9 of the Best Interior Design Trends in 2021

We have all been spending more time at home than ever before and want our homes to be cozy, comfortable, and balanced. Making our homes feel welcoming is key. Natural-looking pieces and lighter woods are incorporated into 2021’s best interior design trends. A natural but sustainable design at an affordable price is important and adding a pop of color for warmth will replace many basic tones to give your room a glow.

Traditional Decor

The 90’s look is coming back strong. With spending more time at home, we want both a functional and a cozy feel (instead of that stiff, formal look). That way our house is warm and inviting.

Rounded furniture is soft and appealing. Look for sofas and chairs that are comfortable. Make sure you can get your work done well then watch your favorite show or curl up in a warm blanket and read a book on the furniture you selected to end those busy days. Simple decorative carvings and homey upholstery characterize this style.

This traditional kitchen with the exposed brick is so inviting and features our timeless Ladera 1-Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet in Stainless Steel.

Lightened Woods

These uplifting toned wooden pieces will blend perfectly with the cozy feel and give a fresh, modern look to your home. The minimalist interior design trend is here to stay and its features can be implemented into any style. This look also gives a sleek feel with a little texture.

Our Neera 1-Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet in Matte Black adds that modern feel to these classic wood countertops.

The Natural Look

Cane, leather, plants, and ceramics are becoming increasingly popular for decor. They have a calming effect and add texture. Be sure to layer textures and fabrics and choose warm greens or earthy tones, deep reds and browns, or a bold blue to complete your room.

Adding images of animals, flowers, or leaves or a fun patterned wallpaper are finding their way home again and give a cohesive feel to that natural look.

This DIY cane vanity is pure perfection and our Breckenridge 2-Handle 8″ Widespread Bathroom Faucet in Brushed Nickel sits so nicely on it.

Rustic Vogue

This decorative style is characterized by warmth, with natural materials like wood that have grain and texture. It is one of the few cottage looks that appears more often and continues to stay on trend throughout 2021.

This charming kitchen has rustic floors and a farmhouse sink paired with our Neera Culinary Faucet in Brushed Gold for that added impact.

Handmade Styles

DIY is as big as ever! We have seen a rise in handmade items from HGTV shows and popular stores on platforms like Etsy. This interior design trend gives personality and character to your home.

Knowing that you or someone created it specifically for you adds that something special to your home. Incorporating hand-made products, custom designs and accent pieces are making a massive wave in home design.

How fun is this DIY shower? The blogger re-built her entire bath by hand (shower, tiles, vanity, floor, you name it) and included our Contempra 1-Handle Tub and Shower Trim in Brushed Gold.

Vintage Vibes

Victorian-era interior design trends, Art Deco, Grandmillennial, ’90s styles, and Cottage looks take over the home decor trends for 2021. Make room for all pieces repurposed, antique, salvaged, and retro.

These pieces are blended into other trends mentioned here to give an inviting feel to a room. Glass and stone also find their way into home decor. Try mixing glass and marble in accent pieces to go perfectly with the furniture you picked and your lighting choices.

Grandmillennial

Classic designs, patterns, and history-filled pieces will make their way to the scene. Each piece has a story and significance, and the style focuses on sustainable and affordable options.

You never know what you may discover at yard sales, thrift stores, flea markets, and antique shops.

We love that our Courant 2-Handle Bridge Kitchen Faucet in Polished Chrome has that antique-y feel and still pairs well with any decor.

Shabby Chic

Unrefined luxury and timeworn opulence characterize this interior design trend.

Mix and match new pieces with vintage ones. Nothing needs to be restored that way you keep the pieces aged, lived in, chipped, or faded to create this fun look.

Check out this bath with the vintage green vanity and our Ashfield Single Control Vessel Bathroom Faucet in Brushed Nickel.

A Pop of Color

While minimalistic furnishing usually comes in neutral tones, bold paint colors on walls and accent pieces like throw pillows will help your furniture pop.

Fun and intense color schemes will give your home warmth, edge, and some major personality.

Before you go painting away in any room, look up color psychology and pay attention to how a particular color, hue, or shade makes you feel when looking at it. Different color palettes can impact your emotions, so ensure a color makes you feel good.

Adding a color to a living room or your new home office is a good place to start! We also love how this blogger used patterned wallpaper and bright blue paint on her vanity with our Contempra 2-Handle 8″ Widespread Bathroom Faucet in Brushed Gold.
