Our team at Third Coast Interiors has researched and compiled a list of interior design trends for the summer of 2018. Use these quick and easy tips to design your own space.
FOLIAGE
GOLDEN ACCENTS
BOLD COLORS
The fresh colors of green will literally breathe life into any space. Use foliage to decorate your shelves and mantels as well as any bare corners of the room. Complement your plants with more green such as an accent wall, chairs, pendants, or even a rug!
Gold details can up the glam factor and it can also bring decadence into a room. This look can be achieved by simply adding in a gilded table lamp or a small jewelry dish. It's easy to use these gold accents against a clean background or even a dark, moody one!
Gray and neutrals will always be in, but this year, it's all about mixing it in with the bold colors. Choose one or two main colors with rich pigment to circulate your design around to reflect your fun personality.
ICE CREAM
Another way to incorporate colors into your design is to use ice cream colors. Think of it as a way of using softer colors but for the same bold look.
ARTISANAL EMBELLISHMENTS
It's always nice to have handcrafted elements to your space. Play around with different textures and materials!
TROPICAL
Of course, tropical is still in. You can either play with strong colors within the tropical design or you can play it down to something simple. Whichever way you choose, it will always liven up the atmosphere.
LARGE PENDANTS
FRINGE
PINEAPPLES
Although chandeliers will always be in style, larger pendants will take over dining rooms to create a warm and inviting feeling for you and your guests.
Because interior design trends often follow fashion, fringe has been uprising lately for the summer of 2018. Fringe can be paired with accessories such as mirrors, lamps, and cushions.
The pineapple motif has been in and out for years, and it's back again in 2018. You can find varieties of pineapple in print, table lamp shades, and more. Or, you could alway use the real thing.
MOODY
GEOMETRIC DESIGN
PERFECT MATCH
The moodier, the better! This trend will be popular in kitchens and bathrooms with dark tile and dark cabinetry. It definitely strays away from the clean white look these rooms have had in the past.
Geometric design will be minimalistic, but also add depth into the space you're designing. It's all about tiles, wallpaper, and art in 2018.
You can choose a neutral or bold color scheme to match the furniture, the fabric, and floors. You can also match pattern and texture.
CHINTZ
PATINA/WABI SABI
IRIDESCENT
Going off on finding the perfect match, matching chintz is coming back in 2018. Using florals and colors that pop today is what'll make this trend mainstream.
These two trends find the beauty in imperfection. It is care-free and easy to apply into your design and creates a more live in look.
The shimmer is perfect for the summer! Iridescence in blush, blue, and lilac tones offers a modern feel for today's design.
