Let’s explore our 2023’s Summer interior design forecast.
Mediterranean Living
The Mediterranean style is an all-time favorite when it comes to summer design trends and it's easy to see why. It exudes the beauty of natural elements, and encourages relaxation and enjoyment. This summer, we see it making a big comeback by incorporating earthy tones such as olive green and deep taupe. These subtle shades bring warmth and a natural ambiance to any space.
To complement these earthy tones, the use of organic shapes and textures is a perfect pairing. Look out for clay and terracotta elements, olive trees, and natural wooden accents. These organic textures bring comfort and calm.
Lightweight textures
When it comes to window dressings, we're seeing a move towards lighter fabrics like linen and natural fibers. They let natural light filter through, evoking a flow of air and a fresh feel. The beauty of linen and other natural materials is not only their lightweight texture but also their durability, making them ideal for summer.
