When it was time to settle on their 2023 color of the year, Glidden paint by PPG asked consumers what they wanted to see in a new hue. Turns out they wanted a pop of color for those with more traditional tastes.
The result is Vining Ivy, a color that is not quite blue and not quite green. This deep teal will bring a feeling of calmness to any space, and its rich undertones make it a good choice for those who want a bold color that’s also sophisticated. The best part? It’s versatile!
“Consumers are seeking to simplify in this post-Covid era, as the past two years have shed a new light on the importance of serenity and little moments,” said Ashley McCollum, Glidden color expert. “Vining Ivy embodies this vibe perfectly. It is energizing yet grounding, and it works in literally any space. Its versatility takes the guesswork out of design, leaving consumers with more time to indulge in the things that matter most to them.”

And pairing it with gold accents such as door knobs, light fixtures, and furniture will bring a glamorous feel to your space.

For those not ready to go all in, Vining Ivy can bring new life to kitchen cabinets, make an accent wall pop, or freshen up the look of your front door.
“Even the most modest spaces can benefit from the teal treatment. For those short on square footage but big on style, we recommend using this rich hue as a bold contrast to a neutral palette, making a petite room feel plush,” McCollum said.

Foxfire Brown (PPG1069-6)
Stonehenge Greige (PPG1024-5)

“All kinds of trend topics are considered—from climate change to mental health—and emerging trend topics are then thoughtfully translated into defining colors and cohesive palettes,” the company noted in its press release.

Lore: Colors from the Lore palette are a representation of the world. These ancient reds, powdery pastels, and jeweled tones are, according to the website, “present in the very air we breathe, binding us together in a community of makers that spans centuries and crosses cultures.” For an unexpected look, try Serape, a muted orange, or Mineral Gray, which brings a warm, dramatic feel to a room.
Nexus: The Nexus palette represents our communal well-being. These colors reflect love and kindness, quiet and healing.
“Enkindle a sense of support and serenity with a potter’s palette of natural clays and sunbaked desert sands, grounding brown, and soft, soulful white.” Lei Flower, a deep coral, is the brightest hue in the palette which is mixed in among Cool Beige, Malted Milk, and Chatura Gray.
Origin: The Origin palette brings a joyful energy to the Terra Collection. For those looking for vibrant colors to enliven their space, these hues deliver; check out options including gold-yellow Goldfinich and not-quite maroon Peppery. A darkish blue, Indigo falls in a color family that never seems to go out of style.

“I use different shades of green and teal in every room. It can create a pop or serves as a backdrop for other colors to stand out.”
—Sarah Montgomery, Sarah Montgomery Design | Chicago
“A cozy mauve like Benjamin Moore’s Cashmere Wrap is a perfect example of a color that can flow throughout the home,” says Hudson, New York, designer Nicole Fisher. (Photo: Helena Palazzi)
Carrying color throughout the home.“Clients are still being adventurous with color. Instead of one bold room, we’re seeing it throughout. It’s about creating beauty in every space, not just one.”
—Nicole Fisher, BNR Interiors | Hudson, New York
“Blue and greens are our go-tos right now,” says Denver-based designer Andrea Schumacher. In this office she used a navy from Benjamin Moore to add rich color. (Photo: Roger Davies)
Looking beyond gray.
“We love color and always will. Gray is a trend we are definitely over. Instead, we use a lot of blues and greens.”

“Sophisticated and refined only begin to describe this room in Sherwin Williams’ Agreeable Gray,” says Los Angeles- and Orlando-based designer John McClain. (Photo: Lauren Pressy)
Using the “Fab Five.”“The neutral and classic combination of black, white, gray, green and brown will always provide the perfect pallet for every interior.
They are rooted in nature and therefore resonate with the core of humanity.”
—John McClain, John McClain Design | Los Angeles and Orlando
Silver throw pillows and drapes set off the blue lacquer walls in this room designed by New York designer Jamie Drake.
Pairing blue with silver.“Pale and mid-blue accents paired with white and silver resonate with so many. The popularity is because it is gender neutral, crisp and like fresh air.”
—Jamie Drake, Drake/Anderson | New York City
“From the kitchen to the bathroom to the living room, the color green is a strong player,” says Los Angeles designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who used Benjamin Moore’s Weeping Willow in this kitchen.
Going green.“Green in almost every shade is having the most amazing comeback. The richer shades like emerald and forest are really strong and will be here to stay for a while.”
—Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Martyn Lawrence Bullard | Los Angeles
Florida designer Sandra Asdourian set off a medium blue from Sherwin Williams with varying shades of the color and touches of white.

Mixing paint and texture.“In California, some clients are requesting whites, creams and beiges with a subtle amount of texture on the walls. This will require limewash or plaster to achieve the desired vibe. People really need a sense of calm at home, and this combination has a bright and airy, yet warm feel to it.”

Make way for purple.
“Purple is a color we’ve rarely seen used in bedroom designs, but we are expecting more of. Color psychology has proven purples are romantic, peaceful and luxurious. The buzz surrounding Digital Lavender as the 2023 Color of the Year has only reassured us that purple is a definite for 2023 design.”

Turn to timeless color combos.“The power of black next to white stands the test of time. Because they are both neutrals, the combination is bold and dramatic without being brash. Black can bring wow factor as a contrast window sash or passage door and can also highlight architectural detailing that would otherwise go unnoticed.”
—Emilie Munroe, Studio Munroe | San Francisco
White will never go out of style, but the key is to add pops of color for interest, advises Hillary Stamm.

“Clients are looking for a timeless elegance but with contrast and a touch of something that creates a special and unique look and space to call their own.”
—Hillary Stamm, HMS Interiors | Manhattan Beach, California
“While there is a time and place for quiet, neutral greige, we’re advocating for something a bit more opinionated—we look for color with a point of view,” notes Kathleen Walsh. This library in Greenwich, Connecticut features Benjamin Moore Symphony Blue. (Photo: John Bessler)
A new twist on brown and blue.“We’ve noted that brown and blue is slowly making a comeback. The combination allows us to easily mix antique and modern; however, it’s notably different than how we used in the ‘90s. We’re going way more saturated in the blues, picking up on deep complex hues for a more luminous, dynamic color.”
—Kathleen Walsh, Kathleen Walsh Interiors | New York, New York
“While neutrals can sometimes be seen as playing it safe, venturing into bolder shades keeps a room contemporary and dramatic,” notes Leslie Murphy.

“Heading into 2023, we’re really into darker and dramatic shades, such as deep charcoals and browns. These tones are not only elegant and upscale when complemented with tonal furnishings and accessories, but they bring a warm and comfortable feel to the space.”
—Leslie Murphy, Murphy Maude Interiors | Memphis, Tennessee
Sometimes, it all boils down to the basics, as San Francisco Noz Nozawa notes about pairing oranges and blues. This Victorian parlor features C2 Tortoise with burnishing and gold resin drip by Caroline Lizarraga. (Photo: Colin Price Photography)
Opposites attract.“Across all eras in design, I have always loved orange-red-brick tones and teal-blue tones together. From a color theory standpoint, these tones are perfect opposites on the color wheel; but I think there’s something so iconic about this pairing—from Southwestern indigenous jewelry pairing coral and turquoise stones together, to every Hot-and-Cold water faucet.
”
—Noz Nozawa, Noz Design | San Francisco

Pink is sticking around.“Dusty pinks, salmon, and taupes. These warm neutrals, in particular, really came up in the last couple of years or so, and I think are now considered mainstays. There is something so soothing about a dusty pink that also feels special and unique.”
—Susie Novak, Susie Novak Interiors | Oakland, California
Virginia Toledo likens the timelessness of neutrals and blacks to the appeal of a pair of cream linen pants or perfect little black dress. Here, a living space project features Benjamin Moore Winter White with Benjamin Moore Decorator White. (Photo: Jacob Snavely)
Play nice with neutrals.“Neutrals became the response to living with greige for so many years.
We find that these tones, paired with crisp whites and a dash of black, never go out of style.”
—Virginia Toledo, Toledo Geller | Franklin Lakes, New Jersey

The organizers discussed the theme of sustainable development in design and the main trends for the coming years. For an interior designer, it is important to be aware of the latest features and train your eyesight — this is how a unique and modern design is born.
Consider in the article what will be fashionable in 2022-2023.

Environmental
The first and main trend is environmental friendliness and naturalness. It is no longer new, but every year it is gaining momentum more and more. Particular attention is paid to the choice of recycled furniture.
On the agenda:
- monitor the reasonable consumption of materials in the interior,
- give preference to "healthy" pieces of furniture,
- choose natural elements.
Style
New and "warm" minimalism
The fashion for cool colors in minimalism is fading, so designers create coziness with the help of warm shades: sand, beige, cream, brown. Then the space becomes airy, weightless and neat. Interior items and individual details are combined with unusual architectural forms - rounded furniture, curved surfaces and soft outlines.
Retro
Yes, nostalgia for the old has not gone anywhere! Designers often turn to "old" patterns, knitted textiles, decorative pillows. If we talk about popular colors, the choice fell on turquoise, blue, blue and earthy shades. Actual "old furniture" rounded shape. It looks like it's time to get out grandma's chairs, tables, sofa and implement them into modern design.
Smart home
Technology does not stand still, and this is reflected in the design. “Smart” items are gaining more and more popularity: a bedside table with a speaker inside, built-in wireless charging or SMART glass.
Furniture
Cabinet furniture is the largest part of the interior, so it is worth introducing modular systems. Then it merges with the wall and becomes part of it. Storage doesn't look bulky and space is increased.
Organic, rounded shapes and modular systems will be relevant in upholstered furniture. If we talk about finishing, then Boucle fabric is in trend.
It has a loose structure, it is soft and pleasant to the touch. Mostly milky or white colors are used. Of course, it cannot be called practical, but it looks very stylish, for example, against the backdrop of a monochrome interior.
Materials
All organic materials are in trend: stone, metal, wood, concrete. Marble is also popular, especially the combination of two colors - black and white.
Naturalness is also in fashion, so the wood is used "natural", with knots and cracks. And concrete is laid as if "sloppy" to look natural and stylish.
Transparency is becoming a trend and is not considered "office" style. Glass partitions, frosted tables made of glass chips and large windows are actively installed.
Colors
More than 2-3 colors appear in the interior and the shades become more saturated. Great preference is given to green: in plumbing, furniture and decoration. This solution looks natural, charging and natural.
When it comes to print, black and white polka dots and unusual ornaments are back in fashion in 2022 and 2023. It can be a bright, interesting accent on the wall.
Turquoise, blue, blue, terracotta, beige, grey, white remain in fashion. But the main thing is to remember that muted shades are in trend. They are used in cabinet solutions and hanging furniture to create a harmonious space.
Designers and lovers of beautiful interiors, share your impressions: what do you think of the trends? Which one will you use? Maybe you have already applied trends?
Interior colors 2023 | Fashion Trends (85 photos)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Blue color in the interior 2023
Blue color in the 2023 season does not give up its positions and 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.
Blue is not only cool shades, but also warm ones, such as turquoise, purple and blue. By the way, turquoise shades are widely used for decorating bedrooms.
It is with this color that orange and yellow shades harmonize very well. 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.
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 for your bedroom, you can use various accessories 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.
What colors will be the most fashionable in the interior in 2023
Furnishings with different color solutions in 2023 will please 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.
Indeed, now there are a lot of stylish and original colors for interior decoration in 2023. Proponents of the classics will use various shades of pastel color in the interior this season.
Pleasant, soft, cozy, calm - these are the main characteristics of the presented color. It does not excite, does not strain eyesight, does not dispose to vigorous activity. People who choose pastel prefer to create, create beautiful images, surround themselves with pleasant things.
For such people, muted tones are suitable, which will soothe, create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. The rooms, decorated in pastel colors, are very romantic and gentle. They attract the eye and create a feeling of relaxation, as they are filled with light and air. The main characteristics of pastel colors are neutrality, grace, comfort and warmth, creating a calm atmosphere in the bedroom, living room or kitchen.
White color in the interior Designers advise betting on this shade as the base. The room in this color will look more airy, light and spacious. White walls and furniture will create a sense of order and cleanliness, refresh the interior, add contrast, give the texture of the room uniformity, divert attention from small details.
White tone, due to its versatility, is suitable for use in a variety of styles and directions of interior design as an additional or primary color.
If you want to bring the most fashionable colors of 2023 into your interior design, feel free to choose calm shades - cream, milky, peach, beige, champagne.
The restraint and clarity of white will help create a space where nothing will distract attention and cause irritation.
Plain white walls or an accent surface in this color look great, textile wallpaper with a bright pattern, frames with beautiful white or yellow prints, mirrors in a gilded frame, pictures in a baguette.
In the kitchen, white makes an impression when combined with solid brown, beige or golden furniture. In addition, with an orange textile tablecloth, black oilcloth on the table, beautiful chandeliers, white candles and massive furniture trimmed with mother-of-pearl inserts. In the kitchen area, you can use small white plastic cabinets with glass doors as a contrast to the interior and the color of the walls.
White sanitary ware, tiles and various accessories in the bathroom (white soap, bathrobes, towels with a white pattern) will create the necessary accents and make the room brighter. Thus, the white gamma is suitable for those who want to live in harmony with nature, who love cleanliness and order.
It is important to remember that the specified color has many disadvantages. It does not fit well with strict interiors and some colors. It is not recommended to use monochrome shades of white for decorating dining rooms, children's rooms, as it reduces the functionality of the premises, making the space too boring and nondescript.
Gray in the interior 2023
Gray is one of the most beautiful colors in interior design in 2023. The interior in gray is very popular not only in Russia, but all over the world. Psychologists recommend working with shades of gray a little differently than with other colors.
Gray scales are characterized by lightness, they are soft shades that give the interior harmony and tranquility. They do not excite, do not stimulate activity, unlike saturated colors.
At the same time, the gray shade may seem banal and boring if the interior is dominated by many other colors.
To prevent this from happening, the gray palette should be diluted and supplemented with bright shades.
The best option in 2023 will be beautiful designer wallpaper with floral patterns or a more neutral color scheme that will visually change the space.
When choosing a gray wallpaper for a living room or kitchen, remember that this color combination is not suitable for a bedroom or nursery. For such rooms, it is better to choose colors that will attract attention. Namely - green, red, blue, orange, all shades of blue.
Gray walls are perfectly combined with dark wood furnishings, fashion collections of Italian furniture. The gray shade will be appropriate in the decoration of the toilet and bathroom. Anything that gives off yellowness should be avoided, as this will make the room boring and inexpressive. Chameleon paint, tiles and other materials that imitate different shades of gray are used for walls.
If the red color will prevail in the room, then it should be in the form of wallpaper or on the surface of the furniture.
Intricate combinations of olive hue and blue will give the trendy interior of 2021 a cheerful character. This is a great solution for the living room. With the help of such a wonderful tandem, you can expand its size.
Do you want to create a bright color accent? Then use the most popular colors in the interior of 2023. A great way to give the atmosphere a touch of sophistication is the technique of the so-called contrast. At the same time, avoid combining blue with overly bright color palettes. This can destroy the space, because such a contrast carries aggressiveness.
Another way to add pops of color is to play with color. Using purple, green, orange and yellow undertones will create an inviting atmosphere.
At the same time, the interior should contain as many wooden elements as possible, which help to relax and unwind. Natural materials create a feeling of calm and lightness.
