Terracotta

Designer Breegan Jane tells us she’s all about the terracotta, especially since it so beautifully reflects nature in the summertime.

“Pairing a burnt orange with more muted tones, whites, or creams creates a really beautiful, summertime vibe,” Jane says. “When in doubt, think of the water, sun, and sand for inspiration in nearly any space.”

Soft Pinks

Alex Alonso of mr. alex TATE Design says that he’s all about the soft pinks this season.

“As of late, we’ve had a lot of clients leaning into soft pinks when we recommend them,” Alonso tells us. “There’s something about a slightly worn pink that is feeling right for summer.”

Christina Manzo of Decorist wholeheartedly agrees. “I love the soft blush pink that is popping up in design this summer,” she says. “Whether this is used in wall paint or as a focal point with a gorgeous blush pink sectional, it is the perfect addition to any space for that light, airy, and timeless feel. It seamlessly works in any aesthetic and complements various trends.”

Shades of Green

Along with soft pinks, Alonso says he also has a soft spot for muted greens.

“With green, the deep, saturated hues are a bit harsh, so the wistful allure of a sandy, faded green is just the vibe we’re all feeling,” Alonso explains. “It complements a timeless, eclectic décor or an of-the-moment sentiment with just the right amount of mystery.”

Courtney Quinn of Color Me Courtney agrees. “I’ve always been a huge fan of green (I once unsuccessfully campaigned to change Kelly Green to Courtney Green) so I’m really excited that it has been on trend this season,” she says. “BEHR’s Congo is a nice, natural shade that helps bring the liveliness of my favorite plants and outdoor greenery indoors for an energizing yet calming boost.”
