Summer is the season of light, warmth, and joy—and interior design reflects that. Upholstery fabrics in bright, inviting colors can transform a space, bringing in a fresh, seasonal energy. Whether used in small accents or full furniture pieces, these colors pair beautifully with neutral tones, making them both eye-catching and versatile.
Bright Colors That Shine in Summer Interiors
Coral – This warm, energetic hue brings a soft pop of color to living spaces. It pairs effortlessly with light gray, cream, or beige, making it ideal for accent chairs or throw pillows. Try pairing a coral fabric like F2338 Coral with F6193 Cloud for a beautiful pink summer vibe.
Peach – Soft and welcoming, peach creates a calming atmosphere while adding a hint of color. It works well with off-whites, warm taupes, and natural woods for a relaxed, airy look. Pair S7213 Cocoa with F6303 Blossom for a woodsy & natural look.
Aqua – Aqua introduces a cool, coastal feel to interiors. It looks especially striking against sandy neutrals, ivory, and linen textures—perfect for coastal or contemporary spaces. For a beautiful match, pair F1977 Capri with F6211 Malibu.
Sunset Reds (Scarlet & Poppy) – Rich and saturated, these reds evoke the warmth of a summer evening. They pair well with muted browns, clay tones, or greige for a dramatic but grounded look. Try using F5262 Crimson with F4400 Clay for an evening grounded look.
Turquoise – For a bolder statement, turquoise brings energy and personality. Pair it with soft greys or tan to anchor the color without losing its vibrance. For a natural coast look, pair F4113 Catalina with F5885 Stucco.
Why?
Summer-friendly colors bring visual lightness and seasonal appeal to interiors. When used with neutral backdrops—such as cream walls, wood flooring, or natural-fiber rugs—they can refresh a space without overwhelming it. Upholstered furniture becomes the perfect canvas for these colors, offering both function and style.
From subtle warmth to vibrant contrast, summer colors help breathe new life into interiors. Used thoughtfully, these hues can elevate upholstery pieces and create spaces that feel current, comfortable, and inspired by the season.
