4. Dried flower displays

A big trend to expect to see in 2021 is the use of dried flowers to decorate the home. A change from the usual green and vibrant houseplants, which are still as fashionable as ever, dried flowers last longer and don’t require any maintenance. From Pampas grasses and dried flowers to seed heads, their aesthetic has a wide appeal right now.

5. roof windows

Homes filled with natural light are always high on a customer`s wish list. Now more than ever, homeowners are opting to enhance the daylight in their homes by installing roof windows and skylights. This makes maximising natural light a viable option in the gloomiest of properties. Popular for modern kitchen extension ideas and also in home offices and open-plan living spaces, this trend is perfect for any suitable room. As our customers spend more time at home and indoors ensuring a light and airy space will boost their sense of wellbeing, enjoyment, and productivity at home.

6. Earth colours

Using the colour palette provided by nature is one of the hottest colour trends for 2021. Earthy toned pigments are proving popular when it comes to selecting a bold shade for an accent wall, tiles or key furniture pieces. Try to advise your customer to keep it subtle and not to overdo it. Suggest choosing one part of the room décor, such as one wall, a rug or the sofa cushions to introduce the colour, making sure that the rest of the accessories in the room complement it well.

7. Japandi

There’s been a strong Japanese design element running as an undercurrent through interior collections over the past few years. This is a mix of elegant Japanese minimalism and rustic Scandinavian simplicity. Japandi is a hybrid trend bringing together the best of these two much-loved styles. This trend is the one for your customer if their home is their sanctuary and they take a less-is-more approach with uncluttered spaces, clean lines and a calm subdued colour palette. Combining the mindfulness elements of Scandinavian hygge and the Japanese theory of ‘wabi-sabi’ this trend finds effortless beauty in the simple things.

8. Cottagecore cosiness

Cottagecore is a trend that has emerged last year but continues to sweep social media. You can search #cottagecore on Instagram and Pinterest to see an influx of inspirational images championing this look. This homely look is perfect for places with character, whether it’s a period property or a country cottage. The style is enhanced by traditional touches, such as parquet flooring, exposed beams and bare brick. Style with a mix of vintage and new home buys to add charm.

Ideal Home Magazine say that whilst trends change and evolve, they do so at different paces. Some are popular for years rather than merely a season. Take the Nordic trend, it has been influencing customers for years now and yet continues to surprise and delight. As long as your customer loves the look of their interiors, that’s all that really matters.
