For the past two years (if not longer) color trends in home renovations, furnishings, and décor have been leaning towards the cool gray tones. Although we still do like our gray tones — color trends for 2021 are seeing a push towards warmer tones and natural connections.
Sherwin-Williams 2021 Color of the Year: Urbane Bronze
This earthy shade brings new warmth to your space. We suggest adding hints of bronze to your gray shades with home décor or accent walls. Bronze tones in lighting, throw pillows, paintings, accent tables, and chairs are a perfect way to introduce the color to your living space.
Benjamin Moore’s 2021 Color of the Year: Aegean Teal
Dreaming of that vacation by the blue-green waters along the Mediterranean coast? Well, you can now incorporate that color scheme into your home until it is safe to travel again. Teal can add a more lively or calming tone depending on how you incorporate the color scheme. We’ve also seen kitchen cabinets with this beautiful soothing color, which adds interest and brings the space to life. Succulent plants are a wonderful way to add various shades of teal while creating a calming environment. If you need a more lively feel, try an accent wall, large painting, or furniture in this color tone to fashion the perfect combination with the bronze.
Interior Design Trends for 2021
The natural elements of earth, when combined with our interiors, results in the perfect human-nature connection. By adding plants to your indoor and outdoor areas, not only do you produce a more inviting space, but you also reap great health benefits.
Another great way to add handcrafted organic materials is the new Bohemian trend that works well with accent furnishings, rugs, and décor. Feel free to add other earthy elements such as wood floors and exposed wooden beams for an even earthier vibe.
Staying mostly indoors in 2020 may have you rethinking your design choices and living space. We hope these color themes and trends inspire you to create a space that is perfect for you, whether you want to establish a more calming environment or add more color and liveliness to your current décor.
