Home Design Trends
Autumn is in full swing – we have officially said goodbye to summer. Before we know it, we will be welcoming winter with open arms. In between all the swift seasonal décor changes, you may be looking to switch some things around within your home design. If this resonates with you, consider a style option that is currently trending.
Trends change and grow every year. Some current trends include Color & Contrasting Patterns with Bold & Daring Décor. People are wanting to feel good in their homes – especially since we are about to spend even more time indoors with the cold.
Here are 4 ways you can start:
Add Color
The colors we surround ourselves with can affect our emotional state. The Pantone Colors of the Year 2021 are Ultimate Gray and Illuminating.
“The Pantone Color of the Year reflects what is taking place in our global culture, expressing what people are looking for that color can hope to answer,” shared Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute. “As society continues to recognize color as a critical form of communication, and a way to symbolize thoughts and ideas, many designers and brands are embracing the language of color to engage and connect.”
These colors can be implemented through the colors of your walls or in your décor.
Play around with paint colors in accents
Scale back on neutrals
Color has always been a powerful tool. Using it to revive your living space can also make a big change, simple. With winter around the corner, it’s important to incorporate more warm colors into your living room. This can help guests feel more comfortable and bring in an element of depth to your space.
Consider hues like Peacock Blue and Burnt Orange to add some character in your home.
Implement houseplants
Plants have always been an endearing accessory, but now, they’re more popular than ever. The pandemic encouraged more people to take on greater responsibilities in the comfort of their homes, and for some, that led to adding more flowers, succulents, and other plants to their design scheme.
Plants don’t just make a gorgeous accent piece — they also come with many additional benefits, according to interior decorator Emilie Munroe:
“Indoor trees and plants are going to continue their ascent into home design mainstay,” she shared with Good Housekeeping magazine. “They freshen indoor air, bring the clarity and calm of nature indoors, act like a sculpture on a shelf or tabletop, and caring for them is grounding and life-affirming. Developing a collection of interior plants wins on all levels: Aesthetic, functional, and mental.”
Succulents are a simple way to add real plants to your design while maintaining minimal maintenance.
Outdoor living areas
Your patio is often used for relaxing or congregating with those you care about. Have you ever dreamed about other ways to use the space? Workspaces and kitchens are popular “on-trend” options when focusing on outdoor area changes. Adding an outdoor kitchen to your deck or patio can transform the area from a barely looked at area to your new favorite outdoor living spot.
