Monday Market Update: Home Design & Décor Trends 2021

See The Colors, Materials & Moods That Are Expected To Define 2021

The countdown is on until 2021 is here, and you know what that means: all the 2021 home design trends are emerging, and they are fabulous! In this week’s blog, we are providing a summary of what industry professionals are predicting will be hot in homes in the new year. May you find insight and inspiration that makes an impact on how you want your home to look and feel.


COLORS


This is an exciting time of year for the nation’s leading paint brands as they release the 2021 color(s) of the year! Some of the color companies release a single hue, others reveal an entire palette – but all have a rhyme and reason to why they think their tones represent where we are headed in home design. You will see shades of aqua both bright and soft, warm and organic grays, blues and reds, and even some hints of apricot and bronze! See it all for yourself in BHG’s article titled ‘Every 2021 Color of the Year We Know So Far.’


MOODS


A year like 2020 has definitely shaped how designers approach 2021. HGTV predicts that zen vibes, cozy details (via grandmillennial chic), multifunctional flex rooms and minimalist mentalities are at the top of what we want and need in the new year. Touches that evoke simpler days, uncluttered spaces and nature all around are all the rage. Scope out the scenes in HGTV’s fall article ‘We Predict the Biggest Home Design Trends for 2021 (Hello Zen Vibes and Home Offices!)’.


MATERIALS


Small details can make a big impact – so watch out as brushed gold, matte black and weathered nickel accents replace the stainless steel fixtures and finishes that have dominated our kitchens and baths for so long. In addition, materials that take us to distant times and places are making a comeback – so vintage aesthetics, oceanic accents and the mixing of pieces both old and new will evoke comfort and character.  Explore more at ‘Interior Design Trends 2021’ and ‘Try Out These 4 Kitchen and Bathroom Trends for 2021.’


Whether you make one simple change or refresh an entire room – I’d love to take a peek! Sometimes the best inspiration comes from those around you! 😉
