Home Design Trends for 2021
Trends come and go, but when it comes to redecorating or home renovation, it’s helpful to know what’s outdated so you can keep your house from looking out of fashion. 2020 is a tough year for most of us, but it rang in some surprising trends for the new decade. Read on for some ideas you may want to consider for your own home in 2021.
- Bold monochrome is in
For years we’ve seen catalogues of pale monochromes in varying shades of beige and grey with a pop of colour here and there. Well, throw the cream throw pillows away because, in 2021, it’ll all be about daring colours. Royal blues, canary yellows, forest greens, and crimsons dominate the scene. Pale monochromes are now seen as too safe and bland, while bold monochromes breathe elegance and excitement into any room. Considering that we’ve been trapped in our homes for most of the year, it’s understandable that having a place full of drab, pale colours would be enough to make anyone feel even more down. Bright colours liven up the space and give you a more visually stimulating experience.
- Fun, quirky bathroom designs
From bathtub taps shaped like swans to wall and ceiling murals in wild colours, 2020 was the year for more experimental and eclectic bathrooms. Gone are the days of a sterile and clinical all-white setup. Bathrooms are now being used as spaces for uniqueness and creativity. More homeowners are getting freestanding bath models over built-in ones to allow for more customisation since freestanding baths come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, designs, and materials.
- Classicism is back
It seems everyone is tired of 2020 and just wants to roll back to the good old days of glamour and extravagance. Taking inspiration from the old European style, most homes are incorporating elegant pieces and extravagant fabrics. Ornate architecture like plaster detailing and crown moulding coupled with luxurious pieces like candle holders, porcelain vases, busts and statues are enjoying a resurgence in style after being rejected by an era of minimalism.
- Indoor plants and biophilic design
With the events of 2020, some people suddenly found themselves with a little too much time on their hands, which gave rise to hobbies like indoor gardening. Plants not only reward you with fresh produce but also breathe life into an otherwise drab space. Some homes even went as far as adopting biophilic design, incorporating nature heavily into the living space. Biophilic design has been marketed to have benefits for the environment, as well as overall productivity and mental health, which I’m sure we all need after everything happening right now.
It’s important to remember that trends are just that: trends. They come and go. Just a year ago, we were all about minimalism and pale colours, but now we’re advocating more statement pieces and a bolder colour palette. Ultimately, what should decide how you decorate your space is if you love how it looks.
