If you know someone well at all, gift giving can be a pretty easy, low-stress situation. Have a foodie friend? Give a gift card to their favorite restaurant. Know a wellness fanatic? Buy them something from Goop. It’s all pretty straightforward — that is, unless you’re buying for someone who already knows about (and likely owns) everything cool they could ever want. Yep, the trendsetters in your life are a tricky set, but it is possible to buy them something that will impress. You just need a list of the trendiest home decor gifts (because anything fashion-related can get even more complicated) to make things easier.

Pulled straight from the accounts of influencers who are somehow always able to predict the next It-item, the list ahead is full of some of 2021's biggest status pieces and trends so you can impress your loved ones with your knowledge of all things ~cool~. That includes checkerboard prints (because yes, they're still going strong), blob-shaped pieces, and, naturally, lots of candle-related gifts. And of course, there's a range of sizes and prices, so no matter who you're buying for, rest assured you'll be able to find what you need here.

These and more trendy home decor gift ideas, ahead.

We only include products that have been independently selected by The Zoe Report's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.
