Trends in Decorative Home Accessories for Spring & Summer

Home decoration has become a popular hobby for Americans, especially since the pandemic. Statistics show that some 4.7 million people now work remotely at least part-time, which is a major reason why renovations and decorative changes have been embraced at a higher rate than in the past. If you are the type of homeowner who loves to jazz up your interiors seasonally, set aside a small sum and investing in the following seasonal trending home accessories.

The era of the new normal is marked by a significantly greater interest in health in all its aspects. For home fragrance and ambience, for instance, paraffin candles (which emit toxic chemicals when burned) are being replaced with natural candles made from soy and beeswax. Top-selling varieties include crackling candles (which contain wooden wicks) and candles containing therapeutic-grade essential oil. Trending fragrances include orange, jasmin, lavender, and bergamot.

The increased amount of time spent at home in 2020 and 2021 led many to show a greater appreciation for nature and outdoor living. Homeowners in the US and beyond are renovating patios and gardens to create attractive relaxation nooks where they can chill out and socialize with friends instead of going out. Features to include in home patio and garden areas include sustainable teak chairs and sofas, fragrant plants like lavender, natural dried cherry blossoms, wild flowers, and outdoor fire pits. Those wishing to create Zen spaces are also incorporating features like outdoor fountains, since the look and sound of water are known to lower stress levels.

Furthermore, if you're planning to get a chiminea for outdoor cooking and entertaining, you can check online or find reliable suppliers to get the best quality at competitive prices. Adding a chiminea to your patio can bring a lot of warmth and ambiance to your outdoor space. It can also be an excellent way to add some extra cooking space, making entertaining a large group of people easier. Plus, with the perfect setup, you can create a cozy outdoor gathering spot to relax, enjoy quality time with friends and family, and successfully achieve your dream garden.

Bring in the outside word indoors by replacing opaque doors with sliding glass doors and by filling your home with greenery. Place pots of various sizes on shelves and decorate tables, choose large statement pots for empty corner spaces, and hang pots from the ceiling for a garden-like feel in your interiors. The biophilic design movement encourages the use of natural materials like reclaimed wood. It also involves selecting natural prints for everything from wallpaper to furniture fabrics and small accessories like cushions. Green is also one of the season’s biggest trends. Give your walls a fresh lick of paint in colors like moss and olive green.

Don’t worry about matching accessories or sticking to established color schemes. The maximalist trend is in, and it is a veritable celebration of various colors, prints, and styles. Imagine a bedroom with blue sailor stripes and a paisley quilt, or floral wallpaper and chairs upholstered in contrasting flower styles and hues. Maximalism embraces personality, meaning, and memories. It invites home dwellers to decorate their home with items collected during their travels and with eclectic accessories and pieces of art.

Spring/Summer 2022 represents the ‘return to the new normal’ for millions of people. Homeowners are keen to embellish their homes with exciting trends like biophilic design and sustainability. They are also taking a maximalist approach to style, choosing decorative pieces that hold meaning and that represent important moments in their lives.
