Last year’s lockdown had homeowners reimagining their interior spaces
With a pandemic-free future on the horizon, designers choose their top trends
No matter where you live, everyone is looking forward to smooth sailing in summer ’21. Vaccination rollouts are a success, COVID numbers are down, and coast to coast, Americans are ready for a fun—yet safe—summer season.
We’re not 100% in the clear, so social distancing is still in play. Decorators know our homes will continue to serve as multipurpose sanctuaries for working, learning, relaxing, and more. Therefore, expect to see plenty of ‘flex space’ inspired designs.
Still, with so much hope and optimism in the months ahead, styles are also changing. Last year’s soothing colors have subtly evolved into shades of empowerment. Cottagecore designs are as popular as ever, but the new ‘Japandi’ movement is also making waves. And with so many people saving their money in 2020, you’ll be happy to see designers splurging with the return of luxury furnishings, shimmer, glitter, and shine.
So, you ready for real change? As warm weather sets in, start your redecorating journey with these upcoming interior design trends.
7 Home Decorating Trends for Spring/Summer ‘21
1. Japandi Style
East meets west in this chic new interior design trend. Experts describe Japandi just as it sounds: a mix of “Japanese” and “Scandi” styles, which balances clean, simple shapes, natural wood, and organic stone accents. Fabrics are soft and textured; color palettes are clean and muted; and furniture feels effortless with materials like wicker and rattan. It’s a harmonious aesthetic—whether home is your evening retreat or primary workspace.
2. Earth Tones
Nature was a huge inspiration in 2020 interior design. The trend isn’t going away, as color experts say warm sand, sage green, terra cotta orange, and similar shades continue to cover everything from walls and furniture to cabinetry and upholsteries. Designers remind us that the ‘earthen’ vibe isn’t limited to browns and greens. Find courage and empowerment in pale pinks, deep blues, and other shades of mother nature.
3. Curved Silhouettes
Back in the 1950s, designers rejected hard, straight lines in favor of rounder, curvier shapes. When applied to furniture, your environment appears more comfortable, inviting, soft, and relaxed. With pandemic stress still wearing off, homeowners will continue to cocoon themselves at home surrounded by round cushiony chairs, circular rugs, and fluffy sofas that look more like a cloud than a couch.
4. House Plants
During the peak of COVID, people revisited the importance of clean home air. Enter house plants, an easy solution for homeowners looking for something to care for—that cares back for them. With their warm ambiance and minimal maintenance, houseplants keep us close to nature, infuse your space with tranquility, and help cleanse and purify the air.
5. Accent Walls
Or should we call them Zoom backgrounds? Now that coworkers, clients, and students have full view inside our homes, remote workers are finally looking around. Instead of allowing empty walls and blank spaces to go unused, consider installing a row of shelves or a new bookcase unit. Displaying your books, candles, picture frames, and other small items stimulates visual interest and helps showcase your personal style.
6. Bright Yellow
Summer ’21 is all about positive vibes. Warm weather conjures images of pretty daffodils, lemonade, and of course, the sun. It’s no surprise designers are mimicking nature’s happy color by using yellow in unexpected places. Showrooms are filling up with funky yellow couches, throw pillows, chairs, rugs, and patio furniture. Expert tip: pair vivid yellow accents with shades of soft gray to bring the look back down to earth.
7. Luxury Touches
The pandemic had us all eating humble pie. But a year and a half later, the pared down aesthetic has become boring. Smart homeowners will keep their practical furniture, but add a little sparkle with luxe accessories and accents. Designers are excited to restore the glitz and glam of the 2010s with dramatic chandeliers, lamps, vases, and more. When done tastefully, luxury décor feels right at home.
