We are huge fans of interiors and interior design and are firm believers that your home should reflect your personality and incorporate a few trendy pieces. Not only do fashion trends and interior design trends go hand in hand, but both industries tend to complement one another so well.

We know that keeping up with interior design trends can seem very daunting, so we’re here to help guide you through one of this season’s major trends- romanticism. Romanticism combines soft neutral tones like cream and dusty pinks with painted, antiqued, or vintage furniture pieces. This trend appears on the Instagram feeds of fashionistas everywhere, and we cannot get enough of these romantic design elements. From the oh-so-popular antique mirrors to the body bust, candles read on to reveal our must-have accessories.

1. Botanicals- How much wallpaper is too much wallpaper? We’re asking for a friend. We are embracing wallpaper and are majorly obsessed with botanical wallpapers at the moment. Botanicals can brighten a room and make it come to life. Introducing florals is a considerable change from the neutral color walls we gravitated towards last year. Spring is right around the corner, so its the perfect time to refresh your space with floral motifs like these options:

2. Handblown Glass- Glass is the material of the moment and is popping up in contemporary interiors left and right. These delicate additions can make an intimate space like a condo or apartment feel larger. Play with different color combinations, shades, and glass textures to create a visual statement that could be a conversation starter for future house guests post-pandemic.

3. Contoured Shapes- We are seeing contoured shapes everywhere, and we love that these pieces can help frame your unique interior decor story. With maximalism on the rise, personalize your space and make it memorable with retro-inspired objects like looped candle holders and chamber sticks. Grouping sculptural candles with vintage finds from the past can add an artistic element and introduce color and texture to any neutral space. This design element is fun and playful, so please do us a favor and show off your curves in 2021.

4. Line Drawings- Minimalist line drawings are a very popular interior decor trend right now. Line art uses illustrations of line and the negative space around it to create a visual statement. Picasso and Matisse mastered this distinctive style in the past, and we’ve seen a resurgence in its popularity. From silhouettes to nature, and still-life we’ve fallen head over heels for these abstract expressions.
