2021 will bring many changes, but many home decor and renovation trends that came from the pandemic are expected to stick around.

Pandemic Related Design Trends

The Coronavirus pandemic has reframed the things that are important in the home. As more people social distance, work, and learn at home, the home has become more than a living space.

People are opting for homes out of the crowded city with more space, a yard or dedicated outdoor living space. Many homeowners are also looking to create dedicated video conferencing rooms or quiet spaces to take calls and meetings. This space is away from high-traffic areas and has a simple, pleasing background. Design trends are moving towards cozy and clean, and many homeowners say ensuring your home is clean and comfortable is a must!
