Household furniture and itemsThe pandemic has changed not only our everyday lives, but also our home interiors. As lifestyles and working habits shifted, many homeowners began making their spaces more functional, but with a generous dose of personality.

From creating the ideal video-call backdrop to designing the ultimate kitchen, the newest trends incorporate greenery, natural materials, and perfectly curated indoor and outdoor space.

Here’s a look at the trends that are heating up in 2021!

 

Natural Kitchens & Bold Backsplash Hues

Homeowners are upgrading their kitchens this year, and many are using more natural elements to lighten up their space.

White wood cabinets can be swapped for wood grains that offer a touch of warmth, according to NAR. The natural trend can be paired with colorful backsplashes that pop with vibrance and personality.

 

Curating Ideal Outdoor Spaces 

It’s no secret that Minnesotans love being outside all year round. With the pandemic keeping people at home, many escape to the outdoors as much as possible. This has inspired the cultivation of backyard spaces that bring indoor amenities outside. Bonfire pits, patios and decks, screened-in porches, and even outdoor kitchens are growing in popularity.

 

Bringing Nature Inside With Plants

Having an extra dose of greenery can brighten any space - and studies show they reduce stress, boost your mood, and increase your productivity. Although plants have always been a staple, many homeowners are expanding their leafy domains, turning their living spaces into veritable arboretums.

Bright Colors and Patterns for Any Personality

In a year tainted by so much darkness and bad news, homeowners are brightening their spaces with pops of paint and wallpaper.

 

Painting a front door, adding a colorful accent wall, or using a grandmillennial floral style patterned wallpaper liberate homeowners from mundane interiors by adding more personality to their space.

 

Office Space - Here, There, and Everywhere

As multigenerational households compete for space where they can work, learn, study, exercise, or have a cozy place to read, privacy has become a precious commodity. Open floor plans are giving way to more walls and smaller rooms and many are creating home offices anywhere they can. Stylish spaces are popping up in basements, kitchens, nooks, and even attics, complete with Zoom-worthy backdrops including the newest fad: rainbow-colored bookshelves.

 

All of these design trends prove that with a little imagination and a bit of hard work, any interior can be improved with even a modest budget.
