Hot Summer patterns

Heat up your schemes with four ways to use this season's trending prints

Fresh fruits

Add some zest to your look with patterns inspired by juicy produce. The style of these luscious designs can vary from bright and playful to regal and traditional. Oranges, pomegranates and lemons bring a touch of Italian glamour into your space, while raspberries and strawberries evoke sunny days that are much closer to home. When using patterns like these, try to stick to one type of fruit or, choose a family of fruits - tropical, citrus or berries, for example. This adds a little logic to your choices and will help to make sure your scheme keeps its flavour.
