On Wednesday, Modsy released its Trend Report for 2021, which predicts what home decor trends will be popular in the coming year.

Sustainable and affordable designs are also becoming more popular.
Designers are expecting to see more color in homes in 2021 as people tire of a neutral color scheme.

Like anything else, home decor evolves. And although the bigger shifts are more noticeable over longer periods of time, there are typically new trends that enter the design space each year.

To help people keep abreast of these trends, Modsy releases an annual Trend Report full of predictions of what will be popular in people's homes in the coming year.

Insider spoke to Modsy's vice president of style, Alessandra Wood, about the trends people will embrace in 2021 and why they're making people feel at home.
