Get your home ready for a summer of sport by jumping onto the Tenniscore trend. This viral look has already taken the fashion world by storm, with celebrities like Zendaya choosing to wear tennis-inspired outfits on the red carpet.

If you've fallen in love with this summer's hottest look, the good news is that you can bring it into your decor too – and we're here to show you how!

Whether you're on a budget or want to go for a complete Tenniscore grand slam makeover, we'll show you how to create winning looks for your home.

What is Tenniscore?

Tenniscore is a summer interiors trend that's heavily influenced by the sporting world. While it feels fresh and modern, you can bring in heritage touches with vintage-style prints and tartan fabrics.

This trend has a luxurious, preppy style that isn't too fussy. Don't be tempted to over-accessorise – this look should be understated and elegant with a sporty vibe.

Tenniscore colour schemes

We'd recommend keeping your colour palette simple too for an easy, luxe feel. Look for shades inspired by the tennis courts: green, white, beige are all essential Tenniscore hues. You could also bring in yellow (think of that bright tennis ball shade), pink and black to complement your colour scheme.

Add a touch of red to reflect the bowls of strawberries and cream that are traditionally served to spectators during Wimbledon.

These classic shades reflect the elite history of the sport in a way that's subtly nostalgic.

Instantly elevate your table with red stripes – this is a quick and easy way to get a preppy look in your kitchen with minimal effort.

Team it up with checkered tableware to elevate the look even further.

3. Line it up

Get your ruler out, as this look demands neat, clean stripes – it doesn’t matter how thick or thin you’d like them to be. For the most bang up-to-date effect, consider skipping white stripes and opting for multi-coloured instead.

Mixing different stripe thicknesses and styles together will make sure that your decor doesn't look too uniform.

4. Choose vintage prints

This grassy green storage closet (or pantry) is a simple way to bring a dash of Tenniscore glamour into any room. It's neutral enough that it won't look dated in a few months.

7. Bring the outside in with rattan furnishings

We love this rattan kitchen cabinet from daals, but rattan chairs would also work well for a relaxed preppy style.

8. Colour drench your walls
