Furniture trends of 2021 with 5Star Furniture

When the clock struck March 2020, the world was turned on its head, and everything changed overnight. In 2020, each one of us was forced to spend most of our time within the confines of the walls of our homes. By spending so much time at home, we realise the importance of practicality, open, wide spaces, adaptability in our space, and the ability to change its function to suit our needs. Another thing that developed in many people while spending time at home was a side of creativity they hadn’t seen in years. People have re-learned the zest of life and how to make the best of every moment. These moments include doing DIY projects at home, upcycling vintage furniture, and redecorating interior spaces to make them suitable for work and play. Every year, our interior design and furniture trends adapt and evolve to suit the world we live in, and this is especially true of the furniture trends of 202amidst the pandemic. If you are redesigning your interior space, this is the right article for you. Here are a few lists and descriptions of the top interior and furniture trends of 2021 to help you keep up with the times, even if you haven’t set foot outside your house in a while. Also included in the lists are options from the 5Star Furniture store to help you keep up with 2021 trends.

 

Individuality and uniqueness – One of the top trends of 2021 includes the increasing popularity of custom-made and designer items. As this is the era of sustainability and support for small and local businesses, many households are tending towards buying custom-made pieces, especially for their homes, designed and made from native materials. These days, consumers are not only interested in the aesthetics of their pieces but also in the history, sustainability, material reuse, and the story behind each piece of furniture.

Art deco furniture – Why not add a statement to your space by not only using art on the walls but also furniture that is a piece of art in themselves. Art deco, established in the late 1920s and early 1930s, is characterised by its rich, bold, and luxurious elements. There are often geometric shapes, such as zigzags and Chevrons, included in the designs, and these elements allow Art Deco furniture to be modern yet retain the classic feel of old, luxurious furniture. If you want to add a touch of Art Deco to your space, consider incorporating ivory, shiny metal accents, bold colours, and eccentric shapes.

Vintage beauties and antique furniture – Again, because of sustainability becoming a highlight in the world today, lots of people are upcycling old vintage and antique furniture. The craftsmanship of antique furniture is second to none – intricate carvings on wooden pieces and metalwork like you have never seen before. The best thing about upcycled antique furniture is that, in 2021, each piece you own will be one of a kind, helping you add your own personality and rich history to your space. Take a walk around the vintage furniture stores in your area, and you might find some out-of-this-world furniture specials. Part of the furniture specials at 5Star Furniture is this antique-inspired coffee table with engraved legs that give you the feel of a piece you might find at an antique thrifting store.

The beauty is in the details – Yes, the overall aesthetic of your furniture is what matters, but when you pay attention to the smallest of details, you truly see the real beauty of what is right in front of you. In 2021, people designing interior spaces are paying more attention to detail by selecting materials with varied textures, adding intricate stitching to their furniture, and incorporating special accessories to give their spaces a more personalised touch.

Maximalism is the new minimalism – If you are someone who likes to incorporate everything that you love into one space, 2021 is the year for you. Take advantage of all the furniture specials in your area and add every contrasting pattern, eclectic print, and bold design that you’ve been loving into your home. To be a maximalist, you need to be bold, brave, and willing to take risks when it comes to mixing and matching different patterns and styles. Mix up wall decor with funky accessories and patterned carpets or curtains for a fun twist.

Rustic and comfortable – In 2021, one of the main furniture and home trends includes maximum comfort in one’s own home. A rustic-chic look can be achieved by incorporating a range of wooden, linen, and earth-inspired textures. Another interesting way to add a rustic feel to your home is to choose wooden furniture that has exposed supports and beams.

Focus on your office space – Because we have been forced to move our work into our homes, there has been an immense focus on designing the office as a stylish, inspiring, and adaptable space in your home. Furniture specials are popping up everywhere for office furniture. In modern offices, it is also the new trend to include exposed bookshelves and to use your books and other practical items to add interesting decor to your space.

Shape it up – Geometric shapes are a major trend of 2021. Whether it means adding art pieces that include a bit of geometry to your space, or adding furniture pieces with a geometric feel in their frames and construction. This desk from 5Star Furniture is part of the furniture specials you cannot miss if you are looking to add geometric inspiration to your home.

Double up on practicality and design aesthetics – Because more people are required to be in one house at once, and household members are not going out to work, multifunctionality has become a top trend. Having furniture in your house that can double as both a desktop and a dining space, or pieces that can be neatly tucked away when not in use, is the new go-to. This sleeper couch from 5Star Furniture is one of the furniture specials you cannot miss if you are looking for multifunctional pieces.

 

Use headboards to make a statement – Luxury is one of the main focuses of furniture trends in 2021, and a headboard is a perfect way to add a touch of luxury to your bedroom, helping you feel like you are sleeping in a hotel every night of the week. Bold headboards are an incredible focal point for bedroom decor and can be contrasted with the wallpaper behind them to add a funkier feel. To some, headboards might be an outdated accessory, but in 2021, we are trying to add as much character to our space as possible, and a headboard is the perfect way to tie your bedroom together.

Bring nature indoors – The houseplant trend started a couple of years ago and remains as important in 2021. Because people are spending so much time indoors, it is important to revitalise the space you live in by adding as much greenery as you can. Indoor plants are becoming even more readily available and can be found at grocery stores, hardware stores, and nurseries in your area. Capitalise on the furniture specials at 5Star Furniture so that you have enough storage and shelving for all your new plant babies.

Rock out in the bathroom – In line with bringing the outdoors inside, 2021 bathroom trends include materials such as concrete, stone, and granite. Monotone cements add an elegant, timeless feel to a bathroom, and the bonus is that they are extremely easy to keep clean. The stone-like materials can also be easily matched with other 2021 trends, such as metals, geometric styles, and natural woods, all of which can be found under the furniture specials at 5Star Furniture.

Furniture trends are one thing, but colour trends are a whole different ballgame. If you want to stay trendy in 2021, consider adding some of these colour palettes to your home with the furniture specials available at 5Star Furniture.

Earth tones for the earth children – Earth tones and textures in your living space add a cosy and fresh feeling. Earth-toned furniture specials help you find relaxation in your space by combining natural wood, intricate textures such as linens and woollen blankets, muted colours, and many plants. By using muted and earthy colours, you can add as many pieces of furniture as possible to your spaces without them becoming visually overwhelming.

The perfect lighting is everything – Light adds magic to a space. In 2021, designers and interior decorators are capitalising on natural lighting from the outside. Design your space around the interesting patterns created by light that filters through the trees and onto your living room walls. Make these patterns a central feature, and place your furniture in the perfect position to take advantage of the afternoon’s golden-hour glow.

Feeling a little bit green? – Adding green tones to your interior spaces is a major trend in 2021. This trend allows you to create a fresh feel in your home and integrate your indoor space with the outdoors. Cool green tones can be combined with earthy colours, bold Art Deco pieces, antique-inspired furniture, and many other trends that are peaking in 2021.

With the furniture specials available on 5 Star Furniture, you can shop in-store and online to make sure that your newly designed spaces keep up with the trends of 2021. If you are designing a new space this year, make sure to give it a timeless feel that will remain elegantly classic for years to come.

The furniture specials available on 5Star Furniture are always tempting, but in 2021, living an eco-friendly life is the main trend. Being environmentally friendly and living a sustainable lifestyle does not mean that you cannot have a stylish, comfortable, and inspiring space to live and work in.
