The Top 4 Interior Design Trends of 2021
2021 is well underway and so are the top interior design trends of the year. As with every new year, there are a million fresh ideas to choose from. While this can be overwhelming, the good news is that most of these trends fit into larger categories that leave room for you to exercise your creative expression. Here are the top four design trends that capture the heart of interior design in 2021.
Interest
The popular theme of adding interest has created unique ways to express beauty and variety in design. This year, patterns, colors, and shapes have set new eye-catching trends in 2021. With this fad, intricately textured pillows or comforting bursts of sky blue have made their way into living rooms across the country. Bright pops of color and attractively shaped accent pieces such as vases or furniture are also ways to make a space feel more interesting.
Comfort
The "Grandmillennial" style is all the rage in 2021. Longing for comfort and a sense of nostalgia lies at the heart of this design trend. Many are choosing to incorporate this style through patterned wallpaper, antique furniture, or ruffled linens. This unique trend blends the classic and vintage designs that our grandparents enjoyed with the unique spice of modern style.
Adventure
2021 is continuing to see a rise in décor that hints at distant lands. Since travel has become challenging, trends this year are seeing designs that bring the world into the home more than ever. Whether you choose to express your love of travel and exotic places through bold, ethnic patterns, an interior jungle of plants, or with wall maps and globes, this year is a great opportunity to unleash your inner explorer through design.
Functionality
Zoom calls from a messy kitchen aren't ideal. The reality is that 2021 has seen the rise of the "home office." This calls for functionality in your living space. The balance that so many are attempting to achieve is the perfect mix of homey, aesthetically pleasing, and practical (for those last-minute online work meetings). From a well-organized desk to the right kind of lighting, from a comfortable seat to a secluded study space, there is so much potential for this design trend in 2021.
Despite the challenges of living and working at home with very little possibility for travel, interior design trends this year are truly exciting. The road ahead may look long, but 2021 is presenting us all with a new lease on life and interior design.
