Are you looking for a way to increase the luxurious aesthetic of your home's interior? Do you want to revamp the interior from its current design? If so, then you need to take the time to learn all that you can about interior design trends for 2021.

Doing so can help you find a look that balances both trendy and timeless. Rather than choose one, you could find several elements that you wish to incorporate into your home.

See below for a list of the top interior design trends for 2021. Allow these to inspire you as you schedule your first meeting with a professional interior design firm.

1. Industrial is the New Modern

If the 2020 pandemic showed us anything, it's that most of us have the power from within to be able to work from home. That doesn't look to be letting up anytime soon, as it helps companies cut down costs on rent and headcount as we get back to normal.

The toughest transition for most people is seeing their own residence as a legitimate place of business. It's too comfy. Too cozy. It lacks the vibe of a workspace.

That could be a huge reason why the industrial aesthetic is on the rise. Many homeowners in Miami are taking advantage of the high ceilings and exposed stone. They're embracing a cross between industrial and luxurious.

The key here is spacing. Even with those high ceilings and minimal decor, your guests won't catch on to the industrial vibe without ample room and an open concept throughout your living space.

Be sure to hire a trusted interior design firm to help you capture this creation. You can show us a few pictures or photos of what you're hoping for, then we'll help you with everything from the spacing, lighting, windows, flooring, and so much more.

2. Black Kitchen Cabinets for the Win

For the last few years, the minimalist design has taken over. People have loved finding ways to use the three neutral colors—black, white, and grey—and incorporate them throughout their home to strike a sense of calmness and balance.

However, as it turns out, grey is no longer as strong of a trend as it once was, especially in the kitchen. Those grey kitchen cabinets are a thing of the past.

Expert interior designers are now nudging people towards black cabinets because of their ability to create a definitive difference between the kitchen and everywhere else in your open concept. It also causes that kitchen to pop a bit more than with white or grey cabinetry.

Don't get us wrong, you can still rock the neutral and minimal interior aesthetic! Try to incorporate a few more black pieces so that they stand out a bit more. The all-white look is on its way out as well.

This also has something to do with the pandemic. People wanted more defined roles for the spaces in their house, such as a way to divvy up the kitchen, dining room, work station, study corner, and so forth.

3. Primary-Colored Decor

Think of Piet Mondrian's famous painting for an example of how this would look in your home. White walls, black detail (such as the black kitchen cabinets mentioned above), and primary-colored decor subtly spread out throughout your home.

Your entire house will have the feel of a luxurious art show! We dare you to be bold by finding a few primary-colored pieces to place strategically around your house. You might consider finding primary colors for home accessories such as:

Vases
Lamps
Mirrors
Portrait Frames
Rugs
Doormats
Baskets & more

The key here is to gauge how much primary color you find acceptable. If that's only one to two accessories pieces of each primary color (red, blue, and yellow), then so be it!

the differentiation between the different colors will help you to create a vibe that meshes perfectly with the city of Miami: bold, bright, and beautiful!

4. Pastel-Themed Interior

You would have to go back to the days of Miami Vice to find the last time that people were eager to place pastel colors in their homes.

However, as these things often do, the retro pastel look is making a comeback! Their soft appearance gives off a comfy beach vibe that your guests will love. This is especially awesome for those of you with waterfront property or a penthouse with a view.

Consider infusing pastel into paint colors, cushions, table lamps, rugs, or anything else that you want to have a welcoming presence to it.

5. Luxury Suite Interior

Envision yourself stepping into the luxury penthouse suite at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, that's the kind of luxury interior we're talking about here.

Think about ways that you can go the extra mile in your home to pull off this magnificent feat such as LED lighting, cushioned headboards for your beds, Art pieces galore, and so much more.

Of course, if you're going to pull off the luxurious look, your home has to have the functionality to back it up. Hire an interior design firm that can help you with optimal plumbing fixtures, lighting fixtures, and installation of all your new additions.
