It would seem that just a few days ago we met a new decade, and it's already 2021! Time flies by, and trends change with it. How a stylish interior will look like in 2021 - you will find out in our material.
Natural shades
If in the past decade, designers sought to obtain bright colors, sometimes reminiscent of the drawing of children's colored pencils, then in the new decade everything is different.
Now the ball is ruled by complex shades - those in which several colors are mixed at once. There is no pure green or beige in nature. In reality, any natural material hides several shades. Even ordinary leaves of house plants combine a wide range of colors: from light green to olive and even red-gray.
The 2020 quarantine forced many to switch to home work, and last spring people even had to stay at home for 3 months all the time. Therefore, the closer the color scheme of the room is to the natural one, the more comfortable it is to be in the room for a long time.
Smooth shapes
Continuation of the trend towards "naturalness". In nature, there are practically no perfectly even 90 ° angles. And if you want your interior to convey this mood, then choose furniture with smooth shapes and rounded corners.
So the home will seem much "softer", even if it is made in strict black and white colors.
Natural materials
This trend began to gain popularity about 2-3 years ago and will not give up its positions for a long time. In the modern world, almost any thing can be made from substitutes: from a rayon bed to an imitation stone washbasin.
Outwardly, they resemble natural materials, but their characteristics are often completely different. Therefore, wood, stone, ceramics, silk, cotton, linen, etc. are returning to fashion again.
Minimalism
The trend that marked the interior fashion of the 10s remains with us in the new decade. The pandemic and the ensuing quarantine forced people to reconsider their attitude towards their home. And now even the Plyushkins began to value freedom and space, getting rid of unnecessary things.
The main requirement for minimalist interiors is that each item must carry a functional load. If a thing is “just like that”, it should be removed or a useful function should be invented.
Plants
Fashion of the new time is natural. And live plants fit perfectly into this trend. Moreover, they even meet the requirements of minimalism, as they perform the function of saturating the air with oxygen.
Choose plants based on the size and function of the room. Especially popular are the easy-care chlorophytum, Benjamin's ficus, sansevieria (mother-in-law's tongue), bastard (money tree) and cypress.
Caring for the environment
Recycling of old materials can often be seen in modern interiors. And if you can't surprise with soap dishes made of recycled plastic, then TERRAZZO tiles, created from used porcelain stoneware tiles, are mesmerizing.
Also in the trend of "sustainability" fits into the use of simple natural materials that are mined in your area. Shortening the transportation chain reduces our carbon footprint and makes nature a little cleaner.
A new breath of old things
If old things are in good condition, they do not need to be thrown away. The miracles of modern restoration, new fittings and updated colors will completely change the look of a sideboard or table that is boring to the eye.
If the thing is not subject to restoration, it can be handed over for recycling. So it will "give life" to a completely new subject and fit into the tendency of "caring for nature."
Separation of zones
About 10-20 years ago, "open spaces" were at the peak of their popularity - they combined several functions in one large room at once. For this, the walls were demolished and all partitions were removed. Over time, this moved to apartments: 5-7 years ago, everyone was en masse reducing the number of rooms, creating a "space without zones."
But the pandemic has made its own adjustments here too. If 2-3 years ago, many only thought about zoning a room, then the inability to concentrate in a house without partitions put everything in its place.
One of the key interior trends in 2021 is a clear distribution of zones. Now, even within the same room, the space is divided into work and home. This is done by different methods - from finishing to shelving with partitions. If the area of the room allows, then even the construction of new interior walls is permissible.
Mix of styles
Another trend that opposes the trends of the past. If in the 2000s and 10s most people made a "clean" interior in the same style (even if it did not correspond to the internal state of the residents), now everything is becoming more individual.
Having been at home for several months in a row, people no longer want to live in a "lifeless box" - now the interior becomes a means of displaying the tastes of the owner of the room. Designers take this into account and help them find the mix of styles that best reflects the mood of the owner.
Rational use of space
This trend was born out of the same desire as minimalism - the opportunity to get as much free space as possible. Expect even smarter storage systems. Ceiling built-in wardrobes and 2-in-1 furniture will receive a new round of popularity.
The main trend of 2021 is complete freedom of expression. Now you don't need to regularly change furniture to keep up with changing trends. Today's interior trends show that the main thing is to live in harmony with yourself and with nature.
To get a stylish and functional interior that will meet all your needs - order your individual design project. Experts will help you create a dream apartment you will want to return to.
Ksenia Semenova, manager of the Regamma company:
“Since fashion is cyclical, the trend for naturalness has been brewing for quite some time. Therefore, all of our recent work is done using natural materials such as wood and marble, and in complex shades such as "gray-green" or "pastel blue". Even at the stage of the design project, we think over the ergonomics of using space, working out hidden storage systems that will perform several functions at once."
