(BPT) - Change is on the horizon as 2021 is
poised to be a transition year for home design.
Expect some of the cool and minimalistic
trends of the past to be replaced with more
approachable designs that convey comfort,
warmth and positivity.
“Darker colors, natural textiles - like wood,
and soft lighting are great ways to make
a room feel warm and inviting,” says Jen
Meska, director of merchandising at LL
Flooring. “Also, decorate with items and
patterns that bring you joy to add a sense of
your personality and unique style.”
For many years, cool color schemes have
dominated home design. White kitchens, gray
walls and black countertops were top choices
by homebuilders and renovators. People have
tired of these styles and are seeking to add
warm colors and materials in their home.
Colors with yellow undertones are in high
demand, from wall paint to furniture and
beyond. Warm accent colors are being used
by top designers in decor like accent pillows
and throw blankets, including soft yellow and
rich cinnamon. Brass and bronze are popular
in hardware and accessories, and mixed metals
are featured to add visual interest.
Floors are the foundation of any room,
providing ample opportunity to update the
space to bring in warmth. Because organic
materials typically convey warmth, hardwood
floors are a worthwhile investment. The visually
interesting and intricate wood grains can
be enhanced with any color stain, although
warm hues are trending. The rich browns in
Bellawood Manhattan Chevron Engineered
Hardwood is a great example, as featured in
this year’s HGTV Dream Home. Not only do
hardwood floors like this add a warm element
to a space, but they also feel warmer on the
feet than tile and laminate flooring alternatives.
Light can add to or detract from the feeling of
warmth in any space. Natural light sources are
always welcome, so make sure to open shades
to illuminate spaces. Of course additional
light sources will be necessary, so think about
how overhead, task and accent lighting can
best work together in areas. Lamps, wired
wall sconces and picture wall lights are easy
to install and instantly add style and glow
to a room. Finally, when looking at lights,
consider the type of bulbs you use and opt
for options that project warmer light rather
than those with cooler light tones that have
white or blue undertones.
Mirrors serve multiple purposes in a room:
They add artistic style, they visually expand
the space and they reflect light. Designers
often strategically place a mirror to bounce
natural light or reflect the exterior landscape,
helping bring the feeling of the outdoors inside
in a subtle yet meaningful way. A mirror can
further add to the warmth of a space depending
on the frame material. Some popular options
for frames include wood, resin or gold-hued
metals. If you have an old mirror you want
to revive, consider painting the frame in an
appropriate accent color and you’ll breathe
new life into an existing piece.
A simple way to add life into your home is
adding plants. Humans are naturally drawn
to nature, so adding foliage brings a warmth
to any room. If you’re not much of a green
thumb, consider low-maintenance houseplants
like snake plant, spider plant and succulents.
If you love the look of plants but just don’t
want to deal with the real things, shop for
plastic alternatives that closely mimic their
real counterparts. You might be surprised how
realistic modern faux plants appear.
