2021 Color + Design Trends: A Confirmation for Spring
04/05/2021 | davidcamacho |
Our 2021 Color+Design trends report was released just last fall, but we decided to start reviewing our forecasts now to see which trends are already coming to fruition. What we found were several themes already in play,as well as many others on the horizon:
Desert Warmth
The popularity of desert hues continues to move forward. From rosy tans to spicy oranges, these nature-based colors come alive and provide a wealth of inspiration.

Emerging Brown Influence
As a nod to the increased popularity of warmer hues, browns ranging from light beiges to deep chocolate emerge throughout interiors and fashion this spring, providing a subtle key to its importance in the years ahead.

Deep, Dark, and Moody Hues
In the last few years, we’ve fallen in love with the intensity of mysterious, opulent colors, and all indicators prove that this trend is not going anywhere. Resonating coziness and warmth, as well as drama and mysticism, this full range of lush hues continues to enchant us all.

Happy Hues
As the pandemic continues, we find that bright, cheerful colors are increasingly highlighted in fashion, interiors, and public spaces, as well as in sportswear and outdoor gear. These lighter, fresher hues encourage positive
feelings of hope and happiness.

The Continued Influence of Green
We noted the influence of green with our 2020 Color of the Year, Minty Fresh(DE5687), as well as our 2017 Color of the Year, The Green Hour(DET544)— and it looks like we’re onto something! From grass and mint to luxurious jewel tones, these lush, verdant hues will continue to expand their impact in the next few years.
