Summer 2016 Trends Watch – Soft Metallics and Botanical Themes
The summer months have started to make an appearance, which means it’s time to refresh your home decor with the current interior trends that are making an appearance this year. This season, we’re seeing a lot of soft metallic textures being used, along with a few touches of botanical themes such as plants and rough, plain, weaved textures. Botanical themes give off a sense of relaxation, bringing the outdoors in with plain textures, strong shades of green and beautiful green plant life.
