A new year allows us to look forward and consider what’s on the horizon – and that’s especially true in the world of interior design. With 2022 in the rear view, we’re transitioning away from the design choices that characterized it – primarily the razor-straight lines, neutral finishes, and modern pieces.
After much back and forth between interior designers over what trends will be top tier this year, a consensus has finally been reached. Here are five trends that design professionals agree will reign supreme in 2023.
Pops of Vibrant Color
The last couple years have seen interiors leaning towards more muted tones and neutral color palettes. In 2023, white and neutral interiors are falling out of favor. Taking their place are more vibrant tones associated with a newfound zest for life, reflecting the re-emergence of vibrancy after the last couple of years of social restructuring and solitude.
Designers urge homeowners to add contrast, warmth, and dimension to spaces with pops of vibrant color.
Choose saturated colors such as gracious russets, calming corals, balmy apricots, and zesty oranges for key items such as décor, walls, and tile. This lends immediate warmth to a space, providing that lived-in feel that allows a house to feel like a home.
Sustainable Decor
In addition to embracing vivid colors palettes, incorporating more unique and hand-designed pieces are also a trending phenomenon.
The distinctive marks and unique irregularities of handcrafted furniture and décor are being incorporated more fervently into interior design, quickly replacing mass-produced items. A distinct emphasis is being placed on sustainable and ornate décor that prioritizes woodcraft, hand-hewn details, and unique inlay.
This year, interior design pays homage to the painstaking process and one-of-a-kind handiwork that conveys personalization, self-expression, and variation. Designers and innovators are taking creative chances, prioritizing variety that adds a wonderful sense of warmth and fluidity to homes. This includes décor and styles that emphasizes softer shapes, curved furniture, rounded sculpture, and more arched embellishments when it comes to doors and entranceways.
Bold Marbles
There has been a major movement towards marble as statement pieces recently. This trend involves the use of statement-making marble pieces in homes. This can include bold marble flooring, countertops, walls, and furniture. Bold marbles are characterized by their striking patterns, vivid colors, and intricate veining. The trend celebrates the natural beauty and unique characteristics of marble and aims to create a luxurious and eye-catching look in homes.
Bold marbles can be paired with other materials such as brass, glass, and wood to create a modern and eclectic aesthetic. This trend is perfect for those who want to make a statement in their home and add a touch of sophistication to their interior design.
Moody Rooms
Moody rooms are a growing interior design trend for 2023. This trend involves creating spaces with a dark, dramatic, and cozy atmosphere. Moody rooms use deep, rich colors such as black, navy, forest green, and dark grey. These colors are used on walls, furnishings, and accessories to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The trend also involves incorporating velvet, wool, and leather textures to add depth and warmth to the space. Lighting touches such as dimmer switches, candles, and fixtures will also enhance the room’s mood.
Interior designers are drawn to this trend because it offers a departure from the past’s traditional light and airy spaces and provides an opportunity to create a sophisticated and luxurious look. Moody rooms are ideal for those who want to create a cozy and intimate atmosphere in their home, and for those who appreciate the beauty of the dark and dramatic design.
All Natural
While interior greenery elements have been a standing trend for the last few years, we’re beginning to see botanical patterns begin to shift away from ‘lush green’ and towards ‘raw and mossy’.
As the demand for design that embraces the irregular and imperfect grows, expect to see more patterns that depict the unpredictability of nature and its plethora of grainy textures.
Material designers are embracing the more unprocessed components of nature, integrating more biodiverse pieces into their lines. This includes décor that emphasizes desert landscapes, brick and clay inlays, fungal and floral designs, and recycled fixtures and furnishings.
