The colors of 2021
Speaking of colors, as they say in El Mueble : “They all have a common link: they are colors connected to nature that generate welcoming environments .” There are earth tones, blues and greens. But we also have neutral and warm tones . In fact, white and neutrals are, according to Mi Casa , the “base for any space.”
It should also be noted that the Pantone colors for 2021 are Illuminating Yellow , to give positivity, and Ultimate Gray , which gives a feeling of serenity. Tones that can also be combined with each other.

Old things are reinterpreted in new designs and familiar objects and furniture are recovered.
