Design and decoration trends for summer 2025

The good weather is here, and with it comes a great opportunity to sell or rent your property on the Costa del Sol. During a season when buyers and tourists are looking for bright, fresh, and stylish homes, updating your property's décor can make all the difference. At Narixa Villas, we share the top trends for this summer and how you can apply them to attract more interest.

1. Light and fresh colors: A safe bet

In summer, light colors reign supreme. Whites, beiges, soft blues, and sandy tones reflect natural light and give a feeling of spaciousness and freshness. Adding pops of color with cushions, vases, or textiles in turquoise or coral brings energy without overwhelming the space.

At Narixa Villas, we recommend changing sofa covers or adding lighter curtains to refresh the ambiance without the need for renovations.

2. Outdoor spaces: The star of summer

If your property has a terrace, balcony, or garden, make sure it’s well-maintained and furnished. Summer is when buyers imagine themselves sunbathing, having breakfast outdoors, or enjoying dinner at sunset. A set of outdoor furniture, potted plants, and good solar lighting can turn these areas into the home’s top selling point.

3. Natural light: Let it in

With longer summer days, make the most of natural light by removing heavy curtains and choosing lightweight fabrics. Make sure your windows are spotless to let sunlight pour in and highlight every corner of the property.

4. Natural elements and organic materials

Natural fibers like rattan, linen, light wood, and wicker are on-trend. They bring a Mediterranean, relaxed vibe that perfectly aligns with the Costa del Sol lifestyle. Use jute rugs, decorative baskets, or wicker lamps to incorporate this style.

5. Summer atmosphere: Details that delight

Small details can make a big impact: citrus-scented candles, decorative prints of ocean views, or even a bowl of fresh lemons from La Axarquía on the dining table. These touches don’t just decorate — they evoke pleasant, summery feelings.

6. Impeccable cleanliness and tidiness

Nothing speaks better of a home than a clean and tidy presentation. Depersonalize the space by removing personal items and decorate in a neutral way. This allows potential buyers or guests to envision the property as their future home or vacation spot.
