20 21 DECOR TRENDS FOR
After the year we’ve all had, it’s no surprise that home design trends for 2021 focus on comfort—whatever that means for you.
Home decor trends for 2021 are all about creating a home that’s comfortable, functional, and most importantly, a reflection of you.
1 | Japandi
A combination of Japanese design and Scandinavian minimalism, Japandi style is all about sleek lines and neutral color palettes.
2 | Neon Lights
Gen Z is bringing neon lighting back with a modern look. Customized neon word art in fun fonts and neon-hued LED lights are trending - even appearing in nursery decor!
3 | Friluftsliv
As the coronavirus pandemic moved gatherings outside, our outdoor spaces took on newfound importance. Instead of embracing hygge and snuggling up indoors, many people have espoused the Danish concept of friluftsliv, or “free air life,” and are bundling up before heading outside.
4 | Dividers
Both Etsy and Pinterest predicted a move away from open floor plans in favor of more divided spaces in 2021 As our homes now serve multiple functions - home office, gym, creative space - the need for privacy and separate zones has increased.
6 | Oversized Tiles
Skip the teeny-tiny penny tiles with the impossible-to-clean grout lines in favor of larger scale tiles in the bathroom. Fewer grout lines means less cleaning and less visual clutter.
7 | Grandmillenial Style Inspired by the comforts of Grandma’s home, millennials are decorating with a nostalgic sense of style.
Expect to see vintage touches and old-school patterns mixed with bold, modern colors.
5 | Earth Tones Earth tones, including beige, brown, burnt umber, and terracotta, will continue their popularity streak in 2021. Basically any earth tone is surging in popularity these days.
