If you’re thinking or organising a summer party this season then look no further for the latest decor ideas for 2024.  Emphasising on vibrant colours, natural elements, and interactive experiences.  Here are some key trends:

1. Bold Colours and Tropical Themes

• Colour Palettes: Bright, bold colours such as coral, teal, and sunshine yellow dominate. Think of hues that evoke a tropical paradise.

2. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Decor

• Reusable Materials: Opt for decor made from sustainable materials such as bamboo, recycled glass, and organic cotton.
• Upcycled Items: DIY decor using repurposed items, like turning old jars into lanterns or using reclaimed wood for signage.
