Top 9 Design Trends of 2021

Here are the top 9 design trends for this year according to the HBA—
1. Modern style is dominating and is now often paired with traditional.
2. Authenticity is the primary goal in all aspects of design.
3. Increased emphasis on streetscapes.
4. Connecting the inside with the outside is even more important as windows grow in size and in number.
5. Homes are being designed with multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy.
6. Homes now are being designed with sanctuary spaces to build human connections. This means rooms without TVs or TVs are hidden. This also means spa-like features in master baths, and sunken fire pits outside.
7. Every home has at least one office, but also features flex spaces in typically unused corners.
8. Kitchen pantries are growing with more space to do prep work.
9. While white and gray still dominate, pops of color are becoming popular as warmer colors and warmer woods are making a comeback.
