If you’re wondering what living room color trends will be big for 2023, read on. Unsurprisingly, after the events of the last two years, we’re leaning more and more towards uplifting and invigorating shades, whether that’s a playful palette of candy colors or grounding hues drawn from nature.

Feeling freer – and less wedded to classic neutrals such as greys and off-whites – we expect to see a rise in warmer, more cocooning colors such as deep browns and coffee-tinged creams, as well as earthy reds and terracotta tones. Nature is still an unwavering source of inspiration for interior design trends, albeit in richer, bolder hues. Meanwhile wellbeing remains a priority, with greens of all shades standing in for neutrals, and stronger blues acting as a calming presence in our living spaces.  

In keeping with an optimistic outlook and an expressive approach, pastels look set to grow in popularity, particularly in muted – and perhaps more timeless versions – such as powdery purples, muddy pinks and desaturated yellows. At the other end of the scale, refreshing brights will breathe new life into our homes. 

‘At the moment, it’s all about breaking the rules, and doing it with conviction,’ explains Australian interior designer Simone Haag. ‘The palettes in our homes have broadened to encompass combinations one might previously have assumed wouldn't work. We’ve included some great color combinations in projects lately, such as emerald and navy, or lilac and mustard,’ she continues. ‘And I’ve seen some amazing projects using tones of turquoise recently. I think this will be a hot color coming through next year.'

10 LIVING ROOM COLOR TRENDS FOR 2023

1. RICH NEUTRALS

'Rich brown hues, soft creamy shades and greenish-grey details create a sophisticated and soothing space, and I think we will see more of these deeper neutral colors in 2023,' says Knut Bendik Humlevik, creative director at New Works.  

The Danish brand's ethos centers around natural materials, tactile textures and restrained color palettes, which is reflected in their designs, as well as in the settings they create. Its the height of current living room trends. 'These colors offer the perfect frame for artisanal pieces, inviting you to dwell on details and qualities. When combined with textured textiles, it results in a room surrounds you with warmth.'

2. GREEN AND BLUE

Tiffany Duggan, Studio Duggan's founder and creative director, agrees with the above color trends. 'I think nature-inspired hues, alongside rich browns and pale creams, will dominate color choices in 2023,' she says. 

'I’m really into fresh and invigorating blues and greens at the moment and they work surprisingly well together.' Tiffany recommends offsetting these cool-toned hues with warmer tones such as a dirty pink or warm caramel, as illustrated by this view through the doorway of a living space the studio designed for a recent London project.  

3. MUTED PASTELS

Cheerful and reassuring, pastel colors will continue to pop up in living spaces throughout 2023 - we're seeing them in bedroom trends too, unsurprisingly. If a palette of sugary shades feel a little outside of your comfort zone, why not look to muted, more 'grown-up' alternatives instead? 

This space, which is the work of Swedish design studio Note, combines enduring heritage colors that nod to the original features found in this 19th-century building. 'We devised an 8-tone color scale to complement the bright yellow paint we discovered on a door frame,' say the designers. 'The result is a harmonious but rich color experience inspired by the apartment's original splendor, which turned a white office space into a contemporary home.'

4. COORDINATING WOODWORK

'We're seeing a move away from white woodwork and skirting, with more people choosing to incorporate it into their design scheme,' says Ruth Mottershead, creative director at Little Greene.  When it comes to how to pick a living room color scheme, Ruth recommends replacing bright white woodwork with softer hues, such as stone grey, rich green or deep brown. Alternatively, choosing a bold highlight color that contrasts with your wallpaper pattern is a big part of next year's wallpaper trends.

'Blacks and dark greys also work fantastically well on woodwork and skirting,' she continues. 'Pair a dark hue such as ‘Lamp Black‘ with the delicate and pretty 'Massingberd Blossom' wallpaper in grey for a modern twist on a traditional wallpaper.'

5. COOL AND WARM

Looking for a way update a pink-walled living space? Consider a splash of 2023's 'it' color for paint trends: lavender. Collective Works partner Siri Zanelli collaborated with Koi Color Studio's Dagny Thurmann Moe on the scheme for this Victorian home. 

'The subtle pink-and-beige combination on walls and historic features makes the north-facing living room warm, and the contrasting cool-toned sash window creates enough complexity to make the interior exciting,' explains Siri, who used Pure & Original paint throughout the house. 'Mixing cool and warm tones in the same room requires skill, and needs to be composed alongside the rest of the material palette. Timber is, in many ways, a neutral that can be used safely in any color combination,' the architect advises.  

6. UPLIFTING ORANGE

Whether zesty and energizing or in more muted, terracotta tones, orange looks set to continue its comeback in 2023. Choose softer shades for a more subtle approach, or go bolder for a nostalgic nod to 70s style.

We love how this orange B&B Italia Tufty-Too sofa defines the living area at Dun Aluinn, a beautifully designed destination in the Scottish Highlands that spearheads current sofa trends. 'I took cues from the landscape: predominantly the burnt orange heather hills of winter, as well as the warm yellow glow from the sun setting through the adjacent window each evening,' says architect Susie Whyte. 'I was adamant about changing up the traditional Victorian interior, and this sofa seemed like the answer. '

This stellar sofa comes in a variety of different colors. Not so keen on orange? Try grey. Or red. Or black. Or cream....

7. SPICE-INSPIRED SHADES

In line with a steady resurgence in bold, spicy colors, de Le Cuona's new Terra Firma fabric collection includes names such as 'Peppercorn' and 'Mustard', and features a strong, earthy aesthetic. 'Nurturing neutral shades sit alongside the warmth of mud brown and hot shots of terra rossa,' say the collection's designers of the distinctive scheme, a line that could also apply to next year's carpet trends.

For this space, interior stylist Alex Kristal chose a limewash paint by Bauwerk in 'Clove'. 'The rich, brownish red completes the autumnal palette, complementing the textures of the natural yarns, cork daybed and coffee table made from salvaged oak sleepers,' she explains.  

8. RESTFUL BLUES

(Image credit: Farrow & Ball)

'The renaissance of dark colors continues with gusto and will carry on into our decorating repertoire through 2023 and beyond,' says Farrow & Ball's color consultant Patrick O’Donnell. 'Have we become more brave? Or do we understand that dark colors are often an appropriate proposition for poorly lit spaces?,' he muses.

Whatever the reason, Patrick notes that people are leaning more towards the darker end of the blue palette - primarily because there are a lot of fantastic colors that go with blue. 'Dark blue effortlessly teams with a multitude of colors to create striking living spaces, from cool, architectural greys to bold pinks, tobacco tones and jeweled greens like emerald & malachite.' The room above features a color called Wine Dark from Farrow & Ball's latest collection. 'Inspired by midnight skies, this spiritual shade is perfect for creating an intimate space,' say its creators.

One of the brand new colors from Farrow and Ball, Wine Dark is a standout, and not just for its evocative name. Ideal for creating a sophisticated space.

9. PALE PURPLE

Trend forecasting authority WGSN, in collaboration with Coloro, named Digital Lavender their color of the year for 2023, so expect to see more variants of this soothing shade infiltrating fashion and interiors.

If you're keen on pale purple, but not quite sure how to make it work in your living space, take inspiration from this sophisticated example by Simone Haag. The Australian interior designer chose a chalky purple hue for the walls of this creative agency breakout area, which provides a contemporary backdrop for a carefully chosen collection of monochrome furniture, objets and art. It's also a soft shade for a functional space, meaning we expect it to be big in kitchen trends.

10. GROUNDING GREEN

'There is something especially beautiful about colors you can't describe in a single word,' says Studio Kaya founder Deniz Bayern. 'Castle Grey from Farrow & Ball , which I used in my living room, is one of them. It changes throughout the day from a blueish grey to a deep, muddy green depending on the light.' We're pretty sure you can expect to see more of these moody greens about in 2023, as well as shades at the opposite end of the spectrum, like pale sage and pistachio. 

'Other than deep greens, greyish browns and tones of terracotta are my current favorites,' Deniz adds. 'I recently noticed that the poles on the Bakerloo line are a great shade of warm, reddish brown. I think I'll try to get it matched at the local paint store.'

Castle Grey by Farrow and Ball

Castle Grey has been archived by Farrow and Ball, meaning it's off the main paint chart but not off the market. Those in the know can still ask for it and buy it online - a delicious prospect as this means you won't see it in every home.

1

Citrus

Jean Randazzo

"Small shots of big citrus bring excitement to a space without creating visual overwhelm. It’s like a punchy-colored throw pillow for the wall. When used in a specific area of wall, it defines a space and everything looks good against this yellow green. Even beige!" — Jackie Terrell, Interior Designer

2

Rust

Miranda Estes

"Blush really had its moment in 2022, but rust may be poised to take over. It's less feminine feeling and plays into an earthy modern color palette, making a beautiful companion to Dijon yellows, teals and greens." — Amy Vroom, Founder, The Residency Bureau

3

Monochromatic Looks

Ryan Garvin

"Using the exact same color in the same finish to walls, trim and ceiling lets you keep the traditional details like crown molding while giving it an instant modern update. Going all in makes rooms feel dramatic, warm and welcoming all at once. A satin finish is the best option for this approach. It’s not as shiny as semi-gloss, but it has a little bit of sheen without being shiny." — Mary Beth Christopher, Founder and Lead Designer, MBC Interior Design

4

Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue

Hayward Photography

"Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue is one of our favorite, go-to colors. It’s not too blue and not too green, rather the perfect marriage of both. When used on a porch, it blurs the lines between the outside and inside. Earthy, natural inspiration in design is absolutely trending right now, and will continue to become more prevalent in 2023. Palladian Blue brings lots of earthy greens into undertones into a space, making it a likely candidate to be a trending paint color in the new year." — Jillian Shaible, Principal, Susan Hayward Interiors

5

Black

Adam Macchia

"My ultimate favorite black has as much to do with the sheen as it does with the color: Fine Paints of Europe's HollandLac in black is the ultimate for glossy black doors. I've used this on most of my own homes (and a few for clients). It requires an expert application, but the results are sublime; glossy to the point of reflection, this paint finishes like black glass. " — Dan Mazzarini, Principal and Creative Director, BHDM Design

6

Soft Blush

Katarzyna BialasiewiczGetty Images

"Pairing pink with various hues is a trend we’re seeing a lot. From soft pale blushes to shocking magenta, it’s an exciting accent to go along with everything from deep blues to light neutrals." — Noel Gatts, Star of HGTV’s Home Inspector Joe; Principal Designer, Beam & Bloom Interiors

7

Sherwin-Williams' Eider White

Danielle Nicole Photography

"This color is often used for walls, but it is the new hot trend for stepping up your classic white kitchen cabinet. Not only is it warmer and richer, but it has a subtle contrast with the ever-so-popular white countertops." — Megan Unger, Owner and Creative Director, Megan Robertson’s Designs

8

Benjamin Moore's Gentleman's Gray

"Striking paint colors, like Benjamin Moore's Gentleman's Gray, are a great way to add interest and depth to any space. " — Molly Torres Portnof, Founder, DATE Interiors

9

Plum

Lauren Pressey

"Plum is becoming the new neutral. The richer tones are being used to blend in with neutral spaces to make it feel warm, cozy and luxe." — Linda Hayslett, Founder, LH.Designs

10

Ultramarine Blue

Virginia Macdonald

"Ultramarine blue will be the trending color for the upcoming year. It is a bright, super saturated and luscious hue." — Anne Hepfer, Luxury Interior Designer and Author of MOOD

11

Benjamin Moore's Mt. Rainier Gray

Jacarrea Garraway

"Benjamin Moore’s Mt. Rainier Gray in Matte Regal Select resembles the sky and provides a space with a sense of calm, which is vital as the world around us continues to change. Mt. Rainier Gray is an ideal backdrop for any style that sparks joy in one’s life." — Courtney McLeod, Principal, Right Meets Left Interior Design

12

Glidden's Vining Ivy

Courtesy of Gil Walsh Interiors

"Glidden's Vining Ivy is an update on teal that is as bold as it is versatile. Sitting perfectly between a blue and a green, Vining Ivy toes the line between a jewel tone and a deep sea hue, making it an on-trend addition to contemporary designs or a refined pop of color for those with more traditional taste." — Gil Walsh, Principal, Gil Walsh Interiors

13

Benjamin Moore's 2023 Color of the Year: Raspberry Blush

Courtesy of Benjamin Moore

"People are ready to bring color back into the home, taking a step outside their color comfort zones. Raspberry Blush 2008-30 and the Color Trends 2023 palette empower the use of statement colors that deliver delight and personality, while transforming rooms for incredible results." — Andrea Magno, Color Marketing & Development Director, Benjamin Moore

14

Behr's 2023 Color of the Year: Blank Canvas

"Blank Canvas effortlessly offers a clean and inviting blank slate that allows individuality and creativity to flow freely. This white easily harmonizes with a wide range of hues, including neutrals, earth tones and pastels for a charming and cozy appeal. Blank Canvas also pairs beautifully with black for a dramatic impact, and with bright accents like green or cobalt blue to instantly lift your mood." — Erika Woelfel, Vice President of Color and Creative Services, Behr Paint Company

Even small golden elements give the room features of well-being and nobility. Chocolate, red, turquoise, orange tones are organically located in the neighborhood. A combination of gold with a velvety black color scheme is considered an aristocratic option.

The principle of selecting shades in the interior 2023

The dominant design principle is based on the following ratios:

The search for color solutions is intended to solve not only the task of approaching fashion trends. It is important for each person to express their own preferences and create an atmosphere of comfort and coziness while observing the norms of aesthetics and harmony.

Modern interior often involves an organic combination of color elements typical of different styles. The subsequent operations practiced in the improvement of any premises depend on this, for example:

  1. Layout with installation of partitions, coordinated transfer of walls;
  2. Zoning of the surrounding space by different methods;
  3. Selection of furniture, decoration, lighting, textiles.

The variant of decorating a room in one particular style is gradually going out of fashion. Designers prefer projects with an organic combination of elements from different stylistic trends.

With proper selection of all the components of the interior, it is possible to obtain a comfortable space that reflects the personal preferences of the household, with thoughtful functionality. nine0003

Trends in the selection of color solutions for exclusive interiors 2023

Creation of unique interiors is based on introducing aesthetics, pragmatic component, lightness and environmental safety into the space. Trendy colors in the interior of 2023 and some design tricks are becoming a reference point:

Urbanism allows you to combine different styles, organizing an unusual, but very cozy space without any special restrictions. Funny posters can be placed on the walls, the cast-iron base of the static table perfectly coexists with an elegant bright armchair.

Trendy color shades 2023 in furniture

Modern living rooms acquire an atmosphere of comfort thanks to furniture made from natural materials. Elegant wicker and wooden furniture sets will be fashionable in 2023. The color scheme in the selection of furniture involves a variety of variations. nine0003

Leather in a respectable chestnut or luxurious golden hue will dominate next season not only in the role of furnishing. Increasingly, designers are using leather panels in the design of walls and floors.

Balancing elegant steel tones continue to attract the attention of designers when decorating various furniture planes. The popularity of polished nickel, darkened steel, noble silver, brass is increasing. Iron does not lose its leading position, white alloys are increasingly common. When used in the living room, elements made of bronze with a golden brown tint achieve an exquisitely luxurious atmosphere. nine0009


Along with the dominance of restrained colors on furniture surfaces, bright ornaments with certain ethnic features are popular. Juicy yellow, crimson, blue notes bring dynamism, festivity. In such an interior it is pleasant to be after a busy day of work.

Trendy color range 2023 for a modern interior

Analyzing the emerging style and color preferences, it can be noted that the following options will be popular in 2023:

  1. Combination of various concentrations of graphite, light grey, white with accent splashes from the list of bright colors. This option in any situation is different win-win. The calm atmosphere set by the basic background allows you to relieve stress and relax.
  2. Use for interior decoration of any functional pastel palette from lightened sand color to a pronounced cream shade. For example: any shade of a universal sand color (straw, golden sand, beige khaki, etc.) easily gets along next to all, even very saturated colors. The elegant sound of the sand palette looks noble, restrained and cozy. nine0077
  3. Cream tone, which is preferred by people who value classics, comfort, balance, can dominate the space, but will require darker neighboring accents, such as bronze or chestnut.
  4. Application of refreshing tones of natural greenery. Delicate light green, mint, malachite varieties, as well as dark turquoise, olive tones remain relevant.

When properly distributed over surfaces, cornflower blue, azure, heavenly, turquoise colors create an atmosphere of creativity, tranquility, security, relaxation, and trust in the surrounding space.

Priority directions for 2023 in interior color design

Indoor color schemes perform not only the function of designing and decorating various surfaces. With the help of the rational use of the diversity of the color palette, designers successfully solve other problems. nine0003

Zoning

A well-designed visual division of space into functional areas is one of the main trends of the 2023 season. Using a combination of well-matched shades, you can highlight a work area, a fireplace area, a relaxation area, a place for children's activities or placement of flowering plants in the room. In the kitchen, it is easy to visually separate the dining and working areas.


Different techniques are used for zoning. You can paint the surfaces of the walls by choosing different colors. An interesting effect is obtained if the floor or even the ceiling surface is decorated with materials of different tone. nine0003

Complex interior

The current trend in interior design solutions for the 2023 season is the organic integration of working and functional areas into living spaces. The interior becomes complex, which saves space and creates an orderly appearance of the room. The base background is selected from a list of neutral shades interspersed with saturated colors.

Adjusting the proportions of the room

The current trend is to use more active tones in small rooms. The postulate that only light walls can visually expand a miniature space is gradually becoming a thing of the past. nine0003

On the contrary, the analysis of modern projects allows us to conclude that a deep rich color scheme distracts attention from small dimensions. It is important not to use it in the dominant version. Usually one accent wall or a specific area is brightly decorated to emphasize its functionality.

Cooling or warming the room

Fashionable colors in the interior of 2023 can not only give the space a certain impact on the psychological state of a person. With the right selection, they will warm a cold room, oriented to the north and practically not receiving the beneficial effects of sunlight. nine0003

In this situation, you will need to choose a background from an arsenal of warm colors, including a variety of shades from yellow radiance to red-violet nobility. Accordingly, it is advisable to decide on a room on the south side with a predominance of cold shades from another part of the color palette.

Summing up the above, it can be noted that in the field of interior design, the selection of color solutions is usually carried out with a focus not only on fashion trends and current trends. An important role is played by personal preferences and ideas about comfort and coziness. The priority is not just functional interiors, but soothing ones, allowing you to relieve irritation, relax and unwind. nine0003

Interior design largely depends on the environment. The right combination of colors in the interior is one of the most important design elements of a modern home. The color scheme can be used to express and emphasize the features of the interior. In most cases, the design of the premises uses several shades at the same time. Properly combining trendy colors in the interior of 2023, you can make the design of the apartment look much better, more expensive and more elegant. nine0003

Color combinations in the interior 2023 - fresh design ideas

The color of the room can be warm or cold. When designing a fashionable interior, the choice of a palette is of great importance, which will serve as the basis for the pattern (or upholstery) of the walls, ceiling, and floor. Under the influence of light, the color of the wall becomes transparent, textured, reflective. Therefore, you should not choose dark colors throughout the room, they are more suitable for the living room or dining room.

The functional purpose of the room and its placement in the house requires the use of two or more colors in the interior. For example, if rooms in the same color scheme are used for guests or spouses, then such a color background will create a feeling of warmth and tranquility. nine0003

The arrangement of furniture in the interior and wall decoration in the room must be in harmony. In the practice of interior design, several rules have been developed for the compatibility of materials and colors.

Nowadays, pieces of furniture add style and individuality to the room and become a decoration of any home. The choice of furniture color depends on the style of the interior, and sometimes on the overall color scheme. For example, a classic interior requires that the furniture be plain, without bright details. nine0003

Contrasting colors are not recommended for modern interiors. You should know that warm light colors make the room more spacious, and dark ones (blue, green, black) make it more compact. Classic color schemes work well in the interiors of apartments, without loading the room with unnecessary details.

Red color in the interior 2023

It is loved by strong-willed and courageous people, as well as those who want to emphasize the individuality and originality of the room. This color is chosen by many lovers of non-standard solutions. In combination with other tones, it can bring not only aesthetic pleasure, but also fill the room with bright ideas, emotions, and improve well-being. nine0003

The lightest shade of red in a fashionable interior of an apartment can be used in all variants, but it is better in large elements (windows, doors, floors, walls). A warm rich shade that goes well with many interior styles, ideal for large amounts of space and any design solutions. A feature of this color is that when using it, you can bring a feeling of luxury to the interior.

Green color in the interior 2023

Green color in the interior 2023 is the destiny of restrained and romantic natures. It organically looks with almost all objects in the room, successfully combined with blue, purple, yellow and orange shades. nine0003

In the modern interior of the bedroom it is necessary to use soft soft colors - pistachio, light green, mint, olive, which should be soft and not too contrasting.

In the living room it is better to choose intense shades of greenery (turquoise, lime, ruby, canary, emerald). To keep the interior of your home in green tones, you can purchase photo wallpapers with a green or brown background, decorate the room with green fringe, a tablecloth, and an abundance of indoor plants. nine0009

Muted green undertones should be used in the design of the kitchen area. In addition to them, blue, blue and yellow shades can be. Not bad in the interior of the kitchen look green curtains and furniture, wood-like linoleum or parquet, tiles with a green pattern.

If you don't have any of the above, you can play a little with the amount of green. From this, the design of an apartment, house or office will not become less interesting. Decorating a house or apartment in green can be a good solution in any case, but it should be remembered that this color “does not like” sharp contrasts. nine0003

Blue color in the interior 2023

Blue color in the 2023 season does not give up its positions and still remains fashionable and relevant in the interior. That is why designers, first of all, pay attention to this practical and versatile shade.

Today you can find many options for interior design in blue tones. At the same time, the blue color is combined with many other shades that you can choose to your taste. So, if you want to create a stylish and beautiful living room, then choose lavender tones. nine0003

Blue is not only cold shades, but also warm ones, such as turquoise, purple and blue. By the way, turquoise shades are widely used for decorating bedrooms.

Orange and yellow shades harmonize very well with this color. As a rule, they are rarely used in design, however, they can be combined into one color and used in neutral tones.

Do not forget about the white color, with which you can create almost any interior. Even if the room is kept in this neutral color, it will not be superfluous to add bright blue details. For example, use special decorative pillows that can be found in almost every store. nine0009


Almost all shades of blue look beautiful in combination with white. It is in this case that the color goes a little beyond the ordinary in the interior and appears in all its splendor.

Note! If you choose blue to decorate your bedroom, you can use various accessories for decoration to create an original contrast in the design of the room.

Furnishing a bedroom in blue is a great way to give the room freshness and softness. If too simple and strict colors are used in a room, this does not always have a good effect on the design. nine0003

What colors will be the most fashionable in the interior in 2023

Furnishings with different color solutions in 2023 will delight not only with their appearance, but also with new trends in interior design. Trends in interior design will be presented in the form of individual rooms or entire apartments in bright, rich colors.
