MY TREND
JOURNEY
From home trends forecaster to lead designer, Karen
top 10
TIMELESS
is the chieft creative principle and trend thought
leader at Karen B. Wolf Interiors.
TRENDS
Design is led by culture and this year we have witnessed a
seismic shift in how we view and value our homes. What we
want from our homes has been reimagined and never
before have Americans been more clear on what matters
and what does not. The world pandemic has defined design
trends into hyper focused movements centered around
comfort, escape, organization, wellness, distraction and
multi-function. When we can control so little, our homes
have become the epicenter of what we can control. A
refuge, sanctuary, retreat, place of work, safety and shelter
the 2021 home is more important than ever.
Formerly educated as a fine artist with a BFA from
University of Michigan, Karen combined her arts with
a masters in consumer behavior from Northwestern
University with specific training in trends analysis.

GROUNDED
The Modern Farmhouse trend has evolved from farmhouse
cottage into a sprawling Meditterean Modern Farmhouse
ALABASTER NATURAL REDDENED JAVA
SW 7008 TAN EARTH SW 6090 style. Warmer, grander and more authentic to historical
SW 7567 SW 6053 architectural form, the suburban house is now a family
compound built with a sense of place and rooted in culture
and artisan crafts. Designed for family gatherings,
entertaining, isolating, socializing and sheltering in place
this trend is pandemic prepared with large open floorplans,
double kitchens, double islands, large outdoor entertaining
areas, adulting play spaces, kids play spaces and self
contained multi-generational co-living spaces. Interior
finishes are time worn, handmade and take their cue from
sun baked artistry. The palette is warm and earthy with

CUDDLE
Sink in and sigh, Cuddle is about comfort and touch. While
we crave human interaction and stay in place in our
pajamas, soft, tactile materials and forms have become a
SIMPLE CROOKED VINTAGE WARM daily hug. Monochromatic, voluminous and layered this
STONE RIVER SW 9528 WINTER trend is not about color but a welcoming tactile experience.

PASTICHE
One of the hottest Instagram Trends Pastiche is a playful
twist on the 80’s and 90’s ugliness. Previously called the
Memphis Art Movement, the current take on this trend is
pastel colors rather than primaries with simplified
patterning. Forms are still over exaggerated and colors
clashing while mass materials like plastic are used in

JOY
13-0647 SW 9065 SW 6749
Unlike happiness which is measured over time, joy is an
in-the-moment experience. Elements like color, humor and
abundance can be used to create experiences that bring us
happiness. This trend is mostly about color, humor and
positivity. Most of us add small moments of Joy to our
homes in small doses that can be revolved or replaced over
GREEK VILLA JAIPUR ALEXANDRITE ALEUTIAN time. We expect 2021 to be all about joy with Pantones

Heirloom is about inclusion, acceptance and hospitality. No
longer are we donning our family’s hand me downs but
embracing the nostalgic and storied importance of each
item. A return to our heritage, this trend restores meaning
to family traditions and historic design elements. From
Neoclassicism to English Country, heirloom was a Grand
Millennial trend celebrating granny chic. Now a more
universal style heirloom is about all things past for all

CABIN
ESCAPE in 2021 is at an all time premium while second
home retreats escalate in popularity and price. The cabin
concept is a new vacation model respresenting family
values, good ole days and togetherness. Campy and simple,
the Cabin is not a down country shack but a nod to nostalgic
URBANE CHESTERTOWN KINGSPORT ROSY America. Campfires and smores this wholesome and casual

MODERN RURALIST
As we are no longer tethered to our place of work we head
down country roads to a place of tranquility, hope and
simplicity. Modern city dwellers and suburbanites are taking
stock and moving to rural areas with their modern
aesthetics and sensibilities. This intimate trend is rooted in

Bespoke and boutique this luxury, curated trend is about
the quality of materials. Custom and tailored but still
comfortable. In this soft minimal style forms are sinuous and
eased. The 2021 arch is clean lined and marble abounds.

AGILITY
Surviving the pandemic means being flexible and creative with our home.
Multi-functional spaces, modular furniture and carved out spaces for secondary
activities are trending for 2021. The open concept once sought after for young
families is now being subdivided and smaller task spaces through-out the home
are sought after. The 2021 garage is no longer utilitarian. Considered a pandemic
life saver try using it for a kid or adult gym, office, bar or second hangout area.
Additional emerging spaces include indoor gardens, art and crafting areas, air
purifying ventilation saunas, underground bunkers, year round tents, pergolas
and tree houses, speakeasy basement bars, and more.@laclosetdesign

OCD
1 in 4 Americans suffer from anxiety. While alcohol consumption is up during the
pandemic so is organizing. Sheltering-in lead to more time enabling the “Home
Edit” trend to become even more dominant than pre-Covid. From color coding to
labeling the pantry is not the only area getting some love. Closets, photos, art
rooms, and shelves are all being approached with mindful and creative styling
moments.Lay-Z-Spa

OZARK CHIC
To put it politely, anything fun no matter how it looks goes in Ozarck Chic. An
above ground pool in a 5MM dollar home? OK. An inflatable hot tub in your living
room? Why not. Indoor and outdoor lights that change color? Cool. Your dad’s
recliner in that newly renovated family room. You win. Beer pong with your
teenagers? Of course, what is underage. Multicolor and mismatched Adirondack
chairs – the more color the better. A Guinness pub table in your dining room
(finally a thing). And the list continues. If it’s fun, it really does not matter if it
“goes”. For all of us designers, cringeworthy but true.thyaonuk
