Living trends 2021: casual luxury and comfort
The first living trendbest reflects this pursuit of a comfortable home. The furnishing style comes from the USA and can be described with the term “casual luxury”. Comfort comes first. Warm nude shades are particularly popular. Furniture with soft curves is also totally “in”. In the coming year, we will be relying on durable, high-quality materials that bring a touch of luxury into the interior. Ultimately, we are all waiting impatiently for the moment when we can invite friends over again.
Who is sophisticated luxury suitable for? For everyone who loves neutral colors and prefers to add subtle accents. This furnishing style should not be confused with purism, because accessories play an important role in the luxurious interior.
The color paletteis made up of a mix of beige, gray, caramel, camel and taupe. Forget the gold accessories and the floor lamps with copper pendant shades. Instead, go for gray-blue.
The materialsare extremely durable.Marble is in the foreground: Marble table tops, marble lamp legs, marble vases and even marble candle lights adorn the house. The seating furniture has soft padding made of velvet or corduroy. On the floor, soft deep-pile carpets or faux fur carpets provide additional living comfort.
Setup tip:Vases and candle holders made of natural stone are currently very trendy. Together with dried grasses and flowers they form a vintage-looking ensemble. Also in trend: chests of drawers with relief surfaces, wood-clad gas fireplaces, round coffee tables with marble tops and wooden legs.
Living trends 2021: Recycled natural materials
In recent years we have been trying to...Bringing nature into your home. Sometimes through generously glazed fronts, sometimes through the use of natural materials and sometimes through houseplants. Next year there will be a lot of emphasis on recycled natural materials. Whether it's a blanket made from recycled cotton or a table with legs made from recycled wood: the modern boho style relies on environmentally friendly, reusable materials. At the same time, it fascinates with a successful combination of old and new. If it weren't for the rattan side tables and the white linen upholstery, we would hardly recognize the casual living style. Clear lines, simple shapes and furniture and lighting fixtures with a reduced design characterize the modern living image.
The colors:Earth tones and muted warm colors give the interior more coziness. Particularly popular are the Marshmallow wall color from Pantone as well as the numerous greige (a mixture of gray and beige) shades and the velvety cream shades for larger pieces of furniture (sofa, bed, etc.). The accent colors green and camel bring variety to the furnishings, but are used very sparingly. A color palette made up of earth tones harmonizes particularly well with natural materials.
The materials:Wood, raffia and leather form a particularly calming and harmonious ensemble. Rattan is very popular and has already been crowned next year's material. For example, chairs for the dining room are made from rattan. But rattan lamps are also enjoying increasing popularity. They spread soft, diffuse light in the room and create a cozy ambience.
Setup tip:Handcrafted furniture, homemade macrame wall decorations and tableware in sandy tones effectively complete the modern boho concept.
Wohntrends 2021: California Dreaming
Especially on gloomy, bleak days, we all dream of a warm, light-flooded villa in California. With good planning, you can recreate the look. California chic is a mix of already very popular living styles: Scandinavian, mid-century, boho and Mediterranean. A good reason why the interior design style has gained popularity so quickly: you don't have to redecorate your house. Stylish accessories and individual pieces of furniture add a Californian touch to the interior.
The colors:All purists will get their money's worth with the Californian chic. Because the living style relies on white, namely snow white. White walls, white fireplace and white upholstered furniture create the perfect backdrop for an “Orange County” interior. Accents are made with blue and brown.
The materials:Light wood is making a real comeback. Oak, birch or maple convey lightness and make us dream of sand and sun. Rattan furniture adds a touch of exoticism and hand-woven carpets complete the cozy seating area in the living area.
Setup tip: A mantel or kitchen backsplash with geometric patterns, a polka dot rug and striped throw pillows will add that certain something to the interior.
Interior design trends 2021: Modern industrial style
Straightforward and rough, the industrial style relies on untreated walls, lights with metal lampshades and dark colors. In recent years, the interior design style has changed significantly. Meanwhile, wood and marble soften its cool look. Out with the rustic, in with the timeless elegance. For example, the wood grain is visible, but the surface is polished. Modern industrial style is more similar to minimalism. The furniture has clear lines, and the accessories and accent lighting provide variety.
The color paletteis dark, anthracite and pigeon blue set accents, brown gives the room a touch of coziness and the white walls form the perfect background for the design.
What the materialsAs far as things go, the industrial style presents an eclectic mix of metal (but with a matte finish), marble and glass. The upholstery of the seating is made of soft fabrics.
Setup tip:The furnishing style is suitable for a loft-style floor plan. A spacious living area that combines kitchen, dining area and living room in one, a bedroom that flows seamlessly into the bathroom and sliding glass doors that connect the home office and the garden offer the best conditions for an interior in a modern industrial style.
Living trends 2021: Furniture and home accessories for the living room
1. Environmentally friendly. No matter whether rustic, modern or industrial: when it comes to furniture in the living room, this year is clearly all about environmental friendliness. Reusable materials such as local wood, leather, natural stone and rattan are very popular and can be found in rocking chairs, armchairs and side tables.
2. Light wood. We've already mentioned that light wood is making a big comeback. The modern California style furniture is made of solid wood and has rounded edges. The industrial style furniture has metal constructions that bring structure to the interior.
3. The living room has become a multifunctional space where a lounge area, home office and library are combined into one. Storage space is even more important. Book shelves and modular wall units are therefore the focus of the furnishings. They visually connect the individual areas and accommodate books, televisions and office supplies.
4. Bring nature into your home with plants. This year, however, they are not on the floor, but rather hanging above the dining table, the kitchen island or the sofa. The hanging pots save space and look cool. That's why the trend has crept into the hearts of interior designers.
Living room decoration ideas 2021: Handmade home accessories
Homemade accessories give the room a personal touch and make the interior more comfortable. Luckily, not everyone has to be skilled at crafts or pottery. Because in 2021, handmade home accessories are very trendy. If you don't want to invest in handmade statues, you can choose between the numerous home accessories with a handmade look. From vases with a handmade look to macrame wall decorations: the accessories create the illusion of the look. Smoked glass is also very popular. Vases made of colored, mouth-blown glass can be staged both as soloists and in combination with rustic wooden pots and bowls.
Dining room trends 2021: Opposites attract
The dining kitchen, an absolute classic, is given a modern interpretation this year. The dining area is no longer just a transition area between the kitchen island and the sofa, it is visually separated and furnished with great attention to detail. The motto of 2021: Opposites attract. Light and dark wood form an attractive ensemble and create exciting contrasts that automatically draw attention to the dining area. Gone are the days of the mix-and-match trend; this year we prefer chair sets or combinations between benches and chairs.
The dining area is not only visually separated, but also decorated appropriately. Houseplants in rattan baskets and large paintings on the wall, as well as hand-woven carpets frame the dining area and give it more character. It is also decorated with vases and candle holders from the same color family. The colors are muted, pastel, and there is no metallic accessories at all.
Home office trends 2021: More storage space
Comfort will also be very important in 2021, especially when it comes to working from home. If you have a separate room for your home office, you should make it as functional as possible. Shelves, extendable tables, drawers and boxes provide storage space for office supplies and accessories. Home accessories, vases and family photos make the interior cozy and inviting.
Home office and guest room in one room
If you don't have a spare room at home, you can repurpose your guest room. A folding bed doesn't get in the way and offers additional sleeping space if required.
Home office trends: Working standing
Bar tables are not just for bistros and cafés. They also prove to be very helpful when working from home. If you work standing, you train your back muscles.
Living trends 2021: symmetry in the bedroom
The symmetry conveys visual calm and is therefore an absolute must in the bedroom. Two identical bedside tables with identical table lamps, pictures of the same size, two identical decorative pillows, etc.: Pay particular attention to symmetry when designing. This allows the eyes to relax and the brain to perceive the overall picture much more quickly.
