Get ready: This summer is about to be the most bold and bright yet.
With a new season comes new trends, and Pinterest knows exactly what we’re all looking for—and pinning. The platform analyzed what its users have been searching as summer approaches and discovered “people are embracing a bold and fearless approach to showcasing their unique tastes and personalities across all facets of their lives.”
According its newest report, we specifically want: twists on traditional summer foods, memorable dinner parties, and eclectic decor choices that let us express our individuality.
Searches for “dopamine decor,” aka surrounding yourself with furniture, art, and objects that make you happy, increased by 280%.
“People are yearning for spaces that burst with color, comfort, and character, reflecting their individual personalities and creating a welcoming sanctuary that feels uniquely their own,” reads a Pinterest press release. This is further proven with an uptick in searches for «grandma core bedroom,» «whimsical decor,» «vintage eclectic home,» and more.
And there's nothing more dopamine inducing than the trending Nancy Meyers aesthetic: Searches for “Nancy Meyers living room” increased by more than 2,000%, while “Nancy Meyers bedroom,” “Nancy Meyers homes,” and “Nancy Meyers kitchen” skyrocketed in searches, too.
“Inspired by the timeless elegance of Nancy Meyers' signature style and her ability to infuse warmth and sophistication into every space, individuals are drawn to eclectic vintage decor that tells a story and adds a sense of nostalgia and charm,” said a Pinterest press release.

Dearest gentle readers, are you dreaming of a day frolicking through pastel flower beds, idling away in romantic gardens? Well, if you’ve caught the latest season of «Bridgerton», that wouldn’t be surprising.
I have a passion for green things—and all things related to green things. Plant and container specimens line my greenhouse shelves, carport, and driveway. Come summer, I put all worries of frost and cold weather aside and start pairing things up from my collection.
Temperatures are expected to be higher than ever this summer, with record-breaking heatwaves already hitting the Southwest United States. You might be prepared with ways to beat the heat, but what about your garden?
Curious about what outdoor trends are best suited for helping you relish the joys of summer—and which ones are best for taking off on a permanent vacation? We surveyed design pros and asked them what items they’re booting from their own yards this summer and which ones they think are prime for their moment in the sun.

Summer is officially here. The flowers are blooming, the sun is blinding, and the hot dogs are ready to hit the barbeque. But this year, there are some new outdoor living trends folks are totally obsessed with, from making our living rooms match our porches to ensuring the sustainability of our gardens.
There’s nothing like a crisp cucumber freshly harvested from your garden, then chilled to perfection. They’re so much better when you grow them yourself! They’re also one of the easiest vegetables to grow from seed. New compact varieties of cucumbers grow well in containers on a deck, patio or balcony, too.
Outdoor DIY projects can be fun, but there’s always a bit of pressure to finish them quickly. After all, you can easily hide that half-finishedaccent wall inside your home, but that partially constructed cinder block garden is on display for the neighbors to see.
While some summer entertaining ideas will never grow old—grilling burgers and torching marshmallows around the fire pit come to mind—embracing an of-the-moment trend can also be fun, adding unexpected novelty to your party and creating a memorable experience for your guests.
From fashion to home design to food, trends seem to come in cycles. While we’re not quite sure if we’ve circled all the way back from wide legs to mom jeans and back to skinny jeans again (please clue us in if you know!), one thing we know for sure: cooking over live fire is never going to go out of style.
We love to draw inspiration from garden shows, where the country’s best and upcoming gardeners come together to share their wild and wonderful ideas.
