Last year we all spent more time at home than any other year. It is looking like that home-bound time will continue well into the new year, which stands to influence how interior design will trend in the future. Now we're spending time working, learning, and living all in one space with the lines blurring.
If you’ve been tempted to mix up the decor in your house, repaint walls, or tackle a major home project, you’re far from alone. But if you’re looking for a little bit of a refresh for the new year. Here are some advices on how to give your home the 2021 upgrade.
Big, Multi-Purpose Tables
The dining table became a centrepiece once again, with long, narrow tables firmly back in fashion. In this era of working from home, schooling from home, and well, just being home all the time, a very large table can serve as the new heart of the home. Big dining table become a place for family and friends to get together as well as a place for eating, learning, playing and crafts.
Large Scale Art
Instead of a gallery wall, large scale art will be taking centre stage in 2021 and it’s slowly making its way into our home through wallpaper, artwork, tapestries and photographs. Showing larger works in bold colours and in geometric or abstract patterns not only makes a stronger statement, but also avoids the clutter and chaos presented in gallery style. Large posters, works of art and photography prints are getting attention because in place of a whole gallery wall you can focus on just one eye-catching work of art.
You can choose a piece of art that you love or is meaningful to you and place it as a backdrop for your bed or sofa. It’ll dramatically transform any dull space into a spellbinding one. With that large piece of art, you don’t even need other accessories!
Statement Pieces
Setting up space with a statement piece is a trend that is seen taking the front row and will continue to do so from here on. If you’ve always wanted to have a home that breathed luxury, getting a statement piece of art is a great option.
A statement piece anchors a room. It is bold and eye-catching, and something that adds personality and character to a space. Anything bold and daring can be classed as a statement piece—color, furniture, artwork, and even lighting. Statement pieces will be proper to elevate any division, for a more sophisticated look, and make the space look classy, organized, and neat.
Earthy Tones
One of the overarching for home décor in the year to come is the return to nature and earthy inspiration. This feeling extends to colour trends, as warm, comforting colour palettes. So we'll see lots of earthy palettes and textures in 2021.
Warm earthy tones are slowly replacing the Scandi white and greys that have been so prevalent over the last decade. Warm neutrals work brilliantly with bursts of colour and can be a comforting, calm and timeless trend. Think natural tones, including beige, brown, white and deep and neutralized hues like olive green and burnt orange. These warm colours can make a room feel more intimate and expressive of feelings.
Gold accents
Gold is another trend that started a couple years ago and now it is riotous! Gold tones in metals is beautiful, it brings warmth and that kind of richness to a room that doesn’t feel like it’s too over the top, but gives that glam element to a space, warms it up, and makes a statement.
Just because gold will likely remain to be trendy next year doesn’t mean that you have to abandon every other metallic finish in your home. Mixing metals is the transitional trend we all need and is a fabulous way to bring interest and beauty to a room.
Japandi
Japandi is a blend of the enduring Scandi interior design trend and Japanese aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from minimalism, the Japanese wabi-sabi concept and the now-hackneyed hygge fad, it aims to create simple, comfortable and functional spaces. To achieve this trend it's all about mixing elements of Japanese and Scandinavian furniture. Think clean lines, neutral palettes and timeless pieces of furniture made from natural materials.
