There are over 38 key decorating options that are the biggest interior design trends for the year ahead and beyond…
Here are our five favorite that you can input into your home as a seller that is getting ready to sell or as a buyer who is getting ready to either furnish their new home or remodel!
1. ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISPLAYS
Create an archaeological curio cabinet by showcasing sculptural ‘artefacts’ inside narrow and graphic wall-mounted display cases for a modern living room trend.
Combine found objects and textured materials alongside miniature sculptural forms to create an intriguing display whilst sticking to a primitive neutral palette.
2. SLATS PLEASE
Fluted detailing has had a long reign. Now it’s time to usher in a new kitchen trend and an era of vertical and beautiful three-dimensional lines.
Flat slats are dominating furniture design soon to be seen adding depth and subtle pattern to a piece of homeware near you.
3. SAGE GREEN KITCHENS
Sage green kitchens are fast becoming one of the biggest kitchen trends for 2021. Whether its paint, cabinetry or tiles, the hue is popping up everywhere – so look no further if you’re on the hunt for modern kitchen inspiration.
Instagram is awash with sage advice, including from cult designer Matilda Goad, who chose the green hue as the backdrop for her kitchen cupboards.
4. BIOPHILIC DESIGN
Biophilic design is the technical term for design and architecture that focuses on our innate human connection to nature and incorporates nature at its core (rather than as an after thought). In other words: it’s all about bringing the outdoors in, and indoors out.
Biophilic design is gaining traction in the design world as more people are living in cities than ever before, and science has proven what country folk have known all along, that nature makes us feel good and benefits our health.
‘Outdoor space is now a key part of any home as we are spending more time outside in our gardens, patios or balconies, which need to perform for year-round use. These areas are extensions of our living space and can provide us with spaces to relax, along with the possibility to remain social. Soft seating, outdoor kitchens and heating solutions will ensure we can use outside space all year round in every season,’ says Hayley Robson, co-founder, Day True.
5. WARM, EARTHY PAINT TONES
The latest interiors trend is barely there, warm, earthy neutrals. For the past few years, grey has dominated the neutral interiors palette. But sandy shades are back, and proving to be anything but boring.
Now don’t get us wrong, we love grey, but we’ve found ourselves increasingly drawn towards the warmer, friendlier tones of oatmeal and stonewashed linen. Think fleshy toned, earthy jute, canvas, wool, wood and hemp.
Hitting the nail on the head, the Dulux Color of the Year was revealed as Brave Ground, a modern take on taupe. Brave Ground harks back to the first mushroom shades made popular by Kelly Hoppen over 15 years ago, but this time, instead of being paired with neutrals, it’s being used to soften deeper colors.
