One of the most top 2021 interior design trends is contemporary trompe l’oeil. The term means 'deceive the eye.' Contemporary trompe l’oeil is an artistic concept that focuses on creating artworks that trick viewers' perceptions. Trompe l’oeil artists are dedicated to creating curiosity and delight in the art's viewer.

One feature trompe l'oeil artworks have in common in interior design is that they add unexpected humor to building interiors. When visitors encounter these artworks, they marvel with excitement, and many express their views verbally.

A typical contemporary trompe l'oeil artwork that is also a trending interior design element as of 2021 is Bonaldo’s New Perspective Mirror. To a person standing in front of the mirror, the artwork creates an illusion that there's an extra interior space beyond the mirror. This illusion is fortified by freehanded lines drawn on the surface of the mirror by artists.
