After a rough year in 2020, many people are looking to put the past behind them and move forward. Nevertheless, much of what happens in the coming year will be influenced by the Coronavirus fiasco since we haven’t deciphered it yet. One of the sectors that this will affect is interior designing and decoration. With the pandemic restricting virtually everyone to their homes, people have shifted a lot of focus to make these spaces efficient, comfortable, and conducive. Therefore, it’s safe to say that the pandemic will influence most of the home styling trends of 2021.
Before COVID-19 struck, people didn’t spend much of their time at home. Between working, socializing, and running other errands, people barely had time to enjoy the tranquility of their homes before the pandemic. For this reason, many people tended to overlook how well they styled their homes. However, the coronavirus changed all of this. People are now becoming more hands-on when it comes to home decor and styling. Whether it’s changing small details such as repositioning furniture or massive remodeling like switching to engineered wood flooring, people are getting involved in improving their homes. If you’re looking to get started in styling your home, here are three stylish trends you should consider trying.
Focus on Home Offices
Due to the pandemic, most governments imposed strict regulations to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus disease. Unfortunately, this led to outlawing public gatherings of all kinds, like placing everyone under house arrest. Due to this, most workers had to adopt the work-from-home lifestyle. Therefore, most people have to incorporate a workspace into their homes. For you to do this correctly, there is a lot to consider. Finding the perfect space is the first crucial step towards creating a stylish and functional home office. While some have the luxury of using an extra room as an office, those with limited space to spare have to be cautious. Even so, ensure that your remote workspace blends seamlessly with other rooms and areas of the house to achieve the perfect balance.
Blending Greys and Yellows
Pantone decided to name two colors as the 2021 shade of the year. The two colors are ultimate gray and illuminating yellow. These two different yet complementing shades will dominate the home decor market this year. These emboldening shades will go a long way in helping our quest for vitality as we search for hope and courage to overcome the pandemic. The fusion of these two shades expresses a message of resilience and determination needed to surmount the pandemic. You can incorporate these shades on many elements around the home, such as kitchen cabinets, carpets, wallpapers, and more. Not only will they look chic and well blended, but they also brighten up the house and arouse positive energy.
Grandmillenial Style
You may already be familiar with the granny chic designing style, which involves using materials with chintz prints. On the other hand, the grandmillenial style is simply a fusion of modern living with olde worlde elements. In other words, this style involves mixing contemporary designs with chic vintage elements. Many people believe that the grandmillenial style has been a massive hit because the vintage floral prints are nostalgic. They take us back to the warm feeling we had when we visited our grandparents back in the old days. With the pandemic wreaking havoc in our lives, such nostalgic styles uplift us by reminding us of a happier time.
Final Thoughts
The Coronavirus pandemic has given us a new appreciation of our homes. Given that most people are stuck at home during these uncertain times, the best thing would be to make the most out of it. Remodeling your home using an excellent design and style would do you a lot of good. Moreover, with many adopting the remote-worker lifestyle, it would be shrewd to optimize the home environment to accommodate your job responsibilities. Exploring the stylish home trends highlighted above will help you get started on your remodeling journey.
