Interior Design Trends To Watch For In 2021

 

As January 1st approaches, we’re excited about all the possibilities that a new year brings. Especially after the year that we’ve all had. Home organization and remodelling projects often make it onto the resolution list. With new interior design trends taking shape in 2021, here’s what you can look forward to:
 

Wallpaper Is The New Shiplap

Thanks to Joanna Gaines, no modern farmhouse style would be complete without the quintessential shiplap accent wall. Shiplap gained popularity throughout the last decade and was loved for its simplistic way to add a little visual interest. Plus, with its relatively easy installation process, many weekend warriors opted to tackle it as a cost-effective DIY project.

In 2021, design experts predict the wallpaper will become the new shiplap. With its limitless options, finding the perfect pattern to fit your space will be a breeze. Bonus points for going bold and textured! For those just looking for a little oomph, you’re welcome to stick to an accent wall but placing it on the ceiling or covering the entire room from floor to ceiling is a design trend that we’re digging. What’s even better? Thanks to evolution, wallpaper now comes in a peel and stick format which makes it a sinch to install (and remove when you want to try something new.

Monochromatic Neutrals Make Way For Bold Pops Of Colour

Cozy, layered neutrals have their place but 2021 will be all about infusing bold colours into your overall neutral pallet. With many of us spending more time at home, rich hues help inject life, vigour and personality into our space, while a neutral backdrop maintains the anchor point for your decor. 

Like the wallpaper, the bolder the accent the better. Think warm, earthy jewel tones – we’re here for it. Plus, maintaining a neutral base will allow you to reinvent your look whenever the mood strikes! That’s a win if you ask us.

 

Sustainable Decor & Natural Accents Are On Trend

Faux plants and more rustic elements have been gaining popularity over the past few years but this trend will take off in 2021. With a nod to sustainability, natural fabrics will replace synthetic blends and other natural decor elements like jute and real house plants will surge in popularity. 

 

Mid-Century Modern & Minimalist Designs Are Making Way For Nostalgia & Industrial

Some say that we’re headed towards a maximalist design trend but we’re not there yet, although the minimalist design is on a downward trend. When you’re home from morning until night, you use your home in different ways, many of which don’t play nicely with a minimalist style.

The modern ode to mid-century mod and minimalistic design is going to be replaced by more forgiving rustic, industrial decor with nostalgic accents. Industrial design is comprised of many forgiving elements that are perfect for high-traffic homes. The term grandmillennial has gained popularity, which is where the nostalgia comes in. Think of it as a modern take on your Grandma’s house.

 

Say Goodbye To Singular Use Spaces

Workstation by day, dining table by night. In 2021 we will continue to see homes transformed into multi-functional living space. Many are starting to see that WFH will be the new norm and are adapting their homes accordingly. From murphy desks to convertible storage and creative divisions of space, we look forward to seeing how you all adapt your homes to our current situation.
