We’ve experienced a year where the doors of change trends were wide open, and these changes continue to evolve. In home decoration, we are also faced with new trends this year. We’ve gathered the standout decoration trends and colors of spring 2021 for you in detail.
- Return to Nature: Biophilia-Biophilic Design
You may not have heard the word "biophilia" before. However, perhaps unknowingly, we’ve incorporated this term into our lives extensively during the pandemic. Biophilia is derived from the words "life" and "love," meaning it can be defined as a love for nature and life. So, how do we see the concept of biophilia in home decor? The answer is quite simple…
Among the reasons why this concept is rapidly spreading in our living spaces are the restrictions we've experienced and our separation from greenery and soil while surrounded by concrete blocks. Feeling trapped between buildings makes us unhappy and increases our stress. This situation creates negative consequences in all aspects of our lives. With the concept of biophilia, which focuses on a return to nature, we can create an escape point. By simply integrating nature into your living spaces, you can adopt this approach. What can you do? You can place plenty of plants in your home, add an aquarium among them, and choose soft, soothing colors for your furniture.
Incorporating wood into your interior and opting for fabrics with nature-inspired patterns will be a great solution. Imagine yourself walking in a forest or by a lake—can you feel the peace? With biophilic design, this return to nature will bring the tranquility of nature into your home.
- Simple and Functional: Japandi
Although we’ve only recently started hearing about the Japandi style, its origins date back quite a long time. In the 1950s, prominent architects and designers of the era combined Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian design, giving birth to Japandi.
In the Japandi style, gray, beige, and pastel tones dominate the space. Similar to biophilic design, green plants can be used to bring nature indoors and create contrast with the soft colors. Minimalism is key, so avoiding excessive accessories and furniture and creating as simple an environment as possible is essential. The furniture chosen should be simple yet functional. Clean lines and straightforward forms are central to the Japandi style, with wooden details taking the spotlight. This creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
