Summer is the perfect time to refresh and rejuvenate your living spaces with the latest trends. A celebration of interior design and decoration inspires homeowners to explore new styles, embrace creativity, and transform their homes into personalized sanctuaries. Whether you’re looking to make bold statements with avant-garde pieces or create a serene haven with sustainable luxury, these trends offer something for everyone.
Dhara Shroff, Head of Retail and Reema Shah, Head of Creative, Opulin, say, “One of the most notable trends is the resurgence of avant-garde appeal, where vibrant colors, unexpected textures, and unusual furniture items come together to create bold and dynamic environments. This trend encourages homeowners to embrace creativity and make daring choices that reflect their unique personalities.”
Another trend experiencing a revival is Art Deco home décor. “Characterized by geometric shapes, opulent materials, and striking hues, Art Deco brings historical curiosity and a touch of refinement to modern settings. Its timeless elegance and rich visual appeal make it a popular choice for those looking to add a sophisticated edge to their interiors,” add Shroff and Shah.
Sachin Chauhan, Director, Maison by Nirmals, says, “One of the most prominent shifts is towards sustainable luxury. The past few years have taught us to slow down and consider our natural environment, making sustainability and eco-consciousness central themes in design. Despite this shift, maximal aesthetics remain popular, combining eco-friendly practices with opulent designs.”
Bar accessories are emerging from the background to take center stage as a prominent home décor trend. Stylish and functional, these accessories add a chic element to living spaces, transforming ordinary areas into focal points of social interaction and enjoyment.
Shroff and Shah believe, “Coffee table books are also becoming increasingly popular, adding character, flair, and functionality to living areas. They not only serve as interesting conversation starters but also help level surfaces for smaller decorative items and provide height and dimension to vignettes.”
Shroff and Shah add, “Tableware is making a significant comeback as a trend in home décor, extending beyond the kitchen. Antique teacups and hand-painted plates bring historical interest and charm, captivating guests with their unique stories and intricate designs.”
Also, funky flower pots, featuring psychedelic swirls, peace signs, or bold geometric motifs, are adding a playful dimension to home décor. These vibrant pots inject a sense of fun and creativity into spaces, making them stand out.
Chauhan opines, “Hand-crafted elements are intrinsic to sustainable luxury, bringing a one-of-a-kind flavor to interiors while fostering timeless techniques. These pieces offer a unique charm and authenticity that mass-produced items often lack.”
There is also a renewed appreciation for elegant curves and arches in architecture and furniture. These design elements lend a classic softness and interest to spaces, moving away from the flat and glossy surfaces of the past. Instead, a wondrous play of textures brings interiors to life, with diverse wood tones, veneers, woven textiles, and knits adding dynamic character to spaces.
Chauhan shares, “A well-thought-out lighting plan is essential in transforming how a space is experienced. Proper lighting can dramatically alter the mood and functionality of a room, making it a crucial aspect of interior design.”
Finally, technological innovations are revolutionizing the creative world of home décor. Advanced 3D visualization for bespoke furniture, textiles, and interior spaces, along with AI in the conceptualization and design processes, is taking center stage. These technologies allow for more precise and personalized design solutions, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional aspects of home décor.
