GETTING BUSY WITH IT - MAXIMALISM
MAKING IT “OFFICE-IAL”
The home office stole the show with the warp-speed shift to remote work in 2020 and will continue to feature prominently in interior renovations in 2021. Modular office partitions, sliding glass pocket doors and acoustic ceiling tiles are all creative materials that can help professionals escape into their work responsibilities without leaving their residence. For those homeowners that do not have an extra room to devote entirely to a home office and may be trying to convert some spare basement or loft space into a work area, there are creative crown molding ideas for low ceilings that can help such makeshift spaces emit a more professional and dedicated ambiance.
TEXTURED FINISHES
Perfect symmetry has been a low priority for homeowners in recent years, with the bumpy ride likely to continue into 2021. Cabinets, desks, dressers and headboards are saying so long to smooth, flat fronts in favor of a grooved, asymmetrical look. While ditching the smooth, it is also important to understand how to measure for wallpaper, as a 3D finish on the walls is set to find favor among homeowners, as well.
WOODEN ACCENTS
It seems as if all of the time indoors has increased people’s longing for nature. As a result, earthen hues and wooden accents are seeing an increase in popularity. Stone countertops, barn wood shelves and hardwood floors are all being increasingly explored as homeowners look to bring a touch of nature inside.
