The ‘grandmillennial’ trend is a twist on the popular ‘granny chic’ style. It’s been on the rise throughout 2020 as people craved a sense of comfort and nostalgia for their homes – and it’s going to continue to grow. The key for this trend is adding layers, to create a space that welcomes relaxation and eases anxiety.

Structured Simplicity:

Evolving from the Nordic trend this look is stripped back style back. The purpose is to create a calm, comfy, chilled-out space to relax in – it’s all about making our homes a safe, inviting space to rest and regenerate. If you home is your haven, this trend is for you. A personal sanctuary that you enjoy, that you don’t treat as a showpiece and nothing is reserved for best. Furniture feels comfortable and inviting with comfortable sink-into sofas and hearty tables to gather around. You like a low-maintenance look with weathered woods, faded tones and time-worn finishes.

Honest comforts:

You’ll sense a running theme for the hottest trends, and that’s comfort. Like never before we’re looking to create a cocooning space in ours home, to escape the outside world. Layers of cuddly textures are a simple and easy trend to incorporate into your home decor ideas. Introduce different types of natural textures and materials in similar colour shades to add personality and character to a room without overwhelming with bright colours. Textures and tactile qualities are taking the place of bold colours for adding interest.

Dried flower displays:

‘One of the biggest trends we can expect to see in 2021 is the use of dried flowers to decorate the home,’ Jules explains. A change from the usual green and vibrant houseplants, which are still as fashionable as ever, using dried flowers last longer and don’t require any maintenance. From Pampas grasses and dried flowers to seed heads, their aesthetic has a wide appeal right now – you’ve only got to scroll through Instagram to see the proof! 

Roof windows:

Homes filled with natural light are always high on the wish list. More than ever, homeowners are opting to enhance the daylight in their homes by installing roof windows and skylights. This makes maximising natural light a viable option in the gloomiest of properties. Popular for modern kitchen extension ideas but also in home offices and open-plan living spaces, this trend is perfect for any room.

Earth colours:

Using the colour palette provided by nature is the hottest colour trend for 2021. Earthy toned pigments are proving popular when it comes to selecting a bold shade for an accent wall, tiles or key furniture pieces.

‘This year will see many go for a dark blue or dark green colour to make a statement. The trick is to keep it subtle and not overdo it. Choose one part of the room decor such as one wall, a rug or the sofa cushions to introduce the colour, making sure that the rest of the accessories in the room complement it well as your home decor ideas.

Japandi:

There’s been a strong Japanese design element running as an undercurrent through interior collections over the past few seasons. It’s really coming into it’s own as a stand out trend. A mash-up of elegant Japanese minimalism and rustic Scandinavian simplicity, Japandi is a hybrid trend bringing together the best of these two much-loved styles. This trend is the one for you if your home is your sanctuary and you take a less-is-more approach with uncluttered spaces, clean lines and a calm, subdued colour palette.

Cottagecore cosiness:

‘This trend reflects a common need for comfort and cosiness with a touch of elegance and British quirkiness’ explains Jules. ‘Think quaint patterns, leafy, nature-inspired prints, gold accessories and cute ornaments to add a splash of personality to your home.’
