10 interior design trends that will shape our spaces in 2023 |
With a focus on enduring materials, sustainability and design pieces with permanence, the latest interior design trends for 2023 are anything but fashionable fads.
Of course, the very nature of trends is that they are ever-changing and developing, but the overall feeling for interior design in 2023 is curating an adaptable, comfortable, and inspiring space that can both stand the test of time as well as be at one with your identity and style.
Our edit of the 2023 interior design trends focuses on both the fresh ideas brought forward by designers as well as the long-lasting styles and influences that consistently remain at the heart of interior design.
We cover everything from color to shape, material to styling in our round-up of the top ten biggest interior design trends for 2023 and beyond...
1. The influence of the natural world

It's fair to say, that one of the biggest inspirations for many when it comes to interior design is the beauty of the natural world. From color palettes rooted in nature to the warmth of wood and the durability of natural stone, establishing an indoor-outdoor feel in the home can be both calming and relaxed and uplifting and energizing simultaneously.
Chris Pask, director at Charlton Brown says, 'our attachment to the great outdoors has increased in the post-pandemic era and we are seeing this translate into the world of interior design. Clients are increasingly looking for a greater connection to the outdoors, whether that is a literal connection via roof terraces, balconies and beautifully landscaped gardens, or more subtle nods to greenery and nature throughout the home. This can take the form of colors, materials and shapes that mimic those found in nature and are known to invoke a sense of calm.'
Beautifully shown in this small bathroom by Jamie Haller , the House of Hackney Zeus wallpaper perfectly complements the original dark wood features and creates an immersive, indoor-outdoor look that feels classic and modern all at once.
2. Layered lighting

Piero de Marchis, director at Detail Lighting says, 'homeowners are paying far more attention to the way spaces in the home make us feel, as well as their function. Our homes are having to work harder for us than ever before, with an increase in spaces having multiple functions. From open-plan living areas to kitchen-dining zones, the trend for installing multifunctional lighting that can be adapted to suit the room as it’s being used is set to continue to rise.'
Gone are the days of simply turning on the 'big light', 2023 lighting trends prioritize using a combination of various light sources in a space. From welcoming pools of light created through cozy table lamps and floor lamps to practical task lighting in a kitchen or study, the right use of layered lighting can transform the mood and atmosphere in a room, and ultimately, help us use our spaces better.
In terms of styles and lighting looks, Ed O'Donnell, co-founder of Angel O'Donnell says, 'arresting silhouettes and unusual materials will conspire to create increasingly imaginative lighting and statement pieces that’ll create strong focal points in the home.

3. Plenty of textural elements

Using texture in interior design will be at the forefront of our decorating decisions in 2023.
More and more of us want to create a home filled with cossetting and cocooning exuberance, and quite simply, without texture, a space will fall flat, it is the perfect way to add depth, dimension, and decadence to a room.
This room by Heidi Caillier Design is abundant with texture and feels wonderfully welcoming and warm. From the mix of materials used across the furniture, from fabric to leather, to the wooden paneling, striped rug, and sheer curtains, the design is rich in cozy character and depth.
4. Seek out sustainable options

Mor Krisher, head of design at Caesarstone says, 'as designers we need to be the ambassadors of sustainability and the design community should be on the front line of this issue. If we don’t design with sustainability in mind, then consumers won’t have the ability to purchase sustainable products.
'
Sustainable interior design is now more important than ever, and brands, designers and consumers alike are united in producing and consuming products that are better for the environment. From investment pieces built to last to products created through recyclable and renewable materials, sustainability is no mere trend in the world of interiors, rather, it is the start of an important new era of thoughtful design.
5. Curves and arches

‘Edges delimit and mark out a space – avoiding them enlarges the inhabitants’ freedom,’ says designer Patricia Urquiola .
Sharp angles have been making their way out of homes for a while, starting with upholstery and moving through to surfaces and architectural details. Now, organic curves and fluid forms are taking center stage in everything from lighting to sofa trends and more.
Smooth, rounded edges and curvaceous forms can create a more 'soft' look in a space, helping a room to look and feel more welcoming, relaxing and comfortable.
In this dining room, elegantly framed by an arched entrance, the large, oval wooden dining table establishes an engaging and inviting gathering point in the space, with the Carl Hansen Wishbone Chairs beautifully mirroring the tables' curves.
6. Warming neutrals

The extensive use of gray and beige are amongst some of the worst trends of 2022 and one of the interior design trends we are quiet-quitting for 2023.
Instead, paint trends and color trends are moving towards more warming and earthy colors in the home, with palettes of pale pinks, soft yellows, and cozy browns working wonderfully as refreshing, new neutrals.
Interior designer Natalia Miyar says, 'delicate pinks, soft neutrals and warm browns are great to use if you want to achieve a natural, modern and uncluttered aesthetic, and they make any room feel cozy and comforting.
These colors can be used as accents in furnishing or the dominant color throughout a scheme.
I find that the shades work best when paired together, as their warm undertones create a sense of cohesion between each color.'

Interior design powerhouse Studio McGee takes us through why statement stoneware is one of their top trends to look forward to in 2023.
'We love good veining and deep contrast in stone, and we’re excited to see more of this trend in 2023. We’ll see this in a variety of ways, from the stone itself – less common ones like soapstone and travertine, as well as contrasting pairings of stone in one space – to the way it’s utilized. It’s all about maximalism, a design trend in and of itself.'
The beauty of natural materials such as travertine and marble is undeniably timeless. Most commonly used for bathroom ideas and kitchen ideas, 2023 will see statement stoneware used across the home, from sculptural stone side tables in a bedroom to a stand-out marble fireplace in a living room.
8. A union of the old with the new

Alfred Newall says, 'design trends are ever-changing, but the way we make furniture is centuries old. My hope is that we marry the modern with the traditional.’
As we cast our minds back for the sense of comfort and assurance that familiarity brings, 2023 will see us breathing new life into historic pieces and uniting styles of the past with design trends of the present.
Charlie Bowles, director at Original BTC says, 'nostalgia has been a huge influence in the way people style their interiors. Social media has led to a resurgence of decade-related trends like brass fittings, unexpected pops of color and creative shapes. Mid-century styles mixed in with modern pieces give spaces a comfortably lived-in look.'
From decorating with antiques and shopping pre-loved furniture to embracing the revival of 70s decor across furniture trends, using an eclectic mix of the old and the new will only make for a home that feels more unique, characterful and authentic.
9.
Color confidence(Image credit: Salvesen Graham)
With Pantone revealing their color of the year 2023 as Viva Magenta, and other brands, such as Benjamin Moore , listing their color of the year as Raspberry Blush , this celebration of bold and impactful shades of red embodies how 2023 is the year for color confidence and for embracing more unconventional and striking room color ideas.
'The past few years have dramatically changed people’s approach to their interiors and we are seeing consumers really finding their own sense of color confidence in their homes,' says Ruth Mottershead creative director at Little Greene .
Whether you make a statement with ceiling paint ideas or use the color wheel to curate a space rich with elegant contrast, beautifully shown in the living room above by Salvesen Graham , your home is a canvas upon which to decorate with the colors that bring you joy and happiness.

With thoughtful, sustainable design a key focus for 2023, as well as a nod to more nostalgic designs, these 'trends' will not only lead to us shopping more responsibly, but it will also see a rise in 'shopping small', and celebrating handmade, artisan designs and craftsmanship from all over the world.
The shopping experts at the ethical home retailer, The Citizenry , support this and say, 'in dissent from the uber-minimalist trend popular in recent years, consumers are shifting to a more eclectic collector’s approach to designing their spaces. Looking forward, this year, we predict consumers moving towards a more decadent, collected home. From Parisian opulence to Mediterranean layering, we expect to see an overlap with maximalism in terms of influence from other cultures this year.'
Through rough forms and rustic, handcrafted objects connected to ceremony, history and travels far and wide, we will turn (back) to a more slow, mindful living and ritualistic life.
Is gray out of style for 2023?
Gray is an incredibly versatile neutral color, and when used correctly, can work wonderfully in homes of all styles and ages, but, as the popular saying goes, too much of a good thing can sometimes become bad, and this is exactly what happened with the decorating with gray phenomenon.
Using too much of one color, such as a neutral like gray, can create spaces that feel cold and lifeless. When working with certain neutrals, we need accent colors and elements of contrast to make the space feel rich with character and depth. As we have discussed, we are moving towards a new era of neutrals, with gray and beige being replaced with more warming and interesting colors such as pink, yellow and even green.
As Martin Waller, founder of Andrew Martin says, ‘green is the new gray. The austerity of the gray, taupe age is over. It’s the age of all things emerald, lime, forest, pistachio, jade and sage in everything from wall colors, fabrics, cushions, headboards, rugs and curtains.'
Gray room ideas will never be out of style, they just need to be done right.
Are accent walls out of style for 2023?
Accent wall ideas are very much here to stay in 2023.
From beautiful wallpaper ideas inspired by the latest wallpaper trends, to a striking gallery wall, an accent wall can inject color, vibrancy and visual interest into a space.
One of the most popular ways to create an accent wall is through paint. From a simple block-color design to magnificent wall mural ideas, an accent wall can be a chance to truly get creative with color and artistic design.
Andy Greenall, creative director at Paint & Paper Library supports this and says, 'both consumers and designers are turning to color combinations that add drama and intrigue to a space, from neutrals in graduating shades which flow between rooms, to more dramatic color pairings.'
31 key decor ideas for the year |
Interior design trends for 2023 are vast and varied. There are some new colors, new textures and new materials, but most importantly, there are new moods. Most of the moods tend to revolve around a spa-like sense of serenity, or a fun and patterned decorative boost of joy.
"How people want to decorate has recently shifted," says the designer Lee Broom . "For a start, we’re all craving a better outlook, and part of achieving that is to condition your own brain to think more positively, which you can do by surrounding yourself with things that make you feel happy.
Cocktail cabinets that move and rotate, furniture that’s geared towards sitting together and being convivial, anything that is a bit playful and glamorous and dramatic."
This desire has filtered out and been interpreted in many different ways. From the lamps that make flexible living super-easy to the soft colors, shown above, that enhance relaxation and add joy here are the interior design trends we think will be biggest in 2023 and beyond.
The interior designer Tara Bernerd believes that there is a general move to sophistication, but it's a more relaxed take on sophistication than ever before. "While that feeling of luxury remains very important, don’t we now all want something that feels approachable, too?" Tara says.
"That you can walk around barefoot in and not feel worried about? I find that people still want their spaces to feel grand, but while we might turn the volume up in the living room with some real wow design, we’ll then do a chic media room where the materials and textures are less formal, more edgy, more comfortable.
This totally reflects what’s happening generally, as people are finding they can be just as smart without a tie, and women have largely swapped their heels for trainers."
1. Cylindrical chandeliers
(Image credit: AGO Lighting)
The latest lighting forms take inspiration from oblong shapes, casting targeted and tantalising glows. In fact, you could call them tubular belles. Why this shape, and why now? It's because they're playful and polished, flexible, and finessed, a striking statement with a curvaceous silhouette.
They also funnel light, creating the ideal glow for how we want to live now - warm and flattering and sociable. 'My favorite trend is the use of statement lighting pieces that can be used as both a functional and decorative element,' says the interior designer Nina Magon . Lighting trends generally would imply that the era of the big light is over, that wall and floor lamps are the most important now. But the targeted way this shape creates light means if you have to have a big central light, then it has to be tubularly shaped.

It comes in many colors - from dark black to this warm terracotta - so you're bound to find one that works. The U-shaped wall light version is appealing, too.
2. Gold-edged ceramics

Designers and makers are warming minimalist palettes slightly with just a hint of a Midas touch. A functioning lemon squeezer, but make it art? We’ve come a long way from the iconic Philippe Starck Juciy Salif to reach this pretty and perfect hand-painted ceramic offering. Shown above, part of a collection by Feldspar brings just the right amount of bling to the table, while remaining subtly pretty, too.
It's an approach being utilized by Jo Davies and Pinto too, folding perfectly into the minimalism in interior design vibe we all crave so much right now. “Minimalist living is not only about having a clean home, it is also about celebrating nature and authenticity,” say Hélène Pinaud of Heju Studio.
“So we are not afraid to incorporate artisanal, vintage and homemade objects and furniture but always in a quiet, neutral palette." Just a touch of elevation to the everyday, but not enough it creates any visual noise.

The entire Feldspar collection - from mugs to pitchers to lemon squeezers - is available here, and blends beautifully into a modern, minimalist home.
3. Aluminum

This easily recycled metal has been upgraded from drinks cans to some of the most covetable design around, as part of a bigger movement for designers to reappraise more sustainable means. 'Rough and smooth, shiny and matte, black and white - we want [to use] a lot of materials to avoid too much monotony,' says Tom Dixon , who has used it for lightweight chairs. MDF Italia has fashioned a bench from it and New York-based designers Workstead using aluminum in a lighting collection.
Consisting of a pendant and sconce design, the sleek minimal forms showcase the beauty of the material in its purity, creating a perfect backdrop for the light to reflect off. Understated, yet commanding attention, we love the contrast between the soft conical silhouettes and the industrial edge of the waxed aluminium itself. Less of a juxtaposition and more of a happy marriage.

As a design studio, Workstead's project often appear in Livingetc. Its products are no exception, and this seemingly simple aluminum shade offers just a flash of metallic gleam.
4. Decorative storage boxes
(Image credit: Trove)
If there's one big mood happening in design for 2023 it's about paring back, seeking to live more minimally, and finding ways out interiors can make us feel calm.
So step forward the micro-trend for decorative storage boxes, a way to clear the clutter while still having a bit more personality then a clear glass Kilner jar.
We're seeing artisans, designers and our favorite brands create them, but the Sidekick has to be the best. Elegantly finished with a glossy lacquer, The Sidekick storage boxes by Trove add a touch of joyful elegance to the dressing table. Made to complement the larger storage trunks designed by the Australian brand, these are perfect for small jewellery accessories such as cufflinks and rings. Contemporary and color-blocked, these storage boxes are not to be hidden.

In a kaleidoscope of on-trend colors the Sidekick boxes are pretty enough to have out on display, yet clean-lined enough that they still feel relatively calm.
5. Curvaceous Cabinetry

More storage, and this time in a much bigger way. And it's going seriously sexy as tidying up never looked so good. The other side of the same coin as those decorative storage boxes, these cabinets are more evidence of the quest to just put everything away and live in an uncluttered space.
Of course, not all storage is to hide your stuff in, and these wet bar cabinets are a way to get the party started. 'Organic shapes are just very inviting' says the designer Bryan O'Sullivan , who regularly uses curves in his schemes. Here, the 88 Secrets Bar Cabinet by Scarlet Splendour brings the glamor with its nod to Italian design aesthetics paired with opulent rose metal details and a sumptuous palette. Handcrafted in Kolkata, this will elevate your entertaining game, providing a space from which to prepare and serve drinks to guests. Customisable finishes are available so you can create a truly individual piece.
6. Golden tones

Shimmering like sunsets, this pleasantly warm and flaxen hue is elevating interiors with a touch of pure luxe. Bethan Gray has used it on furniture, Arflex have it on chairs and it makes a shimmering splash on this wallpaper from Kirkby, who has teamed with global fashion house Eley Kishimito for this collection.
'‘Whether it’s a little dash of retro Hollywood chic on a brass cocktail trolley, a beautiful abstract chunk of metal for a coffee table or some judicious use of gold leaf or paint, gold screams glamor,' says Patrick O'Donnell , color consultant at Farrow & Ball.

Not only is this full of luxe scent notes like amber, sandalwood and vanilla but its wrapped in 24 karat hot gold. An easy and sensual way to nod to this trend while truly treating yourself.
7. Convivial seating

Furniture designers have spotted the opportunity to bring people back together again, and this new era in furniture design sees a selection of seating options which are all about encouraging the art of in-person conversation.
The Vis-à-Vis by Philippe Nigrofor Ligne Roset is a prime example.
With its matt black lacquered frame and boldly blue upholstery, it is curvaceous, contemporary and offers two people the opportunity to sit separately, but with the feeling they are still next to each other. 'The shape of a curved sofa is softer and less formal," explains the French designer Julien Villenueve . '[They] create an enveloping environment where all the family can sit together.'
8. Minimaluxe
(Image credit: Future/Matthew Williamson)
A pared back palette that allows the showcasing of your favorite things, minimaluxe is set to take over the design world. It's characterised by soft textures, shapes and colors, and a sense of airiness and light.
Of his apartment in New York, above, stylist Colin King says 'the window are deliberately left unadorned so the space doesn't look too "decorated."' And that desire for simplicity coupled with a space you want to curl up in with your most treasured objets is what minimaluxe is all about.
9. Pure white lamps

This new lighting trend is all about stripping out colour completely, emphasising shape instead. 'We love monochrome spaces,' says Chelsea Reale of design studio Sissy + Marley. 'Especially in smaller settings as it gives your eyes the chance to flow through the space without interruption.'
The 642 Visier Lamp, shown above, made out of aluminum and painted in a cool white hue, is a perfect example of this interior design trend. It is arguably not just a lamp, but a piece of sculpture too. Looking a little like it’s coming in to land (clear a space on that sideboard!), we reckon this is futuristic investment piece will stand the test of time.
10. Heritage tiles

Reclaimed or vintage-inspired, the archive patterned aesthetic is more popular than ever.
Missing the Mediterranean? That's the joy of this heavily decorative approach to bathroom tile trends - you can bring a touch of it home.
‘Decorative tiles are perhaps the biggest trend at the moment as they give the opportunity to inject some creativity and personality to the room,’ says Richard Fox , a senior designer at Ripples. Referencing the antique tiles of Southern Spain, seek out the patina and colors that reflecting those of original reclaimed tiles. Use independently or pair with single color tiles for a more understated aesthetic.
11. Wall lights taking center stage
(Image credit: Stephan Julliard)
Superstar designer Tom Dixon recently told Livingetc about the importance of ‘light washing’, using bulbs cleverly to cover your walls in light rather than just beaming down on them from on high. 'Careful positioning of wall lighting is very important to create the right atmosphere,' says Katie McCrum , the interior designer behind London-based McCrum Studio.
And it isn't coincidence that wall lights are becoming ever more sculptural, scene stealing, sensational and stellar. First Laura Gonzalez was a true highlight (or should that be eye-level light?) at Paris Deco Off with her Bosphore ceramic wall lights, above.
Then brands like Contardi debuted sculptural wall lights that look like works of art. Wall light are now stars in their own right, just hanging a little lower than you might expect. See our edit of these perfect wall lights.
12. Contemporary curtain trims
(Image credit: Samuel & Sons)
It’s happening - we’re adopting curtain trims at Livingetc. Previously having been discounted as too trad, the brilliant Samuel and Sons has changed all that with its super-contemporary approach to tassels, adornments and finishing touches. ‘I’m drawn to handcrafted details – whether it be an embroidered pattern, hand-quilted panels or even a scalloped leading edge on the drapes,’ says designer Julia King of Studio Roene.
The brand designs a whirl of iridescent hues that totally transform a room, and we’re drawn to the new Elora border, its swirls twisting up this curtain, adding a flash of unexpectedly modern decoration that elevate even the dullest corner. Trims! As a curtain trend! Who would have thought it?
13.
Hideaway home offices(Image credit: Another Country)
Hide the work day away with as smart WFH stations are now being disguised. To the unassuming eye they'll look like a drinks cabinet, or a writing bureau, or perhaps an armoire. But what they hide is all your work stresses and strains and papers and bits.
High end design brands like Porada are creating them, and for a sleek, contemporary take on a classic bureau, the Davenport by David Irwin for Another Country is beautiful in its simplicity. It is a complete home office in slices of pale solid oak furnished only with three surreptitious brass handles. Gone is the traditional angled front, adding enough space within for a computer screen, and inside you’ll find hidden compartments, a pin board, and cable storage. Plus, it doubles as a bar for after work drinks.
14. Bold borders
(Image credit: Susie Atkinson)
There is clearly a decorative vibe in the air, as while trims are big news in curtains (see above), borders are back, adding accents to living room color trends.
And they’re no longer confined to lying horizontally across a wall, this time it’s a lot more free-spirited – think bending around woodwork or breaking up segments of space. Studio Atkinson’s first range of wallpaper borders comprises five modernised classic patterns ready to roam the room in vivid colors and unexpected scales.
15. Alfresco showering all year round
(Image credit: CP Hart)
Ever since Gwyneth Paltrow debuted her home spa to the world earlier this year designers have been thinking of new ways to fold this feeling into decor. The materials, the textures, the steam rooms...and now, the return of the outdoor shower, for an invigorating blast first thing.
And there’s no need to miss a mere moment of warmth as bathroom trends join the season’s open-air lifestyle. C. P Hart’s Luminous Tiles are happy on walls inside and out, weather resistant and durable to suit the most inclement of summers. Their au-natural palette harmonises with backyard materials and colors, while their high-gloss finish accentuates every sunbeam.
And to be practical: 'Copper and brass are the best material for outside use,' says Adam at CopperManCo, the shower design brand on Etsy.
16. Luxe outdoor lighting
(Image credit: Ethimo)
As we all want to spend more and more time in our backyard, it's no wonder the trend for luxe lighting has come outside with us. “Outdoor lighting prevents our outside spaces seeming like dark black holes when viewed from inside the house,” says garden designer Kate Gould .
The Lucerna Lamp, a design by Luca Nichetto, is the latest outdoor accessory to adorn tabletops this summer, from the Italian outdoor design specialists Ethimo. But this is no ordinary outdoor garden lamp. It’s chic, it’s contemporary, and it’s fully on board with this ‘new luxury’ vibe - products which embody a little of both the past and the future, in their makeup.
17. Wickerwork
(Image credit: GUBI)
Wickerwork is particularly useful when it comes to outdoor furniture.
It has the home spun porch decor vibe we're all craving now, yet in a more elevated way. The Bohemian 72 Collection, was first designed - as the name infers - in 1972 by renowned Italian designer Gabriella Crespi. Her original designs have become synonymous with celebrity and now - if you can even find a piece - command seriously juicy prices (Google at your peril).
However, now Gubi is teaming up with Archivo Crespi to put the collection back into production. With a small edit of products to choose from, including the Lounge Chair, above, 3 Seater Sofa, Ottoman, and Lamp, each piece is constructed from the trunk of rattan and represents all that’s cool about 1970s wickerwork design.
18. Irregular rugs
(Image credit: A Rum Fellow)
Irregular rugs are striking designs that undoubtedly have all been created to own the floor. Not only do these living room rugs have an eye-catching print, they’re also all shaping a new outline in design, quite literally, as they all sport an unconventional shape.
'Now we are seeing a massive uptick in rugs of bright colors, especially abstracts and florals,' says Chris Bond , director of The Rug Retailer. 'Seems people have had enough of playing it safe.'
Whether you’re going curvy, geometric, or angular, these top sports all boast a little bit of ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking, and we’re ready to embrace it.
A particular favourite of ours is the Mala rug, seen above, by A Rum Fellow.
19. Plumped-up seating
(Image credit: Arflex)
Designers are demonstrating how a more relaxed style of seating designs can combine comfort factor and everyday practicality, but with high-level refinement and ultimate style-desirability. It’s the Italian makers who are leading the way with this look. Bontempi Casa, Edra and Arflex all embracing curves as the newest chair and sofa trend.
Above is the Marenco Outdoor, a revised edition of the original Mario Marenco design, by Italian design brand Arflex. Available in an armchair, two-seater, three-seater and pouf, it’s a celebratory piece for Arflex as it marks 50 years since the first Marenco model hit the furniture design scene.
And it would also look drop-dead gorgeous in living rooms too.
20. Ocean hues
(Image credit: Sanderson)
Echoing the reassuring color of the sea, aqua is set to be one of the hottest shades of the season. 'One of my favorite colors is blue in all his shades,' says Dirk Jan Kinet , a Flemish interior designer living in Mexico. 'I feel like a prince when been wrapped in Wedgwood blue but a cool lover in cobalt.' Opt in with larger pieces of furniture wrapped in oceanic tones, or hone in on smaller accessory items if you just want a cooling shot of blue-green brilliance.
Named after the spiky perennial plant, the Yucca wallpaper design, above, from Sanderson offers a striking stripe pattern for walls. It is available in four tempting colorways – we are sold on the sky/green but there is also botanical green, grey/ silver, and charcoal/gold. Using special surface inks, the wallpapers shimmer in the light and offer eye-catching color for walls.
21. Night sky minerals
Collection Grande Marble Look in Sodalite Blu, Marazzi

There’s a magical new material trend on the horizon and it’s awash with galaxy inspired finishes.
Dark blue, veined with white and pale blue streaks is popping up everywhere, from this vanity unit, above, to luxury table tops. Defying anyone not to leap out of their beds in the morning Marazzi’s show stopping vanity unit created in a ‘Sodalite Blu’ hue is a feat of engineering. The ceramic brand’s ‘Collection Grande Marble’ replicates the intricate qualities and veinings of marble using slimline porcelain, allowing for the grand impression of weighty slabs with efficient lightweight properties.
While teaming a deep blue Lapislazzuli marble top with an artistically forged bronzed brass base, Poliform’s Ilda side table is the essence of the rustic-luxe look we are all loving. It’s sold as a coffee table but don’t you think it’s jewelled navy hue inspires the perfect bedroom night-cap?

22. Contemporary Trompe L'oeil
(Image credit: Bonaldo)
Meaning literally ‘deceive the eye’, trompe l’oeil is an artistic device or conceit that has been in the artistic landscape for centuries - part demonstration of an artist’s skill, part delight for the viewer.
It adds a bit of unexpected humor to the home, a talking point that will make both you and guests marvel with amusement, something that folds nicely into current living room trends.
Bonaldo’s New Perspective Mirror, above, plays with depth and perspective, giving the illusion of a room beyond the mirror and leaving space for the imagination of the person standing before it. The lines that decorate it are drawn freehand directly on the reflective surface and naively re-produce an additional environment than the reflected one.
23. Arches

When we designed the Arch tile collection for Bert and May, we sensed that arches were just around the corner, so to speak. And it seems we were right. Arched doors have become big news in architecture trends for extensions and renovations, and the gentle curves are softening the hardened edges that have proliferated for so long.
"Harking back to Roman times, arches feel very contemporary all of a sudden," says Livingetc editor Pip Rich .
"I'm excited to use our Livingetc tiles from Bert and May in my own bathroom renovation in 2023, as they add a grandeur while remaining friendly at the same time. You can't help but relax in a space with curved edges."
24. Colored concrete

Bathroom trends at the moment are very much about injecting personality while keeping to a monastic sense of spa-like serenity, which is where concrete comes in. The vivid hues it now comes in, coupled with the texture and depth it provides, makes it the perfect material for this space. ‘Adding color to enhance concrete’s appearance is gathering momentum as the next logical progression for the material,’ confirms Gus Colley , owner and MD of artisan concrete company Concreations.
In fact, colored concrete is having a moment more generally. Seen in kitchen sink trends, on the exterior of extensions and used on floors, it is becoming the design world's favorite material.
Architect Ben Allen likes it for how robust it is. "Because the pigment runs all the way through, if it chips, the marks don't show up," he says.
25. Cork flooring
(Image credit: Urbane Living)
Forget those 1970s connotations of orange cork tiles, cork flooring is back, and better than ever. Because of its eco credentials and the ease of sourcing it sustainably, it's actually one of the key flooring trends for 2022, available in a variety of hues. 'Cork always adds a note of warmth to a scheme,' says the interior designer Staffan Tollgard .
Cork has natural thermal properties which means it is great for heat insulation and can be a much cheaper alternative to underfloor heating. Which means that its eco points don't stop being collected at just the way it's made. ‘It means a reduction in energy usage and utility bills,’ says Silvi Stoyanova , consultant for flooring company Bricoflor.
26. Portable table lamps
(Image credit: Louis Poulsen)
Let’s be honest, there never was much of an allure attached to the shelf tagged ‘USB lamp’ at the gadget store.
Luckily tastes and technology has moved on from the sometimes gimmicky, most often uninspiring rechargeable lighting solutions into an exciting realm of stylish must-have new portable lamp designs by our favourite brands on the market, reinvigorating lighting trends for 2022.
“Without cables acting as a pesky anchor, it’s no surprise cordless lamps have grown in popularity,' says Pooky founder Rohan Black . "Perched on a kitchen shelf as a piece to admire, placed in the bathroom to create a moody members club feel, styled as part of a dining table spread or taken out to your patio as the evenings draw in - with our new ways of living portable lamps provide that much needed all-round flexibility. ”

With its inherent warmth, red clay makes for a surprising twist on the more commonly seen white ceramics. Often red or ‘brown’ ceramics are associated with more coarse pottery, but there’s a finesse to this new wave of earthy vases and pieces, and an altogether contemporary stylistic edge, which make them avant-garde.
Look out for subtle curving forms, an unglazed finish, and an appealing handcrafted raw honesty, ideal to slot into your living room ideas.
28. Wavy wood

Kinked and curved, look out for the modern interpretation of the humblest of materials as a niche but appealing interior design trend for 2022. It’s a new wave. It’s time to banish straight-edged wooden furniture options in favour of the more fluid curvalicious form.
Max Depret , director of homeware at Mauvais Garcon, says, “The 1970's influence we've seen in fashion runways lately has clearly translated into the interior world, and we are very much inclined to see curves and colours coming back into our homes imminently. From trinket trays, vases, pillow cases, or our wavy mirror, look out for these extra pieces to bring out some je ne sais quoi to your home!”.
29. Glazed exterior tiles

Injecting a bright burst of colour that contrasts with traditional brickwork, glazed external tiles provide an eye-catching cladding solution for modern home extension ideas. This stylish finish comes with many practical benefits, too; it’s durable, requires little upkeep and offers an impressive service life of 150 plus years.
‘Glazed exteriors are unexpected and joyful, breaking the norms of London house refurbishments,’ says Melissa Beasley , director at Beasley Dickson Architects. ‘They satisfy the demand for decorative facades, providing an opportunity for a unique, crafted and personalised exterior.’
30. Cocooning furniture

Where home decor trends are concerned, cool cocooning has been gaining pace for a while growing rapidly for 2022. Squishy sofa trends, curvy shapes and snuggly fabrics are hot right now.
“There has been a shift in what customers are looking for some time now - more ‘homely’ comfort seating with deep cushions and more curves generally - a place to lay down as much as to sit,' says James Mair, Founder of Viaduct.
"Comfort, cocooning and creating one’s own world whether it is La Dolce Vita of the Italians or the hygge of the Danes is a key theme."
31. Mediterranean good vibes

Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana has been setting the style agenda for years. Cherry prints, gothic lace, and now blue and white good time vibes.
With its crisp yet classic color combination, Dolce & Gabbana's Blu Mediterraneo collection evokes the feeling of lazy summer holidays. Now you can enjoy it all year round thanks to pieces which make a statement but remain effortlessly chic. Take your pick from the beautifully crafted pieces including the Giacinto armchair, with its dark stained oak legs and chrome feet, the stylish Atena coffee table and the metal structured Era lamp set.
Or simply take them all.
What is the decorating trend for 2023?
There is one main decorating look coming in as a big trend for 2023, and it's for minimaluxe, or for every room to be so opulent that you can't help to be relaxed.
'The rooms I design have the sensibility of a spa,' says the interior designer Noa Santos. 'Natural materials like marble and stone work together to feel almost monatic, especially in soft neutral tones like creams and beiges.'
Materials to use for this look include marble, concrete and Taj Mahal quartzite. 'It still looks beautiful after plenty of wear, and means you don’t have to always be policing the use of coasters,' Noa says. 'I also like silver travertine, and we’re using a lot of limewash. It has the same softness and subtleties as Venetian plaster, but if Venetian plaster cracks you have to replace the whole thing. Limewash can easily be touched up, which is so refreshing from a design point of view. As is Tadelakt in a wet room.
Imagine all that time saved from not having to scrub grouting clean! Colorwise, we work with a lot of natural shades like ivory and beige, which feel more long lasting than jewel tones. Though I do love blue stone and a green marble called Guatemala Verde. It’s so dramatic.'
What is the color for 2023?
Paprika is the big color in 2023, and is set to be the most exciting interior design trend of the year. Brands like Galotti&Radice, Ethimo and Flexform showed paprika-colored designs recently, and it's a spicier take on terracotta that makes rooms feel warm and welcoming.
'Paprika works well with red-based browned and honeyed tones, which are both interior design trends in their own right,' says Livingetc's editor Pip Rich. 'They speak to a desire to have rooms feel like they're giving you a hug. My advice would be to paint walls a red-based brown, ceilings a honeyed amber and use paprika as furnishings. It's a brave look but will feel so sumptuous.'

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.
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.

Smart home
Now technologies are developing so rapidly that it is difficult to keep up with all the innovations.
Bodes studio social networks
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 ready to install a complex smart home system yet, start with local "assistants": a robot vacuum cleaner, remote-controlled curtains, water-saving faucets, multifunctional appliances, etc.
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.

Back into the past
An interesting parallel with the active use of new technologies is created by another, almost opposite trend - the design clearly traces back to the past.
Social media blogger daves_home
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.

Interior design trends in year 2 and 3 include materials. More precisely, the approach to their choice.
Tactility
Cartelle Design Social Media
The same minimalism has 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.
Regardless of direction, interiors are increasingly using:
- Natural materials - untreated or unpainted wood, unpolished stone, marble with natural chips, clay, coarse cotton, etc.
- Non-ideal geometric objects. For example, circles or ovals with irregularities or unequal angles.
- Any organics and handicrafts.

Sustainable design
Taupe Home studio social networks
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.
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.
Alexander &CO social networks
Therefore, every year unusual inventions appear at exhibitions. The priority is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, recyclable raw materials. For example:
- Mushroom mycelium skin instead of natural or synthetic.
- Alternatives to concrete from certain types of sand and certain types of plants. The production of such substitutes releases less carbon into the atmosphere.
- Seaweed or kombucha furniture.
- Cork for floor, wall, ceiling cladding.
- Non-standard use of materials - for example, facades made of recycled ceramic tiles or wood.
- 3D printed furniture, partitions, decor.

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

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.

Another color trend is any shades of precious materials or stones.
Social networks of designer Alina Tsaunya
All these are elegant, very noble and effective colors that add depth to the interior and make it more expensive. They look equally good in natural light from a window and under artificial lighting. In this "jewelry box" you can find options for basic finishes and bright accents.
So, pay attention to:
- Dense warm shades - gold, amber, bronze, ruby, jasper, carnelian, onyx.
- Cold tones - silver, malachite, azure, mother-of-pearl, quartz, obsidian, amethyst, sapphire.

Interior design trends in the new decade continue to evolve towards creating the most comfortable environment for a person, using natural materials, comfortable furniture, pastel shades and much more.
Interior design trends in 2023
Interiors designed in a particular style are gradually fading into the background, now personalization prevails. It is in fashion to transform living spaces, according to lifestyle and personal comfort. Because most people live and work in an urban environment, the tangible feeling of a forest or grassland is lost. Therefore, many of us seek to find peace in the midst of noise. Hence the need for natural elements: traditional wood, stone, an abundance of light sources, groups of green plants - everything that reminds of nature.
Interior styles
Personal space decoration can usually tell a lot about the owner. For a modern person, his house is a real source of strength and inspiration, so the atmosphere should fully correspond to the lifestyle. In the new decade, individual approach will be increasingly in demand in residential interiors. Convenience and practicality also play an important role - the functional content of the interior should not only reflect the mood and character of the owners, but also improve their lifestyle.
Ecostyle
Residents of a metropolis often lack natural aesthetics. Ecostyle returns to nature and characterizes biophilia - love for nature. Most people strive to create the most calm and comfortable interior for themselves, while using as many sources of natural light as possible (large windows, lots of mirrors), sometimes choosing light garden furniture instead of massive furniture for living rooms and dining rooms, decorating living spaces with indoor plants.
You can form a green oasis at home with the help of stabilized moss and large living plants, and complement their composition in an unusual way - using tropical prints in the decor. The selected finishing materials are of natural origin - wood, stone, bamboo, concrete or cork.
Ecostyle welcomes such small details as wicker or earthenware, stone coasters, linen, silk or wool textiles. In other words, aesthetic consumption implies that we care where, by whom and how a chair or glass is made.
Mix of styles
In other words, when creating a modern style in the interior, rely on eclecticism. In this case, you no longer need to look for many identical chairs or cutlery. We need design not for everyone, but for everyone. The organization of living space is designed to combine different styles, textures and time. The favorites of this trend are oval shapes and smooth lines.
Eclecticism remains one of the most difficult styles, because when creating an interior it is sometimes difficult to keep the line between contrast and random use of different design elements that, at first glance, do not fit together at all. Here, it is best to follow the rule of combining no more than 3 styles.
It is better to observe a sense of proportion than to overload your interior and then experience psychological discomfort.
Natural materials, light shades and functional furnishings also remain companions of style. Furniture is selected ergonomic, compact size.
Minimalism
Minimalism in interior design is focused on maximum simplicity and clarity. People no longer tend to fill their home with unnecessary things. Only the necessary remains in the interior, which gives the development of that very aesthetics.
Such an interior can also be enriched with unusual finds, such as sculptural elements. But still, the peculiarity of this style lies in the use of restrained natural materials, giving a sense of space and light. For example, the design of the walls can be completely different: from textured plaster to wallpapering.
It is important and correct to choose a color combination without a pattern - white is suitable as a base, and graphic gray can serve as a contrast.
You can also combine glass, concrete or natural stone with a pronounced relief.
Neoclassical
Refined classic interior lines are always in trend. Neoclassicism, in comparison with classical design, is more concise, restrained and harmoniously combined with innovative approaches to creating functional housing. The interiors of neoclassical apartments also have luxury, elegance with a moderate amount of furniture and decor.
This style is ideal for large apartments with high ceilings and plenty of natural light. Neoclassicism implies a combination of calm tones (or a game of contrast), correct symmetrical proportions, the use of noble materials for decoration, an abundance of mirrors, elegant details and shapes, but not too lush and pretentious.

Photo: social networks Color in the interior
The first thing that forms the image of the interior is color. Today, fashion is accompanied by a feeling of lightness, which is transmitted to our living spaces. Modern technologies, cultural and economic factors, as well as environmental issues also affect our lives.
Expert paint brands offer a variety, from light pinks and field shades to deep blues and greens. But the most important thought remains the desire to strengthen human love for nature, forests and the ocean. The key colors of the 2023 season are the following shades:
- First Light - delicate pink, otherwise - the color of the morning sky.
Pink color in the interior is not losing ground. For the beginning of the next decade, the shade was not chosen by chance, it is intended to symbolize a new dawn of thinking and a bright perspective with a maximum optimistic view of the future.
In the interior, the shade looks great as a total dominant, use it to paint walls, floors or ceilings, and it can also be complemented with other colors as accents. The most interesting combination, according to world designers, is the combination of this shade with the favorite of the past years - gray-cold Metropolitan Grey.
Interior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networks- Back To Nature - light green shade.
"Return to Nature" has a positive effect on our well-being, the shade can reduce stress, increase creativity and improve problem-solving skills. This meadow-inspired color is often combined with pink in modern interiors. Such a tandem is ideal for decorating a living room - the shades create a lively, effective combination.
Using trendy green to decorate the living room, designers transform the space in many ways: paint the walls or add pink or green furniture as accents.
If you have an idea that you might get bored with such a range, then we recommend taking a neutral base as a basis, in the future this will help to complement the interior only with decor in trendy colors, which over time can be easily replaced.
- Neo Mint - new mint green.
One of the colors of the year is mint green, a delicate pastel color that truly brings freshness and lightness to the interior, and in combination with more complex shades makes the space come alive.
The psychological direction of the selected shade is connected with the emotional contradiction of modern people in the era of high technology. According to world designers, the mint color in the design of living spaces saturates with oxygen, contributes to the creation of harmony, tranquility, tranquility, and also combines science and technology with nature.
Shade can be used, for example, as an alternative to white - for walls, ceilings or to highlight certain surfaces.
Interior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networks- Adeline - dense bottle green.
Deep dark green also continues to be popular in a variety of interiors. Designers are united by the idea that fine art should shine in everyday interiors.
Dense green color is able to create a calm, natural atmosphere in the apartment, and due to its versatility, it is suitable for decorating almost any room. Especially if you combine this color with metal elements, then the interior will be filled with some drama.
A vertical wallpaper print with English floral patterns of primroses, chrysanthemums and roses is the perfect partner for the shade. Also a trendy solution can be called a combination of this shade with mint tones.
- Chinese Porcelain - deep blue shade "Chinese porcelain".
A deep, bold blue inspired by travel and history. At the same time, the shade brings closer to nature, the sea and the sky, creating an extraordinary calmness in every interior. Most designers suggest combining it with shiny textured wall surfaces or decor items.

The deep and earthy shade of yellow has been an absolute hit in magazines for several years now. It pairs well with bright colors as well as richer dark ones.
In the design of spaces, the shade reveals itself well as a base - as an unobtrusive background or can take on the role of an accent.
The best solution would be to use it to decorate a living room or kitchen, while supporting it with a combination of calm light shades and balancing with chocolate or gray furniture.
It is also possible to use the mustard shade in the interior in an absolutely unobtrusive way - in the form of upholstered furniture or as a separate decor. Furniture upholstery in this color looks aristocratic and gives the space some charm. Perhaps the most popular combination of gray and mustard is still in demand.
Interior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networks- Purist Blue - is a complex version of the basic blue.
A complex shade of base blue is also popular this year. It is versatile, but at the same time can be bright and creative. Cool blue-gray pairs beautifully with warm beige tones, as well as pinks, yellows, greens, whites and dark woods.
It looks good in traditional and modern classics, vintage style and is suitable both for painting walls and as furniture upholstery or curtains.
- Cassis — shade of black currant.
The shade of black currant looks great as both the main and accent tone in the interior. He is able to properly bring out the appeal of pink, as well as give depth to purple. It is best to use it to decorate the kitchen or living room, but in the bedroom, limit yourself to small decor items. The effect of enveloping and comfort is guaranteed.
Interior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networks- Cantaloupe
This shade can be described as a muted version of orange tones, both optimistic and uplifting.
Terracotta shade will be a real alternative to yellow, and can also serve as its complement. It goes equally well with calm gray, green or beige.
Looks interesting in a restrained living room interior, for example, if it has a leather sofa or armchairs, a certain note of optimism and a correctly placed accent immediately appears. It is quite possible for them to paint the interior of a children's room, hall or kitchen, and also be used in ceramics.
Interior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksMaterial trends
In the use of finishing materials, preference remains in favor of natural materials. World designers also recommend that when decorating spaces, pay maximum attention to soft fabrics and other materials that you want to touch. Tactility is another trend in the interiors of the new decade.
Marble, concrete or terrazzo do not lose ground - materials are used both for decoration and interior elements.
Marble is increasingly being used as flooring, window sills, and fireplaces. In the kitchen, countertops can be made from it, which, in addition to their impeccable appearance, have high wear resistance.
Terrazzo is a material made from fragments of marble, stone, glass, fastened together with lime. It is actively used to create countertops in the kitchen, suitable for furniture finishing. Concrete, on the other hand, is used in bathrooms - impregnated sinks and fonts immediately acquire an aesthetically unusual look.
Interior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networks Natural wood is the second actual natural material for finishing living spaces. Among the most popular species are ash, oak, walnut. Wood is suitable for finishing various surfaces, as well as for furniture. Recently, modern residential interiors have shown us wood as wall panels, successfully inscribed in various styles, for example, eco-style.
Glass in interiors is becoming more and more popular due to its "reflective" characteristics. This material is able to add light and space to the room, while not reducing the functionality of the interior atmosphere. In small rooms, it is worth using mirrors that will visually increase the area.
Interior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksMetal is a real asset for kitchens and bathrooms. A popular interior style - eclecticism - mixed materials. A mix of silver, gold and copper now show us the interior of a new level, while revealing its depth and volume.
Combine different colored metals with warm tones and wooden elements that will “melt” the extra cold a little. Such a strange, at first glance, combination will help to properly zone the spaces.
Fabric is selected as a multifunctional, lightweight material that will help transform and complement different interior spaces. The trend is suede, velvet, an abundance of fringe and tassels in the decor. Natural fibers such as silk, high-quality cotton, linen or wool are also a priority, as they are basically suitable for almost any style.
Perhaps the most important accent and at the same time an artistic object in any interior is the carpet. It can be very different, depending on the overall concept, both in oriental style, and more futuristic or neutral basic.

Arrangement of furniture is considered the final touch on the finish line of any interior.
In 2023, the concept of elegance and simplicity is gaining relevance - do not overload your interior with unnecessary furniture and useless things. A thoughtful minimum of objects will ultimately provide a feeling of free space in the premises. When choosing furniture, you should first of all take into account your lifestyle, your own concepts of beauty and comfort.
Furniture made of glass or transparent plastic is as relevant as last season. Tables, racks, shelves or bedside tables made of them are distinguished by some lightness, thereby not overloading the space. Vintage furniture is still in trend too. When choosing such a set, you should take into account the color, shape, and functionality that suits you - the furniture should be compact in size in order to occupy a minimum of space.
Interior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networks In the new season, the trend for art continues to flourish.
The use of antique and rare things with character, history and soul in the interiors is of increasing interest to modern man. The presence of paintings, unique figurines, old books, collections of dishes, sets of textiles in apartments, as a rule, always decorate the space in a special way.
Soaring structures, chandeliers and lamps add a special note to the interiors of 2023. Such an illusion of flight is created in various ways: with the help of supports hidden from the eyes, magnets, the use of LED lamps mounted in the base of the bed or headboard, table or rack.
Interior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksInterior design. Photo: social networksReview of an expert on interior design
Julia Boyko shares her opinion on interior design, interior designer:
« The new decade is a time of change for mix and variety.
Style in « pure » form is becoming less and less common, individualism is a trend. The apartment becomes a mirror, a combination of memories, attitudes and habits. Emotional design is what most people want to see. Therefore, the main style of 2023 can be called eclecticism.
Freedom in everything does not allow one to focus on one current. If it's Scandinavian style, minimalism, classic and art deco, where there are a lot of overloaded details, all this can get boring after a couple of years. Therefore, an eclectic approach helps to combine times and textures. Nowadays, it is no longer strange to see new furniture and items from the flea market, as well as items brought from travels, in the same interior. Such a mix is perceived with special interest, things add expressiveness and modulate the space, where it will be more pleasant to be.
Eclecticism is good because it can be very different, both « naive » design, simple in form, and « brilliant » postmodern.
Thus, different generations and lifestyles of people are connected.
Simple and understandable minimalism expands and gradually gives way to a minimalist interior filled with some kind of philosophy. That is, there is a certain transformation of minimalism into eclecticism. Usually it is a laconic, calm interior in restrained colors with a small amount of bright accents.
A mix of digital technology, a tattered book and a simple table, " Smart Appliances " and " Babushkin " Plaid - all fresh eclecticism. It tells us about individualization, the desire for which was formed as a result of the appearance of a large number of identical interiors - loft or scandi, stamped pieces of furniture. Now the mood has changed to the personalization of their space and the purity of forms.
When it comes to finishing materials, the wood trend remains timeless in interior design, it is always up-to-date.
A tree can be combined in absolutely different shapes and sizes, while individual elements can also be framed with it. It is interesting to supplement natural material with metals.
Key metals for decoration are: gold, brass and bronze. All shades of marble and travertine will also continue to please us and will be used both in the decoration of the bathroom and, for example, on the floor in the bedroom. Simple materials such as concrete, plywood, cork and rattan will contrast with the pomp of metal and marble. The move is tried and tested, but very modern. The terrazzo trend is no longer at the height of fashion, but will still hold its own in 2023.
Color combinations in interior design are welcomed in a variety of ways: from complex, rich and dramatic tones to soothing pastels. Also, two palettes - dark and light - will always find their adherents.
Institutes of color dictate their versions to us, but at the same time they are all united by one main idea - to connect man with nature.
