It’s a new year and time for a revamp! There are countless Styling Trends for 2021, and so many wonderful ways to spruce up your home.
After a challenging year, the new ways in which we live our lives will undoubtedly influence our design choices. Whether this involves changes in flooring, colour scheme, or full renovations for your home – you have so many exciting options.
So, let’s talk about some of the new styling trends for 2021.
Polished concrete flooring
Floors are an important part of any home. They are after all, what we walk on every day. To add some class to an otherwise ordinary floor, polished concrete is a great choice. It’s stylish, yet practical, and very easy to maintain. This cost-effective choice uses a base that is already present, so can save on construction work.
Polished concrete is hypo-allergenic and tough. Unlike traditional flooring, such as timber, it will not chip or crack. With a gloss finish, it has a real wow factor.
Natural textures
Our lives are high-tech and digital. For some, it isn’t by choice. Expect to see people turn to natural textures to help with counteracting their somewhat synthetic way of living. Rustic wood with the feel of timber grain, or natural stone-like elements are perfect for getting back in touch with nature. Wools and linens will be prominent. All these textures are a natural remedy to our hectic, digital lives.
Contrasting colours
American company Pantone has named Ultimate Grey and Illuminating as their colours of the year for 2021. Why? Well, they believe these two colours combined will help people fortify themselves with energy, clarity, and hope in a world that is more uncertain than ever. Illuminating, a bright yellow, evokes an optimistic sunshine-filled day, while Ultimate Grey is a quieter hue that represents resilience, elegance, and composure.
Simple luxuries
Many people have invested less in personal appearance this past year, instead preferring to invest in making their homes look and feel amazing. We’re spending more time at home than ever, so we need our homes to make us feel good. Luxurious bed linen, comfortable cushions, even scented soaps and candles – all these little things have a big impact. You don’t always need an expensive home renovation to bring about a change in your home.
Grandmillenial Style
In response to daily life, Millennials and their slightly more mature Grandmillenial counterparts are growing tired of ‘modern’ designs and white-on-white. Expect a revival of older or traditional styles that are cozy and warm. Micro florals, chintz, wicker or cane furniture, antiques, and wallpaper are back in fashion.
Everyone needs a change once in a while. Play around. Have fun changing up your environment. It will be refreshing for your soul.
