3 Home Décor Ideas Inspired by 2021 Fashion Trends
Wondering whether a trend originated from the fashion industry or the home décor realm is a bit like querying whether the chicken or the egg came first. What's the point? Let's just say that fashion and décor go hand-in-hand, constantly feeding off one another. Whenever I start to see a fashion trend skyrocket, I suddenly notice it pop up in homes as well (and vice versa).
For this story, I decided to highlight a trio of trends that will be important in both fashion and home décor for 2021. Why shouldn't your apartment be just as chic as your closet? Scroll down to shop the trends you can buy via hand towels, skirts, mirrors, earrings, candles, sweatshirts, and more—including the number one pattern that definitely surged last year and will continue to grow in 2021.

I love the Matisse vibes of these earrings.

Next, Kate Middleton wore the trend I'd gladly ditch my skinny jeans for.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
