2023 Interior Design Trends

Trends in interior design may not come and go as quickly as fashion trends, but something new always emerges to inspire us, whether we want to update our space or we've just moved and are starting from scratch.

Grounding with Earthy Tones

We have already recommended the Colour of 2023, Wild Wodner (link), for a luxurious yet peaceful interior design. Natural elegance will be a protagonist this year in people’s homes, as earthy colour tones and palettes are becoming super popular this year. After Covid, people learnt to re-evaluate their homes and treat the like sanctuaries, while the “remote” and “cocoon” terms are longer a necessity but a chosen life-style. Calming earthy tones on the walls and in different textiles, bring a grounded and calm aura and leave a large opportunity for experimentation with furniture and decorative items that tend to stand out.  


Wellness Reflected

Not far from the grounding idea, self-care and wellness are going to b reflected in interior design visually and not due to lack of space or storage. Instead of folding and hiding your yoga mat, create a training corner and and combine it with some plants or candles. A nice rug for more comfort during training is always a good idea and creates a “room inside of a room” effect which gives the illusion of depth and perspective.


Sustainable and Green

This is not new but it will keep running… and stronger than before. Natural wood finishes are becoming increasingly popular as consumers look for products that have minimal environmental impact. At the same time, items made of vintage and recycled materials are small makeovers that achieve a biophilic interior design.


70
s Flashback

Among the earthy tones mentioned above, there is  brown, red and orange of terracotta. Remind you of vintage movie frames? Now also consider furniture with soft angles and curves, as well as low lighting with mushroom-type lamps. At the same time, in addition to wood, cork and the wicker element will contribute to sustainable decoration this year. The 70s will return this year and will radiate warmth and comfort.


Personality Display

Antiques, paintings, statement pieces, books and albums, sculptures and records, are being displayed this year for everyone to admire, ask and learn about. It is all about sharing your cherished interests, giving a pragmatic glimpse of your personality to the world. Your house is not just cement. It has a soul and most of the time it resembles yours.


What we will not be seeing:

 This year we are saying farewell (and please don’t come back) to:

 

What are we left with this year? 2023 is the year we take a deep breath in and out. The statement of serenity, calmness, wellness and openness is pretty clear and will definitely be reflected to many homes.
