Summer Home Tips & Trends 2008

Summer 2008 Home Trends focus on bright & bold color, a wicker revival and the 'oh so popular' outdoor room! 

Bright colors. Not only are bright, bold colors hot in fashion, they are also very chic for the home this season. Paint the entire room if you’re feeling bold, or if you just want to “test” it out, try painting an accent wall or add a few accessories like pillows, glassware or rugs.

 

 

 

 

Zebra prints in color. Long gone are the days of black and white zebra prints. Colored zebra prints are appearing all over the home this season on mirror frames, pillows, shower curtains, dinnerware, chairs and on ottomans!

 

 

 

 

Outdoor room. Last summer, the outdoor room was all the rage and it still holds true for the summer of 2008! Liven up your patio or deck by adding some potted plants, an outdoor sofa, bright all-weather throw pillows, or an outdoor rug.

 

 

 

 

Wicker revival. This ‘70s trend is making a comeback and it’s easy to add around your home many different ways. Chairs, baskets, trays, hanging baskets, glassware or chargers are a few revival ideas for you!
