Summer provides the perfect opportunity to redecorate. With fewer weather restrictions to worry about and a sunny sense of optimism, if there was any time to take on the challenge of transforming your home, it's now. But where to begin? With so many different designs to choose from, it's difficult to know which look is best for you. Well, with our help, hopefully you'll be able to achieve your dream house. From gorgeously floral to going green, here are the trends you need to watch out for.Floral
Floral prints are great for the spring/summer season. They're fresh, feminine and never fail to produce a homely feel. What's more, there's lots of scope with this style. For instance, it's the perfect look for the bedroom. A combination of crisp white walls with light floral designs is a guaranteed way to bring this space to life. Perhaps consider opting for delicate pink hues, as these would complement the white background beautifully. Or if you want to create a statement, go bold and try a feature wall. Coupled with a contemporary bedside table, and a large mirror to accessorise, and you're sorted!Texture
That's right, texture is a huge trend for 2013. Working hand in hand with all things vintage, using texture within the home is a fantastic means of giving your décor greater depth or a new dynamic. Now, this doesn't mean just buying a woolly blanket or two. Designers are suggesting that you try to be creative, and incorporate materials which you wouldn't conventionally opt for. For example, knitted and embroidered products. Be it baskets or cushions, knitted items are not just quirky, but they're also an excellent way to establish comfort in the home; ideal for those cosy nights in.Eco- friendly
Everyone seems to be going eco-friendly these days, and the same applies for interior designers. A far cry from merely implementing solar panels, the experts are encouraging decorators to go all out and to really embrace the cause. Interested? Then why not give your home a green stamp that's unique? From framed plant screens to soft stone furnishings, there is an abundance of ways in which you can project the natural look. Or alternatively, if you'd prefer to show your eco- friendly nature more subtly, then you could always invest in some stylish recycling bins? Every little helps!
