Fabric Colors To Fall For In Your Home This Season
Are you feeling it, too? With summer here, there’s this irresistible urge to refresh things. And — because it’s summer — that urge is calling for fabrics that feel sunny, like vibrant colors, cheerful patterns, and playful bits of joy.
Whether chilling on a patio, porch, or balcony, or happily cracking open a new beach-read by your favorite windowside indoor perch, your upholstery can feed the vibes of the season and set the summertime scene.
Let’s check out some more of the sunniest hues and patterns ready to serve you and your design vibes this summer.
Shifting Your Home’s Style For Summer Without Breaking Your Budget
Let’s start with tackling some of those internal objections about updating your vibe to see if we can convince them to take a vacation of their own. Because, just like updating your vibe is about your vibe and not just some expert’s trend, stepping up the summertime in your style is about honoring your budget, too.
Which is totally doable. And — here at the largest upholstery fabric store online — it’s one of the things we love most about upholstery (and reupholstering). It’s as affordable as you need it to be when you want to revive your look and lift your spirits. With all that in mind, here are…
5 Budget-Friendly Quick Tips:
- Start Small: Seasonal design changes can be on a spectrum, from throw pillows to full sectionals with everything from curtains, armchairs, dining chairs, and more in between. So, pick something small, play with colors and patterns, and build as you like from there.
- Choose Performance: With things like intense sunlight and increased moisture, summer makes unique demands of fabrics. Happily, today’s fabrics are built for performance, you can rely on brands like Sunbrella as well as a range of fade, weather, spill, and bacteria resistant outdoor fabrics. For your indoor and outdoor needs, Crypton fabrics are up to all of life’s challenges so you can settle into summer and enjoy.
- Pick Your Palette: As you’ll see ahead, there are loads of fun, uniquely summer “trending” tones. But those are simply inspiration. Choose a palette that connects you to what summer means to you, whether that’s earthy and mellow or bright and engergizing or points in between. Want to redo everything in a pineapple print fabric? Go for it. Just feeling some accents in navy blue ikat? Then that’s what’s yours to do.
- Play With Pattern: Playing with patterns can mean simply taking neutral furniture and adding throw pillows in something like a Cozumel orange and rust floral fabric or a contemporary fabric like a sangria toned greek key pattern. Or perhaps big pieces in bold terrace sun aqua blue and gold stripes with throw pillows in even more patterns like a spring green abstract geometric pattern woven fabric. You’re more likely to use what brings you pleasure — so do that.
- Refresh Not Replace: And all of the above can be done with your existing furniture. You spent all that time trying to find it in the first place, why replace it now? Instead, refresh lived-in pieces by reupholstering or using slipcovers. It’s eco-friendly, budget-friendly, and frees you to enjoy your summer sooner rather than later.
Inspiration Awaits In The Colors Making A Design Splash This Summer
Now that we’ve talked through some ways to approach a seasonal design refresh, let’s talk through some of the colors that can help you bring those summer feels this year.
It’ll come as no surprise to you that summer 2025’s trending colors have pretty bright and energized personalities. But you may be interested in learning that those colorful “personalities” find their origin story in earthiness. Because the priority this year is to create spaces that blur the lines between indoor and outdoors, fostering wellness and supporting your sense of relaxation and renewal.
With colors, that means less crackle and more ahhhhhh. Use that as your compass. Let’s look at some ideas for inspiration:
- Buttery Yellow
Clearly, the defining characteristic of summertime is sunshine. So yellow is a consistent theme most years in some form or another. Well, in keeping with earthy tones that are so popular, warm, welcoming, and grounding buttery yellow comes bearing gifts. Get there in your home’s design with a sunshine yellow woven jacquard or golden patio sun abstract geometric pattern.
- Drift Away
Oceanside, poolside, or sitting on your balcony with your feet in a tub of ice water, aquatic blues are one of summer’s best gifts evoking the calming hues of the sea. This year, go deep. Like pacific blue Sunbrella canvas or a lake blue leaves pattern fabric, both offering that connection to water and the sense of liberating expanse it offers.
- Sunset Serenity
Earth tones aren’t simply about looking down at your feet, they’re about looking up, too. And, in the summertime, one of the most delicious moments is that golden sunset hour. Lean into those kinds of rich oranges to offer the deep breath in your space that a sunset uniquely brings. Try a fabric like a solid tone sunset orange canvas or a Moroccan tile pattern sunset orange jacquard.
- Leafy Greens
Turns out, getting your greens is good for more than your body. There’s a rich renewal that comes from the greens in the lush botanicals that are so thriving this time of year. Bring that color into your upholstery choices with things like a plain fern green woven fabric, morning sky green and white stripes, or fern green botanical pattern.
- Purple Passion
Outside of a grape icy pop, you may not think of purple as a summer color. But this year, it is. It adds a sense of mood and luxuriousness that supports wellness. Particularly when it comes in a deep, earthy jewel tone like plum purple vinyl (total) performance fabric or an iris purple Crypton tweed to brighten indoors or a sunroom.
