Upcoming Commercial Furniture Trends 2021 You Don't Want to Miss

Economic has plunged itself deep since people are made aware of the danger of being together in enclosed rooms. Offices were closed and people started to work from home.
However, as the year comes to an end and 2021 has come, we are once again facing a new beginning. Offices are starting to open and businesses slowly come back to life. How would this affect the upcoming commercial furniture trend?

Here we share the most likely trends that are coming our way.



Commercial Furniture Trends in Office
You may and may not have returned to your physical office as of now. If you have not, chances are you will return in 2021 or later in the year. However, things will not be the same as the time where the pandemic hasn’t hit. Social distancing, face masks, and hygiene set are the standard manner and more important than anything else.

1. Open Space
   Open space offers an environment that is welcoming and friendly. The expansive look also makes it less stressful for your employee. This also encourages communication and collaboration. Even when they are working individually, being in the same space with others will make your employee more collaborative and have the feeling of being part of a team.
   
   Considering the pandemic has not over yet, open space also has a health benefit as each employee will get to have a six feet distance that has been ruled by the CDC.
   Then, what furniture will you need for an open space office?
   
   Other than the permanent space each employee has, moveable office chairs will still be in the trends for this year. Desks should have an adjustable height option.
   
   
2. Lounge
   Transitioning between working at home and working in the physical office may be a little bit bumpy. That being said, giving a home-like experience in the office will be even more appreciated in the upcoming trends.
   
   Choose furniture that is semi-casual such as armchairs and coffee tables. You may still want to put a cabinet around in case your employees are working or looking for inspiration in the lounge area by discussing with their colleagues.
   
   

Commercial Furniture Trends in Hospitality

1. F&B Businesses
   Restaurants, pubs, cafés, and bars had been badly affected by the pandemic. People are afraid to go out just to have some entertainment. They tend to just stick with their TV or their home theaters. But with the new normal going around, people become less healthy mentally for not going outside at all, people start to have the courage to go out. The hospitality business basically will make a comeback eventually.
   
   What kind of commercial furniture trends for the hospitality business then? Here is some answer to your inquiry.
   
   
2. Hygiene
   Any hospitality business needs to provide furniture that will accommodate the soap or hand sanitizer needed before guests can enter the establishment. Usual desks might be able to hold such lightweight hygiene tools, but customized furniture will make your restaurant or café look neater and fitting to the theme and design you have previously applied. Dejepara can make this furniture with the quality, beauty, and durability of the high traffic that you need.
   
   
3. Counters and Bars
   There is not much different setting in the counter and bar themselves (some adequate barrier might be added, but not necessarily). The barstools and counter stools are now stood apart from one another to mimic physical distancing.
   
   
4. Dining Table
   The dining table should be put apart as far as six feet. Chairs, on the other hand, can still follow the dining table itself. A group of people who enjoy their meal come together and most likely come from the same household, residence, or office.
   
   The noticeable difference though might be the visible mark for physical distancing on the floor. Couches and loveseats will also be removed to avoid unnecessary crowding space. Instead, individual chairs will be provided with an appropriate distance.
   
   

Hotel Furniture
Hotel is impacted by the pandemic as hard as other tertiary industry because people were afraid to go out of their home. However, now that everything is almost back to normal, hotels as a business that offers private space for people to rest will come back to life with little changes.

The need for hotel furniture will be the same, and new designs will fast emerge. How will 2021 make commercial furniture trends for hotels? Here is some foresight into the furniture that will prevail in 2021.

1. Eco Friendly
   To date, many people have felt the need to be as close to nature as possible, even when they are in an urban area. Hotels follow this trend too. High-quality finishing furniture is currently trending, with the natural feel as much as possible. This will ultimately be combined with an urban garden feel. Some hotels even use tubs to decorate the lobby walls with greenery. Eco friendly just never dies.
   
   
2. Variety of Styles
   Fierce competition between hotels ends up taking some hotels into making a whole new concept. Risking branding, some hotels provide different styles on one floor, giving their guests the choice to pick the style of the room to their liking.
   
   Rooms may vary from the minimalist interior, classic, and modern. With this concept, the hotel usually put their identities in the color, design, and accessories around the rooms.
   
   
3. Hotels: Hotel Room Like Home
   This concept offers guests to experience residential space. The interior is designed in such a way that promise the feeling of being home.
   
   The layout will make you recall a full-fledged apartment with bathrooms and kitchens, bedrooms, and even a living room.
   
   Some hotels with an international target market take advantage of this arrangement to introduce tourist local home feeling. This approach will complete the national flavor some tourists might just try to experience aside from enjoying their walks in the neighborhood entertainment area.
   
   
4. Co-working Areas in the Lobby
   Co-working spaces have become more and more popular by the day. This fact sounds in line with how many business negotiations and meetings are done in a hotel lobby.
   
   Considering this, some hotels start to make their lobby function as a co-working area officially. Commercial furniture trends with this arrangement will then require long tables and individual chairs. Ergonomics are not a necessity, but comfort is of course a plus.
   
   

Residential Furniture
What kind of apartment commercial furniture trends in 2021? Home décor evolves, and with it the residential furniture. We might not notice the difference going year to year, but chances are there. And as we embrace 2021, new commercial furniture trends for residence will emerge too.

1. Comfort and Tradition
   In 2020, people tend to pick furniture that is comfortable to use. Maybe because they miss home, because they spend too much outside that now that they are home, they try to find comfort more than anything else. Plus, instead of trying to find modern appliances and furniture, people look for traditional chairs too. It is not wrong, of course. It may be a good decision too.
   
   Traditional furniture is usually going from one generation to generation. They give such a sense of being home, we want to just cuddle in them and reminisce the old time. Even if we call them traditional, even if their design comes from the past, we have to admit that they never get old and there will no stopping it well into 2021.
   
   In 2021, people will look for sofas, armchairs to curl up in. They will also look for pieces that less minimal or mid-century design with fewer carvings.
   
   
2. Lighter Woods to Dominate the Commercial Furniture Trends
   People will embrace blond, light oak than medium or darker shades of wood in 2021. This color gives a bright, cheerful atmosphere to the surrounding, not to mention looks slightly modern in an otherwise traditional piece of wood furniture. Lightwood also exudes the sense of being relaxed and creates the feeling of more space.
   
   
3. Grandmillennial on the Rise
   Grandmillennial design combines modern design with décor you might expect to come from your grandparents’ home. This trend has started in 2020 and will continue to be so in 2021. The furniture you will find in this residential-style is a sofa or couches accompanied by a low wooden table and armless chair. An armchair might be there too to complete the look if there is a fireplace. Other than the furniture, you might find intricate motives on the walls or the rug to give the grandma-ish accent to the room.
   
   
4. Natural Look
   Following the trend of having a softer, more traditional look, natural interior design will be trending too. Cate, leather, jute, ceramic, and organic fibers will rise in 2021 as people will try to make their home as natural as possible. Putting indoor plants will also complete the look.

How do you think of the commercial furniture trends for 2021? Do you want to catch up or do you want to stay as you are? 2020 certainly was a harsh year for all of us, but we cannot dwell in the past. Life goes on and 2021 will welcome us with a new atmosphere, a new environment, and new expectations.
