Three Trends for 2021

I thought I would list three trends that I love for 2021. Let's face it, 2020 was HORRENDOUS so it's time to get your home ready for a new year and a new start with colour, some texture and a new trend. 

 

TOP: Livingetc.com BOTTOM: Ikea & Homecentre

Navy Blue:

One of the colours for 2021 is navy blue. Navy blue sofas, textiles and accessories, flood you home with this watery hue. If you want to add just a pop of this colour, then a throw, a cushion or a picture frame is enough of a nod. Go bold with a velvet navy bed frame, or a statement armchair in the corner of your living space. Let this colour add some drama and keep the rest of the room neutral. 


TOP: Pinterest BOTTOM: Left: Dubai Garden Centre Right: Wood Culture

Raw Wood:

 

A trend that has been making an appearance for a few seasons is raw food. Wood showing its lovely natural grain, it’s texture and uniqueness. Custom pieces can be made by a number of craftsmen including Wood Culture in Dubai or cheaper options from Ikea can be upcycled and ‘hacked’ to look expensive. Adding wood can add warmth to a space. A stool in a bathroom, a wooden dining chair at each end of the table or just add a wooden tray to the coffee table.

Textured Walls:

 

This is a very exciting trend: textured walls. Chalky paints that show your brush strokes, wallpapers that add a texture, thick plaster all amazing for adding this trend. If you are in rented and can’t add this to your home, then there are lots of removeable wallpapers that add this effect without the commitment. Seen on Pinterest and Instagram this trend is having a moment, team this with the other trends in my guide and you have yourself a ‘gramable home’
