Summer is less than one month away. After the winter we had, the hot and sunny days can’t come too soon. Before the summer months are upon us, you can prepare for the heat by rejuvenating your home with this season’s hottest interior trends. Embracing handmade items, vibrant colour palettes, creative prints, and natural elements, these summer trends are sure to be an exciting addition to any home. Whether you’re planning a complete interior design overhaul or just want to enliven your space, don’t forget that these trends can influence your windows too, and that a new set of blinds, shades, or drapes can totally refresh your home.
One of the biggest trends this summer is affecting your colour palette. Gone are the muted colours and earth-tones of autumn, as they have quickly been replaced by vibrant and fun colours to reflect the hottest season. Colours designed to catch your eye can enliven a space, breathing new life into any room. Whether it’s a full accent wall or it’s just picked up in small pillows or decorative pieces, bold is the way to go. Blue, especially, is going to be a hot colour this summer.
To go along with this daring colour scheme, bold patterns are another trend sure to be a hit this summer. Strong, lively fabrics in the eye-catching colour of your choice will ensure your space is fashionable this season. Floral prints and fabrics with animals on them for pillows, rugs, and upholstery are forecasted to be a huge hit, as natural elements are back in full-swing this summer.
Another trend you can easily incorporate into your home is hand-crafted, folksy items. Stylists say that items that are clearly made in Canada are particularly trendy at this moment. Distressed furniture and boho chic decorative pieces found at local flea markets and antiques shows (as opposed to international box stores like IKA) are among the items that you can add to your home to achieve this look.
As the GTA’s leading provider of window coverings, we’re a great way to add a little bit of Canada into your rooms. For years, we’ve been servicing Southern Ontario with the highest quality custom window treatments, and we’d be happy to help you redecorate in time for summer. A new set of blinds will be a lot more effective in revamping your space than a few new trinkets. You can thoughtfully match any of our blinds to your vibrant colour scheme, embracing the bright blues, greens, and purples to complement the new throw pillows or carpet you’ve purchased.
While we will most likely be posting another list of trends for next summer, something that will never go out of fashion is good, quality-made window treatments. Made with the best of materials and hung with the utmost care and precision, our blinds will last through any fashion fad. So when you start to redecorate for the summer months, be sure to speak with one of our design consultants to learn how you can find the blinds that best fit your interior design choices.
