Summer 2016 Trends

As the days get longer and warmer we want to enjoy every bit of sunshine and fun that comes with the approach of summer, whether that is with picnics, swimming or vacations. But why stop there? Celebrate this time of year every day with decor inspired by summer 2016 trends. From easy going to elegant, there is something for everyone this season.

Back to Nature

Since summer brings everyone outdoors it only makes sense to also bring the outdoors in. A huge trend for this summer is floral print in everything from wallpaper to furniture according to Katrina Chambers. Another way to surround yourself with nature is with lots of green houseplants. They will remind you of the great outdoors even when you are inside.

Opposites Attract

Get classy this summer with trendy black and white. Room Decor Ideas recommends this strong, classic color combination to balance out the bright summery colors we normally see around this time of year. Bring some glamour into your dining room with this bar table in espresso and some elegant black and white chairs.

Go for Gold

Another way to up the elegance in your home is with gold accents also according to Room Decor Ideas. Reflect the summer sunshine in your bedroom with beautiful metallic touches such as this gorgeous table lamp and some cheery throw pillows.

Rock the Retro

Both of the aforementioned blogs state that the 70’s are back for summer 2016 decor. Have some fun giving a nod to the “feel good decade” with everything from tie-dye duvets to retro style furniture. Go nostalgic with your office by adding a groovy swivel chair and a far out desk with a fun pop of color.
