Summer is nearly here and it’s time to get ready to heat things up!  So why not update your interior living spaces so they can reflect the season’s playful and relaxed mood.  Check out these 5 sizzling home design trends for summer to get you started with style!

Bright White

All-white color palettes are popular for summer, especially in bathrooms and kitchens. White walls, counters, and accents create a bright, open feel. Furnish bright white rooms with light, easy furniture and fixtures like acrylic and metal to really open up the space.

Bold Furniture

You may decide that all-white isn’t for you, but you don’t have to forgo the benefits of white entirely. Use crisp white paint for the walls, and instead, opt for bold color furniture and accents in tertiary colors. Some of the most popular tertiary colors for summer are magenta, violet, amber, teal/aqua, and lime green.

Playful Sculptures

Add personality to your home with playful sculptures that speak to your own personality. Think whimsical, unusual, and outside the box when it comes to sculptures. Choose pieces that represent you, your style, and your home rather than traditional matched pieces.

Painted Tile

One of the hottest trends hitting the home decorating scene right now is painted concrete tiles. The designs range from basic patterns to intricate details, and are accessible to practically every budget. Painted tiles also are suitable for a variety of design schemes, including modern or vintage.

Color Pops

Another popular design element this season is small-yet-bold pops of color. In otherwise muted or neutral rooms, add one small pop of bold, brilliant color, such as an accent chair, painting, throw pillows, or accent rug.

What Our Clients Say

“We received 2 offers in less than a week and a half.  The property was listed with vacant photos for over 220 days on the market with no offers.  Many buyers passed on the house but after posting the virtual photos, they changed their minds and we definitely saw an increase in buyer traffic!”

TRISH BRADLEY, Agent | Rutledge Properties – Massachusettes

“We list all our vacant properties with virtually staged photos by VSP and we always get a contract within the first 2 -4 weeks after posting the listing along with the photos online.  Other agents comment on our virtual photos and we have referred numerous agents to you all because of the success we have had with your company! “

CYNDI OHRT, Realtor | Keller Williams Realty – Virginia

“Your virtual staging product is sensational! The efficiency condo I had listed was in a community of 60+ units for sale and had no offers.  After posting the 3 virtually staged photos of my unit, I got an offer within 5 days and beat out all the competing units listed in the same price range.  Thanks for a great job!”

SUE MILLER, Realtor | Re/Max of Naperville – Illinois

“The unfurnished townhome we had listed had been on the market for 4 months until we decided to engage in virtual staging.  I had the townhome professionally photographed and then had the photos virtually staged and they were so realistic.  We had a binding contract within 2 weeks after posting the virtual photos!”

ERIC BROOKS, Realtor | Wydler Brooks Real Estate – Virginia

“My vacant property listing sat for about 3 weeks on the market and after posting the virtual photos by Virtually Staging Properties, I saw a 50% increase in buyer traffic and we got an offer just 1 day later.  The buyer’s agent thought virtual staging was a great idea and was going to consider using it for their vacant listings.”
