Summer is a time of brightness and color, a period in which we socialize
more, but also need the space to cool off and relax. As such, people are often
waiting for summer to beautify their space by injecting some color, texture,
and light into their interior.

To achieve a
harmonious atmosphere of relaxation and summer warmth, interior enthusiasts can
tailor their space with outdoor-indoor pieces, and a recognizably summery color
scheme. Some of the top interior design trends of this year may help us achieve
that. Wicker and rattan have made a reappearance, as have more modern design
interpretations, such as geometric features and luxe lighting.
Here are some of
the key interior design trends of 2022 that may complement your interior space
this summer.
1. Wickerwork pieces
Many might recognize wickerwork furniture from the stereotypical image of
street side Parisian cafés, but rattan furniture has a much richer and wider
history. It is, in fact, one of the oldest furniture-making materials in human
history, with archaeologists having uncovered evidence of woven rattan objects
dating back to the
Neolithic period.
Anyone considering
investing in some new furniture this summer should seek out a rattan piece;
they can be used to give a natural texture to your home space or to create
relaxed outdoor settings.
Rattan chairs are a
particular favorite, offering a luxe-70s look to any home. As a sturdy yet
intricate design, they can be dressed up with soft fabrics to offer an inviting
social space for guests, whether on a balcony or in communal space.
2. Geometric features
Geometric patterns and designs have long been popular, classically finding
space in bathroom tiles or statement wallpaper. However, over the past year,
the taste for geometric patterns has taken on an oversized form, with large
hand-painted wall arches becoming a mainstay in many millennial homes.
Creating your own
wall arch is a fairly simple and cost-effective endeavor; again, it is a trend
that can be applied to both an indoor and an outdoor space.
To carry out the
project, all you need is a levelling stick, some masking tape, a pencil, some
string and a paint color of your choice.
Start off by deciding how high you want your arch to be and lay the tape
vertically (and leveled) up to the height of the base of the curve. Attach the
string to your pencil, pinning the other end of the string to the wall at
midpoint between the tops of your vertical tape. Use the attached pencil to
trace a circular arch head
corresponding with the tape, and you will have
formed an arch. All that is left to do is fill the outline with paint, using a
color that complements your space, adding brightness and warmth.
Wall arches can
make a particularly fun addition to roof spaces or verandas, with earthy
tones of red and burnt orange being particularly popular. Much in the vein of
rattan, they can be used to give a 70s look when paired with wall-mounted
plants and bamboo shelving.
Part of the appeal of a hand-painted feature wall is
that it is a non-permanent body of color that can be altered or erased as your
taste changes.
Arches also
provide a fun architectural feature, mimicking classic geometric architectural
designs in a contemporary and novel way.
3. Luxe lighting
A key element of every home
is its lighting, especially in the summer months, when we like to socialize
with friends and maximize our at-home social spaces. It is essential to create
an inviting and relaxed area with the help of natural and artificial light
sources.
Whether you opt to go for the softer natural light
of candles or the long-lasting options provided by lamps and string lights, the
incorporation and placement of lights is key to achieving one’s desired
atmosphere.
I like to draw inspiration from Dali’s outdoor area
in
Jabal Luweibdeh, where fairy-light wrapped trees brighten up the evening
whilst softening the space.
If you want to incorporate an eco-friendly element to your
light design, seek out the solar powered options available at Ikea. As Jordan
has an abundance of summer sun, it is well worth capitalizing on the hot days
to help create evenings to be enjoyed with friends.ag
