New Year, New Home: Design Ideas For 2021

The start of a brand new year is always an excellent time to think about making changes. Whether you’ve recently moved house, you’re in the throes of packing up all your possessions, or you’ve decided that it’s time to revamp your home, you may be looking for inspiration. Here are some stunning design ideas for 2021. 

Modern rustic

Many of us have spent more time at home than ever before in the last year, and comfort has become our top priority. The modern rustic trend delivers on both style and coziness, offering the best of both worlds. To achieve this look, combine traditional touches with contemporary flair to celebrate old and new. In the living room, opt for a hardwood floor and traditional wooden dressers and side tables and inject a modern vibe with a statement armchair, funky wall art and printed cushions, throws and rugs.

You can stick to an understated color-way, such as tones of gray or monochrome or add a bit of interest with flashes of teal, green or yellow. If you don’t want to alter the entire room, use accessories to transform the space. From plant pots and coasters to vases and framed pictures, you can use details to introduce new trends and mix and match new and old.

A touch of luxe

Our homes have never been more important, and many of us have taken it upon ourselves to spruce up our interiors to create a nest that not only offers comfort but also looks beautiful. If you’re a fan of visiting 5-star hotels, or you like to dine out in fancy restaurants, the luxe look is for you. This is a trend that is perfect for those who want to achieve spectacular results without undertaking a large-scale renovation or redecoration project. The key to making this trend work lies in selecting statement pieces to bring a new aesthetic and ambiance to the room. Consider a Murano glass chandelier in a hallway or formal living room, an oversized vintage mirror in the bathroom, or a four-poster bed in the boudoir. Once you’ve created your focal point, you can add details and accents to carry the look, such as soft furnishings, candleholders, vases, and lamps.

Art Deco

Art Deco is having a moment. Famed for its bright colors, decorative patterns, and intricate shapes and lines, the Art Deco trend is often seen in boutique hotels and trendy bars. If you’re keen to recreate this look at home, look for themed furniture and opt for bold shades of green, blue, and gold. Patterns like zig-zags and chevrons are ideal for cushion covers, throws, and curtains, and opulent fabrics like velvet work well. Opt for semi-circular, oval, rectangular, or sunburst mirrors, and don’t be afraid to go all-out in the glamor stakes. You can run with this trend or introduce more subtle elements, depending on your personal taste and the vibe you want to create in the room. Art deco styles work fabulously in home offices, dining rooms, living areas, and bathrooms, but they also lend themselves to fabulous, unique bedroom interiors.
