Nostalgia
For years now, retro furnishings have continued to fall back into fashion and 2021 will be no different. While mid-century modern décor is still very much in, we will begin to see pieces influenced by other eras, too. Pair your statement furnishings with modern makes in order to create a cohesive space with a hint of nostalgia. Think Laura Ashley-inspired florals, classic silhouettes and traditional decoration.

Tactile textures
Two key industry magazines, Ideal Home and Real Homes, have both declared 2021 the year of tactile fabrics. Bouclé is back in a big way! This highly textured material adds contrast and softness to living spaces. The sumptuous fabric can be added subtly with cushions and throws, or dramatically with bouclé chairs or sofas. If bouclé isn’t for you, choose textured furnishings that will make you want to curl up and stay put all day.
