Unraveling the Email Design Trends We Foresee in 2021

Email design continues to evolve. Email has transformed from simply serving to communicate a message to also being aesthetically pleasing.

Sooner or later, email creators will experiment with combining different design elements. Additionally, they will experiment with new effects that will take email design to a whole different level.  

With that said, let’s unveil the exciting email design trends that are in store for 2021. 

1. Monochrome designs

A form of minimalism, monochromatic designs convey messages with simplicity in design. Contrary to what you might be thinking, the email doesn’t have to be a black and white design. You can have an all pink or all blue monochromatic design. 

2. 3D images

While it hasn’t been widely used, the use of 3D images in email design isn’t a new idea. However, that will change. 3D images add dimension to emails and make them more visually attractive for the recipient.

3. Phantasmagoric collages

4. Muted color palettes (or pastels)

A few years ago, bright colors were used in email designs to draw the subscriber’s attention. However, marketers are turning to color palettes that are desaturated with white, black or other complementary colors. 

If you own a health and wellness business, use muted colors because they reflect purity.
