What's out of fashion in 2021 interior design?

White and gray interiors

Having experienced a real boom, Scandinavian style firmly settled in many apartments. Many of the inhabitants realized it in their own way, painting the walls in white and light gray, buying furniture from IKEA and freeing the windows from curtains.

But most of the popular interior solutions, peeped from others, deprive the atmosphere of individuality, becoming hackneyed.

Blind following any style and using a limited set of stamps destroys expressiveness. Gray and white colors are good if they do not come to the fore, but serve as a backdrop for significant things, unusual decor and objects that tell about your character and hobbies.

The so beloved Nordic interiors in muted colors are undergoing a transformation today - the Scandinavians are increasingly adding various shades to their homes, but they do not forget about hygge atmosphere. 

Apron made of banal tiles

The most popular ceramic tile that has won the love of connoisseurs of modern style - white rectangular hog... This is one of the most common types of decoration for a kitchen backsplash, but it is irrevocably a thing of the past.

It is also worth abandoning the patterned patchwork tilesif you don't want a kitchen that can be unmistakably called "the end of the 10s". The famous hexagons-hexagons are also receding into the past.

Designers note that the following are in great demand when arranging a cooking zone:

• seamless materials in the color of the countertop;
• strained glass;
• a strip of stone or metal to the height of the mixer;
• decorative plaster.

Interior for the sake of beauty

Doing renovations hoping to surprise guests and adding a touch of luxury to the atmosphere? Instead of a comfortable pull-out sofa, are you choosing a leather Chesterfield or a classic design with carved elements and brand upholstery?

Alas, this approach is impractical, and the result will not impress anyone.

Modern people strive for functionality and convenience: in trend furniture transformer, clear lines, free space of the apartment, not cluttered with unnecessary items.

In connection with the events of 2020, when many people were "locked" at home, conveniently equipped places for work, as well as the arrangement of comfortable zones for privacy and relaxation, became very popular.

New faceless furniture

Environmental friendliness and reuse of household items are still in trend. But high-tech apartments that evoke associations with space and a high-tech office, as well as apartments furnished exclusively with furniture straight from the store, are no longer in vogue.

Woolen soviet returns from dachas carpetsretaining their attractiveness and reminiscent of their beloved grandmother, wooden chairs, the quality of which is beyond doubt, comfortable retro armchairs with legs that do not clutter up the environment.

People remodel old furniture using high-quality paint, decorate walls with handmade decor, get things "with character" at flea markets.

Gloss

For several years now, the demand for glossy surfaces has inevitably decreased. In 2021, lacquered furniture facades and glossy ceilings are a thing of the past. This is due to the increased awareness of consumers who do not want to waste their precious time cleaning shiny surfaces.

Natural textures (wood, stone, concrete) and calm shades are in fashion. If you want gloss, use glass.

Choosing a stretch ceiling, stop at a matte canvas without spotlights: a perfectly flat white ceiling will look painted and will not attract too much attention.

Wooden slats

Incredibly popular reiki met in design projects everywhere and so often that they got tired of everyone. If you are still pondering whether to put partitions from rack elements and whether to make decor for walls and ceilings from them, keep in mind: all the trends you know are morally outdated by the time you learned about them.

Do you like reiki and are not ready to give it up? Use the technique in dosage, without focusing on it, or repaint it in the color of the wall.

Open plan

In 2018-2019, the popularity of studios increased: ordinary people tried to visually increase the apartment and the amount of light due to the complete or partial demolition of partitions.

The 2020 pandemic showed that open spaces there is a significant drawback - the inability to retire, take a break from the remote work of a spouse, as well as games and children's studies.

To create a cozy corner, additional efforts were required, partitions, screens and re-equipment of rooms, loggias and even storage rooms.

Bathroom in tiles

Porcelain stoneware and tiles are rightfully considered the most durable and reliable way of lining a bathroom. But more and more people are beginning to realize that floor-to-ceiling tiles look monotonous and uncomfortable.

Mixed finishes are in trend - especially in demand tiles and paint: modern compositions make it possible to make the bathroom environment not only beautiful, but also resistant to moisture and temperature extremes. Decorative plaster and wallpaper are also appropriate.

Say goodbye to these techniques so as not to deprive the living space of individuality.
