Endless Summer
The Endless Summer design trend is a tropical escape where you don't have to leave the comfort of your own home. This trend features a bold, cheerful, saturated color palette that suggests year-round summertime. With the mood-enhancing benefits of sunlight, this trend encapsulates vacation vibes.
Juicy Color Palette
The juicy color palette for this trend is derived from shades you would see in a sunrise or sunset. Reminiscent of a hot summer day, these colors are vibrant and provide an instant mood boost.
Fiery, Yet Refreshing
These bold and sunny colors are combined with cooling effects of blue, lending the mind to think of taking a dip in a swimming pool on a hot summer day.
Happy Hues
Designer Brian Patrick Flynn explains that this trend will encapsulate joyous hues. “Happy vibes. The washed-out neutrals with white that have dominated the design world, those have caused the pendulum to swing the other direction to embrace happy hues.”
Tropical Escape
Home will begin to look more like destination travel, with decor reminiscent of a tropical escape.
Bold Colors and Patterns
Not only does this trend feature a daring color palette, it also embraces eye-catching patterns. From cacti blossoms to palm prints, this trend embraces warm-locale motifs to fully cocoon you in radiating warmth.
Palm Wallpaper
Incorporating palm motifs through wallpaper or other applications will exude a year-round tropical vibe that cannot be ignored.
Maximalist Junglescape
Homeowners expand on the jungle plant trend by creating enclosed spaces — indoors and out — using plants.
Ribbed Effects
Not only does this pattern add drama to any space or object, it also provides texture that can't be ignored.
Rounded Edges
Less harsh angles and rounded edges will make headway in this trend.
Lacquered Finishes
This glossy finish reflects light and provides a sleek look that will make its way into the Endless Summer design trend.
At-Home Pampering
Corey Damen Jenkins says, “Life is short — you shouldn’t have to go to a hotel to feel pampered.”
Cacti Flowers
With its radiant pink blossom and gorgeous green stem, including this motif in your design will radiate warmth and lend a tropical vibe to your space.
Terra Cotta Tile
Terra Cotta tiles exude earth tones and bring a warm, natural look underfoot. This material is inexpensive and durable, making it an easy choice.
Abstract Shapes
Abstract shapes, curves, wobbly lines and splodgy shapes add a sense of fun and movement to this trend.
Scalloped Design
Look for scalloped drapery, bedding and wall treatments throughout this trend.
Candy House Color
A combination of soft pastels layered with deep rich raspberries and goldenrod yellows defines this sugary trend.
Stripes
The stripe pattern never goes out of style, but is going to become more in vogue throughout the Endless Summer design trend.
Pattern on Pattern Play
This trend will see different prints being combined in one space, creating a maximalist dream.
Woven Materials
A unique blend of bright, saturated colors with natural materials like bamboo, cane, raffia and rattan, defines the vacation vibes seen throughout this trend.
Macrame
Bringing texture and warmth into the home, macrame will be seen throughout the Endless Summer design trend.
At-Home Tiki Bar
Endless Summer means piña coladas every day, served from your very own tiki bar.
Sunshine-Inspired Interiors
This trend gets its bright spirit from cheerful colors and arcs and curves that evoke the sun.
Blending Indoor and Outdoor Spaces
Furthering the indoor/outdoor vibe, we will see more luxurious outdoor spaces that are fully equipped to host a party. Enjoying the benefits of vitamin D is key to this trend.
Lush Plantings Abound
Lush foliage provides the feel of an exotic tropical destination, close to home.
Glamorous Poolscapes
Because spending time at home has become more commonplace, investing in creating luxurious outdoor spaces will continue to rise. Garden designer Fernando Wong says, “Resort-style pools and amenities will continue to be in high demand.”
Outdoor Escapes
Outdoor environments that encourage al fresco dining, picnics and socializing as the sun sets are important to this trend.
Upscale Relaxation
Creating a relaxing outdoor space, reminiscent of a luxury resort, will prove to be well worth the investment and an important feature in the Endless Summer trend.
