As the rest of the U.S. emerges from winter, Hawaii's eternal summer means spring design is always in season. This year, Hawaiian designers and homeowners are embracing fresh takes on island style that are both gorgeous and sustainable.
Here are some of the top spring design trends flourishing across the islands:
Going Bamboo
Bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource that's becoming a popular alternative to wood. Hawaiian designers are using bamboo for everything from floors and furniture to decorative accents like window shades and area rugs. Its warm hues and natural textures bring the outdoors in.Indoor Garden Walls
With Hawaii's year-round growing season, it's no surprise that indoor living walls and vertical gardens are a hot trend. These space-saving gardens make use of otherwise bare wall space while adding lush greenery and air purification benefits.Ocean-Inspired Blues
From cobalt to turquoise, shades of blue inspired by the tropical ocean environment are hugely popular interior colors this spring. Designers are using blue accent walls, upholstery, tile, and accessories to capture an airy, seaside vibe.Tropical Lighting
Woven rattan, bamboo, and seagrass are showing up in light fixtures as well as furniture. These natural materials evoke a casual, breezy aesthetic perfect for Hawaiian living. Oversized woven pendants are a particular lighting standout.Sustainable Materials
With the growing emphasis on eco-friendly design, Hawaiian homeowners and designers are getting creative with sustainable materials. Reclaimed wood, bamboo, rattan, soil-based tiles and plasters made from natural pigments are just some examples popping up in island homes.
Hawaii's spring design celebrates the lush natural environment through the use of green living walls, ocean-inspired hues, and sustainable tropical materials like bamboo and rattan. With a laid-back yet luxurious vibe, this season's island inspiration is as multi-layered as the landscapes themselves.
