Interior designers say greenery is in and white walls are out this summer. Followtheflow/ShutterstockInsider asked interior designers which trends are in and which are out this season. Pastels, natural materials, and floral window treatments are popular.
Rustic designs and all-white interiors are becoming outdated and less trendy. Pastel palettes are inAaron Lebowski, an interior designer and consultant at Juliei Salone, said this summer is all about bringing pastel colors into your space. He said colors like pink, yellow, and blue bring to mind summery images, like sunny days and pool parties.

eu/ShutterstockFloral window treatments are back and better than everFlorals are no longer just a trend of the past, according to Courtney Wollersheim, interior designer from FLOOR360. “‘Grandmillennial’ or ‘grandma chic’ is sneaking into many room styles as the summer season heats up because you need lots of florals and bold colors to achieve this look,” Wollersheim explained. “It’s very on-trend to recreate the comfort and coziness of grandma’s traditional style house with vintage pieces and floral fabrics for window curtains.
“When incorporating florals, Wollersheim recommends mixing and matching tablecloth and window-curtain fabrics that are within the same color family. Indoor greenery is also a big seasonal trendPaige Anderson, interior-design architect at Nitido Design, told Insider that greenery is the key to sprucing up a space this summer. Plants are a simple way to bring the outside in.

“Arch shapes can be found in architecture, too.

But in recent years, she said, people are realizing there’s such a thing as too much reclaimed wood in a space.
Wollersheim recommends keeping one of your favorite pieces and contrasting it with glass accents and soft-cushioned chairs for a more holistic look. The formerly trendy ‘rustic’ style is taking a backseatKnown for its natural-looking aged look, the rustic interior-design style is on its way out. “It’s not that the rustic look is inherently bad, but the proliferation of it in homes can be overwhelming,” Lebowski said.
He said you can find balance by having one or two rustic elements in your home, but you might not want to overdo it. Rustic trends can be done tastefully in small doses. Aspects and Angles/Shutterstock Shiplap is falling out of favorShiplap, wide wooden boards commonly used as part of the modern-farmhouse style, will start to see itself out, Staples said.
She said you will still see it appropriately used in coastal or period styles, but other trends will take the stage instead. Still, she noted, some trends — including shiplap — are cyclical and may rise in popularity once again. Shiplap is popular in coastal-inspired homes.
Tr1sha/ShutterstockColors will replace all-white interiorsToussaint Derby, a lead designer at Havenly, said sleek, all-white interiors are going to be replaced with colorful ones. She told Insider “the all-white aesthetic may have felt a little too cold and impersonal” so it’s falling out of favor as people try to cozy up their spaces. Monochromatic spaces aren’t as popular anymoreAccording to luxury interior designer Margarita Bravo, monochromatic spaces just aren’t as welcoming as other design choices.
“People are spending more time in their homes, and they want a more welcoming, inviting space with the use of different materials, textures, and accent colors,” Bravo said. Read the original article on Insider.
