Materials, shapes, objects, styles, colors… What are the major decoration trends that will mark this year? The Homelisty team deciphers for you what 2021 has in store for us in the world of decoration for the dining room, the kitchen, the bathroom, the living room, the bedroom …
1. Create a reading corner with a club chair
Iconic, the club chair is a welcoming, curvaceous chair. In its traditional form, it can be quite imposing. Typical of the industrial style, it fits perfectly into a modern interior and brings character to a Scandinavian decor. Opt for a contemporary version, with a lighter structure, to create a comfortable and minimalist reading corner in your living room.
2. Install a round glass table
The round coffee table is a great decoration classic. Glass top or wooden top, it never goes out of fashion. However, we advise you to opt for this type of coffee table in a large living room, because it takes up space. To dress a glass coffee table, we put beautiful books and a bouquet of flowers.
3. Get a cocooning atmosphere in the living room with a curvy sofa
The sofa should be a welcoming piece of furniture, in which you want to settle down after a long day. A model with a curvaceous backrest offers a comfortable position. If you opt for a light fabric model (beige, gray, white, etc.), you can integrate it into a classic interior as well as into a more modern decor.
4. Keep a timeless decoration with a round oak coffee table
If you do not want to change your decoration according to trends, opt for rounded furniture that can easily be integrated into a timeless decoration, such as the Scandinavian style for example. Light wood furniture is particularly recommended.
5. Give a retro touch to your decor with a ball armchair
The 70s put rounded furniture in the spotlight! One thinks in particular of the famous Egg armchair by Arne Jacobsen. To integrate a rounded armchair into your current decor, opt for a ball model, in a timeless color such as white, ecru or black.
6. Add a boho touch to your patio or living room with a Papasan armchair
The Papasan armchair is a great classic of boho decoration. Its large soft seat surrounded by rattan makes it a very comfortable armchair. It offers the advantage of being able to be used indoors as well as outdoors.
7. Bring a touch of color to your interior with a tinted glass end table
The end of the sofa is a multifunctional piece of furniture. It can be used as a coffee table, a pedestal table or even a bedside table. For a trendy model that fits perfectly into your interior, we opt for a minimalist model in tinted glass, in a fairly timeless color (blue, green, gray….).
8. Visually expand the living room with a rounded mirror
To adopt a trend, consider accessories and other decorative items. The rounded mirror is a great classic. Its curves dress the wall, while integrating perfectly into any type of interior. The larger you opt for a mirror, the more it visually enlarges the living room.
9. Treat yourself to additional storage with a low sideboard in a row
The sideboard is a storage unit that knows how to adapt to decorating trends. The rounded models can be integrated into any type of interior, from the most vintage to the most contemporary. Its curves allow it to fit more easily than a classic sideboard in a small living room: it will indeed look less massive.
10. Have a booster seat in your living room with a curvy ottoman
The pouf is a booster seat that takes up little space in a living room, even a small one. Choose a model with a relatively classic style so that it fits easily into any type of interior.
11. Highlight your dining table with rounded pendant lights
Installing designer pendant lights above a dining table allows it to stand out, whether they are on or not. Choose a curvaceous or rounded model (in metal, rattan….) To contrast with the stricter side of a rectangular dining table.
12. Install a rounded rug to give a graphic touch to the living room
The round jute rug has been trendy for a few years, brought up to date in particular thanks to the boho decoration. Choose a larger or smaller model, depending on the size of the room, to dress the floor with a geometric pattern.

We use more and more adhesive wallpaper like this model to facilitate the installation.
