4 Major Home Design Trends That’ll Be Big in 2021, According to Redfin and Hunker

With a new-found love for our homes this past year, it’s likely you’ve racked up a laundry list of ways that you’d love to revamp your space. And what better time to refresh and upgrade your home than the New Year? To help spark some inspiration, Redfin partnered with Hunker to predict which home trends will be big over the next year. Combining Redfin’s data on the most valuable home trends and Hunker’s design experience, here are the major design trends homeowners will want to embrace in 2021:

Bonus spaces that can double as a home office

Working from home will continue to be a theme in years to come, and many are looking for opportunities to create dedicated workspaces within their homes. Whether it be an ADU, a sun room, an additional guest room, or transforming a shed into an office space — this is one of the major home design trends that’s here to stay.

Earthy textures with luxury elements

In 2021, look to see more homes incorporating a lot of the colors you typically see in minimalism. You’ll see colors like white, cream, beige, rust, and sage, but layered in with multiple textures. Think a living room that combines jute, oak, and linen with materials that are undeniably luxe, or a kitchen with colored marble countertops and rich velvet banquette seating.

Embracing grandmillennial style

This style slowly began to take off this year,  but “grandmillennial” is being embraced with open arms as we enter 2021. This fun and unique design trend is all about appreciating traditional style from a modern point of view. You can expect to see tasteful antique decor — like a vintage statement mirror — plenty of brass and wicker, and varieties of texture. Whether it’s just a fad or a timeless trend here to stay, it’s going to be “in” throughout this next year.

Floor-to-ceiling windows

If you’re looking for an open, airy, and refreshing space, then floor-to-ceiling windows are the upgrade your home needs. On-trend with indoor/outdoor living, this home design trend lets light pour into your space without the need to actually step foot outside. Although not the easiest home upgrade to make, it’s one we’ll continue to see throughout homes this year.
