After such a challenging year, the first of the trends we predict is
Travel! Travel! Travel! We will be dreaming of travelling to exotic places, to the sun, to the lush green landscapes of faraway lands. The desire to escape, to travel abroad, to explore the world, to discover new cultures and immerse ourselves in new colours, will be key to 2021!

The second trend we identified for 2021 is the
Green awakening: the desire to connect with nature everywhere: in our houses, in our gardens, on our window sills, in the parks, in the wild. This need for making peace with Mother Nature is expressed with bold colours that fill our senses with strong emotions and inspire us to a more sustainable future.

This takes us to the third trend:
Sustainability. The past year has given us lots of time to think, to consider which part we play in society and how our behaviour affects the planet we live on. A more sustainable lifestyle will become more and more popular: from going green and make eco-friendly life choices to the very basic shop-local and supporting our communities

The last (but definitely not least) trend for 2021 is
Mindfulness and Wellbeing. We discover the importance of connecting with others, the understanding of mental health issues and the importance of movement and exercise. We want hugs, love, affection, relaxation, yoga and to be healthy.
