Summer is finally here, and with it comes a fresh wave of interior and garden trends that feel warmer and more relaxed than we’ve seen in recent years. Shoppers are embracing colour, texture and comfortable living, creating spaces that feel welcoming, lived-in and ready for everything from lazy Sunday afternoons to unexpected overnight guests.
Here’s five high summer trends we’re loving right now:
Yellow is having a moment
Yellow is the colour we’re seeing a lot of this summer. Soft, vibrant and surprisingly versatile, it works beautifully alongside natural wood finishes. Whether it’s cushions or bedding, this sunshine-inspired shade instantly brightens a room without feeling overpowering. Our new Mimosa Yellow colourway taps into this trend perfectly, check out our Paradise Cushions and striking Tablecloth if you want to add a pop into your scheme and embrace this look.
Texture is big
If there’s one trend dominating interiors right now, it’s texture. We’re loving homes that are becoming softer and more tactile, with cotton upholstery and rugs, bouclé fabrics, woven baskets and textured cushions adding depth and interest. Layering different materials creates a relaxed look that feels effortlessly put together, making any space feel warm and welcoming. Our new Koko Chair and Bay Storage Stool both upholstered in a white micro bouclé, add texture and character while creating an inviting look and feel.
Outdoor/ indoor living
The line between indoors and outdoors continues to blur. Flexible furniture, lanterns, and bright textiles are helping people create outdoor spaces that feel like a genuine extension of the home. If you’re short on space, folding furniture is a clever solution that you can easily store away when not in use. This chic Bistro Table and Chairs set creates the ideal alfresco dining setup for any terrace or balcony. When it comes to colour, we’re seeing lots of terracotta, green, and deep teal in accessories, replacing the cooler greys and navy tones that dominated outdoor styling for years.
Curved design
Curved sofas, rounded coffee tables and relaxed seating arrangements are creating more sociable spaces. At the same time, multifunctional furniture continues to grow in popularity as people look for ways to make rooms work harder. Bringing both of these trends together, our Osaka Oak Extending Dining Table combines softly curved edges with a clever extending design that allows you to effortlessly accommodate extra guests when needed – a brilliant choice for those entertaining over the summer months.
Hobby havens
Homes are increasingly being designed around the things we love to do. From cosy reading corners and craft stations to gardening spaces and games rooms, we’re carving out dedicated areas for hobbies and relaxation. Whether it’s a comfortable armchair for reading or a compact desk like our new Twain, furniture is working harder to help us make time for the activities we enjoy most. If you’d love to create a space like this, but don’t have a spare room, try zoning an existing area with a screen. Our Louvre Screen is a great solution for dividing up a space, whether you’re creating a home workout zone, a quiet reading nook or a workspace.
From yellow accents and earthy palettes to relaxed outdoor living and multifunctional furniture, we’re loving the colour, texture and flexibility shaping interiors this summer. For more inspiration visit us online, in our app or pop along to one of our stores.
