Spiffing up your space

The promise of spring is a good reason as any to give your space a makeover, but never has it been more necessary than in the aftermath of a whole year spent (mostly) indoors. 2020 shook up our worlds and changed our perspective on lifestyle, and 2021 brings with it a chance for a do-over, so without further ado, here are 5 key decor trends we’re predicting will go big this year.

Au Naturel

There’s nothing like being forced to stay indoors, for making one appreciate the outdoors. At the height of the lockdown phase, we saw a boom in indoor/rooftop gardening, and social media exploded with FOMO over picnics, treks and outdoorsy vacations. It’s more than likely that this newfound need to reconnect with nature will continue on over the next few months, so expect to see more natural materials, organic textures, and earthy colours. We’re talking the rustic textures of jute cotton, terracotta, bamboo popping up in soft furnishings and decor items, concrete and stone finishes, and the popularity of colour schemes that incorporate a lot of green, brown, and tan. 

Sunny shades

When you’re stuck at home, a pop of brightness can be a real pick-me-up. Pantone’s colour of the year for 2021 so expect to see this colour pop up in kitchens, living rooms, home offices, or whichever wall you want to feature in those Zoom calls.

Work mode on

Working from home really brought in a whole new urgency for spaces that multi-task. With the boundary between personal and professional spaces being blurred, design that serves multiple functions will continue to enjoy massive popularity for the foreseeable future. Ergonomic furniture design, creative storage solutions, and spaces decorated for multiple purposes are all solid investments to make at home.

Made with love

If there’s one issue that will shape the entire decade, it’s going to be climate change, and consumers are finally coming around to the concept of sustainability in a more meaningful way, with eco-friendly materials and products more in demand than ever. We’re expecting to see furniture and flooring made from sustainably harvested wood, upcycled pieces, decor products from recycled plastic, glass, and paper popping up in stores big and small. Breathe new life into your soft furnishings with organic weaves. A little TLC, and a fresh coat of paint can make you fall in love with an old piece of furniture again. 

Wowed by wellness

The critical lens placed over health and wellness has seeped into our decor consciousness as well. Warm lighting and feng shui will be living their best living life this year. The threat of infection has prioritized sanitization, and that’s why we’re looking towards easy to clean surfaces.
