Modern & Antique Rugs: What You Need To Know For This Spring/Summer

As the warmth of Spring and Summer approaches, it’s the perfect time to inject some excitement into our homes through innovative interior design. The change in seasons often brings a shift in mood and energy, making this an ideal opportunity to refresh and revamp your living space. With that in mind, here are some radiant spring/summer interior design ideas to get you started.

Maximize Your Relaxation

As humans, we have an innate desire to surround ourselves with calming and natural environments that promote feelings of relaxation and serenity. One effective way to achieve this is by incorporating earthy tones and materials into our interior design. Envision a space bathed in warm whites and beige hues, complemented by the soothing sounds of nature’s quietness and the absence of distractions.

Natural elements like wood, stone, ceramic, and glass can also play a crucial role in creating a peaceful atmosphere. The sound of gentle sunlight streaming through open windows, accompanied by the fragrance of verdant plants and fresh air, can have a profound impact on our emotional well-being. By blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living spaces, we can create a seamless transition that fosters a sense of calmness and joy.

At Doris Leslie Blau, we’ve drawn inspiration from nature’s beauty to craft stunning antique rugs that harmonize perfectly with modern interior design. Our unique selection is designed to evoke a sensory experience that connects us to the natural world. Some of our most breathtaking pieces include the Contemporary Efflorescence Green and White Silk and Cotton Rug N11762. This exquisite piece features an idyllic meadow scene, where delicate flowers bloom towards the warmth of the sun.

The rug’s palette is a masterful blend of blues, reds, greens, oranges, and blacks, celebrating nature’s splendor and the beauty of life itself.

Contemporary Eskayel Tibetan Gray and White Hand Knotted Wool Rug N11610

This contemporary rug boasts a striking, borderless floral pattern that exudes a sense of serenity. The design is reminiscent of a watercolor sketch on chalk paper, with its smooth and vibrant aesthetic. The subtle interplay between the grey tones against an off-white backdrop adds to the rug’s calming ambiance, making it an ideal addition for any space seeking to introduce a touch of tranquility.

Simplicity

The main space seamlessly transitions into a gallery area, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood in for early morning yoga sessions. A statement live edge bed serves as a anchor point, grounding the room with its organic presence. We’re drawn to lush greenery and bringing the outdoors in. The bold, fresh blue grass-cloth behind the bed adds a sensory layer, delivering a visual and tactile experience that’s both striking and inviting.

White, White, White

While crisp whites remain a timeless choice for adding brightness to a space, this season’s interior design trends suggest that embracing ‘white on white’ can be surprisingly liberating. The contrast between the pure whites and darker wood accents creates a visual flow that keeps the eye engaged. We encourage you to take a calculated risk and trust in the elegance of this classic look.

The fear of potential spills should not deter you from experiencing the opulent freedom that ‘white on white’ brings to any home.

Pops of Colors

To elevate your interior design, incorporate pops of colors by combining and contrasting surfaces with bold patterns. This summer, consider rich blues, vibrant yellows, and warm oranges. However, it’s essential to strike a balance when introducing bright hues to avoid overwhelming the space. Our rug designs offer a perfect opportunity to add a burst of color that can transform your room.

To get started, try out these examples for yourself:

Modern Tulu Bright Yellow Hand Knotted Wool Rug (N11112)

The Tulu rug’s vibrant yellow hue is its most striking feature, capable of injecting a much-needed dose of energy into any modern space. Beyond its visual appeal, this rug also boasts a unique combination of high and low piles, which offers not only a pleasing aesthetic but also a satisfying tactile experience for those who come into contact with it.

Swedish Pile Rug

This stunning design boasts a unique combination of vibrant reds and blues, perfectly balanced by symmetrical corners. The true magic lies in the thoughtful application of colors, which skillfully avoids being overwhelmed by the background. Additionally, the impressive scale and exceptional quality of the Swedish pile used in its construction further elevate this piece to an art form.

Tropical Trends

This year’s tropical interior design trends bring a refreshing fusion of vibrant hues and fresh accents. The style is characterized by bold, citrus-inspired shades and playful prints featuring pineapples and palm trees. To create a harmonious balance, incorporate white or neutral tones as a foundation to let the brighter colors pop. If you prefer a more subtle approach, introduce a statement piece, such as an art installation or a unique side table, to add a touch of whimsy to your space.

The result is a welcoming and lively atmosphere that embodies the carefree essence of summer.

Freshen Up With Greens & Flowers

There’s something undeniably refreshing about the color green, especially during the spring season. It embodies a sense of renewal and rejuvenation, no matter how small its presence may be in a room. Whether you choose to paint a wall or restore an vintage piece with a splash of green, the result is a space that feels alive and revitalized throughout the year.
