Sun’s out, spirits up - and just like that, the summer season is here! 

At MH London, we believe your home should reflect the vibe of the season. And if summer 2025 had a look, it would be: airy, relaxed, and quietly joyful. Whether you are enjoying your golden hour on the balcony or hosting get-togethers with friends, the right interior decor details can turn even the smallest space into a sanctuary of calmness and good vibes.

So, let’s dive into this year’s design moodboard - a mix of trends, textures, tones, and styling tips to get your space feeling fresh and fabulous.

The Shades of Summer 2025 

Sun-Washed Neutrals

Colours like warm whites, beiges, pale sand, and light taupe work as a base that feels bright but not bland, and organic without going full rustic. They beautifully reflect summer light, bringing a sense of calm to your interior decor.

Botanical Greens & Sky Blues

Inspired by the outdoors, these gentle colours are ideal for seasonal styling that brings nature indoors. Muted sage and powdery blue offer a modern, subtle, and soothing palette, perfect for walls, metal furniture, or even accent ceramics.

Citrusy Pops

Need a little punch? Lemon yellow, coral pink, or a soft tangerine can bring playful energy into an otherwise neutral space. Use these sparingly - a cushion here, a piece of art there, and you will create interest without overwhelming the room.

Textiles & textures that breathe

Summer interiors are all about lightness in look and feel. Here is what’s trending in textural details:

Linens everywhere

Linen continues to reign in 2025, and for good reason. It’s breathable, durable, and looks effortlessly stylish when slightly rumpled. Linen curtains, table runners, or cushion covers can instantly lighten up home decor.

Handwoven materials

From jute rugs to rattan accents, natural fibers are a standout summer decor trend creating a breezy, summer-ready environment. They add earthy texture and bring that ‘just got back from the beach’ vibe home.

Soft, organic touches

Choose throws and pillowcases in cotton, polyester, or other light fabrics. They keep the feel soft and the patterns subtle, we adore small checks, hand-block prints, or faded stripes.

Shapes that flow

Say goodbye to sharp corners and hello to curves and rounded silhouettes. In 2025, home styling is leaning into comfort and this shift is front and centre on every thoughtful design moodboard.

Rounded Edges & Wavy Lines

Whether it’s a mirror, a side table, or a floating shelf, curved forms feel gentle and welcoming. Wavy forms add a relaxed aesthetic to the room, breaking the monotony of rigid and sharp lines.  

Modular & Moveable

With more of us embracing flexible living, modular pieces that can shift around and adapt are the showstopper for this season. Summer is a time to make room, rearrange, and create zones of comfort. The trend? Furnishings that feel versatile, not fixed.

Indoor meets outdoor

The summer interior decor trend in 2025 is all about blending the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Whether you have a garden, a balcony, or just a cozy patio, there are plenty of ways to bring elements of nature in!

Plants as decor

Lush greenery is the simplest way to refresh a room. Like trailing vines on bookshelves, statement palms in corners, or tiny succulents on your windowsills. Go for a mix of leafy and structural to create depth and balance.

Lightweight layers

Swap out thick, heavy curtains for sheer drapes. Store away chunky rugs and uncover your natural floors. Layer light rugs or mats made from woven fibres. Let the sun rays pour in, this season is about light over luxury.

Fresh scents

Don't underestimate the power of fragrance when it comes to home decor. Diffusers or candles with notes of citrus, mint, basil, or eucalyptus can energise and calm in equal measure.

Simplicity in styling

Minimalism is evolving! Instead of overdoing and piling up, summer 2025 calls for warm minimalism, a more inviting, textured take on the trend.

The ‘Fewer, Better’ approach

Curate your surfaces. Instead of filling every corner, pick a few meaningful objects, maybe a hand-thrown vase, a candle, a stack of books. Let each item breathe.

Organic clutter

You know that stack of summer reads? Or the fresh fruit bowl on the kitchen counter? These are elements of lived-in charm, not mess. The goal is not to be perfect but personal. 

Art with air

Replace those moody, heavy pieces with light, summery artwork to brighten up your home styling. Think line drawings, abstract landscapes, or photography with soft tones. Bonus points for anything that reminds you of nature or travel.

Simple updates for a seasonal refresh

You don’t need to redecorate your whole house to get into the summer spirit. Sometimes, all it takes are a few intentional changes. Here are some easy, budget-friendly refresh ideas:

1. Rotate decor – Store away darker decor items and bring out brighter or neutral-toned pieces.
   
2. Rearrange furniture – Open up the layout to create breathing space.
   
3. Switch your soft furnishings – Lighter cushion covers or bedding can instantly transform any room.
   
4. Create a summer zone – A dedicated corner or shelf styled with books, flowers, and ceramics instantly adds charm.
   

A Season of slow, soft & stylish living

If there is one takeaway from summer interiors this year, it’s this - don’t overthink it. Let your space evolve with the season. Open a window, rearrange your shelves, light a candle that smells like the beach, and call it a day.

At its core, the summer decor trend for 2025 is about celebrating what is already here: sunlight on the floor, flowers blooming in the park, that soft breeze through your linen curtains. It’s about simplicity, rejuvenation, and joy. Because in the end, a home that feels like summer doesn’t have to look perfect - it has to feel right. Want to start moodboarding your own space? Create a digital collage, pin your favourites, or better yet, spend 10 minutes rearranging a corner of your home. You will be surprised what a little shift can do. 

Let summer in!
