Interior Design: What's Trending this Year?
/The Coronavirus pandemic has had an effect on many sectors, including the home. As people spent more time indoors in 2020, they were not only in need of more warmth, but they were also forced to reimagine their living spaces to meet the demands of their new lifestyle.
Here are the trends coming forth for 2021.
Indoor plants and trees will continue to grow in popularity as a design staple in homes. They clean the air, carry the clarity and peace of nature indoors, serve as sculpture on a shelf or table top, and are grounding and life affirming to care for. Creating an interior plant set is beneficial on all levels: aesthetically, functionally, and psychologically.
2. Last year, we all made our living spaces work for us, and many of our rooms had multiple functions. We turned our living rooms into work spaces, our kitchens into classrooms, and our bedrooms into gyms. People will be reimagining their homes this year and incorporating pieces that help restore harmony to our multi-functional spaces.
3. Design can last a lifetime! So what's 'in' these days is an old-world aesthetic that never goes out of style. Darker, moodier spaces, antique oil paintings combined with a new light fixture to the point that you can't tell what age the room is from — mixing and matching periods is how to achieve timeless-ness!
4. We'll see lots of earthy palettes and textures in 2021. Think the continuation of plaster and travertines, lots of rattan, camels in lieu of gray, and deep, neutralized hues like olive green and burnt orange.
