7 Living Rooms Design Trends in 2021

Let’s agree on the fact that 2020 taught us a lot. The year made an impact on our lives & made us realize the importance of staying close to our loved ones. As most of us were living alone, we understood the meaning of being multi-functional. For most lazy humans, yes, I am talking about myself; the bedroom was my office. For people attending meetings with their camera on (we feel you), the living room was the office. Now that the camera was on, everyone can see your house, so we tried our best to decorate that too. This lockdown also made us understand that a decorated house/room plays a significant role in uplifting spirits. This is how interior designers realized that it’s high time to change the décor of every room according to its importance. In today’s edition, we discuss the living room trends that will be taking over in 2021. Now let us first discuss the importance of living room & why one must take care of it-

2. It’s the place where the family spends most of the time together.
3. The living room reflects the personality & attitude of the family.

Turn your living room into a multi-functional space.

Multi-functional is the new normal. Our houses are turned into gyms, office, restaurant, and it’s essential to create a space in the living room to store the types of equipment. For example, furniture with a storage option will give you the liberty to keep your gym equipment, office documents/laptop with minimal disruption. According to our interior designers, these versatile furniture options & flexible storage space is trending & will stay in trend for a long time. With the current situation as new work policies, it looks like work from home visits for a long time, so why not create a space for work? 

Make your space more warm & cozy.

Since you’re going to spend a lot of time in your living room, why not make it warm & cozy. Furniture that is of smaller scale but warm colors will be more comfortable on the eyes & sitting too. Use warm color for walls & throw some blankets here & there & some pillows on them. According to interior designers, as we all are locked inside our homes, we all want to be in a space that feels like a big hug. Use your favorite colors, bring in your favorite piece of furniture & settle down. 

Invite nature in your living room

According to designers, this is one of the most underrated ideas. Who doesn’t love nature, & now that there are many succulent options available in the market, we don’t know what you are waiting for! These indoor plants are easy to care for are a great medium for you to feel free. These large plants with big leaves provide a sense of escapism, relaxation & grandeur. Add plants in your living room & enjoy serenity, peace & greenery inside your house. 

Add statement rugs

Hard flooring has been and will always be in trend among the houses & this means that you can still get that statement rug you always wanted. Layering always provides an extra added layer of comfort under the foot. They also add colors & texture in the room & delineate all the space, especially in open rooms. For statement rugs, consider the bold print & large patterns in bright colors to create the statement. Bold prints & bright colors scream attention. However, make sure to consider your room’s décor & wall colors to keep the contrast between them, or it can ruin the whole setup.

Sprinkle grandeur all over

Opulent grandeur keeps being in trend even in 2021, according to the interior designers. However, along with it, abundant lighting is also taking the space & furniture with velvet. You can use blush, grey & navy color as upholstery. 

To achieve the look, you can set up a velvet sofa set in your living room. However, if you don’t wish to invest in a couch, opt for the velvet chair or a great lighting fixture such as a chandelier to update your space.

Enhance your style with curves

If you are thinking about investing in furniture, maybe a desk, chair or sofa set, go for a curvy one. With the natural materials, adding curves will accentuate the aesthetics of your living space. For example- with your table, add an off square sofa set to bring out the softness. 

Bring the country in urban with a twist.

In this lockdown, people are craving outdoors. Just bringing plants in will not be sufficient to curb that appeal. Get those design pieces that scream country. Use wooden furniture with a rustic look. Add a fireplace made of stones to feel more at ease. Throw pillows, rugs, floral & warm rustic décor items to create a warm & opulent space. Opt for either minimum or maximum, and there’s no in-between. Hang paintings or a painting, add pictures, layers & pastel colours, and you are all getting, sit & go.
