Top 100 Art & Design Trends in 2021

From Japanese Philosophy Flooring to Speedy Setup Tiny Homes

— January 30, 2021 — Art & Design
The 2020 art & design trends are full of visually appealing designs that are ready for any space or setting. These vary from designs for homes, architecture, interior design, artworks, and much more. One of the notable trends this year is the wood flooring in a design project by Sergey Makhno.

The space honors Japanese philosophy by creating a unique flooring set with 500 year old oak wood. The concept embraces the natural transition in different shades that perfectly align with one another. Another standout art and design trend this year is the Boxabl Casita Prefab Tiny Home. It is a compact design that can be assembled within the time of one hour.
