The weather is getting warmer, the sun is shining a little brighter and you know what that means… it’s about to be Summer. It’s the season of sunshine, days spent outside, the smell of fresh-cut grass and afternoon rain showers. This summer, the design blogs and style forecasters are pointing to the same interior design trends that bring the best of outdoors, in. We’ll take a look at the tranquil hues, pops of color (especially blue), and natural textures that combine to create a bright, airy, calming home that’s the perfect place to relax.
The Color Blue
Let’s start with the space where the entire family gathers to hang out. The seating centerpiece should be large enough to comfortably seat everyone, but not overwhelm the room with its size. Our Lane Celine Parchment 4-Piece Sectional is the oasis your summer needs. In a soft, bright beige with a natural texture, it’s the perfect neutral backdrop to highlight the colorful throw pillows. Throw a large blue area rug underneath and your living room is pretty set for summer!
Bright blue skies, aqua oceans and teal pools… There’s no way around it, the color of summer is blue. Some even say it’s the color of the year! To add a little pop of blue to a neutral corner, try our Powell Teal Accent Table. With cabriole tapered legs and a lower shelf for a bit of storage, the details really set this piece apart. This little gem is constructed from select hardwoods and solid wood, meaning it was made to last and last. If you already have the neutrals, this addition is an easy, eye-catching way to update a room for the season.
Lighter & Brighter
A major part of any summer is enjoying barbecues and cookouts with the family… and an amazing meal deserves an amazing setting. Our Klaussner Coming Home Counter Height Dining Group is the ideal place to gather. With padded seating, the chairs provide a comfortable place to spend long mornings or evenings sharing a bite and a laugh. The natural, distressed Wheat finish features saw marks and a warm, practical sheen. It’s also available in a soft white Chalk finish if you’re looking for something lighter and brighter. Set the table with colorful settings, throw something on the grill and mix up a gallon of sweet tea and let the rest sort itself out.
Crisp & Bold
And finally, a little bit of Paradise in the bedroom. The Universal Furniture Spencer Queen Storage bed is casual, breezy elegance at its finest. With an inviting two-tone finish and striking matte black accents, the bed offers two storage drawers, making it a stylish and thoughtful storage solution. With crisp white linens and a few bold accent pillows, this is the centerpiece of a relaxing staycation you can easily visit, all summer long.
