Style at Home:
2021 trends we want to bring into the new year By Katie Laughridge There is nothing quite like the start of a new chapter to reflect on days (and styles) past. Each year brings such breathtaking trends that it seems a shame to leave them all behind. Now don’t get me wrong, there are quite a few things I would like to leave in 2021 as we begin a fresh and exciting 2022, but I can’t help but reflect on a few items I hope to bring with me as well.

Colored glassware Colored glass more recently had its heyday in the 1950s and ‘60s when it was brought into homes in a big way. However, I would classify colored glass as a newly returned trend, and I for one am tickled pink. The colors have been revamped to include softer pastel shades, beautiful jewel tones and modern shapes that are as exciting to look at as they are to use. As a new traditionalist (and someone who believes in the “more is more” decor mantra), I am all for another way to bring a pop of color and excitement to my home. Colored glass is a jewel on your table and in your cabinet. When you are done elevating your tabletops, colorful glassware is the perfect addition to a glass or open-door cabinet display. Don’t worry if you can’t decide on one color for your home. Mixing and matching is not only accepted, but strongly encouraged.
