5 Interior Design Fabric Ideas For Summer

Looking for fabrics that will be trending in interior design in 2024? 

Combined with Pantone’s Colour of the Year: Peach Fuzz and our very own Trends Forecast for this year, we will take you through some on-trend patterns that will be commonly seen in interiors in 2024, as well as ways you can incorporate these interior design ideas into your space. 

FLORAL DESIGNS THAT ARE TRENDING IN INTERIOR SPACES

From large-scale botanical, to bright, captivating floral prints, interior designers are featuring these patterns to create a mid-century, retro-style with a modern twist. Fresh and vibrant, florals are perfect summer prints to bring into your space this season as they are blooming with colour and are bound to liven any room.

Our Harlowe, Zanzibar, Florencia, Picton and Eden fabrics are just a few collections that fit into this interior design idea wonderfully, bringing the beauty of nature indoors. To truly embrace an on-trend theme for 2024, try styling these fabrics with Pantone’s Peach Fuzz for added warmth and a summery aesthetic. 

FASHIONABLE CHECK DESIGNS FOR INTERIORS

Check patterns are timeless and a must-have summer print. Not only do they offer subtle depth and versatility, they also bring a relaxed feel to interiors. However, moving away from the norm, the broken check is on-trend in 2024, bringing a modern edge to a traditional classic. 

For a contemporary yet comforting feel, we offer ranges such as Matacawa, Tilba, Arlington and Salford for either an intricate or casual style. Tying perfectly into the broken check design, Weave Home’s Lorenzo cushion is a statement piece that will sit beautifully into this modern theme.

CHINTZ DESIGNS FOR A RETRO-STYLE INTERIOR

Bringing the 1980s back in style, the classic Chintz pattern is another print that will be a popular fabric choice this year in interior design. Originating in India in the 16th century, chintz fabrics can be styled alone for a nostalgic statement piece, or paired with pops of colour and other intricate designs — such as motifs — for an intricate, yet playful aesthetic. 

Also perfect as a summer print, we offer ranges including Lottie, Odilia, Malmsbury and Fairhaven that will suit both retro styles and modern spaces that want to embrace and reminisce the past for a sense of familiarity.

CREATE A PLAYFUL INTERIOR WITH GEOMETRIC PATTERNS

Geometric patterns are a great way to incorporate playful shapes for a unique, yet stylish setting, tying into our Creative Curation Trend of Maximalism. From circles and hexagons, to more complex, interwoven squiggles, geometric designs are becoming more popular in interiors as people are welcoming the digital age of edge and eclectic finishes for a visually striking effect. 

Many summer prints feature geometrics for its fun nature and bold style, making them perfect for creating exciting themes both indoor and outdoor. Circles, Arncliffe, Grand and Esperance fabrics are great fabric ideas to achieve this look.  

ABSTRACT PATTERN FOR AN ARTISTIC INTERIOR STYLE

Recently, interior designers have been collaborating with artists to create large-scale, abstract art designs for dramatic upholstery pieces, such as sofas. We find this interior design idea inspiring and believe this concept will become a fashionable interior trend for those seeking unique art in the work of upholstery.

Simple yet effective, these unique fabric designs are bound to create captivating settings — the chosen upholstery piece being the grand feature and centre of display. To create a similar style, we recommend incorporating abstract fabrics such as Hiranni, Medina, Easton and Ginza for a playful yet sophisticated aesthetic with an artistic touch.
