The weather has finally turned, ushering in the desire to bring the outdoors in by opening up and brightening our homes. Summer 2025 is all about natural elements and vibrancy, biophilic design, rich jewel tones, maximalism, mixing patterns, one-of-a-kind show pieces, curated walls, layered lighting and more–opulence reigns supreme.
Here are our top 10 picks to make the most of these summer trends and to freshen up your space without overcommitting or breaking your budget.
Bring nature in
With the warmer temperatures and the vibrant colours of nature returning, there is a desire to blend the line where your indoor space ends and the great outdoors begin. Opportunities to leave curtains drawn, and windows and doors wide open so natural light can spill in is one way to make the most of this season and create a visible connection with nature in your home.

Pattern drenching
Pattern drenching is picking up steam and sweeping through the design world. While one approach is to pick a single colour and work that in with multiple bold patterns and textures on walls and furniture (even ceilings, if you're feeling brave), you can also lean into using complementary colours too. In this case, while the idea is that more is more, pattern drenching also isn't all or nothing, so you can find the degree of business that works for you.
