Furniture trends to watch for in 2021

The new year is quickly approaching, and that means a fresh start and new trends to keep an eye out for. From fashion and food to music and furniture, 2021 may be the perfect time to revamp your style to keep up with the most current fad.

Switching up your furniture by adding a few modern pieces can be the best way to refresh a room for the new year. Here are some of the furniture trends to watch for in 2021 so you can stay ahead of the masses.

Vintage is in

According to Homes & Gardens, one trend that will roll over from 2020 is the vintage look. From antiques to repurposed and retro pieces, many homeowners are incorporating pieces with a vintage feel into their home decor. For instance, a mid-century couch reupholstered in a vibrant color can be the centerpiece of your living space. Similarly, an antique desk restored with a fresh stain can be ideal for your work from home setup.

The interior design experts recommend building a vintage-style scheme gradually so if you like it and layer pieces purposefully. And if finding antique pieces seems too difficult or expensive, there are many modern furniture options that evoke a vintage feel that could be added to your space.

Natural materials create a calming feel

If you're looking for which materials to incorporate into your home in the new year, you can't go wrong with natural textiles. Wood, in particular, is a popular choice for interior designers. From natural wood flooring and wall panels to finished dining room tables and other furniture items, wood is a timeless material to use in your home.

Look for furniture and decor items that use natural materials in their design. A large table made of wood with matching benches or end tables and the legs of your couches are just few examples of how wood can be incorporated through furniture.

Don't shy away from statement pieces

Is there a furniture or decor item you've had your eye on but feel like it may be a little too bold for your current theme? TrendBook explained that 2021 will be the year of statement pieces. If there's an empty corner or wall in your home that could use some sprucing up, a large, bright piece of furniture or decor could be the right fit.

Just make sure to balance bold statement pieces with a minimal design to ensure they don't clash.

Comfort is king

Finally, prioritize comfort with your home furniture. With everyone spending more time at home than usual, it's important to invest in pieces that are stylish yet comfortable and practical for your family's needs. From cozy sofas to a sturdy office chair, these furniture items will make your home more inviting and snug when you need it the most.
