As human beings, we tend to be drawn to nature, and this year's design trends are expected to reflect that. Expect to see more nature-inspired designs on furniture, cushions, and paintings all around the house.

Moreover, people may be opting for more natural or nature-resembling materials like ceramics that look like wood, polished cement, and natural stone are the leading examples.

Sustainability has been the buzzword across most industries. Practices that are bad for the environment are just not going to cut it for consumers who are becoming increasingly concerned with the environment and equality.

Along with increased sustainable practices, we can expect that more companies, especially those which are compliant to be transparent about their production and sourcing methods,

"ADPro" surveyed some architectural designers worldwide to determine what they predict to be hot in 2021. The consensus says that emerald, cobalt, burnt orange, and mustard yellow will be the years' champions.

However, the year's other expected trendy colors are bold and bright tones, particularly for walls. If you're looking to dip your toe into the trend, you may opt for a colored feature wall.
