Summer 2015 Design Trends

Summer is officially here, and for many of us that means firing up the barbeque, planning a summer getaway, or getting ready for weekends spent by the pool or at the beach. For others, this is a time to inspire your inner designer and use the season as inspiration to make some design changes in your home.

So what are the summer 2015 design trends that have designers hopping rights now? Check out this great slideshow from HDTV. Not only does it give you the latest and greatest trends - some of which are pricey to say the least - it also provides you with do-it-yourself ideas to help get these great designs on a budget: http://www.hgtv.com/design/make-and-celebrate/handmade/diy-your-way-to-designer-summer-decor-pictures.

Here are just a few of the things that are showing up on magazine covers and every design show you watch.

Shining it up: metallic pieces are big this season, and accent pieces that are high shine really seem to hit the spot.  Metallic finishes on mirrors, frames and other design pieces, as well as metallic threading through fabrics are popping up everywhere. 

Getting back to nature: animal prints and décor pieces, as well as interesting and inspiring natural pieces are great at adding a bit of the outdoors, indoors.

Big, bold colour: what better time to show off your bright side than summer? Interior (and exterior for that matter) design trends are huge on bursts of bright colour right now.

Feeling nostalgic: vintage has had a long run, and it doesn’t seem to be letting up. Vintage floral prints are especially hot right now, on everything from prints to pillows, plates to pottery.

Going industrial: most of us don’t live in industrial-style lofts with exposed pipes and beams, but a touch of the industrial can go a long way to providing an edgy downtown vibe. 

Getting ready for the summer rush? Use these summer 2015 design trends at your next open house - and when staging in preparation for it! Draw in the eyes and make your client’s home as attractive and updated as possible.
