Fall Interior Design Trends to Look Out for in 2021

We all agree that 2020 has turned our lives upside down. The way we live is no longer the same. Many people now are spending time at home more than they did ever before. Remote work and remote schooling, new terms and concepts emerged, and families found themselves bound to upgrade and expand their living spaces. These improvements target the functionality, the comfort, the beauty, and the openness of the interiors. If you are a homeowner who needs some renovation and adaptation to this new lifestyle, then you have come to the right place. In this blog post, you will get to take a look at several 2021 fall interior design trends, which are sustainable, inexpensive, and easy to implement.

 

1.     Sustainable modern house design

 

Homeowners are becoming more and more aware of the damages we are making to the planet; thus, they are more eco-conscious about designing their homes in a sustainable way that respects the environment. So, what are the features of a sustainable home design?

 

Eco-friendly flooring. This type of flooring made of wood or bamboo gives the room some warmth and coziness. In addition to that, they are also strong and durable, which is good for kids and pets running around in the house, besides being affordable and looking so natural! Check out an example in this beautiful hotel room in the heart of Saint Petersburg from @corkartgroup which always uses durable and ecological materials only, from cork floors in the rooms to natural stone walls in the lobby, and air and water purification systems.

 

What about wall decoration? A colorful living room or dining room is the new trend. You can opt for non-toxic paint like Benjamin Moore’s Aura line with primer combos, among other similar paints.

 

When it comes to furniture, consider upgrading antiques and replacing appliances. Try to minimize the window dressings to have more light coming in the room, and go for natural and organic textiles, which are picked and manufactured sustainably. 

 

 

2.     Wallpapers

 

Wallpapers were a basic supply in American interior design, but have unfortunately been sidelined for a long time now. However, wallpaper is making its way again in the interior design world with new updates and advances.

 

First of all, wallpapers are easy to implement, way easier than paint, and are very easy as well to remove and replace. While glue wallpapers could be a little messy to handle, peel-and-stick wallpapers are being used a lot recently. Take a look at this wonderful wallpaper from @johnrosselliassociates, a premier destination for luxury fabric, furniture, lighting, and wallcovering in New York, D.C., Washington.

 

 

 3.     Granny-chic furniture

 

Granny-chic furniture or grand-millennial style, this new design has been emerging over the past few years, and has been adopted by many millennials. It consists of transforming furniture that you may find at your grandma’s house into modern interior design elements. Old pieces of furniture are combined with modern ones, creating a sort of mashup style. For instance, one could put traditional chairs in the dining room with a simple modern dining table, or install a classic chandelier in a modern bedroom. You can also cover old-fashioned furniture with paint or wallpapers. It is all about having a modern house that conveys the warmth and comfort that we feel at granny’s house, just like the atmosphere detected in this lovely room from @grannychiceverything where you can see the colors and symmetry with the off-center taffies that keep the mood whimsical and light-hearted.

 

 

 

 4.     Warm color palette

 

Fall colors are back! If you love fall colors, I mean golden butterscotch, warm chestnut, burning cinnamon, rich Bordeaux, and pumpkin spice colors, then you will be pleased to know that this color palette is gaining ground in 2021! If you look up ‘Interior decorator near me’, you will be amazed how fall colors are being used a lot by decorators! The last couple of years were dominated by greens and blues, which are still popular, but fall colors have emerged in the scene, giving a warmer and inviting vibe. You can warm up your interior’s color palette with fall colors paint or by adding these colors through cushions thrown on sofas, chairs, and beds. Choose from the color palette shown in the below shot from the artist @curiositygarden_ks!
