TRENDS & CLOTHES & THINGS

Finding the perfect comfort and happiness at home has become a trend that unexpectedly came about through the spread of COVID-19, quarantining, and staying at home. Before the spread of the virus, interior design and furniture were looking towards a more simple aesthetic with soft edged, natural earth-tones, and focusing on natural and simple looks. However, because of the quarantine, trends have shifted drastically from the comfortable minimalist with small subtle incorporation's of natural elements to growing into an eclectic 2020. The rise of the eclectic trend emphasizes the need to be visually stimulated at home. The trend also highlights the growing trend of thrifting and upcycling. Because the eclectic trend is largely recognized through the use of different trends through different eras, thrifting has become a popular option for some who are looking to get that older look at a cheaper and more sustainable price. These home have a wide variety of mixed patterns and textures.

       I slowly watched this trend take over personally with each target visit I made throughout the pandemic. I tend to make my way through the home decor section, specifically the Magnolia section every time I shop because of my love for target home (not sponsored, lol). I watched the decor go from white canvas prints with very minimal design and light tan interior colors, to bright colors and graphics. Not only that, but they also started selling the some of the wall-decor with gold antique-like framing. All of which, can be stimulating eye work for all of us, who are stuck at home and are forced to love the walls we live in.
