Summer is the perfect time to refresh and rejuvenate your living spaces with the latest trends. A celebration of interior design and décor inspires homeowners to explore new styles, embrace creativity, and transform their homes into personalized sanctuaries. Whether you're looking to make bold statements with cutting-edge pieces or create a serene retreat with sustainable luxury, these trends offer something for everyone.
Dhara Shroff, Retail Director and Reema Shah, Creative Director, Opulin, say: “One of the most notable trends is the resurgence of avant-garde appeal, where vibrant colours, unexpected textures and unusual furniture come together to create bold designs. and dynamic environments. “This trend encourages homeowners to embrace creativity and make bold decisions that reflect their unique personalities.”
Another trend that is experiencing a resurgence is Art Deco home decor. “Characterized by geometric shapes, opulent materials and striking hues, Art Deco brings historical curiosity and a touch of refinement to modern environments. Its timeless elegance and rich visual appeal make it a popular choice for those looking to add a sophisticated touch to their interiors,” add Shroff and Shah.
Sachin Chauhan, Director, Maison by Nirmals, says, “One of the most notable shifts is towards sustainable luxury. Recent years have taught us to slow down and consider our natural environment, making sustainability and ecological awareness central themes in design. Despite this change, the maxi aesthetic remains popular, combining eco-friendly practices with opulent designs.”
Bar accessories are emerging from the background to take center stage as a prominent trend in home decor. Stylish and functional, these accessories add a stylish element to living spaces, transforming common areas into focal points of social interaction and enjoyment.
Shroff and Shah believe that “coffee table books are also becoming increasingly popular, adding character, style and functionality to living rooms. “Not only do they make interesting conversation starters, but they also help level surfaces for smaller decorative elements 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 add historical interest and charm, captivating guests with their unique stories and intricate designs.”
Additionally, original pots with psychedelic swirls, peace signs or bold geometric motifs add a playful dimension to home decor. These vibrant planters inject a sense of fun and creativity into spaces, making them stand out.
Chauhan opines: “Handmade elements are intrinsic to sustainable luxury, bringing a unique flavor to interiors and encouraging 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 bring a classic softness and interest to spaces, moving away from the flat, shiny surfaces of the past. Instead, a wonderful play of textures brings the interiors to life, with various tones of wood, veneers, woven textiles and woven fabrics adding dynamic character to the spaces.
Chauhan shares, “A well-thought-out lighting plan is essential to transforming the way a space is experienced. “Proper lighting can dramatically alter the ambiance and functionality of a room, making it a crucial aspect of interior design.”
Finally, technological innovations are revolutionizing the creative world of home decoration. Advanced 3D visualization for bespoke furniture, textiles and interior spaces, along with AI in conceptualization and design processes, is taking center stage. These technologies allow for more precise and personalized design solutions, improving both the aesthetic and functional aspects of home décor.
