In 2020, more than half of homeowners invested in home-related purchases compared to the prior year. Maybe it was all the extra time on everyone’s hands due to the pandemic, or perhaps it was from being stuck indoors and looking at outdated decor. But, for whatever reason, homeowners have been updating and remodeling areas of their homes, with no sign of this trend slowing down.
If you are planning to update areas of your home, here are the top home décor trends you need to know.

#1 Large Wooden Surfaces
With the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, homeowners sought ways to bring the outdoors in. As a result, wooden accents throughout homes have become a popular trend.
Woods with large visible grain are popular pieces for kitchens and tables, as homeowners install treated wood in place of countertops. Aside from countertops, wood flooring is currently one of the hottest design trends.
Sustainable wood is also a consideration for many designers. As a result, responsibly sourced materials have become a more significant part of design culture. Recently, recycled wood surfaces and other innovative uses of discarded woods have found their way into the modern kitchen.
#2 Bohemian Gallery Wall
While gallery walls have been around for some time, modern homes explore the trend by adding a boho (bohemian) feel.
Paintings or framed photos collected over a lifetime, alongside natural wood carvings or finishes and flowers, can be stunning use of a large open wall.
The curated design aspect is a striking feature in contemporary living spaces. Using space and pieces that complement each other while adding warm factors like woods and floral arrangement can look great.
#3 Inspiration From the Outdoors
Bringing nature inside has become a popular trend. After spending a year indoors due to the pandemic, homeowners desire to be surrounded by fresh green spaces.
There are several ways that homeowners can bring outdoor nature into their space. Natural light through a skylight is one way. Additionally, homeowners are using earthy color palettes and potted plants to get the same effect.
Other than wood, homeowners lean towards using natural materials such as bamboo, cotton, and seagrass for home décor.
#4 Warm-Colored Cabinets
White and off-white colors in the kitchen have been trendy over recent years. However, warm, comforting tones are making a comeback.
All-white kitchens are beginning to fade away, and warmer colors, such as greys and blues, are making their way into kitchens. In addition, gold accents, such as hardware, are becoming a popular trend.
#5 Bolder Colors
Homeowners are embracing warm, bright color palettes throughout their homes.
Jewel colors are popular right now, but getting the right balance is essential. Too bright, and spaces can look too flashy. Pairing bolder colors with more muted tones is a way designers are making this type of look work.
Bright, balanced walls are a big part of the bolder colors revolution. But additionally, some designers have been taking it off the walls and boldly coloring floors and other features. As a result, panels, trims, and indoor beams can benefit from a bold, new burst of color.
