Natural hues to be 2021’s home decor trend

Next year's colour trends are predicted to move away from bright colours and move towards natural hues and soothing tones inspired by nature.

According to the website livingetc.com, home decor in 2021 will reflect the natural world, especially wood. The coronavirus pandemic has meant people are spending more time at home, and they want their homes to be comforting sanctuaries away from the virus threat. Soft, natural hues are soothing and provide a sense of comfort.

Natural decor starts with a wood floor. Livingetc forecasts that households will move away from dark wood stains to natural, clean finishes, and organic oils with white pigments will be used to lighten wood floors. Nick White, an expert on sustainable wood flooring, says:

"We are seeing a lot of neutral, natural wood colours being specified by the architects and designers that we work with."

Rooms with light wood floors and earthy neutral coloured walls create a naturally soothing environment. Pale shades of green, pink or yellow can emotionally uplift those spending a lot of time in a particular room.

Solid wood flooring in Wrexham and North Wales homes is often used to bring a touch of nature into the home. Homeowners considering installing a new floor covering should consider light solid wood flooring if they want to follow the forecasted colour palette trend. A less expensive alternative is engineered wood flooring, which has a natural wood top layer.

Whether you follow colour trends or not, new wood flooring can help to turn your home into a sanctuary.
