The Hottest Interiors Trend This Summer 2018
The hottest interiors trend this summer has been bubbling in the background for a while – we've seen a flurry of head-to-toe kaleidoscopic colours in all things Frida Kahlo inspiredand highlighter hues, the Hawaiian shirt has had a remix withHouse of Hackney's tropical patterns printed onto &OtherStories clothing, meanwhileEmma J Shipley's maximalist designs adorned Clarke & Clarke's plump armchairs and we've seen a surge of new tropical prints and jungle-inspired homeware. So it should come as no surprise that one of the biggest trends taking the interiors world by storm this season are all things tropical.
Leading the tropical troupe,Seletti’s Volcano armchair is a four-legged vision of Polynesian perfection.Up for a holiday romance? Look no further than Jan Constantine’s appliquéd Love Birds cushion – the perfect match for Rosanna Lonsdale’s pineapple-stamped Aloha lamp. And with all that tropical goodness, you’ll be wearing your summer holiday on your sleeve (or sofa).
It’s going to be a long, hot summer…
LOVE BIRDS
Infuse your bed or sofa with a dash of the jungle with Jan Constantine's Tropical Love Birds cushion with green and red tropical foliage hand embroidered onto felt.
Tropical Love Birds cushion, £120, Jan Constantine at AMARA
PAJAKI
Although not technically tropical, Poland's Pajaki paper chandeliers inject instant fun and colour. These ornate hanging decorations have been around for hundreds of years, originallycrafted from humble and easily accessible materials including straw, paper, feathers, yarn, scraps of ribbon and string to brighten Polish homes during long, cold winters. We think they look just as fab (if not better) hung above the dining table or on the terrace during the summer.
