One of the main global trends is the desire to get as close to nature as possible within an apartment. Therefore, designers bring as many relevant elements to the interiors as possible: from live plants to biophilic decor and the appropriate color scheme. nine0003

In the trendy living room of 2023, this is primarily expressed in the use of furniture made from natural materials. Give up plastic and cheap chipboard in favor of natural wood, rattan, stone. Yes, such products are more expensive, but this is a profitable investment, as they will last much longer than budget counterparts. In addition, natural textures look more noble - and at the same time natural. They will create a feeling of comfort in the room, without reducing the cost or simplifying the design. Complement such furniture with textiles made from natural fabrics and laconic decor in the same concept. nine0003 8

Modular sofas are one of the brightest trends that will definitely not lose ground in the near future.

Social networks of designer Olga Bondar

Interior design is now experiencing an era of functionality and reasonable minimalism, the concept of which fits perfectly with the idea of ​​modular upholstered furniture.

Why modular systems are good:

Modular sofas are made in a modern design, thanks to which they fit perfectly into minimalist, loft and contemporary interiors. They are not used in pure classics, but are suitable for contrasting eclectic design, in which several different directions are mixed. By the way, such a mixture of styles also corresponds to what kind of living rooms are now in trend. nine0003

The focus is steadily shifting to creating the most cozy and comfortable atmosphere, which means that all shapes and silhouettes will soften. Even now, in fashionable interiors, rectangular furniture with pronounced corners is being replaced by smooth, curved lines: round chairs and tables, spherical lamps, crescent-shaped sofas, shells, islands. The trend is any streamlined shapes and a variety of textures that flow into each other and make the space unified. Moreover, it does not have to be a perfectly even circle - pay attention to the forms inherent in nature with their imperfections and sometimes the lack of perfect symmetry. nine0002 Social networks of AB Architects studio

If earlier psychologists and designers "kicked" TVs out of the bedroom, now they are increasingly leaving the living room without them.

The solution is not yet widespread, since it is difficult for many to imagine their life without a TV, but it is already definitely becoming a trend and will be increasingly found in the design of the hall in the apartment in 2023. This does not mean that you need to spend time in the room in complete silence — There are many alternatives to a dark screen on the wall. To understand if you really need a TV, answer yourself two questions:

The first question will help you understand what life scenarios take place in the hall and, accordingly, what functional areas you need. For example, if you often invite friends home or gather with the whole family, it is worth organizing a comfortable soft group. And if your hobby is playing board games, then take care of a comfortable table. Don't like to sit in silence? You can put a smart speaker or make a full-fledged stereo system. nine0003

The second question will help you understand which technique is right for you. So, if you mainly watch movies, series or videos on the Internet, then a traditional TV can be replaced with a laptop. Want to enjoy movies on the big screen? Hang the projector - it is much easier to fit into the interior.

Previously formed a mild group: sofa, sofa, bones two chairs from one chairs from one. set, coffee table in the middle.

Such a strict symmetrical composition came from traditional interiors, but now you can move away from this rule. The exception is the classical and partially neoclassical style, which has its own strict canons and principles for organizing space. nine0003

What will replace it? Not new, but a steady trend in living rooms for 2023 is accent chairs from different collections. They can be completely different in shape, material, shade, do not overlap either with each other or with the sofa. Of course, such a free composition requires a certain amount of observation, and it is more difficult to combine the incongruous than objects from the same group. To make the sofa group look harmonious, follow a few rules.

How to combine items in a sofa group:

What can be an art object:

The amount of such decor with history should be in line with the style of the room. So, if the design of the living room is made in minimalism, hi-tech, scandi or contemporary, there should be little decoration. It is better to choose one large-format element and make it the focal point of the space, adding a minimum number of other accessories. But in creative living rooms in the style of boho, eclecticism, art deco, shabby chic, you can give yourself free rein and not be afraid to overdo it with decor.

It is created using enveloping hues, often within a single color (such as beige or warm grey) to create a cozy monochrome or near-monochrome palette. The neutrality of shades is compensated by a variety of shapes and textures: combine wood, marble, metal, natural fabrics, live plants, etc. To achieve the feeling of a soft enveloping cocoon, use soft warm colors: cream, butter, biscuit, coffee, ivory, etc. Complement them with contrasting accents: black, dark gray, deep blue, emerald green. nine0003

Another way to place accents, which is gaining more and more popularity, involves the opposite of the previous point.

Against the backdrop of a discreet palette and neutral finishes, a bright spot of color plays the role of a sofa. It can be either a modular design or a classic model. The main thing in this design is the overall calm color scheme, against which the only large object will stand out. Choose noble deep shades: burgundy, plum, dark blue, deep purple, terracotta, emerald, ocher, peach, mint, coral, etc. So that a bright product does not look foreign in the design of the hall in the apartment, it must be supported with the help of other elements:

Like any accessories, they should be used sparingly. For example, general light can be solved with built-in ceiling spots or lighting around the perimeter (the “floating ceiling” looks especially impressive), but beautiful lamps can be used as an additional one: sconces, floor lamps, curly pendants. Both in modern interiors and in neoclassical, lamps made of glass or precious metals look great - at the same time, they can be simple in shape, but stand out due to their bright texture. nine0003

There is another approach: to focus, on the contrary, on the central light. It can be a luxurious chandelier or an original designer lamp above a sofa or dining group. In this case, other sources can be chosen in a more restrained design.

Fashion in interior design does not change as rapidly as in the fashion or beauty industry, but still every year new bright trends appear or old ones are transformed. Our article is about this. We will tell you what techniques will be relevant in 2023, how to choose a palette and materials. We will also show photos of fashionable apartment interiors where these trends are implemented. nine0003

The general trends in apartment design in 2023 (photo below) have hardly changed: the trend is naturalness and at the same time functionality, minimalist ideas, care for nature and yourself. nine0003

Soft minimalism

Social networks of designer Daria Mayorova

All modern design as a whole is built on the concept of minimalism. Refusing mindless consumption, cluttering rooms and excessive savings that lead to more frequent purchases - all this has been around for a long time and is not going to fade into the shadows.

But in the coming year, the focus will shift to softer and warmer minimalism. If earlier for many it was associated with sterility, facelessness, cold, now minimalist interiors are becoming more lively, cozy and personalized. First of all, this is expressed in the palette: warm colors in the beige-brown paradigm are increasingly taken as the basis, diluting them with muted shades of red, yellow, orange and only slightly shading them with contrasting achromats. The color scheme is complemented by tactilely pleasant textures (as much as possible wood, textiles, vegetation) and smooth rounded shapes. The latter applies both to furniture and to the very architecture of an apartment or a country house. Minimalism can act as a base and be complemented by elements of other styles: scandi, boho, country, classics. This will add originality to the interior and give it character. nine0002 Social networks of designer Darya Mayorova

Smart home

Now technologies are developing so rapidly that it is difficult to keep up with all the innovations.

But you can and should gradually introduce them into your home. Every detail in the interior should simplify the life of the owners. All kinds of sensors, remote-controlled switches, timers, voice assistants, smart gadgets are an absolute must-have for any apartment or private house. If you are not yet ready to install a complex smart home system, start with local “assistants”: a robot vacuum cleaner, remote-controlled curtains, water-saving faucets, multifunctional appliances, etc. nine0003

Another, larger-scale embodiment of this trend can be seen at the level of architecture and planning. If earlier attention was mostly paid to residential and front rooms, now even the owners of small-sized apartments are trying to allocate space for inconspicuous technical areas: laundry, dressing rooms, pantries. And this is not just a meter by meter space littered with things, but well-thought-out functional rooms that greatly simplify life and logistics in the apartment.

But in fact they absolutely do not contradict each other. Nostalgia in the interior should not be manifested in a complete departure from progress. Quite the opposite: discreet technical solutions organically complement the retro style, vintage furniture and original decor with history.

Designers and analysts are predicting a special popularity of the style of the 70s. It brings the much-needed positivity, adds coziness and nostalgic warmth, while curved and rounded silhouettes echo the trend towards organic shapes. Grandmother's chests of drawers, leather sofas and lamps from the GDR will find a second life, and the search for unique vintage furniture on bulletin boards will become a real exciting quest. nine0003

More precisely, the approach to their choice.

Tactility

The same minimalism taught us to monolithic structures and a well-balanced picture without a single superfluous detail. Such interiors are impressive in the photo, but in real life for many they are not comfortable enough. Therefore, now in the projects of Russian and foreign designers, a common leitmotif is clearly visible - a departure from perfectly even lines and smooth surfaces to natural imperfections. The ability to see beauty in its original natural form is characteristic of the Japanese - that is why the Japandi style has become so popular. nine0003

Regardless of direction, interiors are increasingly using:

Sustainable design

Sustainable design is now on the rise. It is characterized by long-term concern for the environment, as well as the ethics of production. Not only the composition of the material is important, but also how it was created: no damage to nature, the use of renewable resources, fair working conditions. nine0003

How materials work in an interior also matters. They must be durable, easy to care for, safe for people and animals, and finally, just comfortable. It doesn't matter if it's natural wood or bioplastic.

Innovations

This trend is closely related to the previous one. The desire to save natural resources and take care of the world around us motivate designers to look for and create new materials.

Therefore, every year unusual inventions appear at exhibitions. The priority is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, recyclable raw materials. For example:

Consider the actual colors in 2023. If you are planning to renovate an apartment, these photo designs will definitely inspire you.

Monochrome

The neutral base does not go out of fashion and will not lose ground in the coming years. There is also a trend towards monochrome and visual simplicity in the projects. The stereotype that gray or beige as the basis of the palette is too boring is not only dispelled, but elevated to the opposite absolute when this color becomes the only one in the room. nine0003

Every day we are surrounded by a lot of bright colors, fast-changing pictures, contrasting shots, so it is important to rest from such a large amount of visual information within the walls of the house. And the best help in this is the most calm palette, consisting of shades flowing into each other. They create the effect of a single cozy space, a kind of "cocoon", which gives a sense of security and helps to relax. A variety of expressive textures help to compensate for the simplicity of the color scheme: from cold stone or concrete to warm wool and natural wood. You can also dilute the overall monochrome with a couple of small contrasting accents to set visual beacons. nine0003

Herbs and spices

In the coming year, color schemes based on warm shades will definitely be in fashion.

You can use any colors, but brown, red, orange and all derivatives from them will act as a trend base. For inspiration, you can imagine a counter with various spices and spices: paprika, ginger, turmeric, curry, mustard, basil, saffron, cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, etc. These shades are perfectly combined with the textures of wood, stone, brick and natural fabrics. Or, on the contrary, they can be balanced and refreshed with the help of gray, white, black or navy blue. This palette is suitable for any room: from the kitchen (the most obvious choice through the associative series) to the bedroom or home office. The photo below shows the fashionable interiors of apartments in these colors.
