Interior Design Trends 2021

Design Trends 2021

Hand’s up if you’re guilty of trawling Instagram and Pinterest for interior inspiration? Perhaps you buy every home magazine in search of the next big trend? If you’ve ever scrolled endlessly or flicked through the pages, wondering how homeowners have stayed on top of luxury interior designs, read on.

There is a relatively small pool of interior designers who are not following the curve but who are actually ahead of it, with insider knowledge of the future house interiors that will create the most envy-inducing results.

I was invited by The Huffington Post to comment on the 9 biggest home trends for 2021. Together with other top luxury interior designers, I contributed my industry insights to create an informative feature for anyone wanting to design their property in line with interior experts.

My predictions include luxury vinyl flooring – a very hard wearing and surprising upscale alternative to carpets used in even the most prime London interiors. Luxury vinyl is available in convincing wood, stone and even earthen plaster examples, and can be laid in fashionable herringbone patterns – a far cry from the thin vinyl bought on rolls and seen in many 1980s kitchens.

The Huffington Post was also compelled to feature my tip-off about ‘moody rooms’. I’m not suggesting we create places in which to sit and sulk - far from it! Instead, we will see the continued use of darker paint hues, with these shades being used more widely on walls, doors and even ceilings, rather than being confined to just kitchen islands and items of furniture. In fact, deep, bold paint colours scream design luxury this year. When used well, they create a rich, inviting and homely atmosphere that envelopes you in a comforting bear hug. 

Using an interior designer is the easiest way of staying ahead of home décor trends and a professional will know how to make The Huffington Post pointers work inside your home. I know the Rudolph Diesel Interior Design team can do wonders with Farrow & Ball’s Downpipe and Amtico’s Gardenia parquet floor but don’t be surprised if we start suggesting 2022’s interior designer trends.
