It's official — 2021 is the year we finally say goodbye to all-neutral spaces and welcome bold shades. In fact, it's been confirmed: As Lauren Cox, manager at online interior design service Havenly, told TZR in November, "I think 2021 will bring out our needs to showcase our design personalities through other more bold, colorful, patterned means." Need more proof? Look to all the celebs embracing orange, the 2021 home color trend that's all set to reign supreme.

It seemed to happen all at once; one day, every A-lister was showing off their minimalist homes, and the next, stars like Gigi Hadid and Mindy Kaling were posting pictures of rooms painted entirely orange, noting a sudden and drastic shift in decor trends for the new year.

That said, you may be hesitant to commit to a color as bright as orange quite so wholeheartedly, which is understandable — it's not for the faint of heart. In that case, take notes from someone like Chrissy Teigen, who added a rust-colored sofa to her living room, or even Victoria Beckham, who simply enhanced her citrus-toned space with orange artwork.

2021 Home Color Trend: Find An Orange Statement Piece

If you're not ready to go all in and paint your walls orange, try Chrissy Teigen's way of adopting this color trend with a statement piece. You can even choose a less saturated hue like the one in her rust-colored sofa to tone things down a notch.

2021 Home Color Trend: Create A Citrus Color Theme

Victoria Beckham's chic orange artwork in this room also demonstrates a genius way to incorporate the shade that feels natural. Instead of pairing peachy tones with contrasting colors, try mixing it with other citrus hues like yellow, so that it fits right in and creates a warm, sunny space.

2021 Home Color Trend: Keep It Subtle With Orange Accents

Claudia Schiffer's mostly minimalist home is proof you don't have to change your ways to incorporate some orange into your space this year. In fact, you barely even need to use it at all to make an impact, which is proven here in this sleek console moment, which features butterfly wall art above with small pops of orange.
