We are at the start of a new year. 2020 has been a tough year for all of us. As 2021 is on the horizon, we are slowly gaining a sense of normalcy. With that said, most of us are still spending most of our time in the comforts of our own homes.
However, staying in the same set-up can get tiring over time, bringing down your mood every time you enter your space. Your home should give you energy and comfort. One way to do so is by adding colour to your interior. Of course, there’s something that feels familiar with going with your usual colour scheme, but trying out a new coloured wall can do wonders for the atmosphere of your home.
What better time to try out some home renovation than the start of the year. So, if you’re looking into bringing some life back into your interior, here are some of the 2021 colour trends you may want to try out.
Jewel Tones
2020 has been a drab and sombre year, and the last thing you want is to bring that mood into your home this new year.
Jewel tones are a great way to add an air of optimism to your interior. Bold, deep colours such as ruby, sapphire, and emerald can bring so much energy into a space. These colours feel fresh and reinvigorating compared to more dull colours. Furthermore, jewel tones can do a lot in lifting your mood. Being in a coloured space can make you feel more inspired, active, and productive all year long.
If you’re still apprehensive about such bold colour trends, then you can try them on an accent wall first and go from there. With that said, don’t be afraid to be bold and colourful, especially this new year.
Neutrals
Even if bright colours are all the rave this year, it doesn’t mean classic neutrals are now out of style. If you’re not into the idea of a colour-filled room, you can still go for neutral colours during your home renovation.
If you want to make your home feel more spacious, consider painting the entire room- floor to ceiling- monochromatically in a neutral tone. If you’re going with white paint, you don’t want it to feel clinical. Choose chalky whites with warmer undertones, with matte or textured finishes.
Even if the room consists of mostly neutral walls, you may still want to consider adding some pops of colour through furniture or artworks. Whether it be jewel-toned pillows or colourful paintings hanging on the wall, these small details can add energy to the room. Also, the contrast of the neutral and bold colours give the room visual interest and make it feel more special.
Nature-Inspired Hues
Another one of the colour trends this 2021 are tones inspired by nature. As we’re still limited with the activities we can do outside, why not bring the outdoors inside your home.
Green is at the forefront of this nature-inspired colour trend. You can experiment with various shades of green to achieve different effects. Leafy and olive greens can evoke the feeling of plants and the forest, while mossy and seafoam greens- along with deep blues- remind you of the sea.
In addition, earthy tones are also in. During home renovation, consider rich brown accents with furniture and decor. Clay tones such as camel and burnt orange are also great options.
As we still spend most of our time at home, bringing nature inside your space can create a cosy, comfy, and relaxing interior.
Pastels
Pastels became a huge trend, especially to younger people, a couple of years ago. However, the colour trend doesn’t seem to slow down any time soon. In fact, it transformed from accent colours to now being considered as neutrals.
A sunny, soft yellow can be a great idea for a wall colour. Contrast that with pastel blue accents- through furniture or decor- can create a lovely colour scheme for your interior. Other pastel hues like blush pinks are also now considered good neutral colours to start with. These colours can be more interesting substitutes to walls that you would normally leave as white.
Darker Tones
If you want to use colour, but don’t want it to scream out of your walls, you can try going for darker tones.
Most people think that deeper, darker hues make the place feel dim and small. To some extent, that is true. However, when used in the right way, darker colours can have the exact opposite effect to your room than expected. The combination of darker tones and crisp whites or warm neutrals can create an interesting vibe to your room.
If you want to go with the nature-inspired colour trend, you can use deeper earth tones to emphasize the natural feeling of these colours.
