coolest looks abounds involves selecting wooden, golden, or copper-hued frames for art deco art prints and vintage photographs. When choosing art, go for Art Deco classics like rich reds, bold blues, blacks, and vivid greens.
Textured Walls and Ceilings
Say goodbye to plain white or neutral walls and welcome the vibrant colors of spring with a bit of texture on your walls and ceilings. This year, you will be seeing wallpapered ceilings, wood paneling, and decorative plaster finishes that add life to any room. You can recreate this trend in your home for next to nothing by gracing a statement wall with a floral-hued or other nature-inspired wallpaper design.
Home Wellness Spaces
The biophilic design trend has been one of the biggest influences of the past decade. Post-pandemic, people began appreciating the important role that nature plays in their lives, and the idea of letting more of the Great Outdoors into their lives grew increasingly appealing. This spring and summer, however, it will be all about marrying biophilic design trends to the creation of home wellness spaces. Consider designing a bathroom, living room, or bedroom with color therapy lighting, indoor potted plants, vines, and “living walls.” Or what about decorative items in colors inspired by nature, especially green? Or a mural painted like a lush jungle or forest? If you are thinking of getting your hands on new furniture, go for natural wood, stone, and reclaimed wood items to fully embrace this trend.
Maximalist Boldness
If you’re a fan of home design brands like Roche Bobois, then you’re probably into bold pops of color in hues like bright blue, vivid red, flirty fuchsia, and mustard yellow. Mix them all together in your sofas, chairs, rugs, and artwork, and you’ve got a maximalist room that celebrates saturated hues to full effect. This trend is ideal for those who love to sew and can quickly create items like small rights, cushions, and tablecloths that combine deep, bright complementary, and contrasting colors.
Spring will soon be here, and that’s a great excuse for budding designers to breathe new life into their homes. Just a few trends to watch out for include vintage and retro touches, textured walls and ceilings, biophilic touches, and maximalist looks. Combine these with a focus on wellness and your home will definitely be the oasis you always dreamed of!
