Summer has arrived, and it’s a great time to give your interior a little refresh! The interior design experts at Florida Leather Gallery in Bonita Springs offer tips on how to create a sun-filled, summery living room using the hottest trends of the season.
High Contrast
High contrast designs add balance and depth to a space and create a dynamic effect to expansive areas like a living room. Black-and-white is huge this year, as are bold, moody colors.
Painted Trim
No longer does trim have to be stark white! Trims painted in dark colors or the same color as the walls add a monochromatic, crisp, luxurious feel. Feeling brave? Go ahead and paint the ceiling the same color! Not only does this create a more cohesive look, but it also makes the space look larger and the ceiling feel higher.
Go Green
Another great way to get your living room ready for summer is to add pops of green with furnishings or accents. Green sofas and accent walls are trending this summer, and it’s a pop of color that goes with almost anything. Don’t want to commit to the big pieces? Incorporate the color by adding green houseplants, pillows, or throws.
Statement Pieces
Make your home brighter and more vibrant by mixing and matching bold patterns like floral prints, animal prints, stripes, or geometric designs. You can accomplish this by adding graphic paintings, mixed pattern pillows, colorful rugs, and fresh colorful flowers.
Lighten Up
One of our favorite summer trends is swapping out heavy rugs, draperies, and pillows for lighter accents such as linen throws, deep pile-women rugs, rattan, and reclaimed wood.
Mix and Match
Mix things up this summer by using tribal, ethnic patterns with bold jungle prints. Balance the wow factor by neutralizing the look with black and white and mixing in metallics such as silver and gold.
