Back BRAT summer on the walls!
You probably have seen and heard the latest trend on social media – lime green and “brat summer” everywhere! From music to politics. The trend stems from Charli XCX’s album “Brat,” which dropped in early June 2024. The “brat” trend has rapidly grown into a cultural phenomenon, influencing fashion, music, home decor and even politics.
What is Brat Summer?
It’s all about blending high-end fashion with more laid-back, everyday looks – like pairing the fanciest brands with a simple pack of cigarettes and a plain white tank top to create the perfect summer outfit. Think (neon) green shades, simple white tops, and an overall vibe that combines grunge with modern pop culture. This aesthetic celebrates being a bit messy, party-loving, and unapologetically oneself.
The crazy green colour – everywhere!
Slime green color is popping up everywhere, from clothing and accessories to makeup looks. Celebrities and influencers have been seen sporting neon green nails, eyeliner, and outfits inspired by Charli XCX’s album cover. Interestingly, the Brat trend has even made its way into politics. Following a viral tweet by Charli XCX, declaring “Kamala IS brat,” Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign leaned into the Brat aesthetic! As they say: if it’s good enough for the vice president, it’s good enough for us!
How to incorporate brat green in home décor?
As brat green is undeniably bold, and not for everyone – use it wisely when doing home decorating. Go for chartreuse green or lime shades. Balance with softer or neutral elements, to create a harmonious look. Here are a few tips:
Pair with neutrals: Combine Brat green with whites, grays, or beige to tone down its intensity and create a chic, balanced environment.
Use sparingly! If the color feels too overwhelming, use it sparingly as accents rather than dominant elements.
Mix Textures: Incorporate different textures like wood, metal, or textiles to add depth and interest, making the green pop without overpowering the space.
Brat green, with its bold and rebellious charm, offers a complete twist for home wall décor. The vibrant hue adds energy and a modern edge. However, moderation is the key! Use the famous green for accent walls, furniture, and accessories to create striking focal points, without overwhelming your space. Happy decorating! Check out the geen wallcoverings here!
