Summer Home décor Schemes for 2022

Decorating for a fresh new summer scheme invites simplicity and revives your home interior should you be looking to sell your home during the warmer months. Without further ado, let's look at five simple summer home decorative applications that are perfect for a summer design makeover.

Combination of high-tech and vintage accents 

As technology in the home continues to grow, so does the design direction of modern homes which work to encompass these new elements. The use of virtual design through incredibly versatile software allows interior designers to create impeccably detailed and immersive spaces which combine both contemporary and vintage design.

Combining vintage and new technology allows us to retain those timeless accents while also incorporating sustainable materials and décors. Vintage elements contain the ability to influence the character, direction, and themes you're trying to portray. With the advent of modern technology, classical elements can easily be incorporated into any design scheme provided you know what you're seeking.

Curves in Furniture

Scintillating and enticing curves break the modernist vogue and incorporate elements of post-modern extravagance to change things up. From rounded furnishings to curved archways, designed to integrate a spherical appeal add character and vibrance into minimalist spaces. We call this a "transitional style" in interior design, and it works best in entranceways, landings and reception rooms.

You may also incorporate curves into your wallpaper designs by choosing patterns with colourful circles. Paisley is also a fantastic option here. This provides a suitable backdrop to curved furniture, enhancing its presence and providing a focal point.

Bookshelf décor

Design concepts can encompass anything from room décor to simple additions to your shelving. The summer décor scheme continues to invite elements of minimalism and spasticity. Keep things simple!

You'll want to remove any darker pieces, this includes your books, and replace them with light and airy pieces. Home magazines, figurines and accents consisting of white, grey or translucent pieces work best for this season. Duality is key during placement so consider the angulation of your books on one shelf, and do the opposite for the next. It enhances your living space and creates a feeling of togetherness.

Is Brown the new black?

For the past two years, yellow and grey have clearly dominated the colour swatch. However, 2022 follows the theme of warmth and a reimagining of our priorities. Brown has become quite the staple and borrows heavily from rustic design which encompasses character and rich textures.

As neutral and clinical hues are no longer in vogue, the focus has been placed on biophilic elements such as the inclusion of nature and natural lighting. Brown offers a faithful return to rustic styles so expect to see similar hues in terms of rosy, terracotta tones. These tomes and textures will blend seamlessly with what we may see as Autumn 2023 approaches.

Look out for Japandi 

Defined as a fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian design, Japandi is a marvellous transitional blend between two distinct definitions of minimalism and design efficiency. The combination of both minus the commercial appeal. If you're looking for cool metal and straight lines on the Nordic side but yearn for a little warmth and vitality then rattan and bamboo may be just what you're seeking.

Wallpapers laden with Takeda Cherry or ink blossoms add stylised and distinctive elements that break the clinical mould. Complete the look with a colour palette to match. We would recommend dark and light greys, browns and white to cap it off.
