Summer doesn't break for home decor trends, and we love what we're seeing pop up lately, many inspired by viral summer fashion trends. From chrome to cabana stripes to coquette – a flirty, romantic, French-inspired aesthetic – here are five trends we're loving for our homes, indoors and out.
Chrome Decor
This retro metal is having a moment in home decor as searches for chrome on Yelp are up 14 percent. The metallic trend can be found everywhere from pendants to side tables to artful accessories like vases and candlestick holders.

Coquette Decor
From toile to ribbons to dainty florals, the coquette craze has evolved into a legitimate home decor style and we are not sad about it. Searches for coquette are up 337 percent on Yelp. Express your feminine style with this darling decor trend.

Checkerboard Tile Decor
According to Yelp, tile installation has seen a 36 percent increase in the last year. The checkerboard comeback, like this above Merzoni Checker Ruzzini porcelain wall & floor tile, is a classic and timeless look, from kitchen to outdoor patio. We love the trend for more than just flooring too.
Customized Decor

More homeowners are looking to personalize their space, with custom touches seeing significant increases on Yelp. Custom curtains are up 60 percent, as are custom doors (up 30 percent) that add character.
Closet systems, like this custom closet designed by Karan and Sapna Aggarwal of Los Angeles design firm Bungalowe (spy the full interior here), saw a 40 percent increase, reflecting the desire for a more tailored look.
Cabana Stripe Decor
Feel like you're vacationing along the Italian Riviera right at home. Resort-inspired decor like bold cabana stripes are hot this summer and really never go out of style. Bring them indoors and out!
