Five Trending Home Design Styles in 2021


Although we’ve bid adieu to 2020, many of the design styles in vogue in 2021 are still affected by the changes we experienced last year. Since many of us are still facing some form of restrictions in our daily lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an uptick in how people choose to spend more on the place they now often spend most of their time in: their homes.


If you’re seeking inspiration to do the same, here are the five design styles that people have been adopting throughout 2021 and may find a place in your home as well:

Design with tranquillity

For many of us, redesigning our homes to become our safe space has become even more crucial since last year – and that trend is still holding strong in 2021. Tranquillity design can mean various things in practice, from choosing muted colours to adding a touch of nature by placing a mini waterfall.


Revamping your floors is also a popular choice to create a sense of peace in your homes. Furniture made from materials such as rattan can be a great addition to your living space, whether you’re placing them in your kitchen as a fruit basket or in your bedroom as an end table.

Multi-purpose rooms are here to stay

Few of us have the privilege of owning large areas of land for our homes, but since many of us are confined in our homes for most of 2020, we’ve nevertheless come to realize the need for having extra space in our homes. For those of us with limited space that usually means creating rooms that can function for more than one purpose.


What that translates into can be a combination of many things, from gym/living room to home office/meditation space. Configuring multi-purpose rooms requires you to consider choosing furniture that can be used for multiple functions as well. Having things like sofa beds or a foldable dining table can be an excellent investment if you want to start building your multi-purpose areas.

Vintage is back

Perhaps nostalgia for better days is what’s driving us to decorate with more vintage items. Nevertheless, regardless of the underlying reason, there’s no doubt that vintage interiors are making a comeback, from the mid-century era with its bold coloured sofas to the Art Deco with its metallic tabletops.


If you want to introduce vintage elements to your home, no need to make drastic changes. Statement pieces can help a lot with remaking the feel of a room, from gigantic geometrical mirrors to lace-lined sofa pillows.

Bring nature to your homes

The outside world becomes something that we don’t get to experience on a daily basis during the quarantine periods in 2020, and that’s why many of us are bringing them into our homes instead. Adding plants to your homes can be a great way to create a refreshing aura and adds a touch of warmth in spaces lacking a personal touch.


If you’re feeling ambitious and have the space to do it, consider building yourself a garden to really get the full feel of having your own green space. Be it indoor or outdoor, creating your personal garden can be a great DIY project to spend your free time with. You could also make your garden not only pleasant to look at but functional by planting vegetables and herbs that you often use in your kitchen.

Colours that comfort

Since the people who would be spending the most time inside your homes are you and your loved ones, then the colours you choose to decorate your home should be ones that can leave you comfortable. It’s up to you to define what colours you feel comfortable around.


Some of us may feel that the lighter, earthy tones make us feel relaxed, while for others, bold jewelled tones give off the pleasant vibe that they want to have in their homes. Find the colour palette that leaves you with the serenity you seek.


With the COVID-19 pandemic still looming over us, most of the home design styles in 2021 are still intended to make people feel comfortable in their homes. From returning to vintage stylings to choosing a new colour palette for the new year, there is more than one option for you to choose from in regards to how you’ll transform your dwellings.
