Every year Original Style works closely with their in-house designers and interior experts to forecast upcoming interior trends, colour schemes and styles. While interior trends may seem trivial after the year gone by, it’s becoming apparent that homeowners are finding a sense of optimism by investing in their homes and spending time and money on things that bring them joy.  

As we look forward to 2021, it’s important to consider the impact that 2020 has had on our lives and the influence upon our homes. For many of us, our priorities and lifestyles have altered dramatically and it was inevitable that such a sudden transformation of circumstances would completely change how we look at and use the spaces within our properties.

As we are now spending more time at home, Original Style’s interior trends for 2021 considers the changes in how we use our homes and looks at how we can create spaces that establish calm, evoke motivation and brings contentment:

Staycation

This trend showcases how we can bring that holiday feeling into our homes. With restricted travelling, this trend encourages homeowners to be inspired by vacations and holiday destinations. Blue is a key colourway here; typically associated with coastal holidays in the UK and abroad, our design team encourage the embrace of soft, sky-like pastels and deep jewel-like blues, to emulate the feeling of freedom and relaxation that holidays bring.
 
"The best way to embrace this trend is to think of your favourite holiday locations or coastal-inspired retreats and look at the colours, textures and materials that embody these memories and bring them into your home.
 
Beaches and coastal locations epitomise many of our vacations so a great way of embracing the staycation trend is to look at bringing a range of different blues into the home that personify the natural hues of the sea and sky. Team with fresh whites and subtle greys to create a seamless coastal-inspired colour palette”
– Jane Addis, New Products and Design Manager at Original Style.

 


Sanctuary

The sanctuary trend is all about bringing serenity into the home with neutral, warm tones, soft pinks and a calm Scandinavian-inspired style. These muted, natural elements are perfect for creating your own at-home haven.
 
More than ever before, our homes are becoming vital places of sanctuary and there’s a growing need to create isolated spaces for us to unwind in - especially with our homes also becoming places of work, school and refuge" Jane Addis, New Products and Design Manager at Original Style.
 
Materials such as wood, rattan and wicker naturally provide warmth and incorporate texture into a space. Try mixing matt tiles with glossy glazes or natural shell to achieve a tranquil yet luxurious look. Alternatively, opt for a delicate patterned tile such as Malmo from Original Style’s Living collection or the Winchester Fabrique collection to add intrigue and detail. They look especially stunning in bathroom settings to create a real spa-like, cosy style.
 


Home Hub

Many of us have been plunged into home working and schooling this year and therefore our lifestyles and homes have had to adapt. Again, this trend requires looking at a space or spaces in our homes in isolation and creating a working environment that motivates and inspires whilst not impacting other areas of the home or family.
 
Greens, browns and earthy tones are perfect for achieving the perfect Home Hub vibe. Choose from muted greens to bolder shades, both of which work with neutral tones of brown and cream. Heritage tiles from Original Style’s Artworks and Winchester Collections are perfect for this, from rich Victorian greens to muted mint and sage.
 
Original Style’s Living Eden tile range complements this trend beautifully; “Featuring lush and leafy designs printed on a large-format matt base, these tiles encompass the natural, contemporary vibe of Home Hub and are perfect for embracing this trend” - Becca Keenan, New Products Designer at Original Style.
