As Summer 2017 approaches, we have put together our top ideas for fresh, summer decor. Whether you are simply switching to summer throw pillows or completing an indoor/outdoor space, here are some ways to include sunny and stylish elements in your interiors.
A Desert View
Desert colors are HOT right now! Imagine the desert view. Pull from the greens of the cactus, warm colors of the rocks and sunset. Incorporate the blues and whites of the sky. Try an emerald green on an upholstered item, to honor the color of the year. Corals, blush pinks, and every pink-orange shade in between help soften any space. Crisp whites and soft grays are the new neutrals.
Go Organic
Using organic products is not just for the kitchen! We can use natural materials within our designs to give a rustic feel, add depth, and take care of our environment. Raw organic vases work in any vignette. Use reclaimed wood and materials like jute, burlap, leather, furs, and cotton in your designs to create natural texture.
The Great Outdoors
Palm fronds are the stem of the moment! Succulents still hold their own, especially in the summer heat. Of course, fresh flowers add not only color, but life and vibrancy to any space. Butterflies, dragonflies, and other insects are the must have motifs of the summer. All of these summer items can be found not only in artwork, but as patterns in fabric as well.
Here Comes The Sun
Contemporary and bohemian styles are making a splash this season. Chandeliers, pendants and sconces make a dramatic statement.. If that’s not in your budget, adding mirrors, candles, and LEDs throughout your space can be just as transformative!

Palm Springs Style
From the pool-side lounging to the retro architecture, Palm Springs is the leader in boutique hotel decor. These desert villas contain vibrant, modern, artwork and a mid-century modern furniture selection. Retro pieces often come with metal, geometric frames and tweed, leather, wicker, or caned seats. Rich jewel tones in a luxurious velvet texture have become a Palm Springs staple and impress all year.
Rocky Road
Don’t forget about your finishes this summer! This means everything from countertops to dish-ware. Traditional marble has been trending for the past year, we suggest using a black marble with white veining for a darker take. Gemstones are no longer just for jewelry, but can be found in lighting, art, and used as decor items. Nailhead trim on upholstery items is back and adds gothic glamour to your summer abode.
Cool For The Summer
Rest and Relaxation, isn’t that what summer vacation is all about? Get outside and enjoy a cool summer breeze. If you can’t get outside as much as you’d like, lighten up your space with some sandy, soft grained, wood pieces. Like the ripples and waves of the ocean, maybe find an eclectic piece that has some curves and a glass top. The addition of powder and navy blues relieve you from the hot heat.
