Q&A Session with Carrell Stahala, Head Designer at Serena & Lily Store
Holiday Home Decor Trends for 2021
As the holiday season approaches, home decor trends are shaping up to create festive and comfortable spaces that strike a balance between sophistication and nature. Carrell Stahala, the leader of the Dallas Serena & Lily Store since its opening in 2018, has shared the top trends for home decor in 2021.
Online shopping is expected to be the main trend for this year's holiday season, with early shopping advice given for prompt shipping. According to Carrell, finding something personal is key when choosing holiday gifts.
In terms of home decor, a mix of natural, woodsy elements combined with refined, elegant details is a popular trend. Cozy, warm textures like velvet and boucle are emphasized, along with rustic touches such as dried flowers and branches. A soft, neutral color palette with occasional pops of traditional holiday colors is also recommended. Layering different textures and materials is another trend aimed at creating a welcoming, lived-in feel.
The environment you live in can greatly impact your daily life and promote wellness through peace of mind and comfort. Adding plants to your living space can clean the air, provide mental and mood boosts, and be good for the soul.
Outdoor spaces are also seeing a surge in popularity, with having a luxurious, well-decorated patio, porch, or deck being important for enjoying the outdoors. Design Roots, a company that focuses on creating lovely outdoor spaces, shares the tagline "Life outdoors is life fully lived". Innovative hobbies and patio décor were popular trends in 2019, and this year, there is a trend towards products that engage the whole family, such as game tables for family game nights.
People are also decorating more for the holidays and decorating earlier this year. With the ongoing pandemic, social distancing measures are still in place, and outdoor furniture and outdoor pillows are in high demand for social gatherings.
Carrell Stahala advises taking time to consider what makes you happy when making home purchases. A positive customer experience, particularly when interacting with someone who genuinely cares about their decisions, can be memorable. Serena & Lily offers a variety of home provisions including pillows, bedsheets, area rugs, and more to help you create the perfect holiday space.
