2. Apart from the masks, sanitizers
and social distancing during
the pandemic which were
definitely an accessory to our
overall lifestyle, I’d like to talk
about the other trends that took
place in the industry.
3. 1.
White curtain
canopy
Being stuck at home brought a
particular decorating style in trend. In
this trend, the white chiffon or cotton
voile fabric is used as a curtain and a
canopy is made using that.
5. 5
Since canopy curtains are
used to create an aesthetically
pleasing environment, sheer
curtains are an ideal choice to
enhance the look of any
occasion. Sheers add elegance
to the design of any room, no
matter whether they are used
as window curtains or
decorative curtains.

That was a picture of Kritika Khurrana,
who is an Indian Influencer, that was a
glimpse of her birthday that she
celebrated at her home during the
lockdown period in which this canopy
decoration can be seen. It looks classy
and fun at the same time. And personally
I saw many people follow this kind of
decoration technique on their terrace or
any corners of the room.

Fluid art
Acrylic pouring, also known as fluid art
painting is a form of abstract art that
uses acrylic paints with a runny
consistency. Layers of acrylic paint are
poured into a cup, which then react
with each other when combined to
create organic free-flowing abstract
compositions .
9. 9
Fluid art is visually very
aesthetic and definitely
therapeutic– a perfect
stress buster. The best part
is you don't need any
experience in painting to
indulge in this art form.
10. 10
Many influencers
promoted this fluid art
not just because it was
fun to do but also
because it was a way of
calming the mind. It’s a
process which is
extremely satisfying to do
and the end result is
amazing in itself.
11. 11
The acrylic paints react
with each other when
combined together to
make interesting and
visually organic motifs.
12. This type of art is fun for all
ages. Fluid acrylics can be
used on many types of
substrates and in many
different forms such as
pouring, dripping, swirling,
glazing, dipping and many
other effects. Fluid art opens
up a lot of possibilities and is
definitely worth exploring and
adding to your artist tool belt.

Get Waisted
Expanding beyond the traditional '90s
silhouette, the belt bag made an
appearance on the fall/winter 2020
runways in fresh and new shapes that
find the perfect balance between style
and practicality.
14. The modern day fanny pack,
known more commonly as the belt
bag, first burst back onto the
scene, over two years ago, after
years of attempts. Unsurprisingly,
almost 3 years later, belt
bags remain a go-to for handbag
lovers who want an easy-to-wear
shape that is equally as functional
as it is fashionable.
14
15. Call it whatever you like—fanny
pack, belt bag, hip pack—the waist
bag trend is here to stay. The
latest models throw it back to the
’90s with contemporary updates,
materials, and silhouettes. Dip a
toe with an affordable nylon style
or invest in a leather designer
piece, then rock it slouched across
your body like it’s 2020.

16. Fun-Fact about belt bags:
The preferred mode of styling
them is not actually over your
belt, but slung across your
neck like a crossbody.

Golder and bolder
Bold gold necklaces are bringing back the best of
1970s. Shaking up the look with a combination of
polished yellow gold and matte brushed gold
accessories.
Tubular necklaces look incredible in bold gold, as
do woven braided chains. Adding a callback to the
90s with a gold choker-style necklace that’s sure to
stun.

Silver streak
Mixing metals has become a regular thing. Still, silver
stands out, especially when it’s found in gleamingly
modern and bold statement pieces that stand their ground
against nostalgia-driven designs.
Whether paired with open-front silhouette
or layered over crew necks, these bold
statement piece of jewelry is perfect for
your evening parties, get togethers,
brunch outing with friends and literally
goes for every occasion.
22. When people think about
“lifestyle” and “wellness”,
many associate it with
luxurious spas, but this
2020 trend lets individuals
think more about wellness
on a daily basis.

This might be the less talked about
area, but those who wear spectacles
on a regular basis would definitely
know about the latest blue light
filter that comes inserted on the
lens which protects us from the
harmful rays that comes in contact
with eyes while staring at the
mobile or laptop screen
continuously.
24. 24
The brain associates blue light as daytime, so if a person is exposed to blue light for
long periods of time during the night, blue light makes it more difficult for us to fall
asleep at night and wake up in the morning.
25. 25
Long-term exposure to
screen light can have
some intense serious side
effects. Headaches,
disorientation and loss of
sleep are just the start of it.
26. ▫ The lenses are designed to help reduce the occurrence
of digital eye strain and avoid rhythm cycle disruption,
affecting sleep and overall well-being.
▫ The blue light lenses are usually a pale yellow tint (if
you can see any color at all) and block harmful blue
light, while modulating the wavelength impacting
rhythm.
