New trends in home decor
10 Ideas to Try This Year
With a new year on the horizon, I’ve been scouting out the 2023 home decorating trends and design styles to share with you. I love taking a look at each year’s interior design trends — especially the ones I think will last beyond the next few months. And, happily, most of the home decor ideas on this list should stand the test of time, making them easier to adopt.
Before we get into the interior design trends for 2023, as always, I recommend decorating your home in a way that makes you feel great. So don’t feel like you have to adopt these ideas if they don’t resonate with you or work with the style of your home. In fact, I don’t think it’s a great idea to jump on every new home trend that comes along.
However, you can’t go wrong in taking a look at the current design trends and styles, because it expands your awareness of what’s out there. I’ve found that when I look at my spaces with a fresh perspective, I can often repurpose pieces I already own to create a brand new look.

What are the top home decor trends for 2023?
In the coming year, we’ll see an interesting mix of new and returning trends. Some of the most popular interior design trends for 2023 include the return of bold color, natural stone surfaces, closed floor plans, mixed metal finishes, luxe living, statement lighting, and 60s and 70s influences — particularly in furniture design.
Several themes are appearing for interiors, with “elevated” being one of the keywords for 2023, and you’ll see that concept woven throughout this list. Luxurious looks, sumptuous fabrics, and understated elegance are in — no matter what decorating style you prefer.
While the decorating trends for 2023 are a varied bunch, they all have the potential to bring a sense of beauty, comfort, and style to your home in the coming year.
What furniture is in style for 2023?
Due to manufacturing and shipping delays over the past couple of years, furniture styles for 2023 will tend to overlap the trends from last year.
That means we’re still seeing plenty of curvy shapes and nubby fabrics, as well as rattan and cane, boucle’ and sherpa, light wood and burl wood finishes.
While curvy, rounded, and slope-armed furniture is still on trend, many interior designers are ready to say goodbye to the curved furniture styles of 2021 and 2022, favoring a return to more streamlined, classic furniture silhouettes in 2023 and beyond.
In addition, if you’re buying a large piece of furniture in 2023, such as a sofa or bed, you might want to choose timeless fabric options like linen, cotton, performance weaves, or velvet — rather than boucle’ or sherpa — as I think the popularity of nubby fabrics in upholstery will wane in the next year or two.
If you really love the look of boucle’ and sherpa, you can still bring that look into your home via pillows, benches, throws, or ottomans instead.
Is farmhouse style out for 2023?
While modern farmhouse decor is still extremely popular, in 2023 we’ll continue to see this style evolve into a more refined look, borrowing aspects from modern European, Belgian farmhouse, coastal, and Scandinavian styles.
This elevated version of modern farmhouse style shows no signs of slowing down in the coming year.
However, the original version of modern farmhouse style from a few years ago no longer feels current. Even Chip and Joanna are doing something much more sophisticated these days!
Jean Stoffer Interior Design – pendants
With the addition of luxurious textures, interesting shapes, natural elements, and a mix of vintage and modern pieces, farmhouse style is maturing into a classic, timeless aesthetic.
What interior design styles are trending for 2023?
In 2023 interiors will increasingly become less about what’s trendy and more about personal expression. Rather than certain trends increasing or declining, we’re seeing different design styles merging.
For example, modern minimalist style typically incorporates clean lines, neutrals, and black elements; while maximalist style favors layered textures, color, and vintage pieces. However, we see both design perspectives embracing the use of natural materials, such as wood, stone, wool, linen, and rattan, as well as many other trends on this list.
With the lines between different decorating styles blurring, you’re welcome to create your own take on any decorating style you prefer, leading to a more personal approach to interior design and home decor in 2023.
Read on for my predictions for trends in home decor and interior design styles for 2023, including kitchen design trends, furniture, living room decor trends, colors, and a look ahead at the winter and spring 2023 decorating trends.
As you’ll see below, most of these home decor ideas would work well in just about any room in the house — and with just about any decorating style — making them easy to adapt to your home.
Trend 1. Luxe living
Luxurious living and an elevated mindset are where things are headed in 2023, and you’ll see that idea reflected throughout all of the trends on this list.
Fine living doesn’t have to mean fancy or expensive — it’s more about refinement and an elevated approach to how we decorate and live in our homes.
It involves creating spaces that feel sumptuous, sophisticated, and timeless — however that looks for you.
Leclair Decor – chairs – coffee table
The luxe look isn’t about glam, shiny, mirrored, or glitzy spaces. Rather, you’ll see rooms filled with warmth, calm and collected accents, plush cushioned seating, soft rugs, layered lighting, and pillows and throws in luxurious materials.
You might want to interpret this 2023 design style in a modern space via light neutral tones, clean-lined pieces, and sumptuous fabrics like silk, linen, and velvet. Take a look at Architectural Digest or the Restoration Hardware catalog for ideas and inspiration.
Lisa Tharp
Architectural Digest – RH Design for Kerry Washington
Or, you might embrace this trend via a more tailored space, incorporating layered textures, warm wood tones, rich colors, grid-patterned rugs, and luxurious pillows and throws. Think Ralph Lauren: understated, elegant, and classic with a modern twist.
Jean Stoffer Design
While these two approaches to the luxe living trend are different, both incorporate natural elements, layered fabrics and textures, and an overall appreciation for the finer things of life. The key to a luxurious space is all about mastering the mix of timeless elegance and modern simplicity, creating a space that’s equally welcoming and sophisticated.

Trend 2. The Return of Color
After the past few years of non-stop neutrals, in 2023 we’ll see a return of color in home decor, paint colors, and bedding.
Tying in with the other home trends in this post, a luxurious palette of rich jewel tones, soothing greens, timeless blues, and warm earth tones will dominate in 2023.
Jean Stoffer Interior Design
And, if you saw my post on the Top Home Color Trends for 2023, you know that just about anything goes when it comes to color choices in the coming year.
Ann Rae Design
You might decide to try this trend via wallpaper in the powder bath, a bold wall color in the home office, laundry room, or dining room, or simply by adding a few colorful accents to the living room.
Sources
Or, try layering your bedding with different colors, rather than just a monochromatic look. And, don’t be afraid to experiment with mixing different patterns, as well!

Trend 3. Natural stone finishes
Natural stone finishes are having a big moment — particularly materials that incorporate unexpected tones and patterns — and that trend will continue in 2023.
Some of the most popular stone elements include travertine, marble, exotic slabs of granite, soapstone, limestone, and other natural materials.
Athena Calderone
Other than stone coffee tables, countertops, backsplashes, and flooring, some ways to incorporate this trend in your home include handcrafted ceramics and pottery, artisanal clay vases, stoneware and dinnerware.
Pieces that are imperfect and retain their natural charm and character are especially popular right now.

Zellige tile is also having a moment, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. Zellige tiles are handcrafted from clay, and each one is unique, retaining variations in shimmer, depth and color tone, making them a favorite of interior designers.
Pure Salt Interiors – pendants
Remember, there’s a certain charm and patina that comes with use of natural stone surfaces, so don’t be afraid of the scratches, dings, and stains that are an inevitable part of living in and enjoying your home.
Trend 4. Home Retreats
Tying in with the fine living trend, more than ever, people are making their homes feel like a retreat, with things like sumptuous sofas, plush cushions, luxurious bedding, spaces to do yoga or meditate, spa-like bathrooms, rock gardens, and quiet places to work becoming must-haves.
Pure Salt Interiors
This trend is all about capturing the emotions of your favorite vacation spot — whether that’s a beach house, European villa, or cozy mountain lodge.
Three Birds Renovations – arm chairs – similar arm chairs
As we update our homes in 2023 and beyond, things like ambient lighting, sound, tactility, and designing indoor and outdoor spaces to encourage restoration and relaxation are becoming more important.
Pure Salt Interiors
Some ways to make your home feel like an oasis include incorporating warm woods, breezy linen curtains, sumptuous sink-in furniture, and objects from your travels.
Trend 5. Closed floor plans
The growing popularity of working and learning from home means that open floor plans are losing their appeal, and in 2023 home design we’ll continue to see closed-concept spaces, with separate places to work, take Zoom calls, and do homework becoming more desirable.
David Frazier Co.
Our last home had an open floor plan, with the entire living room, dining area, and kitchen in full view whenever someone walked in the front door. While that kind of home plan is great for family togetherness, it wasn’t ideal for our lifestyle.
So, when we built our current house, we specifically chose a closed floor plan.
If your current home has an open floor plan and you’d like to create more division, you might try rearranging the furniture to help designate the different functions of each space — for example, placing the sofa with its back to the kitchen and dining area, as shown below:
Studio McGee
You can also use screens to block off certain areas and create more privacy.
Trend 6. Mixed Metal Finishes
Mixing metals is a great way to add an interesting and contemporary look to the kitchen and bathroom. In 2023, expect designers and homeowners alike to embrace a combination of different metal finishes for fixtures and hardware.
Pure Salt Interiors
The days of using one metal finish everywhere in the home are gone. Rather, it’s now very common to mix and match metal finishes – not only in the kitchen and bathroom — but throughout the home on surfaces like doorknobs, curtain rods, light fixtures, hinges, and more.
Jean Stoffer Interior Design
Whether you’re going for a chic, modern, timeless, or classic look, mixing metals adds visual interest to your home and is a look that will last through 2023 and beyond.
Pure Salt Interiors
If you’d like to learn more about how to use this design trend in your home, here are two posts I wrote on the subject:

Trend 7. Statement Lighting
In 2023, interior designers and homeowners will trade traditional pendant lights for oversized light fixtures and lighting in interesting shapes.
Kelsey Leigh Design – pendant lights
We’ll see more oversized and large-scale lighting that acts as an overhead work of art. We’ll also see statement lighting in unique natural materials such as rattan, clay, ceramic, and earthenware fixtures.
Salt Design Co. – chandelier
A single dramatic pendant helps define a dining or living space, particularly in open concept homes.
Not only does bold lighting catch your attention, it serves as a focal point for the room.
Pure Salt Interiors
In the kitchen, consider using one statement pendant light over the kitchen island, rather than two or three. Another great idea for the kitchen is placing a small table lamp on your kitchen counter for ambiance and additional task lighting.
Millworks – light fixture
And, with the current popularity of luxurious, retreat-like homes, ambient lighting is becoming more popular than ever. Candles, floor lamps, Himalayan salt lamps, and table lamps help bring a warm, cozy feeling to any space.
M. Lahr Homes – similar chandelier – console cabinet – here’s another cabinet source
Trend 8. Natural Materials
This look embraces organic materials such as wool, cotton, silk, rattan and clay in earth tones and warm neutrals.
Studio McGee – cane counter stools – pendant lights
And since natural materials never go out of style, over the last couple of years we’ve seen the use of natural materials in home decor grow to the point where it’s probably no longer a trend.
Pure Salt Interiors
To bring the natural look to your home, focus on less faux and more real elements in your home. Look for furniture crafted from light or mid-toned woods and accent your spaces with natural rugs crafted in nubby wool, jute, or textured cotton to add warmth and texture.

Barrow Design
Trend 9: Black accents
No matter what decorating style you prefer, every space in your home will always benefit from a touch of black.
M Lahr Homes
Black accent pieces and hardware are a great way to add contrast, drama, and sophistication to any room, especially when paired with other neutrals like tan and white or rich jewel tones like navy and emerald green.
Heirloom Projects
Although this home trend is a carry-over from 2022, the popularity of black home decor, accents, cabinetry, lighting, fixtures, and finishes is expected to grow over the coming year — especially as we incorporate more statement lighting, luxurious accents, and mixed metal finishes in our homes.
The Life Styled Co. – coffee tables
Some ideas for adding a touch of black to a space include hanging chic black picture frames in the dining area, adding a black lamp or side table to the living room, or swapping out the hardware on your kitchen or bathroom cabinets for black versions.
Nicole Green Interiors
Trend 10: 60s and 70s Influences
Since my focus is on sharing decorating styles that will last, I almost didn’t include this interior design trend, because I think the current popularity of 60s and 70s influences (borrowed from current fashion trends) will be somewhat short-lived.
However, I do think some elements of the 1960s and 1970s, such as the iconic Herman Miller Eames chair and other statement pieces from that era, will have staying power, thanks to their timeless beauty and functionality, interesting textures, enveloping shapes, and natural materials.
Olga Ashby Interiors
In addition, in 2023, expect to see a return of the warm wood tones which were popular in the 1970s, as medium- to darker-toned wood finishes like walnut are making a comeback in coffee tables, consoles, kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, media cabinets, and flooring.
Mowery Marsh Architects
Up and Coming Decorating Trends and Design Styles for Winter into Spring 2023:
I couldn’t fit all the 2023 design styles and home decor trends in one post, so here’s a look at some themes that will continue to grow in popularity over the coming year:
Pampered Pets
Our pets are true members of our families, so any post on interior design trends wouldn’t be complete without mentioning how important it is to take our pets into account when making decisions about our homes. In 2023, pet-centered design will continue to grow as homeowners design spaces with the comfort and happiness of their pets in mind, from incorporating dog bathing and grooming stations in the laundry room or mudroom to building luxury cat homes in the living room.
Meg McSherry Interiors
Asymmetry
Expect to see less uniformity in 2023 design styles, as designers are embracing asymmetry and mis-matched bedroom, dining, and living room furniture.
This home decor trend is all about using pieces in new, interesting and unusual ways. If you have a matching bedroom set, think about moving some of the pieces to the guest room, dining room, or entryway. Then, fill in the missing gaps with a new or vintage pieces here and there to create a collected, cohesive look. Nightstands and dressers can often be used in the entryway or dining room as well. The blue cabinet in our entryway used to be a black nightstand — a quick coat of paint and some new hardware gave it a second life!
Coastal Grandmother
As we move into spring 2023 design styles and trends, I think we’ll see a resurgence of coastal grandmother style, which became popular in 2022. This decorating style incorporates a mix of modern coastal style and Nancy Meyers inspired interiors, and its relaxed, elevated outlook makes coastal grandmother style perfect for spring and summer decorating. Some hallmarks of the coastal grandma home decor trend include white slipcovered furniture, light neutral tones, and natural and organic elements, with an overall relaxed, chic aesthetic.
Pure Salt Interiors – similar sectionals here, here, and here – similar coffee table here
See my posts, What is Coastal Grandmother Style? (and why I’m loving it!) and Modern Coastal Decorating Ideas for Your Home, for more on this interior design style.
Outdoor Living
Homeowners will continue to turn their outdoor areas and patios into luxurious staycation destinations for spring and summer 2023, with features like outdoor fireplaces and fire pits, outdoor kitchens, swimming pools, pool houses, greenhouses, and raised-bed gardening areas. See my post Modern Patio Ideas for Beautiful Outdoor Living for more ideas.
Pure Salt Interiors
Painted or wallpapered ceilings
If you’d like to incorporate an accent color in your space in an interesting way, you might want to consider painting or wallpapering your ceiling. I’m starting to see this look more often as designers are moving away from the trend of painting just one accent wall in a room, opting instead for a bold look on the ceiling.
And I have to say, this is a trend I love!
Julie Howard for Timber Trails Development Co.
Whether your preferred interior design style is coastal, modern farmhouse, Scandinavian, minimalist, Japandi, traditional, eclectic, or something in between — I hope you you found this post helpful! The great thing about the majority of the 2023 design styles and home trends is that they should stand the test of time, which means we’ll be able to enjoy them for years to come.
Wishing you a beautiful and blessed 2023! xo Jane

Color of the Year 2023 + Top Home Color Trends
One of my favorite things to do is talk about color, so when the top colors of the year are announced, I get pretty excited.
Not only are the Color of the Year forecasts a helpful guide when selecting paint shades, they give me a good idea as to what interior design trends we’ll see developing in the coming months. So when paint companies like Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, Valspar, Behr, Pantone, and others recently started announcing their Colors of the Year for 2023, I wanted to share them with you.
As you’ll see, the trending colors for 2023 are a varied bunch, but all are designed to bring a sense of warmth, comfort, and elegance to your home. And, with a couple of exceptions, most of these shades would work well in just about any room in the house — and with just about any interior design style.
Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2023
Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year for 2023 is Raspberry Blush, described as “a vivacious shade of coral tinged with pink.”
This optimistic hue is part of Benjamin Moore’s Color Trends 2023, an entire color palette “built to envelop you in vivacious color.
”
Benjamin Moore Raspberry Blush (2008-30)
Besides the 2023 Color of the Year, Raspberry Blush, the Benjamin Moore 2023 Color Palette includes Conch Shell (a gentle dusty pink), Cinnamon (a rich brown with orange undertones), Wenge (a deep chocolate with hints of violet), Savannah Green (a balanced shade of ochre), New Age (an ethereal light purple with a hint of gray), Starry Night Blue (a deep navy color akin to indigo), and North Sea Green (a relaxing blend of blue-green).
Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2023: Raspberry Blush (2008-30)
Benjamin Moore Conch Shell
Benjamin Moore Cinnamon
Benjamin Moore Wenge
Benjamin Moore Savannah Green
Benjamin Moore New Age
Benjamin Moore Starry Night Blue
Benjamin Moore North Sea Green
Any of the shades in the 2023 Color Trends palette would pair beautifully with neutral hues.
Benjamin Moore recommends Etiquette (AF-50), White Heron (OC-57), Gray Owl (OC-52), and Onyx (2133-10) as neutrals with warm, cool, and neutral undertones– perfectly suited for using as a trim or accent color with Raspberry Blush or any of the other colors in the palette.
By the way, if you’re looking for the best Benjamin Moore white paint, my favorite is White Dove (OC-17), which we used to paint our kitchen cabinets and several rooms in our home. For more on Benjamin Moore White Dove, you might be interested in my post, How to Choose the Best White Paint for Your Home.
Behr Color of the Year 2023
Behr’s Color of the Year for 2023 is Blank Canvas (DC-003) a warm, cozy shade of white. I happen to love that Behr chose white as their color of the year, because it’s a great option for any room in the home.
This shade of white is similar to Benjamin Moore White Dove (which we’ve used throughout our home) and would work well with just about any other color, including other warm neutral beiges and tans.
Behr Blank Canvas (DC-003)
Blank Canvas could be used to create a calming, welcoming atmosphere in the living room.
Here, Blank Canvas brings a fresh feeling to kitchen cabinets.
I love the look of Blank Canvas in the bathroom. This shade has the ability to make any space feel brighter and more modern.
As you know I love white walls (and white in general), so I think it’s wonderful that Behr chose Blank Canvas as their color of the year.
White paint can be used in so many great ways throughout the home — not only is white the most popular color for kitchen cabinets, it’s perfect for walls, trim and molding, shelving, furniture, and bathroom vanities, as well.
White paint is always sophisticated and everyone can incorporate it in their home. And, in my opinion, this particular shade of white, Blank Canvas, is a classic.
If you’re considering painting your walls white, here’s my post on How to Choose the Best White Paint for Your Home.
And, if you’re thinking of painting your kitchen cabinets white, here’s my post on Our Kitchen Renovation.
Behr paint is available at The Home Depot.
Sherwin Williams Color of the Year 2023
The Sherwin Williams 2023 Color of the Year is a warm, earthy tone called Redend Point (SW-9081).
Sherwin Williams Redend Point
Described as minimal yet cozy, this color would make a nice backdrop or accent color for living spaces.
And, since it’s a calming hue, Redend Point could be used in a bedroom, as well.
Sherwin Williams Redend Point
The versatility of Redend Point makes it adaptable to just about any space in the home.
Here, it’s shown as a kitchen cabinet color. This is a pretty bold choice, but I could see it working well in a bungalow or craftsman style home.
Sherwin Williams Redend Point
Interestingly, Redend Point is very similar to one of Valspar’s Colors of the Year, Southern Road.
Valspar Colors of the Year
Rather than just one shade, Valspar announced a collection of Colors of the Year for 2023, radiating joy, light, optimism, and warmth.
Valspar Everglade Deck
The Valspar 2023 Colors of the Year are livable shades that would work well in just about any space in the home.
The 2023 color palette includes Ivory Brown, Cozy White, Gentle Violet, Blue Arrow, Flora, Desert Carnation, Green Trellis, Rising Tide, Holmes Cream, Southern Road, Villa Grey, and Everglade Deck.
Valspar Ivory Brown
Valspar Cozy White
Valspar Gentle Violet
Valspar Blue Arrow is a balanced shade, merging cool tones of blue with warm undertones. Here, it’s beautifully paired with white trim as an exterior color:
Valspar Blue Arrow
Valspar Flora is described as a deep, blackened olive, embodying charm and sophistication.
Valspar Flora
Valspar Holmes Cream
Valspar Southern Road
Valspar Desert Carnation
Valspar Green Trellis is another shade that would work well as an exterior paint color. In fact, our home exterior is painted with a similar Valspar shade, Secret Moss.
Valspar Green Trellis
Valspar Rising Tide
Valspar Villa Grey
It’s probably no surprise that my favorite Valspar color for 2023 is Everglade Deck (5011-3), a rich midnight blue, described as “an elegant calming hue to restore mind, body and home.”
Not only is it trend-worthy, Everglade Deck is a classic, timeless shade that would bring an elegant touch to any space in the home. I love it paired with brass, as shown in this chic bathroom:
Valspar Everglade Deck
For more on incorporating the color blue in your home, you might also be interested in my post, All About Blue: How I’m Decorating with the Color of the Year.
Valspar paint is available at Lowe’s.
Pantone Color of the Year 2023
Pantone’s 2023 Color of the Year is Viva Magenta, an exuberant and optimistic shade of red, described as “powerful and empowering .. a new animated red that revels in pure joy.”
According to Pantone Color Institute Executive Director, Leatrice Eiseman, Viva Magenta was “inspired by the red of cochineal, one of the most precious dyes belonging to the natural dye family, as well as one of the strongest and brightest the world has known.
”
Pantone 18-1750 Viva Magenta
To embrace this shade of crimson red in home decor and interior design, trying incorporating it wherever you want to add a bit of drama, joyfulness, or vibrancy — perhaps as a bold statement wall, incorporated in a piece of artwork, or as an accent color in pillows or other home textiles.
Using Color in Your Home
Mixing and matching colors in your home doesn’t have to be daunting. Try styling deep, saturated hues with light neutrals as a contrast.
You can soften the bold look of color by introducing curved forms and luxurious textures to create a look that’s both inspiring and calming.
To give you an idea of how you could use the 2023 colors of the year in various ways throughout your home, below are several inspiring spaces featuring colors and tones similar to those in the 2023 color trends.

Contents:
- Environmentally friendly interior
- Theatrical interior
- Japanese style and design
- Natural texture in decor
- Monochromatic decor
- Warm colors in the interior
- Roundings
- Transparency in decor
- Emotional design
In 2023, it remains in fashion in interior decor to give preference to your tastes, rather than chasing trends.
In retro fashion, a little chaos, handmade things. To make your home become your place of strength and relaxation - create design not with trends, but with the help of them. The trend is natural materials, smart furniture, retro and antique items. At the same time, chaos and theatricality come to replace minimalism.
Sustainability in the interior
In 2023, the so-called “new veganism” is coming into fashion – this is sustainability. When creating the interior, preference will be given to biodegradable materials, non-toxic finishes, and packaging that is easy to recycle. The eco-trend will make a big change in the decoration and layout of the premises, as well as in design projects. In 2023, sink grinders, furniture made from recyclable materials, non-toxic paint, and all kinds of water pipe filters will gain great popularity. Of course, in the description it doesn’t sound very nice, at the same time, all eco-friendly items in the interior look great. If you want to leave an ecological footprint, be sure to transplant your indoor flowers from plastic pots to clay pots, buy a dishwasher and install economy light bulbs.
Interior with theatrical character
In 2023, the popular minimalist interior is replaced by the so-called theater interior. When creating this interior, the homeowner gives preference to his own interests, to the creation of his own philosophy of housing. The homeowner violates all the previously established composition rules. Are you used to symmetry and completeness? So theater design is not for you. The interior with a theatrical character is saturated with its incompleteness, small chaos of creativity. There is a feeling that the repair was not completed: they did not finish painting, they did not putty. This decor will be complemented by beautiful vintage light, restored elegant furniture. All these incongruous things create a combined scene.
Japanese style and design
Japandi is not just a style of room design, it is a real philosophy. This decor style combines the Japanese spirit of wabi-sabi and the minimalism of Scandinavia.
This style finds perfection in imperfection. If you like color and rich interior design, this style is not for you. It is expressed in traditional decor, consists of natural elements. The interiors in this style are quite spectacular, minimalistic, functional and simple. In apartments with this design, all things are in place, there is nothing superfluous and unnecessary for the interior. Preference should be given to furniture made from high quality natural materials.
Natural texture in decor
Previously, “cold” and “dry” interiors were in fashion. These interiors looked spectacular on TV screens, in the photo, but it was not comfortable to live in such rooms. In 2023, this minimalism is moving towards "spirituality". The preference for this decor of apartments is “decor that has not been touched by a human hand.” The decoration uses natural materials. All this brings man closer to nature. Use as much organic matter as possible in the decor of apartments and houses.
When decorating walls, choose clay and natural stone, when upholstering furniture, choose wool, natural cotton and velvet, decorate the room with handmade elements. Natural decor will make the room cozy and warm, filled with tranquility.
Monochromatic decor
Subdued decor will gain popularity in 2023. It will make the interior of your home memorable. Such an interior can be either in one shade or in several shades of the main color, while the shapes and textures create an interesting and memorable space.
Monochrome decor creates a balanced and calm atmosphere in the room. Monochrome is very popular in bathroom and kitchen design today.
Warm colors in the interior
The trend of 2023 is interior decoration in the color of spices, namely warm pinks and browns. It is best to combine such shades with white or black walls, floors or ceilings. All this will give the decor layering, depth and thoughtfulness. The decor in such colors looks great in the form of weaving from cattail, reeds, rattan and jute.
Coarse fabrics, raw surfaces, casual materials will also remain popular.
Rounds
Designers are very fond of creating things with streamlined, rounded shapes that resemble drops. Such forms are very often used in the creation of furniture, the form of doors and arches, flowing lamps. Rounded corners symbolize home harmony and comfort, affect the subconscious and give a good mood.
Transparency in decor
Tempered glass partitions, furniture - all this has gained immense popularity in 2023. When using these things in a small room, you can zone the space and leave a lot of lightness and "air". Furnish the room with furniture, but do not "weight" it.
Emotional design
If you want more emotions, fill your home with things that are dear to your heart. This trend is suitable for those people who like to bring plates, towels, magnets, copies of pyramids from their travels. Let it even be a collection of records, framed notes, garlands of white cranes, children's drawings.
It is important that all these items in your interior will make you warm emotions and smile.
No matter how fast fashion changes, even in room decor, give preference only to those things that will cheer you up and give you strength. Remember: "Your home is your castle."
Trends and anti-trends in decor - 2022
A design project is a global work that involves creating the appearance of a room from scratch. But in order to update the room, it is not necessary to invite a designer, you can often get by with decoration or styling. Understanding what it is

In the field of decoration and styling, trends are constantly emerging, both fleeting and global. They change faster than interior design trends. What is the difference between these two concepts and what trends are relevant now, says Daria Zagreba, the author of the “Interior Decor and Styling” program at the Higher School “Learning Environment”, an interior decorator and stylist at the Flats Design architectural studio.
Decorating is a quick change in the appearance of housing that does not require major intervention. Styling is essentially the same, but at a professional level: this is the name of preparing a designer’s work for shooting with a professional stylist. The result of styling can be seen on the pages of interior magazines, in the designer's portfolio or social networks.

Antitrend : large spaces for general leisure
Trend : creation of micro-rooms
The pandemic has turned our apartments into work areas, where household members interfere with each other to video chat. In 2020-2021, it became clear that the priorities have changed, we need to adjust and look for options. This problem can be solved by decorating.
Every worker and student needs a corner with a backdrop acceptable for broadcasting and at least some soundproofing. Most often, a decorator is asked to create an office from a loggia.
Specific solutions always depend on the nature of the customer's business.
A creative person, for example, needs a creative environment, bright colors, motivating posters and other sources of inspiration. For an office worker, a clean space with a few splashes of color is better suited, which will distract from routine tasks from time to time and energize. It can be any bright fragment - it doesn't matter if it's a piece of art or a pillow.

Sensual design
Anti-trend : looking for a resource outside
Trend : creating our own world inside
Two years ago the world was noisy and changing outside the walls of the apartment. We received 95% of our impressions in it, giving most of our home time to sleep. Now many people work remotely, staying within four walls for days, and the whole world sometimes shrinks to the size of an apartment. The good news is that humans are plastic. By adapting to the situation, he creates a world inside the house, filling it with many details.
The trend now is sensual design, creating your own world with a set of details, where both textures and smells play an important role. Olfactory design that works with these sensory channels is also within the competence of the decorator.

We get family crystal
Anti-trend : things that are not about you
Trend : every thing can be useful and can give emotions
Czech crystal was a sign of status in the USSR. Such utensils stood in the sideboard behind glass, they were taken out only to brag to the guests. The function of the crystal was not in use, but in the message "we are no worse than a neighbor." Those years are long gone, but the mood has lingered in a strange way: Russian people still love status items and decorative elements that do not bring any benefit.
Outgoing trend - polished interior, as from the cover. Empty and standard, but looking expensive. Or the other extreme: a lot of things, crystal, mosaics, one decor on top of another, visual noise.
Both of these extremes show that it is not the person who lives in this interior that dictates the rules here. And fears about what others will think.
Today's slogan: things for man. It is the things you love that will make your life happier. If you like crystal, feel free to use it every day. And from things that are neither useful nor joyful, it is worth getting rid of. The choice of decor elements is checked very simply: they must support the psychological and emotional state of the apartment owners.

Anti-trend : replicas from Aliexpress
Trend : vintage and unique works of domestic designers 90 and in 2021, Italian interior items could carry a whole year. Now the products of many Western companies are not available due to sanctions. This leads to forced import substitution - people are increasingly turning to Aliexpress for fakes of famous brands.
But such solutions reduce the cost of the interior in the same way that a low-quality fake of expensive branded clothing reduces the cost of the owner's appearance.
Now there is an opportunity to make the interior truly unique by contacting modern Russian companies. Forced import substitution has benefited many of them, stimulating development.
For a long time, decorators had Zara Home, HM Home, IKEA on the one hand, and overly expensive decor items on the other. Last year, young Russian designers, applied artists, ceramists, and artists finally began to fill the price middle. Everything they do is usually of excellent quality. These works bring a completely different meaning and atmosphere to the interior, even if combined with objects from the mass market.
The quality of a thing made by hand or found from a junk dealer is strikingly different from that bought on Aliexpress. It is enough to put these items side by side - and the choice will be obvious.
Today, from traveling around the country and the former republics, people bring wonderful things, the same Uzbek carpets.
Here, again, a decorator is useful, able to structure the existing details of the interior and competently fit ethnicity into it.

A word to the decorator
Anti-trend : you just make me a good repair, and I will buy things myself
Trend : invite a decorator when you want better changes, but it’s not clear where to start
Gradually people learn about the existence of decorators, but so far mostly do not know how to use their services, do not understand how these specialists can help and make life easier. A big part of a decorator's job is to analyze the space and remove what we call visual noise as much as possible.
Endless vases donated by relatives, magnets, random items, coming from nowhere. We are well aware of this feature of human nature: it is difficult to part with things, and here a decorator comes to the rescue. Who is also a bit of a psychologist. It is important to explain and show how it is possible in a different way.
