Wood-look tiles are also making a comeback in 2021. They’re exquisite and classy, without the drawbacks of actual wood — we all know how difficult they are to maintain.

To effectively style with this design, think about combining it with other wooden tones that are in the same shade or darker compared to your floors or walls. Add in a bit of flair by sticking to a theme, such as this Asian-inspired dining hub on the list.

Another thing about wood designs is that you definitely want to veer into a more traditional or rustic finish. Go for wooden furniture and classic fixtures like pendant lighting or sconces. You may also add custom-built elements such as wall-mount shelves or living room platforms for added depth.

2021 also marks the return of earth tones, pastel colors, and neutral looks that match modern additions — think about the simple, yet functional home office, or shared spaces that can maximize any small area.

Styling with subway tiles should also be on your top list for 2021. Although they’re mostly known for adding beautiful backsplashes to kitchen spaces and dining rooms, you could also mix and match with various patterns to emulate a style of your choice.

For example, if you’re planning on revamping your kitchen area, try white-washing it with a fresh new coating to give off a new and lively finish. These subway tiles come in a gray color that can add a lovely contrast to the rest of your room.

These tiles can also find a home in your living room walls. Style it in such a way that it emulates exposed brick or masonry structures for added effect. Any decorations or furniture that you’ll want to add should come in lighter or more colorful shades for an awe-inspiring living room.
