Home design trends for 2021

Spending so much time at home in 2020 caused many people to rethink life at home.

Private spaces

With families both working and schooling from home, many people started feeling open floor plans were too open and found themselves longing for more private spaces… looking for separate spaces for Zooming, lounging, exercising, e-learning… even just carving out a private corner.
