"2021 will be a rebirth, not a reset"
The year of 2021 is about looking towards the future (,Pinterest Predicts), self- reflection and internal work.
People are looking to take back control of their lives, stand up for their communities, and a roadmap to get through this transition.
Internal work means looking online for inspiration and motivation.
But it's not just internal growth, people are looking to change up their environments as well.
Discovering new home decor trends, improving their mindset and spirituality, and trying new things are all ways social media users have been using social media platforms like Pinterest over the past year.
Here are some of my favorite trending topics, and ways you can incorporate these trends to your brand or business.
Home - Neon lights
It's all about the vibe. People want to enjoy their bedrooms by making it an entertaining space.. People are looking to add LED lights and neon into their bedrooms.

Home - Japandi
Minimalism is in, and so the term "Japandi" was created. Japandi is a mix of Japanese and Scandinavian Design.
Neutral shades, minimal decor, and wooden accents are the key elements. Keep this design in mind if you're thinking about re-branding or for brand photoshoots.
