Interior design trends in 2023 are sure to support multifunctional homes.
Bespoke interiors will cater to everyday activities as well as entertainment and exercise. They bridge the gap created by situational isolation. As a result, the numbers of luxe movie and game rooms, gyms, and saunas are sure to grow.

No room is left untouched. Designers and homemakers have a heightened focus on creating homes that serve the inhabitants. That’s why every inch matters. Mudrooms and laundry rooms will get the designer treatment. As a result, homes will have the same air throughout, from the entryway to the most utilitarian of spaces. 2023’s interior design trends will certainly grace all corners of an interior.
6. Maximize Natural LightModern open living interior design trends of 2023 by Decorilla designer, Joyce R.
The more we know what benefits human functioning, the more we’ll see those elements in interiors – where possible.
Natural light is one aspect magnified in current and coming designs. There’s a renewed focus on maximizing natural light with big, bare windows, whites, and reflective surfaces. And why not? Natural light can improve our sleep patterns, focus, and mood. Plus, it helps us produce vitamin D!

The coming year promises soft edges, dramatic accents, and comfortable pieces. Whatever your style, home décor trends are sure to make interiors even cozier in 2023.
7. Return to NoirAs spaces become more personalized and character-rich, we are encouraged to indulge in what design offers. Gothic design is one such tempting avenue. They are undeniably dramatic. But they also happen to be richly layered and fascinating. Plus, a gothic style brings more than dark hues. Sweeping curtains, arch mirrors, sculptures, and lavish chandeliers are commonplace.
And with a contemporary twist, such interiors can be both memorable and highly livable. The great thing is that you can add as much or as little drama as you want. Either way, there will be an impact – with or without black.
8. Nostalgia-InfusedPoetic interior featuring top interior design trends 0f 2023 by Decorilla designer, Lori D.
Interior design can bring comfort and coziness, unlike most. It can also conjure a sense of nostalgia. In 2022 we saw a wave of Coastal Grandma wash over interior design. All owing to the wonderfully tender feelings Nancy Meyer movies evoke. Similarly, the interior design and color trends of 2023 will play on nostalgia to conjure a pleasant, quaint air. Pastoral patterns and bucolic artwork are sure to add a poetic touch to interiors.
9. Yes to CurvesCurved furniture home decor trends 0f 2023 by Decorilla designer, Vida N.
Arcs and rounded shapes have been making their way into interiors for a while now.
Crescent sofas, tulip and egg chairs, and circular rugs took centerstage bit by bit. Now, 2023 home décor trends are moving on. Say hello to oblong mirrors, architectural details, and mushroom lighting. Cabinets, credenzas, and nightstands also have a curvier outlook for the future.
Since the Renaissance, niches and alcoves were great for highlighting artwork, especially sculptures. However, these spaces turned into dust collectors as centuries ticked on. It’s no surprise that most modern-era buildings forewent their inclusion, but times are changing.
Nowadays, these unique architectural features are regaining traction. Plus, alcoves and niches can do more than showcase pretty décor. They become corners of function. They can be space-saving, add visual interest, or create a zen nook. Whatever their size, these snug spaces will emphasize décor and furniture within.
11. Oversized PendantsHome décor trends 2023 in dining room by Decorilla designer, Drew F.
Experimenting with size, scale, and proportion can bring the most attractive results. Whether intentional or not, designers stumbled on creating oversized lights, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Not only does boldly sized lighting grab anyone’s attention, but they look exquisite in a similarly proportioned setting. After all, the result should give many interiors a designer edge in the coming years.
12. Perfect ImperfectionsWhen it comes to 2023 home decor trends, organic, handmade, and local are best. What this means for aesthetics is more unique and inimitable pieces. Raw yet refined quality is what the future of décor holds. Exquisite craft and vision will set décor and furniture apart as covetable and trendy.

A few newcomers but also trusty favorites are sure to make the top interior design color trends for 2023.

Earthy and neutral. The warm but gentle gold will introduce a more organic version of sparkly metallics. It’s inspired by the richness of a golden hue as well as the groundedness of the sometimes sandy tone. Moreover, it resembles a desert’s beautiful landscapes at sunset. As such, it will fit any desert-modern aesthetic. It’ll also be a welcome alternative for, and complement to, traditional neutrals.
14. Outdoor-InspiredNatural interior design color trends 2023 by Decorilla designer, Darya N.
As green design grows, interiors are moving away from colors that feel too artificial. Hues are becoming gentler and easier on the eye. As a result, interiors flow seamlessly from and to their outer surroundings.
Interior design trends of 2023 and years to come will certainly see many more outdoor-indoor blends.
Calming interior design color trends for 2023 by Decorilla designer, Erin R.
Interior design color trends for 2023 are tranquil, without a doubt. Calming blue will make its way to interiors through a turquoise-like hue, Tranquil Blue. The soothing nature of the cool tone makes it great for spaces of serenity and calm. Studies, home offices, and meditation rooms are sure to splash out.
16. Hybrid Blue-GreenGreen interior design color trends 2023 by Decorilla
Verdigris, Pantone’s teal-like hue, promises to rejuvenate interiors in the coming years. The name comes from pigments that form patina on copper. It’s a slight move from rich, true greens like emerald and basil, but just as ethereal. Besides, the green-blue blend brings the best of sea and land to spaces that need to foster focus or upliftment.

Pantone’s color of the year may have a futuristic moniker, but it’s surprisingly approachable. Digital Lavender is a gentle purple pastel sure to invite freshness into any interior. It’ll be versatile too. The muted hue can also make 2023 home decor trends pop in an otherwise neutral setting. Additionally, it could be the main player in a boudoir as a wall color or bedsheets.
18. Tiered MonochromeInterior design color trends 2023 by Decorilla designer, Marine H.
Keeping furniture and décor muted will also define memorable spaces. A monochromatic interior could be in any one hue. It can feature slightly different shades of the main color, while textures and shapes create a visually interesting space. Tiered monochrome generates a peaceful and steady atmosphere.
Green Interior Design Trends 20232023’s eco-friendly interior design trends by Decorilla designer, Sonia C.
So many interior design trends of 2023 fall under sustainable or wellness interior design, which is why they need a section of their own. Unlike trends on their way out, these eco-friendly looks are sure to stay fresh for many years.
19. From Outside InSimilar to how the outdoors influence indoor color palettes of the future, furniture design also reflects its setting. A building’s location, whether mountainous or arid, impacts its interior more than ever. Local products can dictate, in some part, the look and feel of furniture, decor and, ultimately, an interior.
Wool, sheepskin, and wood, for instance, are readily available in a snowy environment. On the other hand, they won’t be as easy to find in the tropics. Many materials, from stone to fabrics, also are naturally more available in one area than in another. As a result, when people source locally and honor their natural environment, the interior is bound to follow.
20.
Wellness Flow Interior design trends 2023 by Decorilla
A layout can make all the difference in an interior. Free flow movement is essential for a positive atmosphere. That’s why rethinking a room plan is crucial. Less is more, but not in a minimalistic sense. Instead, greater distance between zones and an improved traffic flow will get preference.
A positive layout is one of a number of interior design trends of 2023 influenced by the East. Feng shui, wabi-sabi, ikigai, and japandi aesthetics greatly impact interior design. Moreover, green practices also have roots in Asia.
21. Indoor GardeningBy now, we know and love plants in interiors, but what will this constant favorite hold for the future? As indoor-outdoor living gains traction, the boundaries between the two blur even more. This can mean wilder and larger scale indoor plants as well as rockeries or gardens incorporated in a building’s structure.
Redefined offices are sure to enjoy this trend too.
Sustainable, recycled, and ethical are hot topics in every avenue of life, and 2023 home décor trends follow suit. Each year more homemakers and business owners learn about sustainable practices and what to opt for when it comes to the health of the planet.
As a result, trendy interiors look and feel different from those of the past. We’ll see an increase in green materials and organic surfaces in upcoming designs, from residential to commercial.
23. Purity in Interior DesignGreen home decor trends 2023 by Decorilla designer, Shasta P.
Placing more importance on sourcing and reusing what already exists is refining the shape of designs. More specifically, natural, clean lines will take precedence over more intricate alternatives. This, in turn, will also emphasize whatever ornamentation or detail exists within an interior.
There is certainly balance in 2023 interior design trends as some lean to decoration while others to neat aesthetics.
It’s one thing to admire tomorrow’s trends and another to incorporate them in a way that makes sense. Luckily, our talented designers can help you create a timeless interior. Schedule a Free Interior Design Consultation to find out more!

7 Big Décor Trends Defining Interior Design in 2023
One takeaway we’ve gotten from the past few years is to never underestimate the power of a good space. The difference between a good day and a mediocre day can be as small as the endorphins you get from a fanciful rug or a vivid coat of paint. But what makes a space truly sing? Of course, that answer relies partly on personal taste, but it also helps to look into the sea of interior trends for some guidance.
If you have opened any social media app over the past two years, you’ve probably scrolled past enough abstract mirrors and checkered rugs to last a lifetime, but as of the last few months, the tides are changing. While interior trends don’t circulate at such a rapid-fire pace as the fashion showing on the runways, the two worlds inform each other in unexpected ways—take Barbiecore and the resurgence of pink walls. But the popularity of pink is only a drop in the proverbial bucket of ideas gaining traction among the design community right now. For a glimpse into what’s next, we turned to four figures well-versed in both interior design and fashion to tell us the home décor themes, concepts, and objects primed for a big moment in 2023.

Whether the intent was to be noncommittal to one paint color or to avoid the nightmarish scenario of wallpaper application, white became the wall “color” of choice for many renters and homeowners.
But according to Tiffany Howell, founder and principal designer of L.A.-based interior design studio Night Palm, the white-wall era is reaching its expiration date. “A lot of people really want jewel tones. Almost every client that we’re working with right now wants beautiful colors, like rust and green—colors that are very soothing but not like how it used to be where you immediately defaulted to white,” she says. One of the most popular ways to interpret this trend has been two-toned cabinets—painting the upper and lower rows of cabinets in contrasting colors to create a striking visual effect. For those unafraid to go a more drastic route, interior designer and content creator Madelynn Furlong Hudson anticipates a lot more monochromatic coordination, where one room is entirely in one color. Although baby pink wall paint seems to have the internet buzzing (LPA founder Pia Baroncini recently painted most of her Los Angeles home in the color), the general consensus is that it doesn’t seem to matter which shade you choose.
However, if you need some suggestions, Furlong Hudson stands behind pale watery blue, while interior designer Athena Calderone, like Howell, cites green and terra-cotta as two standout tones.

Cancel the flight, and let the vacation come to you—at least, that’s the sentiment behind one interior concept that’s been catching on among particularly stylish people.
Instead of traveling abroad for a dose of escapism, it’s as easy as walking into a room. “All my clients that just bought homes are buying old Italian and European-looking villas here in Los Angeles. They’re like, ‘Ooh, I want my house to look like that villa in Italy I used to go to but haven’t been to because of COVID.’ So we’re all very much leaning into this right now, like Call Me by Your Name and Chateau Marmont—everyone wants those references,” explains Howell.
After nearly two years of travel being off the table, it’s understandable that a sense of wanderlust has entered the chat. Naturally, bright light, warm wood tones, and airy linen furniture help sell the vision of resort life, but Howell also notes that it’s just as important to capture the overall emotion within the design process. “I like to start with an emotional landscape and then lean into it,” she says. While it helps to have the good bones of a Spanish-style villa, buying a house isn’t necessary to achieve a personal worldly oasis—it can be as simple as swapping out heavy drapes for breezy linen curtains or decorating shelves with objects from abroad, like this stunning candelabra Furlong Hudson recently picked up Mexico City.

From travertine sinks to marble backsplashes, stone has proven itself as a hot commodity. Howell, Furlong Hudson, and Calderone all predict it’ll be a recurring theme into next year, with extra emphasis on using the raw material in unexpected tones and in unexpected ways. Instead of opting for beige travertine, Hudson notes that red variations are popping up as an accent color.
“It’s about artful marble. But now we’re finding tones of beautiful pinks and deep blues and, again, kind of going back to the jewel tones too, like deep-green marble,” says Howell. Calderone’s most recent venture—a collaboration with Crate and Barrel—is an accessible way to embrace the trend, with objects like coral-colored marble serving platters and a deep-red plinth that can be used as a side table or nightstand. Another side to the statement stone trend is the use of exotic slabs of marble, granite, and soapstone to create commanding pieces that serve as the centerpiece of a room. Think a huge marble accent wall or soapstone countertops that extend into a visually stunning backsplash. These interior moments are an opportunity to let the full glory of the stone shine through. As Howell points out, “We’re doing baths in it. We’re fabricating tables in it. It’s a luxury well spent. It can stand alone and be its own art piece. If you have a beautiful marble table in a room, everyone’s just gonna focus on that and be obsessed with that.

Nostalgia always has a commanding presence in design—at any given moment, a particular decade has a firm grasp over the industry. A few years ago, it was mid-century modern, and until last year, postmodernism’s ’80s pop-art influence triggered renewed interest in Ettore Sottsass Ultrafragola mirrors and Kartell stools.
Next up? The warm-toned, low-slung aesthetic of the ’70s. The online marketplace 1stDibs, which carries luxury and vintage furniture, reported that vintage pieces from the ’70s experienced the highest growth year over year within the furniture market. Rare finds from the decade represent the pieces Night Palm clients request most. “Definitely a hundred percent would be ’70s, European-style vintage furniture,” says Howell. Kellie Brown, a purveyor of vintage furniture who’s also a full-time content creator, knows to thrift one-of-a-kind pieces most people would think impossible. She’s been able to source coveted finds from the depths of Facebook Marketplace and Instagram, but two design icons from the ’70s are at the top of her vintage wish list. “The pieces I NEED to own with my entire soul are a leather convertible sleeper sofa by De Sede or an Alessandro Becchi sofa bed,” Brown says. She also finds a lot of her current inspiration from old design books from the era.

Along with the pendulum swing toward vibrant colors are rich and sensory textures that are delightfully over-the-top. “A lot of people are really wanting jewel tones and very rich, luscious color,” Howell explains. “People really want romantic paint colors, textures, and shapes, for instance, curves rather than angular and straight lines.” There’s a reason sumptuous jewel tones and velvet flash across our brains when we think of nobility—they’ve historically signified material wealth and status. According to 1stDibs’ annual survey, which polled 750 interior designers from around the world, emerald green was the number one color of choice for designers this year, with cobalt also trending as a popular shade. As Howell explains, minimalist fatigue is partly to blame for a collective demand for unabashedly extravagant things that are the antithesis of quiet luxury.
The key mood, she says, is glamour. “It’s a really big word right now. I think people almost feel guilty about using the word glamour in this day and time, but I would say there is an excitement about glamorizing people’s houses.”

It takes one bad iPhone photo to realize how impactful bad lighting can be.
And before lamps and light fixtures are relegated as a finishing touch to a space, experts like Calderone and Howell argue that lighting should be at the forefront. “It sets the mood in more ways than one—both functional and decorative, it calibrates the vibe. A beautiful glow from a sculptural light can really make a space,” says Calderone. Like that expensive couch that centers a room, a statuesque lamp can equally ground a space and provide nuance. “Good lighting is the beautiful earrings of the home. You don’t need much—vintage light fixtures or sconces can immediately elevate a room. You might not even realize it, but lighting can truly affect your disposition,” Howell explains. And the options on the market are seemingly endless: From contemporary brutalist chandeliers to Danish-inspired wood lamps, they’ve all been favorites within design circles as of late, but soft, emotive lighting à la Noguchi’s famed paper lamps is most noticeable. “I went to Mexico City for the first time in December last year and visited several of Luis Barragán’s projects.
There was a space or table in every room of his private home that was draped in fabric and doubled as an altar. A couple of months later I noticed the same draping of fabric on the altar in so many of the ancient churches in Venice, and ever since then, I’ve been drawn to lighting, especially vintage, that is made from fabric or has that soft drapery that I was seeing in Barragán’s home and the ancient chapel in Venice,” Calderone recalls. “At Salone [the Milan Furniture Fair], Ladies & Gentlemen Studio showcased a pendant with layers of draped linen. There is something so moving about seeing glass elements that are cold and slick counterbalanced by this soft lighting draped in fabric, silk, or paper.”

While the home has always been a place of intimacy, Brown and Calderone say the New Year is about displaying off-beat touches that showcase our inner selves.
“I’m excited about individuality. Cookie cutter is never interesting,” says Brown. “Creating a space you’re happy with is all that matters.” What individuality looks like in a space is up to interpretation, but an unconventional wall treatment is one way to do it. “I’ve noticed a lot of people draping fabric on the walls and actually using it as a decorative treatment, accentuating the drapiness and softness. People are starting to embrace something that feels whimsical and softer,” says Calderone.
Interior design trends — 2023
We tell you what finishes, furniture and decor in apartments will be relevant next year
Photo: Followtheflow\shutterstock
In 2023, retro items, smart furniture and natural materials will remain in trend.
However, the ascetic minimalism, beloved by many, will be replaced by theatricality and even chaos in apartments.
Designers told what trends in interior design will be relevant in 2023.
Art in the home
www.adv.rbc.ru
One of the main trends in the interior, which will be especially relevant next year, is the desire to create something like a gallery, the designers say.
“Increasingly, space is being prepared in advance for the appearance of art elements: sculpture, painting, photography, ceramics, graphics of various formats, antiques, from chairs and armchairs to coat hooks, coffee and coffee tables, custom-made carpets. And this trend is not limited to items. Wall painting and table setting can also be called art in the interior. Today it is important for people to express their thoughts and emotions through creativity,” said Evgeny Nedoborov, founder of INRE Design Studio.
In addition to murals, various prints and patterns that can decorate wallpaper, tiles or textiles in an apartment will be relevant, Stepan Bugaev, founder of Tochka Design studio, noted.
He also noted that already now the most fashionable interiors are decorated with retro-furniture, and next year this trend will strengthen. “It is worth noting that rounded cabinets, tables and chairs will also be relevant in 2023. In addition, you should pay attention to furniture with unusual curves,” the expert noted.

Non-conformism with a theatrical character
Minimalism is being replaced by non-conformism with a theatrical character, which gives homeowners the freedom to create interiors, the opportunity to reflect their personal philosophy.
“This is a bold departure from the usual framework, a violation of the generally accepted rules of composition. Did you expect completeness, symmetry? Perhaps you want to understand what style is in front of you? Will not work. Here it's the other way around. The interior conveys an atmosphere of incompleteness, incompleteness and a kind of creative chaos. As if it was unfinished, underpainted, underfilled.
Against this background, restored elegant furniture, vintage light feel great. Together, this determines its unique chic. Here, incongruous things create an overall balanced scene in which there is no sense of disharmony,” said Inna Kaminskaya, founder of the Grande Familia (iRoomproject) studio.
Such interiors are unique and individual, and every detail in them has its own interesting history, Kaminskaya specified.

Tactility and natural texture
Previously, interiors were often made "dry" and soulless - they looked good in the photo, but it was not very comfortable to live in them. Today, a vector is visible when severe minimalism is moving towards spirituality and life, the designers say. “Increasingly, people think about tactility, expressive and natural texture. The design is created on the principle of "untouched by human hand". Natural materials are used in the decoration, for example, wild stone - chipped, unhewn, unpolished.
The parquet board is more often chosen in natural shades. The interior today brings a person closer to nature and enlivens his living environment,” said the founder of INRE Design.
Organics in the design of apartments and houses is only becoming more popular, emphasized Bugaev. He advised using as much wool, cotton, velvet, clay, and ceramics as possible when lining walls or upholstering furniture. “Today, fine manufactory handiwork is also gaining special value. Such a design is always carefully thought out and conveys a special energy to its owner. Luxury and natural simplicity in one bundle will make the house warm, calm and cozy,” says Kaminskaya.

Spice colors
In 2023, warm colors with brown and pink tones will be the most relevant. They will look great against the background of a white or black base of walls, floors and ceilings, they will set a thoughtful depth and layering, the founder of the Grande Familia studio is convinced.
“Surely, many of you have seen the malls, strewn with dishes with all kinds of bright spices, they have vibrant natural colors and shades. It is they who set the motives for the color trends of 2023. White pepper, Himalayan pink salt, ground paprika, turmeric, opal basil, cinnamon, oregano or nutmeg… The most important thing is not to be afraid to experiment,” says Kaminskaya.
Natural materials such as jute, rattan, cattail and reed weave work perfectly with this palette of colors, the designer specified. According to her, finishing materials in casual style, raw surfaces, rough and textured fabrics will also remain in the trend.

Blind spots and smart objects
Another trend that is gaining momentum is functional spaces that are invisible at the entrance to the apartment. “People are willing to pay for their comfort and functionality in the house. The trend to “surprise your neighbor” has gone, when money was spent only on those rooms where guests came, and it was possible to save money on intimate places (dressing rooms, laundry rooms).
Nowadays, customers are increasingly making the interior for themselves. Every detail in the house is important: where we go, where we sleep, where we wash, where we store things,” said Nedoborov.
Blind spots — laundry rooms, pantries, utility cabinets — are no longer closed to the eye, they are made functional and thought out according to the smart home system, the designer noted. “Indeed, despite the relevance of retro and art, smart items will only gain popularity, because technology does not stand still. Cabinets and tables with built-in speakers and chargers have become especially relevant today,” Bugaev summed up.

current trends in the design world
New trends in apartment interior design appear almost every year, and 2023 is no exception. Many trends have already been laid in the current year, while others are only expected. We propose to talk about both global and minor changes that will affect interior design in 2023.
Green trend continues
As in the current year, sustainability will remain one of the main trends in apartment design in 2023. The trend for naturalness is not new, but every year it becomes more and more in demand, due to global processes.
In the era of consumption, people strive to make it more rational and conscious. This explains the popularity of recycled furniture, the demand for natural materials and clean raw materials produced by companies with sustainable production.
As in the current year, glass, wood and stone will be valued in 2023. This is because they are environmentally friendly and easily adapt to different styles. It is also expected that more and more accessories made from organic fabrics, recycled materials or sustainable fibers will be used in the design. This is because in 2023 the theme of nature in the interior will be closely connected not only with reasonable consumption, but also with health and the use of organic materials: wool, cotton, clay, wood, ceramics.
Trendy interiors with natural materials
Based on the environmental trend in apartment interior design, it is easy to conclude that the trend will be natural materials. As mentioned above, it will be glass, wood, stone. Marble will gain particular popularity: black, gray, blue, pink with large expressive veins. Marble can be used in flooring, countertops, window sills, fireplace portals. In 2023, this material is moving from accent to main, so it can be used in larger quantities.
Natural wood will be in demand in furniture, especially walnut, oak, teak, ash. And natural, that is, with knots and cracks. Wood is perfectly combined with gray concrete, helping to create warmth and comfort. In furniture upholstery, exquisite velvet becomes a trendy material, attracting attention with richness of shades, grandiose tints and some theatricality.
The leather, which gives a discreetly elegant effect, is not inferior to positions. Leather looks good in combination with marble and gilded motifs, which were previously used very metered, but in the design of apartments 2022-2023 they sounded and will continue to sound especially strong.
In general, the radiance of metal is also in trend. You can use lampshades with a chrome-plated mirror surface, brass and gold-plated fittings.
The trend will be the abundance of transparent glass, which has quietly risen to the peak of popularity. The material fills the rooms with light and air. In the interior of glass there can be lamps, vases, dishes, as well as shelves, racks and interior partitions. Matte glass cat tables and large panoramic windows are actively used.
The authenticity trend is gaining momentum
Apartment design in 2023 will move further and further away from asceticism. This does not mean that excesses will come back into fashion - remember the trend for environmental friendliness and naturalness.
The departure from asceticism will consist in the transition to authenticity. In the interior, objects dear to the heart, such as the grandmother's chest of drawers, are beginning to be appreciated, which were given a new life due to restoration.
The design can be supplemented with unique art objects, non-standard lamps, consoles and other items that have their own history and last for many years.
This is an interesting solution, not at all similar to the usual use of antiques in the interior. Fashion trends in apartment design really give one more chance to outdated at first glance furniture, fittings, details, but they are combined with quite modern, and not just antique furnishings. For example, with smart items, whether it's a bedside table with a speaker inside, SMART glass or built-in wireless charging.
In authenticity, there is again a trend towards sustainability, because by choosing things that are passed down from generation to generation, a person solves the problem of overconsumption and makes his contribution to caring for the planet. Namely, this is gradually becoming a priority for the whole world, which inevitably affects interior design.
Nostalgia never goes away
Authenticity is closely related to another growing trend in apartment design.
We are talking about the so-called retro, the nostalgia for which has not gone anywhere. “Old” patterns and knitted textiles are added to the interior, and blue, blue, turquoise and earthy shades are chosen from the colors. There is a growing demand for old rounded furniture. In addition to the authentic grandmother's dresser, it's time to get chairs, a sofa, tables and introduce them into modern design styles.
Trendy colors and prints
Speaking of apartment design trends for 2023, one cannot but mention the color scheme. In this matter, the interior will be minimalistic - no more than 2-3 shades. But at the same time, colors can be saturated and unusual. Increasingly, there is a shade of "spicy honey", which can take on a sandy, woody or amber tone. Among the contrasting combinations, the combination of white and brown comes to the fore.
Intense blue is gaining popularity, complemented by white and gold or black and white accents. Yellow-cream, muted mint, gray-green and warm gray colors can be added to the same list.
