In the first half of 2020, the main exhibitions of furniture and decor were held, reflecting the main trends in interior design 2021.
Interior Styles 2021
Style for personality
Experts drew attention to the personalization of interiors. Requests for specific styles go away. Clients are increasingly asking to arrange a home according to their lifestyle. First of all, customers turn to designers for coziness and personal comfort.
From here comes the need for craft furniture, works of modern art. Interest in antique things, objects with history is growing.
Art Deco as a trend for a new interior
Bright colors and bold ornaments, luxurious furniture come to the fore. Art Deco replaces the humble Scandinavian style. Interior design like the 20s is observed not only in residential premises, but also in public spaces.
The fashion for rich finishes, attention to sophisticated colors, flowing lines is a reference to Italian design. However, the Scandinavian style does not go away at all. Northern design is becoming more sophisticated and atmospheric.
Boho
But in 2021, the trend returns to create interiors in vibrant boho. Juicy shades, an abundance of patterns, a combination of decor from different eras – meets the features of style and the desire of customers. Boho is particularly harmonious in children’s rooms, where a laid-back overall picture is needed, combined with sophistication.
Forward to 1970
General trends in styles and colors look back at the 70s of the 20th century. Warm shades of terracotta, ocher, olive colors, combining them with other bright palettes – all this is typical for the decoration of apartments and houses of those years. The return of velvet and geometric ornaments also speaks of the 70s.
Interior Color Trends 2021
Dulux announced Spiced Honey as the color of the year. This color can be given a different character, combining it with a certain palette. Spiced Honey can become invigorating or soothing. Lovers of the classics boldly use honey to create a warm interior. Those who prefer a modern style are advised to choose white as a harmonious pair of honey.
Of the other neutral colors, combined with an active ornament, experts recommend:
- French vanilla
- mint;
- light brown hazelnuts;
- gray green;
- warm gray.
The desire of citizens to be as close to nature as possible has been preserved for several years. The lack of space to put live greens is offset by the use of green fabrics, the choice of a natural palette and moss in the wall decor.
For several years, pink has not lost ground. Delicate nude perfectly harmonizes with the neutrals listed above and with active colors. Those who are tired of pink are more likely to choose red and purple colors in 2021 in all the variety of shades, mostly warm.
Since cold Scandinavia has faded into the background, the priority is more intimate, dark. There is a tendency to use muted blue and green in combination with golden colors.
Attracting attention, making an accent is possible not only with the help of active colors. There is also a game in contrasts, so the trend is decoration and furniture in black and white.
Ornaments
In 2021, more attention is paid to accents on the floor and ceiling. The “fifth wall” returns again: the ceiling is decorated with hand-painted or covered with ornaments.
Designers connect an additional sense organ – tactility to the perception of the interior. Wallpaper without an ornament or pattern still has its own expressiveness: options are selected with a texture for leather, suede, stone, etc.
Preference for wallpaper with an enlarged ornament. It looks interesting where the decoration of furniture echoes the pattern of walls and decor. The geometry itself becomes more bold, contrasting, large.
Geometry
The desire to relax leads to the modern tendency to use asymmetry both in the arrangement and directly in the form of the furniture itself. The exception is the classic interiors, but even here, free placement is increasingly being used, only the main objects remain symmetrically.
Furniture in the spirit of the 70s is characterized by soft flowing features. It’s not necessary to go retro, but this way you can soften the atmosphere and create a relaxed atmosphere.
Furniture Trends 2021

The finish is dominated by matte surfaces, which also set up relaxation.
Interest in cult furniture from the middle of the last century, natural wood, has not gone anywhere.
Designers pay attention to the smallest details: contrasting edging, unusual stitching, bright fittings – everything that makes the interior as diverse as possible is in fashion.

As for the design theme, 2021 takes ideas in all possible corners – from space to the deep sea.

Marble, Concrete and Terrazzo
Marble remains in trend, but pink, black and gray rocks are more preferred. Since last year, there has been a terrazzo in decoration and furniture.
Concrete plafonds and decor elements act as an accent of the author’s interior. But concrete finds the most interesting application in bathrooms. Fonts and sinks treated with special impregnation are durable and look unusual and new.
Metal
