So we've seen a lot of surprises along the way in home design. We saw brass, aka gold make a comeback, I know I didn't see that coming. Farmhouse design suddenly dominated design across America, with the popular show Fixer Uppers leading the charge. Trends, like all good and not so good things almost always have a beginning and an end, but some are just growing, and transforming.
Gray was the new Beige
Ahhhh gray so calming, so peaceful, and so not beige, yet, not a big leap of faith either. While gray is still showing up in newly constructed homes, modular and mobile homes, it is not as dominant as it was. When gray made the scene we saw it popping up everywhere, and covering every surface in home design, walls, carpets, tiles, and textiles. It almost seemed as if the world was stuck on an old tv movie, in black and white. However design trends showing up in 2021 suggest gray is fading out, and guess what's creeping back in? Beige. Now we arent necessarily talking about all walls, all furniture, all floors going beige, proper, but we are seeing softer warmer neutrals ie: beige, taupe, warm gray, off whites coming back. The difference this time is we are seeing it in smaller doses, and its being paired with natural elements and accents. Think farmhouse, but with more of an earthy elegance.
Farmhouse Design
Farmhouse design took off like a bullet. Dominating interior design for quite a while, all thanks to Chip and Joanna Gaines and their extremely popular show Fixer Uppers.
Suddenly everyone wanted the look and it did not take long before we saw across home improvement venues nationwide all the farmhouse decor fodder possible. Americans seemed to crave that charming, homespun shiplap dream which easily incorporated the gray and white paint paint scheme that came prior. Barndoors were going up, and suburbia was playing dress up. Farmhouse design, is slowly transforming. We are seeing a more refined version emerging, but I suspect it will eventually phase out but do not worry, the refined version is an easy fix, just needing tweaks here and there and will likely give this trend some extended life.
