In this article, we have tried to put all the elements of interior design. For the people wanting to redo their houses or rooms, here is a complete guide to 2021 trends of interior decor.

Interior design

 Planning and design of human-made spaces, a part of environmental design and closely related to architecture. However, the desire to create a pleasant environment is as old as civilization itself. But the field of interior design is relatively new. The term interior design indicates a broader area of activity. Consequently, it suggests its status as a serious profession.

Comfort and tradition became a big focus for people in 2020, and that’s going to continue in 2021.

3. PRINCIPLES OF INTERIOR DESIGN 

It is important to emphasize that interior design is a specialized branch of architecture or environmental design. The best buildings and the best interiors are those in which there is no apparent disparity between the many elements that make up the totality. For instance, these elements are the structural aspects of a building, the site planning, the landscaping, the furniture, and the architectural graphics (signs), as well as the interior details. Likewise, the interior desi ner is concerned with the more intimately scaled aspects of design, the specific aesthetic, functional, and psychological questions involved, and the individual character of spaces.

4. PHYSICAL COMPONENTS OF INTERIOR DESIGN

The aesthetic components of the design go hand in hand. For instance, if you want to have a dream home interior, first of all, have a look at the main components of the interior. The full or total effect is more important than the specific device or element used.

The search for natural elements will be the primary way: wood, iron, glass and stone will be the dominant materials. Similarly, experts, architects, interior designers and experts will advise for those who want to renovate their home in the New Year.

In particular, the main physical components of interior design are;

• Ceilings
• Floors
• Walls
• Windows and doors

Breaking down the components, let us discuss them one by one.

• CEILINGS

 Together with walls, flooring and furniture, this part of the room plays a significant role in the overall design idea. Usually, ceilings are often ignored by amateur designers and even by professional designers. Conversely, few modern designers take advantage of the design possibilities offered by ceilings. For instance, the latest trends in ceilings include;

• Textural effects of wood
• Simple plaster ceiling
• Since most modern ceilings are low, a heavy texture or an intense colour could create a depressing feeling; hence, the popularity of a plain white ceiling. 
• Lower ceilings in the dining area is also a new trend.
• Mirror effect. It is not necessary to lay the mirror on the entire ceiling – you can draw a small surface area with it.
• Carved ceiling. Similarly, the use of carvings in the design of the ceiling is a great way to get not only a stylish but also a unique room design.
• Textiles. Quite expensive and challenging. However, the result is worth it. Fabric ceilings continue to gain the appreciation of world-leading designers.
• Geometric patterns and designs. The combination of several geometric shapes and sharp lines – a bold and original solution for the living room or kitchen.

As for the trending colour of ceilings for 2021 is concerned, it is a white ceiling, beige ceiling and grey ceiling.

• FLOORS

Flooring options don’t alter significantly for each successive year in contrast to other home decor trends. But, the effect of advancing technologies on them is highly noticeable. In modern trends, different types of floors are used by designers. Depending upon the type of stricture, whether residence or office. For example

One of the most popular and widespread trends for flooring is creating the look of some material not using the material itself, but the substitute of it. Notably, the concrete look with tiles isn’t an exception. If you would like to stand out with your extraordinary flooring this year, then this solution is definitely for you.

Wood is a classic solution for flooring with the possible options of firm engineered hardwood.

Tiles are still favoured options for flooring, especially in large sizes, even larger than you may imagine yourself. Specifically, there are some more exciting variations of tiles available now, such as rectangle subway tiles, glass tiles, and decorative tiles that are desirable. The latter can be found not only in concrete materials but also in porcelain tiles that are more lasting and inexpensive. 

Carpets are comfortable flooring options with a large variety of material selection from wool to nylon. New interesting material for rugs is PET, which is a polyester thread, and it is an exceptionally Eco-friendly option. These carpets are mainly in neutral tones and a variety of engaging twist and styles.

 Carpet is not less prominent in 2021 as it was earlier.. The focal point for flooring in 2021 is the concentration on cosines, hence best for WINTERS.. The most notorious and trendiest carpet styles for 2021 include carpet tiles, high-pile plush textures, and handmade rugs.

Talking about trends for doors in 2021, we focus on the interior in general. In 2021, the approach has not changed, so creating such structures is based on strong modern values. We are focusing on environmental friendliness, comfort, restraint, ergonomics, and moderate creativity.

In the quest for open spaces, the imagination of designers knows no bounds.

Thanks to them, the rooms retain the feeling of airiness and volumetric space, 

• Sliding doors

Sliding glass doors from a single sheet without lathing is one of the most striking trends of 2021. Such designs look elegant, and therefore they are recommended to be used not only for large but also for small rooms since they do not hide the space and allow more natural light to enter.
