Summer 2012 Interior Design Trends by Robert Nassar Design

The winter blues is finally over and summer has officially arrived. Along with new summer fashions come new trends in interior design. Interior designer Robert Nassar will help you embrace the new season with new colors, textures and technology for a bright and vibrant summer home.

One of the biggest trends for interior design this summer is color blocking. When done correctly it can have a major effect. Create a fresh and airy feeling when you combine pastel shades with deeper navy furnishings. Throw in a feature piece in a bright color to draw attention to the space. The most important feature in color blocking is being consistent with saturation, hue and brilliance. Make sure to avoid competing forms, lines and shapes and keep your design as simple as possible, letting the colors be the main feature.

While it would be perfect if summer consisted of a cloudless sky, the fact is summer can be cloudy and chilly at some point, however with the right interior design you can incorporate heat into a room. For the least noticeable option, choose a sleek heating system or for a modern trend choose a multifunctional heating system that also works as a focal point in the room.

One trend that seems to cross over seasons is the use of comfortable textures. The right interior design incorporates chunky and plush textiles for a feeling of comfort. Chunky knits are the latest craze this summer and you will be sure to notice some thick yarn patterns. Use a mixture of these textures in your living room space for a lazy summer feel. While you want your interior design scheme to be comfortable it also needs to be bold. The use of strong geometric patterns creates the feeling of structure and a modern aesthetic.

While these summer interior design trends are a refreshing take on any room, they are useful enough to stick around for many seasons to come. Let interior designer Robert Nassar enhance your room with comfort and creativity in the simplest way possible.
