Every year, we consistently see a few interior design trends taking the forefront and people’s preferences changing with the latest creative inclinations. However, we have to admit that 2021 has, by far, brought in the greatest number of unique design trends over the span that we have been in business as an interior company in Gurgaon. The home colour of the year was something very different than the past popular choice. The themes that homeowners wanted shifted from the general convention. In this post, we list 10 Spring/Summer Interior Trends that will Dominate 2021 and we are sure that most of them are here to stay.
How design trends have changed in 2021?
To discuss this, we will have to take you to 2020 and point towards the pandemic that forced most of us to stay home for a good part of that year. As we approached and welcomed 2021, our lifestyles were completely changed as we built our own little world in and around our homes, forcibly, and almost forgot what the outside world looked like. These aspects influenced many 2021 design trends that we are just about to discuss as almost all of us started looking for the entities that we missed from the physical world within our homes. As an interior company in Gurgaon, we have frequently received requests on lines of these summer/spring trends and we are delivering them with our usual luxurious touch.
10 Summer/Spring Interior Décor Trends
1. Minimalistic Japandi design
If you are a frequent Instagrammer, you have probably heard of this 2021 summer/spring design trend already. Japandi décor is a unique combination of Japanese and Scandi design elements that encapsulate the concept of minimalism and harmony. The simplicity of this style brings out the elegance of all elements present in your home and prioritises aesthetics above all. Won’t we need a calm setting when we are stuck at home?
2. Biophilic home décor
In simple words, a home décor concept with turnkey interiors and house plants. Humans, by evolution, are meant to be amidst nature and when that requirement was taken away by the pandemic, we obviously wanted more plants in our homes. Coupled with custom luxury furniture, house plants can add both vibrancy and solace and this is why more people are moving towards this design in 2021.
3. Cottage-like luxurious furniture
When you hear the word cottage, what is the first thought that comes to mind? A vacation by the beach where you can relax without worries. People have missed travelling in 2020 and many homeowners now want the cottage-feel right inside their homes. By cottage-like luxurious furniture, we mean rustic wood finish, textured surface, subdued lighting and timeless pieces.
4. Earthy and neutral paint tones
Till 2020, grey dominated the interiors of most luxurious homes but 2021 took the crown away and placed it upon a more modernistic version of taupe. Recent trends in house painting designs and colours favour this mushroom-y beige as the tone is both earthy and warm. Against this backdrop, neutral furniture is becoming the highlight that offers a peaceful look.
5. Custom/Corner Home Offices
How hard is it to use your dining table both for dinner and as your work desk? With more than one person working from home in the same space, the need for a dedicated home office skyrocketed in 2021. Most homeowners are asking for a corner home office design to find seclusion. Others are shifting to bigger homes so as to convert the guest room into a home office.
6. Creative Storage all around
Our frequency of supermarket visits dropped in 2020 and we need to stock up on almost everything. But that can never come at the expense of our home décor. At Alive Studio interior company in Gurgaon, we used to build creative storage spaces for our customers and it finally became a trend in 2021. Think kitchen pantry, cabinet-coffee counter hybrid, and more.
7. Wellness-centric design
Would you believe us if we say that showers are vanishing from bathrooms? Instead, they are being replaced by luxurious bathtubs where people can relax after a hard day. Now it makes more sense. Wellness design trends are on the rise and its penetration is visible in almost every aspect of home décor.
8. Mid-Century plus Modern décor
Strictly contemporary designs reminded most people about their offices before 2020. But in 2021, that was no longer an issue. Hence, the luxury furniture trend shifted towards a hybrid of mid-century and modern where homeowners can have the best of both worlds. It is now both a home and a place that reflects the tastes of the current century.
9. Custom geometric furniture
Mid-century homes are becoming modern with the help of custom geometric luxury furniture. Shelves are no longer simple wooden panels. They are accentuated by iron geometric designs. The same applies to lighting, wall patterns, posters and house plant vases. Here again, aesthetics stands on the centre stage.
10. Statement pieces
How can we ever design a home in 2021 without statement pieces? These make our home décor unique. They radiate our personality and taste. Statement pieces puncture the monotony of the neutral theme and offer vibrancy. A steel finish statement round mirror or a rustic showpiece on the mantle top goes a long way to complete your home décor.
