The new design trends for 2021 are here and Nancy isn't at all happy with a lot of them.  Jem Funk, Interior Designer and Lighting Consultant with Premier Lighting, and a frequent guest on this podcast, chatted with Nancy about what the experts have decided for 2021.  You be the judge.

Power of Color

  • IN:  Bright palettes and rich colors in the design of furniture, lamps, accessories.
  • OUT:  Pastel shades, inspired by the Scandinavian style.2021 Colors:
  • Pantone color institute chose Ultra Violet as the main color of 2021
  • Violet is a complex, dominant color that is unlikely to become widespread, since it is more like a bohemian one.
  • Benjamin Moore's 2021 color of the year is Aegean Teal
  • A rich blend of blue-green and gray, this mid-tone reflects balance and natural harmony. When selecting this year's Color of the Year, the Benjamin Moore team focused on grounded and rooted colors.
  • Sherwin-Williams has selected four color palettes: bold blues, muddy greens, muted reds, bright pinks, and warm whites are their choices
  • Every Paint company has their own color of the year.
  • Brown is coming back strong paired with avocado, orange, and harvest gold
  • Color psychologists say brown communicates strength, reliability, and stability. It evokes feelings of comfort and safety.
  • Brown also creates a sense of nostalgia, when life less complicated, more down-to-earth, and common sense prevailed.
  • Note:  Brown gets Nancy depressed.

    • Harmony with Nature

    • unpainted wood surfaces, stone textures, living plants, wicker furniture
    • Decorative elements and prints also gravitate to nature
    • Images of animals, birds, leaves and flowers
    • Vivid tropical motifs and an intense floral print. Was popular in 2020 and still hanging on for 2021

      • Textured Walls

      • Wallpaper and decorative plaster give way to expensive fabric upholstery

        • Individualization

        • the most important trend of 2021 in design calls for just to ignore these very trends,
        • to personalize the space and adjust the interior primarily for yourself.
        • The interior is no longer limited to the framework of one style, but follows primarily the needs and preferences of the owners.
