Interior design trends to get you ready for summer

#1. All white

Cover your walls with white ceramic tiles or paint them in the same shade, and see the light stream into your home. This works particularly well in the living room, bedroom or kitchen. Another trick – use linen curtains, natural blinds or mirrors to make your rooms feel bigger and brighter.

#2. Natural textures

Use natural or ceramic (Par-ker® by Porcelanosa) wood flooring combined with light textiles and prints, wicker furniture, tinted glass vases or jute rugs to give your house a more summery feel.

#3. Natural light and LEDs

Move your furniture around and leave more free space between your different zones, and you'll get a brighter, fresher look. You can achieve the same effect by replacing your traditional bulbs with LED lights or festoon lighting - and you'll also be consuming energy more responsibly and efficiently.

#4. Lively colours

Colors like yellows, greens, oranges, reds, browns or blues are other shades you could try in your home. This works especially well in rooms such as your living room, or in outdoor spaces like terraces. You could also add plants and flowers such as fig trees, aloe vera or geraniums. Not only will they brighten up your rooms, they'll also purify the air and regulate the temperature of each room.

#5. Infinite ceramics

Create the infinite look with materials like porcelain stoneware or large format ceramic tiles (HIGHKER®), uniting spaces under the same aesthetic and ending any sense of separation between areas.

#6. Improved cross-ventilation

Your best bet for cooling down your home is to use a cross-ventilation system, orienting your walls and doors northwards. We also recommend installing Butech's ventilated façade systems and ceramics in neutral colours, or the Krion® mineral compact which improves thermal insulation and reduces energy consumption by up to 25%.
