Say goodbye to matchy-matchy tufted bedroom furniture sets, accent walls, and modern farmhouse decor. It’s 2021 and updated style trends are in full swing. Keep reading to see how you can incorporate 2021’s most popular styles in your apartment.

Minimalism

With more time spent at home this past year, people are going into full Marie Kondo mode in their apartments to refresh, redecorate, and declutter where they spend most of their days. While minimalism has been on everyone’s radar for quite some time now, the effects of staying home 24/7 has more people than ever ready to purge excess belongings. So, why not jump on the bandwagon and join the minimalist movement?

Coffee or Tea Stations

With coffee shops and cafes falling short on customers due to more laid-back work environments (aka work-from-home flexibility), the number of domicile coffee connoisseurs has risen sharply. If you’re a lover of all things caffeine, give the coffee or tea station a try! Not enough counter space? No problem! Rolling bar carts like this one, make for the perfect set-up.

Wicker is Back!

If you’re into the aforementioned minimalist trend, boho-chic styles, or the casual-coastal vibe, then wicker or rattan is for you. And we don’t mean your grandmother’s outdated white-painted wicker set! We mean natural wood wicker, like this coffee table, planter, this cool lounge chair, or these lidded baskets.

Urban Jungles

If you’re not getting a new furry friend while you’re working from home, then you’re probably all about the plants – and for good reason! Watering plants is hard to miss when you’re home all day, every day. So, go ahead, step into the world of plant parenthood and pick up a few easy-to-care-for green babies at your local nursery. Just be sure to read up on water and light requirements beforehand.

Wallpaper

While accent walls seem to be on their way out, wallpaper (the peel-and-stick version) is headed back in with full force! From granny-chic florals to muted geometric patterns, there are endless ways to pop a peel-and-stick wallpaper onto your walls for some added color, dimension, and even texture.
