We’ve all spent a lot more time at home than usual this year, which is why it’s more important than ever that you create a welcoming home environment. Many of us will likely be decorating in 2021, but what are the best ways to reinvent your home?
If you are looking for inspiration, interior design trends are always a good place to start. Seeing what is popular and how other people are being creative with their homes will surely spark some ideas. So, what are the big home decor trends in 2021?
Paint Colours
A lick of paint is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to breathe new life into a room, but what colours are popular this year? Nudes and light shades are particularly popular, as can be seen from the new Elle Decoration range by Crown paints. Pastel and nude shades of pink are ideal for creating a relaxing vibe while also being very stylish. Very light whites are popular in rooms where you want the furniture and wall decor to be the main focus. But if you’re Decorating With Elle Decoration By Crown in 2021 and you don’t like the idea of subdued, light tones, don’t worry. Rich jewel tones are also big this year and Crown have some beautiful teal and purple shades on offer. These are perfect for creating an elegant feel, regardless of whether you are going for a classic or modern aesthetic.
Also very popular in 2021 is the combination of yellow and grey. It’s a bold choice but it works because it adds a burst of colour and vibrancy to the grey tones which, although very stylish, can begin to feel a bit bland when overused.
Furniture
When it comes to picking furniture in 2021, it’s all about natural materials. This is partly down to a desire for sustainability but also because simplicity is very popular in decor right now. Designers are getting ever more inventive with their furniture and mixing wood with concrete, metal or ceramics to create some interesting pieces. Furniture made from reclaimed materials is also very big right now because it’s unique and sustainable at the same time.
Vintage furniture is also a good choice and if you search around for some good deals, you can usually save a lot of money. As long as you are willing to put a bit of work into restoring wooden furniture, there are some beautiful, on trend pieces for next to nothing.
Wall Art
Painting the walls is a start, but if you want to create an interesting space, you need to choose some wall art. In the past, people have steered towards art that makes a big statement, but this year, it’s the subtle options that are in fashion. People are going for minimalist wall art that blends in with the rest of the decor. Neutral colours, like beige and grey are particularly popular, as is simple wall art with geometric shapes and simple designs.
You don’t have to follow these trends religiously, but they are a good starting point if you are stuck for ideas.
