The pandemic’s disruption of our social lives in recent years has also altered our creative expression and how much importance we give to our newly forged emotional ties to our homes.
Join us as we examine the development of our four interior design trends, all of which still have the same core principles. Our sanctuary is our home.
What has led to this evolution of interior direction?
We had to reevaluate our “four walls” during the pandemic when everyone stayed inside. As much as “Home” has always served as our personal haven from the outside world, it has recently evolved into our sanctuary—a place of solace, protection, and cocooning. Our fashion trends heavily rely on color. While color has always been an important part of self-expression in our homes, as we move out of an uncertain time, it acquires new meaning and symbolism as we strive for optimism and hope as well as stability and balance in our lives. In addition to uplifting interiors, color also uplifts our spirits.
Many of us started using our homes as places to work, to educate our children, to find entertainment, and to discover new interests. Another major force behind the emerging design trends that deliver useful and adaptable functionality without ever compromising on comfort or style is the multipurpose nature of our living spaces. Ingeniously created work from home spaces and tiny libraries can be found in crevices and nooks. With a nod to five-star hotels, bathrooms are transformed into opulent, self-pampering spas.
Brighter times ahead
The first trend we’ve discovered creates the foundation for happier, more confident, and more optimistic times to come. Prepare to “Lighten Up.”. Lighten Up, which has a foundation of cheery brights, is inspired by various people, places, and things as well as by universal stories that have stood the test of time. It brings these elements together in a beautiful and harmonious way. Contrasting materials, surface finishes, and textures add a little drama and luxury to the ordinary. Celebrate the good things in life, such as happiness, connections, creativity, and comfort, with extravagance and unrestrained joy.
The upcoming style is Timeworn Treasures, which redefines home comforts. It’s all about cozy, artisan-crafted homes that are warmed by nostalgia and enhanced by the reassuring patina and textures of natural materials. Timeworn Treasures’ trend replaces the traditional cornerstones of luxury with a new rustic-luxe that is artisanal, “slow,” and understated. It is warm, lived-in, and characterful like all of our trends and is based on an earthy and organic color palette. Between form and function, furniture strikes a delicate balance. The handcrafted charm of tribal statement pieces coexists peacefully with mid-century design classics.
Our upcoming trend, Smooth Operator, combines the comfort of the well-known with the present-day desire for novelty while heavily referencing a retro aesthetic. This style layers clean interior lines with monochromatic and restrained color palettes for an air of cool, calm, and collectedness. Traditional design elements like arches and sinuous, sensual curves offer comfort on both a visual and physical level. Stone, concrete, and wood are made to be soft and fluid materials for monuments. Natural hues such as soft celery green, faded parchment, dusty lotus, and the opulent blush of cashmere pinks combined with tonal layering to create a warm, tactile, and restorative environment.
The “new normal” will be anything but normal, according to our final trend. The look established by Firm Foundations is one that is unwavering in its understated modern elegance and comfort while also emphasizing dependable function and practicality. With a soft and futuristic pastel color scheme, it gives the traditional industrial aesthetic a luxurious update. It combines an industrial, utilitarian vibe with the tenacity and strength of nature. An upbeat and calming backdrop for opulent living is created by moody hues, thoughtful textures, and pops of color.
We hope you’ve enjoyed these deep dive into interior design trends in a pos covid world.
