The Top Five Design Trends of 2021
If homeowners and interior designers in 2020 had a truly sad year, obviously because of the corona virus pandemic and the ensuing social upheaval, perhaps 2021 could offer some degree of hope and promise to them. So, should we expect a design trend or fad to come out this year?Well, to find out we spoke to a handful of commercial and residential builders to determine just which interior or home design trends are expected to rise this 2021.
Plaster Walls Could Make a Dashing Comeback
According to professional home builders and interior designers, before drywalls were invented, the interior walls of a home or building were usually made by layering it with plaster over wooden strips named laths.
Plaster has been hailed to offer a host of benefits as compared to modern drywalls, because they offer enhanced insulation, soundproofing and fireproofing. Molds also do not grow or harbor in plaster walls, and this walling type should also be of a much higher quality, as it's often hand-applied by a professional artisan. And of course, design experts are saying that plaster walls could be making a fabulous comeback this 2021!
Industrial Interior Style is In This 2021
High ceilings, wood and metal elements, neutral colors, exposed stonework. These are but a few of the popular industrial interior styles that home design experts are saying would be quite popular in 2021. Perhaps it's because this fuss-free trend or style is going to be favored by those who'd like to have more time to relax, unwind, and spend a lot of free time at home.
