14 interior design trends you'll fall in love with

1. All-White Interiors May Start To Date Themselves

The all-white interior craze has dominated design for the past couple of years up till 2021. The timeless trend takes various tones, forms, shapes, and exotic textures and it can be on anything such as rugs, tabletops, furniture, walls, etc.

All-white spaces generally feel warm, alive, and inviting. You can never go wrong with white. However, that seems to be getting a little old now. People are now drifting towards combining different colors, patterns, and textures.

2. Minimalist

This is something that we don’t think will go away any time soon. In a nutshell, it incorporates just a few high-quality and state-of-the-art design pieces. A huge part of the minimalist interior trend is the open floor plan.

However, since homes are now being used to serve multiple functions, there’s more need for privacy. Ultimately, if there’s a lack of privacy, there’s a lack of function. As a result, dividers are being used as the solution. Glasses that are partially blinded may also be used.

3. Recreative Spaces - Functional Spaces when SoHo

According to the concept of Small Office-Home Office (SoHo), interior design is used to optimize an employee’s productivity. This calls for the creation of spaces that promote recreation and work at the same time.

According to interior designers, a well-organized space translates to more productivity. There are many ways in which you can get creative without needing to take bathroom breaks all the time e.g. by adding an ambient lamp or fresh blooms on one's study desk.

4. Barn Doors Could Be Replaced By Other Types Of Statement Entryways

Barn doors have been making a huge statement in the world of interior design for the past decade or so but now we speculate that this year they’re not going to be as popular. It’s highly likely that the trend will be replaced by other types of entryways such as statement panel glass doors, curved or arched doorways, or the classic French doors.

5. Modern Simplicity

It’s time to say goodbye to "past-century” interiors. Thanks to the simplicity of modern interior design, lots of people can’t resist the urge to keep up with it. Most of the new apartments and homes that are being brought up with a modern touch to their decor. One will admit that modern yet simple decorative spaces are pleasing to the eyes.

6. Industrial Styling May Be In

The industrial styling trend doesn’t seem to succumb to ennui and so interior designers do not expect that it’ll go out of style. Usually, it includes various aspects like high ceilings, exposed stonework, natural woods, and metallic elements.

7. Let The Light In

Letting the light in through the window never goes out of style. This iconic must-have style has started regaining its glory in the world of interior architectural design. Having large windows that allow lots of light inside a space is a total game-changer. The light rays not only illuminate the interiors naturally, but also allow relaxing and beautiful views of the surroundings while saving on electricity bill.

8. Multi-Functional Spaces

This will be the next rising trend. Modern-day homes have fewer partitions and the available spaces may be used for various functions. After adding a few modern interior design pieces, the living area may also function as the cooking and dining space.

9. A Clean Work Slate

Noticing and expecting to see more clean working slates. They don’t have to be colorful, fun, or have a unique look. Clean up well and the slate will become a focal point in the most wonderful way. Cluttered spaces make your mind feel clouded and this has a negative effect on productivity. Clean spaces bring out the true beauty of a home allowing you to be truly innovative.

10. Natural Elements

Natural trends were a thing long before this new decade set in but of late this aesthetic trend has been gaining momentum. More and more people find themselves increasingly drawn towards natural, warmer, and earthy elements. There has been a notable increase in the use of natural elements such as organic cotton, cork, silk, sisal, timber, and hemp.

11. Sustainable Building Materials

In the recent past, there has been an increasing awareness of the environment. People now prefer more natural and sustainable materials in all aspects of interior design. This applies to the wood, glass, and furniture too. The move towards a more eco-friendly world has significantly changed how people live. They have adopted conscious consumption habits which include using fewer products and buying second-hand pieces where applicable.

12. Smart Tech

Intelligent technologies have made it possible for digital and automated features to be added to various household fixtures. As a result, people’s lifestyles have been elevated significantly in the new millennium. Smart tech is no longer considered a luxury for most. It has become more like a necessity to upgrade to the “at home” technology. Generally, life gets simplified with the incorporation of tech such as Smart Glass or Smart Film technology.

13. Colors

Incorporating colors inside your home will add a touch of coziness to the decoration. Different colors may be used in different shades to bring out different effects. For example, warm colors like orange add a welcoming touch while darker colors like grey add depth to space. Colors are all you need to add whatever playful effect you need to in your home.
