- Peel-and-stick wallpapers
There is the growing popularity of peel removable, self-adhesive wallpaper, especially among individuals’ who are leasing or searching for less-expensive approaches to improving their living space. Are you looking for a more comfortable yet creative way to add a new touch to your home? Peel-and-stick wallpapers are ideal for achieving this. If you are looking to cover the whole room in wallpaper, consider adding it over seat rails in your lounge areas, above your washroom trims, and perhaps in your closets too. Wallpapers were a big hit in the 1950s and 60s, but guess what? It is mounting a real comeback this year.
- Ceramics are getting the edge over smooth kitchen tiling
In times past, smooth porcelain or glass tiles dominated kitchen design plans. However, times have changed, and many homeowners and interior designers are trading uniform, smooth tiling for vibrant, handcrafted quality ceramics. Like many others, you can go for regular ceramic variations similar to Moroccan zellige tiles. If you are taking this approach, it is practical to cover your entire walls with ceramic tiles. Although handcrafted tiles are usually costlier than produced ones, you can include singular pieces as accents to reduce the costs.
- Living room upgrades
Since cinemas are no longer a possibility, many individuals are upgrading their home theatre to include more giant screen TVs, sound systems and even sofas. With the COVID-19 lockdowns looking to be extended longer than expected, many people will have to upgrade their sofas to enhance their family times. However, L-shaped, oversized and modular style sofas are gaining popularity. Interestingly, enormous coffee tables look set to stage a comeback to complement the couches.
- Minimalism
Home design experts have predicted that luxe minimalism will dominate home trends in 2021. This has been attributed to the growing number of people swapping their traditional office for remote working while students are sticking to virtual classroom learning. Adding character to your home interior with items made from wood, cane, and marble can create a feeling of calmness in your home settings. For example, a desk with a black forest marble top will create a unique living space while serving as your workstation during the daytime. For your hardwood fixtures, you can consider neutral shades of cream, palette, and camel; these should offer a timeless appeal.
Like every aspect of our lives, home décor evolves too. While significant changes are noticeable over an extended period, there are usually innovative trends that enter the design space every year. If your home feels a little bit out of style, these trends should provide you with fresh ideas.
