Color for Summer 2022

The trending color for Summer 2022 TOTALLY surprised me.

It’s not at all what I would have expected.

But I saw it everywhere!

In the stores and online.

Do you have a guess?

……

The trending color is ……. black.

WHAT!

Yep, that is the color I see for Summer ’22.

I know you expected me to say blue or bright vibrant colors, which are definitely out there.

But the underlying color in the stores and online is black.

Crazy!

Table Linens

The popular trend for table linens this Summer is stripes.

Thick stripes, thin stripes, and a combination of both.

You will easily find striped placemats, napkins, table runners, and tablecloths everywhere you look.

Dinnerware tabletop trend for Summer ’22

Dishes this Summer are where you will see that trending black color.

I found them at World Market, Home Goods, Target, Crate & Barrel, and many other stores.

Black is the new basic dish color.

Summer is also all about melamine dinnerware.

And why not?

Melamine is perfect for outdoor dining.

It holds up well outside, is lighter weight, and is more durable than ceramic dishes.

Plus they’re inexpensive and great for kids, too!

Drinking Glasses

Rounded square-bottom wine glasses continue to be trending this Summer.

There’s something about the slightly squared, yet rounded bowl that is elegant and different.

They are beautiful and unique.

I also found that smoky-colored drinking glasses are coming into the stores.

Definitely a Summer tabletop trend and one I expect to see through Fall.

Flatware Caddy

It’s Summer, so flatware and utensil caddies are not a surprise to see this time of year.

They’re perfect for bringing your utensils outside.

So, of course, they are a Summer ’22 tabletop trend.

In years past, they were typically wood or metal.

Now I am seeing them in dark grey rattan.

Perfect for that coastal vibe.

And also in keeping with the trending Summer color of black.

(See how it keeps popping up)

Rattan / Woven is a Summer tabletop trend

Rattan and woven pieces are still popular and are totally the tabletop trends for Summer ’22.

I mean, there’s something about woven items that just inherently scream Summer.

You will find utensil caddies, placemats, vases, trays, and a number of other tabletop pieces online and in the stores.

If you have seen the trending Coastal Grandmother decor, then you’ve noticed rattan pieces on the tables.

Now that you are “in the know” regarding Summer tabletop trends, it’s time to impress your friends and family with a fabulous table setting and enjoy entertaining outdoors!
