New Zealand home design

 Looking to refresh your home design and decor in the new year? While the home has been the safest sanctuary in 2020, staring at the same four walls can undeniably get a little boring.

From rethinking how a home layout should be, to incorporating organic shapes and archways, read on to get inspired by the home interior design trends of 2021!

Following are some home design ideas in New Zealand.

Embrace Nostalgia & Traditionalism

This trend is a huge contrast to the all-white and minimalistic homes you see on the internet. Grandmillennial style is a great way for young homeowners to showcase their individuality and uniqueness. Having old and traditional pieces immediately makes your home feel lived in and welcoming.

Bring In the Outdoors

This is not a new design trend but it’s very relevant to our current situation. As you aren’t leaving our houses as often as used to, it’s a wise choice to bring the outdoors indoors. Houseplants are a great way to inject some greenery into your homes – they’ll create a soothing effect on yourself, especially after a long and stressful day of work.

There are plenty of health benefits: medical studies have shown that houseplants can improve your mood, reduce tiredness, and stress and improve your focus.

Say Goodbye to Open Floor Plans

Home is now more than that – it’s the place where we do everything, from working to exercising and socializing. In addition to that, most of your family members are staying in for work and school so the need for privacy is evident. To provide them with privacy, demarcate spaces in your home so that everyone has their own space.

You don’t need to do a full home renovation to build up your walls and demarcate space. Try adding a screen divider, curtain, or even a bookshelf – they create separation in your home to give your family members the privacy they need.

Incorporate Natural Elements

Integrating natural elements into your home are the perfect way to bring texture, warmth, and lightness into your home. They are a great contrast piece if you have more contemporary pieces such as marble, leather, and gold accents at home.

 

You can incorporate this interior design trend into your home through throw pillows, furniture, rugs, and baskets. Take a bold step forward and mix and match different textures – having contrasting textures creates a unique and visual-rich space.

Use Earthy Colors to Add Warmth

A key interior trend for 2021 is incorporating warm colors into your home. Warm-toned colors such as terra cotta, browns, and beiges are popular color choices. These nature-inspired colors give your home a sense of peace and tranquility where you can relax and recharge after a long day of work.

Organic Shapes & Archways

No more modular and rectangular shapes dominating your home – try incorporating organic shapes with rounded furniture such as ottomans, coffee table,s or even sofas. Organic shapes are a great way to evoke a softer and more relaxed feel into your home. It’s also a great way to enhance the human connection to nature and creativity.

If you don’t have the luxury of space to buy new furniture, you can hang up wall art that features soft lines (e.g., face line art) or sculptural decor pieces that are soft and abstract.
