The summer of 2023 is all about soaring temperatures and searing heat. So it’s the right time to adopt a whole new décor philosophy and enjoy the comfort and beauty of your home. Here are five new interior design ideas to transform your home into a haven of cosy comfort and sophistication.
1. Cool waters
The timeless elegance of blue and white interiors never goes out of style. This is also the perfect combination to elevate the aesthetic appeal and comfort of your home to counter the brutal blaze of Indian summers. Experts recommend sticking with a basic white theme this year and adding blue accessories. Pick your favourite from baby blue to cyan, teal to deep sapphire and go with shades of your pick. From indigo ceramics to denim upholstery, from stunning blue glass vases to blue and white mural tiles, your choices with this combination are limitless.
2. Glassy glow
Add a light, airy elegance to your home with glass. The innovative use of glass in your interior décor has numerous advantages as well. It adds to the illusion of space and reduces dark shadow spots in your home, optimising natural lighting. From frosted glass partitions to lacquered glass closets, from frosted glass windows to tinted glass table tops - you will find different varieties of glass panes and accessories to serve different functions. Think out of the box and add mirrors or glass-framed photos to your living space for the right touch of sophistication.
3. Earthy tones
Coral, mauve, peach, ochre, olive, sienna, sage - earth tones bring both beauty and relaxation to our homes. They soothe the soul and add warmth to the interiors. This is the summer look that will indulge the nature lover in you. Match your earthy interior design ideas with cane furniture or woodwork in ebony or sheesham finish to elevate them. Earthy tones also go well with brass and gold fixtures and accents, adding a touch of luxury to your home.
4. Textured pastels
Pastel and off-white shades have been trending for quite some time. Adding texture to your pastel interiors adds character and elegance. This is one of the favourite interior design ideas this season. Neutral palettes are the perfect combination of comfort and luxury. Combine these with elaborate crown mouldings, textured wall tiles, shaded kitchen backsplash and indigenous fabric upholstery. From ivory to taupe, eggshell blues to meadow greens - neutral shades offer a wide variety both in terms of wall colour and accessory materials. Pair these up with light furniture for an authentic summer look.
5. Clean and green
Owning a green home goes far beyond construction processes. It involves opening yourself up to the advantages that plants and natural life bring to your interiors. And summer is just the right time to do this. Get rid of your collection of bric-a-brac, trinkets, and souvenirs, which only create a cramped space. Replace them with indoor plants which offer a clean and fresh look while improving the indoor air quality. Add freshly cut flowers to your rooms to add just the pop of colours they need in the sweltering summers. From Philodendrons to Spider plants, Staghorn ferns to Peperomia, find the right-sized plants for every corner and watch your home come alive.
Coming out of the long, stressful pandemic era, 2023 is a time for bright, new beginnings. Look up Pinterest boards and Instagram threads for some wonderful interior inspirations. Your interior decor idea should bring you joy and comfort and should resonate with your personality.
