With 2020 soon coming to an end, many will be breathing a sigh of relief as we look forward to getting this surreal one behind us and hope that 2021 has better things in store.

It’s likely that you’ve already started making plans for the year ahead. If one of those plans is renovating/redecorating your house, then in this post we’re going to share some of the upcoming home décor style trends to look out for in the new year.

Hopefully, you’ll be able to find a style and design to suit your taste and budget.

Going bold

Bold colours on walls made a comeback in 2020 and are looking to be even more trendy in 2021. Colours such as deep navy blues, dark greys and even nearly black are something you’ll see a lot of next year. Although these can seem a bit too bold and even scary to work with – especially in smaller rooms, when they’re combined with the right elements, they can add a lot of depth, elegance and warmth to a room.

For example, pairing a dark blue or green feature wall with some softer shades or even some gold or brass accessories can turn a drab and boring room into something that is warm, inviting and even luxurious.

Warming up

If you have too many bold colours, it can have the opposite of the desired effect and feel quite cold. It can also make a room look much smaller, so combining this with warm wood tones is something you’ll be seeing in 2021 and it’s easy to see why this is going to be a popular look.

Whether it’s wood panelling (yes, that’s making a comeback) as a feature wall to give your room a statement look and added elegance, or simply a warm wood hardwood floor, it gives the perfect contrast to dark paint colours.

Getting back to nature

This year more than ever, it seems we’ve developed more of an appreciation for nature and the simple things in life. This is because most of us have had to get creative with how we spend our time during lock-down, and this new love of nature is going to be influencing a lot of the home décor design trends next year.

Internally adding different elements from nature, whether it’s handcrafted natural wood accessories or landscape pictures on the walls, is becoming very popular.

Outdoors is where a lot of the magic is happening though. If you’re lucky enough to have a good sized garden, there are many improvements you can make to the landscape. This ranges from turfing to allow plants and grass to bloom; to patios in order to give you and your family a safe space to socialise. When undergoing larger projects like this, you’ll be better off coordinating with landscape gardeners such as Valingo Landscapes who have the experience needed to truly design something beautiful. If you’re stuck for ideas on what to change, they can help you create your own personal sanctuary.

Sustainability

We all have a part to play when it comes to taking care of the environment, and this is reflected more and more in the designs that are constantly coming to the market.

We’ve all heard about sustainable fashion, but now sustainable living is what we need to be focusing on.

From up-cycled furniture, to naturally and ethically sourced materials and more focus on massively reducing the amount of plastic we use collectively, home décor designs are going to be leaning much more towards how they can be sustainable as well as beautiful and affordable.

We hope that these styles will help you get inspired and have given you some ideas to go on with when it comes to getting your house ready for next year and giving it a brand new look that you can show off and be proud of. Whether it’s a one-off renovation or you’re doing the entire house, these décor style trends will help you create something you love.
