If you’re feeling inspired, read on to see how you can incorporate these looks and refresh your home for the new year. Here's our insights into the 2021 Interior Design trends.
Calming Coastal
Think of beige and brown as your base colour palette and use black and white as your accents. Embrace stone/marble in your coffee, console or side tables. Bold coloured statement pieces like velvet cushions will be sure to add the luxe factor to your living space. Opt for curved sofas or armchairs and interesting profiles on sideboards and buffets. Your furniture should be accompanied with soft and cosy rugs underfoot.
With a neutral luxe theme, it’s important to create balance between coziness and elegance. Most average homes lack the necessary decor and 3 seater sofa options to create the right ambience. Accessorise with detail-packed vases and sculptural ornaments to add sophistication and class to your space.
Indoor and artificial plants have become increasingly popular as a way to bring calming effects into the home To create this ambience, consider using tropical wall art to refresh and create an energising style that’s guaranteed to create a focal point in your space. Coordinating tropical art designs with contemporary furniture and decor is one of the key elements of this style.

In most modern rustic spaces, you’ll see materials such as wood and stone. Whether this is in the form of a coffee table or decor, the warm tones of wood are always welcomed. The addition of modern furniture combined with natural materials is what makes the most stunning spaces. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean all elements of the space must be considered modern. You can easily choose one or two statement pieces to get the point across.
Calming Coastal
We saw this style taking shape in 2020, with many homes and interiors being designed to reflect ocean and coastal escapes. The undermining idea of this style is to bring relaxing, laid-back vibes into the home, especially since the previous year was predominantly spent indoors. To incorporate this style inside your home, opt for earthy and grounded shades. Choose whitewash walls as a foundation and incorporate beige, charcoal, camel, and blue tones to create a coastal vision.

A common feature we’ve seen in coastal homes are pendant lights. When an item appears to be floating above or adjacent to a kitchen benchtop, it gives the illusion of added space. Rattan and cane furniture pieces bring texture into this theme whilst creating a light and airy feel. If you have timber flooring, choose to leave the boards bare without coverage from a rug or floor mat. This will further enhance the calming coastal vibe.

Modern Industrial
Ever thought about bringing wood flooring, exposed brick walls, and metal into your home? This might seem like a bold idea but there's now a name for this - modern industrial design. If you already have exposed brick walls, then you’re halfway there! Raw walls, exposed bricks, resins, and concrete give an industrial, unfinished look which pair with modern furniture perfectly.

Lighter wooden furniture such as a dining table, entertainment unit or buffet will create the perfect industrial feel for your home. Opt for dark dining chairs and other accents to contrast with the light wood. The skillful composition of all these elements will allow you to obtain different interpretations of your home: industrial but modern and original. When choosing your decor, remember to avoid using plush fabrics as it could clash with the industrial environment. Accessorise with large wall art, metal structures, and other interesting objects guaranteed to start a conversation.
