Are you looking to jazz up your interior this year and are wondering what the latest design trends are?
2020 saw many of us spend more time at home, realising the importance of creating an inviting and comfortable space that can both enhance our creativity and productivity and help us relax and unwind after a long week. Therefore, the interior design world has never been so creative with textures, patterns, colours, and styles, which might feel overwhelming. No need to panic, though, as we’ve done some of the groundwork for you!
Nature-inspired elements
It’s no secret that connecting with nature is a great way to unwind, relax, and re-energise. And the great news is that with a few tweaks, homeowners and renters alike can bring the outdoors in, creating a natural vibe in their interior and turning their home into a peaceful sanctuary. And some of the most popular ways Aussies will incorporate nature into their interior in 2021 include:
Indoor trees and house plants
This year Aussies will be opting for lush and majestic trees such as the Banana tree Musa Basjoo or the Kentia Palm to turn their living space into a luxury tropical paradise. Other indoor plants such as indoor olive trees will also be used for a more Mediterranean feel. The sky's the limit when it comes to creating the perfect zen atmosphere with plants, so 2021 should see an uptake in indoor plants and trees across the board.
Organic materials
Nothing can give a place a more natural feel than organic materials. Adding a tropical Rattan accent table to a hallway or a jute rug and some linen curtains to a living room can immediately give a handcrafted and artisanal feel to a space reminiscent of the natural world.
Botanical and tropical wallpapers
Botanical and tropical wallpapers have been strong contenders over the last couple of years in the interior design world, and they are here to stay! Not only does a gorgeous botanical wallpaper add character to a space and can create a focal point that will significantly enhance a room, but it can also bring a natural, soothing vibe to a home interior, creating a Zen retreat.
Textured Walls
This year is all about giving some texture to our interiors. Adding texture to a couple of walls can instantly inject some personality into our interiors, breathing life into a home. Whether using wooden countryside paneling, textured wallpapers, wooden tiles with a raw finish, marble or porcelain tiles, vinyl, faux brick, or concrete, 2021 will see homeowners experiment with their walls to add depth and dimension to their homes and jazz up their interior.
‘’Grandmillennial’’ Style
The Grandmillenial style or ‘’granny chic’’ trend is taking the interior design world by storm in 2021! The idea is to give a modern update to the traditional granny look and turn a dull home into a colorful and more traditional yet instagrammable space using carefully curated vintage elements.
As a result, old-fashioned patterns will become paramount. Polka dots, needlepoints, stripes, or butterfly and floral prints can be mixed and matched and really enhance the space if done properly. And not only is granny chic the perfect option to liven up our interiors, but it's also a way to come back to a comfortable space that feels homey and encourages our creativity after a busy day.
Therefore, in 2021, expect faux fur, drapery, ruffles, lace, tapestry, or pleats to come back strong as a fantastic way to incorporate classic materials into a 21st century home interior design.
