The summer season ignites a mosaic of colours. The trees and grass become a rich deep green and the flowers bloom in beautiful warm and cool tones. Do-it-yourself projects come in full swing as you look to translate the season throughout your home. This article discusses the latest trends in summer to help you create the best room in the house.
2017 is the year of “greenery”, as awarded by Pantone, the world-renowned authority of colour. Take your kitchen, living room or den to a new level of brilliance with bright green or soft-yellow green shades. Elle Décor attributes this shade of paint to feelings of refreshment and revitalization, the perfect ambiance for your family and friends.
Cobalt Blue is the vibrant shade of ocean and summer. When used as an accent wall, you can achieve the right amount of energy to transform your space. Palm Beach interior designer, Joseph Pubillones, recognizes the versatility of this shade as it can be used in a variety of mediums. He recommends coffee tables or wall mounted art work with cobalt blue elements to help bring just the right splash to your room. In combination with printed or patterned fabrics, custom draperies in this shade also help create lines of symmetry throughout your favourite space.
Lifestyle writer and editor, Monique Valeris, provides expert forecasts in her Vogue contribution featured last December. In addition to greenery and oceanic tones, renowned designers, Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, Young Huh, and Beth Diana Smith, announced muted colors, grays, and bronze. Muted colour tones can be achieved through the use of white, beige, or camel custom blinds. Gray and bronzed decorative accessories such as pillows, vases, lamps, and throws, are the perfect accents to your indoor and outdoor spaces.
In addition to vibrant, cool and muted tones, adding texture to your decorative pallet is a must this year. The fusion of texture and colour can be a pretty exciting mix for your next DIY project. As predicted by featured designer, Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, summer of 2017 is looking forward to brushed brass tables, decorative pillows and drapery. Vogue contributor, Ariel Feldman, brings good news for those who love the rustic and summer feel of wicker and woven textures. These textures bring outdoor elements into the home and enhance the summer experience.
