With California on track to fully reopen for business on June 15, things are looking up. Why not celebrate with a decor update inspired by our favorite fashion trends? Brighten your summer with a little joy, a dash of fun — and a breath of fresh air.
Joy!

Squiggly Lines
While a classic stripe is perpetually in style in clothing and home design, this summer’s trendsetters are embracing the wavy and the wiggly. Squiggly lines, ruffles and swirls in unexpected places add a touch of whimsy and playfulness to any space.

Plants
During the pandemic, many of us took up gardening and doubled (even tripled) the number of plants in our homes. If you haven’t jumped on the plant bandwagon, there are plenty of ways to incorporate florals and foliage into your home decor. Embrace the trend by adding botanical-inspired items — prints, throws, wallpaper — to your favorite rooms.
