A recap – Interiors Trends for this year and beyond will fall into two classes:
1> More is More. One Life. Go all out! People will return to shopping, buying, not really paying attention to where things are made or by whom, forgetting the pandemic even happened, feeling like they owe it to themselves to just live life. Bold styles and colors, wallpaper, materials mix, lots of pattern, lots of plants and anything to fill the space visually. Mixing materials and design styles, bold artwork, floral patterns, mix of scale, all of fun and playful interiors – humorous, exciting.
2> Less but Better. Thinking first, spending with caution, thinking sustainably, long-term, investment purchases, better quality, asking questions, considering the global impact, asking before each purchase, “Do I really need this ‘thing’?”. Softer tones, natural materials, vintage/secondhand, handmade, local, few plants and flowers but selected with care, minimalism, good organizational systems. Thoughtful design that feels like a warm hug. Careful placement of objects. Tactile, texture, sculptural, objects that have a function but also appear as art. More serious interior, calming, restful.
