The past two years have turned all of us into massive homebodies, between two major lockdowns and having to spend most of our time inside our homes. The coming year will see a fundamental shift in our day to day lifestyles, a change that will also be reflected in the way we live at home. Having to look at the same walls day in and day out has got most of us ready to make some major changes to our home furniture. So let’s have a look at which decor trends to welcome in the coming year and which ones to say goodbye to.
Say Hello To Bold Hues
Neutral color schemes are known to have a soothing and calming effect on most of us. But this coming year will see a shift in this mindset and give way to bolder colors taking over our homes. The colors will be strong and inspiring, reflecting our personalities and need for vibrancy in our lives. Deep greens, moody blues, sultry terracotta and soft purples are some of the colors predicted to become highly popular.
The Comeback Of Backsplash Kitchen Tiles
Along with bold colors and patterns, come the vintage beloved backsplash kitchen tiles. Taking kitchen furniture to another level, these color intense stackable tiles are making a comeback, juxtaposing with the modern furniture and creating a balance. Antique backsplashes that are different from the counter finish lend an organic feel and help to break the monotony of plain countertops.
Get Into Arts And Crafts
Experts have seen an increased interest in incorporating handmade art and craft objects into their existing home decor, thereby showing a homeowner’s personality coming out through the objects they’re surrounding themselves with. The uniqueness and personal touch of having a bespoke art item as a centrepiece in your home will elevate the look and make your house stand out.
Multi-Use Furniture Easing Work Life Balance
With work from home becoming a staple in our daily lives, furniture that blurs the lines between work and personal life is on its way to becoming the most sought after decor trend. Adaptable, multifunctional furnishings, where active comfort forms are intended to meet the needs of this hybrid environment have seen an increased interest from interior designers all over the world. With the focus being “home” and how we actually work and live in it, having the flexibility to make the transition from alert to relaxed is vital.
Recycled Is In
With the focus being on sustainable living, interior designers are increasingly investing their time in experimenting with sustainable materials like cork, linen, and reclaimed plastics and finding ways to incorporate them into home decor, reducing the overall harmful impact of just existing in the modern age. Experts have been inspired by the emergence of recycled plastics such as HPDE as a raw material for furniture and fixtures. Many designers are investigating and using new materials that can replace traditional plastics and other harmful design materials.
These furniture trends are here to stay and will give your home the subtle makeover it deserves while maintaining the integrity of the architecture. You can get together with an expert and discuss your ideas before making any changes to your interior decor. A lot can be done with existing furniture if you are just looking to make a small change.
