This past year has modified our way of living and seen us spending more time at home . This has given us the opportunity to better understand our living space and how we want it to be , and this is heavily reflected in the trends for 2021 . We are leaning towards a Minimal Boho style that ensures our homes give us what we crave ; coziness , warmth and serenity . Minimal Boho is summer , relaxation and a free spirit . It ’ s naturality , comfort and an open mind . It combines vintage and ethnic style with references to nature with materials like rattan , bamboo , seagrass , stone or wood . Its casual character won ’ t limit us to strict rules so pop art and modern décor are welcomed . Boho is a personality so it should be reflected in colors where natural pale hues can be blended with patterns and textures . When it comes to furniture , 2021 will draw attention to subtle and soft curves including rounded coffee tables and area rugs , oval ottomans , curved back sofas , fluffy cushions and high wooden tapered legs . If you have more space and you ’ re considering a large modular sectional , you can take ino account multicolor pieces as well . Finish the space with a hammock or a swing in your living room . Why not - this is Boho ! If the 60 ’ s style seems to be too much , Boho can be brought to order and adapted to a more modern interior . We are living in an eclectic world so why not play with it .

It doesn ’ t seem to matter where you turn today , you are met with a wall , literally , of beautifully aged brick . Your favorite coffee shop , your dentist ’ s office , even your favorite TV shows have all caught on to the welcoming comfort conjured up by old brick . If you ’ ve caught brick envy , you ’ re not alone . More and more people are choosing brick veneer for their home renovation projects . With a nod to the past , by far the most popular styles are the ones that portray the authenticity and timelessness of old , reclaimed brick . Be it traditional , contemporary or a mix of anything in between , there is simply no style that is not enhanced by the warmth of beautifully aged brick . If the past year has taught us anything , it has shown us just how important our homes are to our well-being . Set against a backdrop of exposed brick , the things we surround ourselves with take on warmth and a new beauty that reminds us of a simpler time . That is what timelessness is all about . - Stone Selex , www . stoneselex . com
