If you are thinking about remodeling your home soon, you may be wondering what design trends are losing their spark and what ones are becoming hot. Interior design trends change all the time, and it can be challenging to stay on top of them. There is nothing worse than picking a design trend and realizing that it is already past its prime by the time you are finished. We have consulted with some top design professionals to find out what design trends will be hot in 2021 so you can pick a style that will last, at least for a while. 

Jessica Harris is an interior designer at Living Spaces Furniture and knows what homeowners will be looking for in the upcoming months and into the new year:

We will begin to see homes designed with more purpose and functionality. Now that we are all working from home, we have seen a rise in makeshift home offices. When designing a home office, it’s important to remember that, just because your space is small doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. Look for contemporary designs that maximize function – think drawer, shelf, and surface space – while maintaining slender silhouettes.

Some great ways to put Harris’ advice to use is by getting creative with storage. Keeping your office space, or any area of your home, clean and organized will give it a more modern look. Cabinets and built-in shelves are a great way to make room for all of your papers, files, and office supplies. You can also hang shelves on the walls above and around your desk or other busy areas to create storage for books and other items that you don’t need sitting on your desk.
