Trendy Home Décor to Try This Summer

Bader Obeid • July 8, 2016

With summer comes the opportunity to perk up your home with bright seasonal décor. Here are some of this summer hottest home design trends, brought to you by the trusted Carrollton flooring and design experts at Carpet Mills of America.

Bright Colors

If you’ve been thinking about using a bold new color in your home, summer is the ideal time to do it. Vibrant paint colors are the perfect way to celebrate the warm season, and the abundance of natural light really puts it on display. If you’re not sold on painting the walls and changing the entire look of a room, try an area rug or colorful drapes.

Floral Prints

Both on the runway and in the home, billowy floral prints are en vogue again. Colorful floral prints are a classic way to add the vibrancy of summer to your home. Try accenting a wall with floral wallpaper or adding an attractive statement piece like a couch with floral print upholstery.

Raffia

Raffia evokes images of faraway tropical islands and hammocks, and this year it’s made its way into designers’ hearts. Evoke the beach getaway spirit with raffia throw pillows, side tables, place mats, and chairs.

Technicolor Stripes

Playful Technicolor stripes are another summery trend to try out in 2016 because multiple colors can drive out the dreariness of the cooler months. You can find these stripes in items like bookshelves, vases, dinnerware, and also in abstract wall art.

All White

If Technicolor isn’t your thing, you can always swing in the opposite direction with an all-white palette. After living through months of clouds blocking out the sun, it’s natural to gravitate toward bright white spaces. Liven up your home by installing all-white cabinetry, drapes, or stone tile flooring.

As a design consultant, I spend a lot of time guiding clients through the finishing touches that make their remodels feel both beautiful and lasting. More often than not, I recommend a look that’s soft, timeless, and effortlessly elegant. That look now has a name: the cashmere kitchen — and it’s still going strong. So, what is a cashmere kitchen ? Think of it like your favorite cashmere sweater: soft, classic, comfortable, and a little bit luxurious — without being flashy. Some designers even call it a soft neutral kitchen or a timeless kitchen. The idea is the same: subtle luxury that feels as good as it looks. Key Elements of a Cashmere Kitchen Cabinets : Warm neutrals such as soft greige (J&K Pebble) paired with a warm wood accent like J&K Butterscotch. Countertops : White quartz with gentle gold and brown veining for a polished yet understated look. Hardware : Champagne bronze for subtle warmth; matte black for contrast on darker cabinets. Floors : Light, natural hardwood like Regal Alton to keep the space airy. Backsplash : Glossy, handmade-look tile (SOHO Surfaces) that adds texture and visual interest. Overall feel : Everything flows together. No harsh contrasts — just understated details that shine. This is what makes the cashmere kitchen such a perfect example of a comfort luxe kitchen : elegant, but inviting. Why Homeowners Love a Cashmere Kitchen A cashmere kitchen design checks a lot of boxes for today’s homeowners: Timeless appeal – Won’t feel dated in a few years. Easy to personalize – Add your own touch with lighting, décor, or barstools. Resale - friendly – Neutral palettes appeal to a wide audience. Relaxing atmosphere – The mood is calm, cozy, and inviting. It’s the perfect balance of modern and classic — Shaker cabinet doors provide tradition, quartz countertops keep it current, and metallic hardware adds polish. Many homeowners see it as a classic warm neutral kitchen because it feels both stylish and practical. Cashmere Kitchen vs. Transitional Kitchen
