Welcome, 2021! Where interior wish lists are made… and made over into reality. Spending so much time at home, one thing we all came to know is that our homes have become top on our lists of priorities and continue to grow with us as we emerge through these trying times. Did you make a Decor Resolution and are unsure where to start? As we walk you through the 2021 home, you’ll find inspiration, decor tips, and design strategies to turn your resolutions into solutions!
In the Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of the home and the trending designs for 2021 are practical and beautiful at the same time. Picture if you will, a solid-surface backsplash that slides to reveal hidden shelves. We’ll see more stone slabs for the backsplash - sliding or not, that will coordinate with interesting mosaic tile features. Natural, lighter woods for the floors and cabinets that mix with painted cabinetry are still sought after and mixed metals for fixtures/hardware are the new reveal that we cannot get enough of.
The Bathroom

Patterns that play well together in today’s bathroom are essential. Create eye-catching design by combining different sizes and colors from the same tile series and be sure to highlight your design with an amazing accent wall. Chevron and Herringbone are still highly sought after and there’s no better place than the 2021 bathroom to showcase these patterns. Did you know that larger format tiles will visually expand your space? For more tile style tips, ask us.
Fashion Forward Formal Dining Rooms
Maybe it’s that we’re dreaming of gathering around the table with friends and family without any interruption from the open floor plan. The Formal Dining Room has been gaining in popularity for a couple of years now and in 2021 we anticipate this “old” room will become new with fashion forward design.
LOOK UP! Design enthusiasts are turning their attention to the fifth wall - the ceiling. What we can expect, more beams, coffered (as pictured) papered to match walls, and painted in patterns or drenched in color.
Traditional. Classical. Beautiful.

Did working from home and the kid’s schooling take over your Dining Room?
KNIGHT’S DECORATORS AND EDUCATORS COME TOGETHER WITH DESIGN STRATEGIES
2021 TREND ALERT: KIDS BEDROOMS WILL BE DESIGNED AROUND THE DESK
It goes without saying it aloud, but if you have children the one thing you’ve been learning along with them is that open floor plans are not conducive to on-line schooling. There are just too many distractions. Our inspirational ‘Kid Rooms’ are designed with that in mind providing plenty of space to work in quiet, ahem!, solitude.
unlike kids rooms, the master bedroom is the place to put the day away. no work desks allowed.
The Master Bedroom
Upholstered Headboards
Trending for a few years now, the upholstered headboard is still a must have in the Master. Gorgeous shapes allow you to let your imagination flow and invite more fabric patterns and textures into the room.
Carpeting
We are seeing a lot more requests for wall-to-wall carpeting in the bedroom - mostly patterns! Carpet warms the bedroom, is easy to care for and, like other rooms, makes the biggest impact.
For area rugs, we highly recommend the use of broadloom (aka wall-to-wall) allowing limitless design for custom area rugs in shapes, sizes and borders.
WINDOW TREATMENTS
One of the most important elements in any bedroom are the window treatments and the look for 2021 is layered. Layering your window treatments provides the soothing effects of darkening the room, energy-efficiency, and will complete your design theme. Motorizing your window treatments allows you to preset schedules for the ultimate wake-up call.

The Hardest Working Rooms
Does your Decor Resolution include updating the hardest working rooms in your home? Whenever possible start with the floors, and be sure they are designed to take a beating.
In The Living Room
As we move forward into 2021, neutral and natural interiors are the mainstay. Warm and inviting in high-performing comfortable textiles, natural materials in hardwood flooring and stone fireplaces that stretch floor-to-ceiling, all accented with pops of color in area rugs, sofa pillows, and drapery panels.

Hard to reach windows are easily covered and operated with motorized window coverings and hardwood floors are still the popular choice for living room floors. Want to see more flooring choices?

Cognac!
The must-have furnishing in 2021 is anything in Cognac… preferably leather… and when paired with over-played grays, Cognac introduces an edgy contrast.

What’s your number?
Accenting your living space with color comes in pillows, lots and lots of decorative, patterned, trimmed pillows in the high-performing fabrics that complement your neutral base and bring the living room to life.
One of the questions we are most often asked is: How many pillows should I use on my sofa?
Statement Stairways
Stairs are the design feature you didn’t know you had! Have you been wanting to make a statement in your interior, but not sure where to start? The stairs provide the perfect place to complement any interior style with unexpected patterns. Here’s a few of our favorites.
