Summer is just around the corner and at Villa ArenA we have spotted the trends that will make your home and garden irresistible this summer. From cool colour palettes to trendy accessories and sustainable materials: we show you how to effortlessly combine these summer styles with a touch of vintage cosiness. Read on for our top 5 summer trends and tips to apply ‘old meets new’ in your interior and outdoor space. Want to see this trend in real life? Then visit our inspiration square in Villa ArenA full of vintage decorated furniture!

1. Soft pastel shades with a retro touch

Pastel shades have been popular for a while, but this summer we're opting for deeper, saturated variants inspired by the 60s and 70s. Think soft mint green, powder pink and mustard yellow. Combine a modern terracotta rug with a vintage armchair in a retro print, or purchase a set of metal bistro chairs in old pink for the terrace. The contrast between new and old gives your space character and softness.

Tip: Don't want to change your entire house? You can go a long way with pastel cushions and accessories.

2. Natural rattan and woven accents

Rattan, wicker and woven materials were already hot last year, but remain the summer staple. This summer we're mixing new rattan lounge chairs with authentic, weathered rattan lamps or baskets. The result? A warm, boho vibe that invites you to relax.

Tip: You might not expect it, but rattan is also available in Villa ArenA.

3. Upcycled and sustainable design

Sustainability remains key. Upcycling is hipper than ever: give old furniture a second life by painting it in fresh colours, or put a vintage cabinet in the shed to function as an outdoor bar. Combine this with new, environmentally friendly accessories such as recycled cushions or bio-based outdoor lighting.

Tip: Organise a swap event with friends or neighbours and exchange vintage finds for a fresh look in your interior.

4. Tropical prints meet retro graphics

From lush palm leaves to graphic designs from the 50s: this summer we mix both in textiles and wallpaper. Dare to transform your space with a wallpaper wall full of tropical vibes, and compensate with a retro TV cabinet or vintage stool for a playful contrast.

Tip: Don't limit yourself to walls: plaids and even tableware with these prints give your summer look an instant upgrade

5. Outdoor living: from lounge set to picnic charm

The terrace and garden become extensions of your living room. Choose a modern, comfortable lounge set in neutral colours and combine it with vintage accessories: think of a set lounge table with coloured 70s wine glasses, an old-fashioned cool box on wheels or a retro picnic blanket for ultimate summer fun.

Tip: Did you know that Villa ArenA also has a large showroom full of beautiful garden furniture? Definitely worth a look for inspiration!
