Mudrooms and laundry rooms will get the designer treatment. As a result, homes will have the same air throughout, from the entryway to the most utilitarian of spaces. 2023’s interior design trends will certainly grace all corners of an interior. 

6. Maximize Natural Light

The more we know what benefits human functioning, the more we’ll see those elements in interiors – where possible. Natural light is one aspect magnified in current and coming designs. There’s a renewed focus on maximizing natural light with big, bare windows, whites, and reflective surfaces. And why not? Natural light can improve our sleep patterns, focus, and mood. Plus, it helps us produce vitamin D!

The coming year promises soft edges, dramatic accents, and comfortable pieces. Whatever your style, home décor trends are sure to make interiors even cozier in 2023. 

7. Return to Noir 

As spaces become more personalized and character-rich, we are encouraged to indulge in what design offers. Gothic design is one such tempting avenue. They are undeniably dramatic. But they also happen to be richly layered and fascinating. Plus, a gothic style brings more than dark hues. Sweeping curtains, arch mirrors, sculptures, and lavish chandeliers are commonplace.

And with a contemporary twist, such interiors can be both memorable and highly livable. The great thing is that you can add as much or as little drama as you want. Either way, there will be an impact – with or without black. 

8. Nostalgia-Infused

Interior design can bring comfort and coziness, unlike most. It can also conjure a sense of nostalgia. In 2022 we saw a wave of Coastal Grandma wash over interior design. All owing to the wonderfully tender feelings Nancy Meyer movies evoke. Similarly, the interior design and color trends of 2023 will play on nostalgia to conjure a pleasant, quaint air. Pastoral patterns and bucolic artwork are sure to add a poetic touch to interiors.

9. Yes to Curves

Arcs and rounded shapes have been making their way into interiors for a while now. Crescent sofas, tulip and egg chairs, and circular rugs took centerstage bit by bit. Now, 2023 home décor trends are moving on. Say hello to oblong mirrors, architectural details, and mushroom lighting. Cabinets, credenzas, and nightstands also have a curvier outlook for the future. 

10. Spotlight Alcoves 

Since the Renaissance, niches and alcoves were great for highlighting artwork, especially sculptures. However, these spaces turned into dust collectors as centuries ticked on. It’s no surprise that most modern-era buildings forewent their inclusion, but times are changing.

Nowadays, these unique architectural features are regaining traction. Plus, alcoves and niches can do more than showcase pretty décor. They become corners of function. They can be space-saving, add visual interest, or create a zen nook. Whatever their size, these snug spaces will emphasize décor and furniture within. 

11. Oversized Pendants

Experimenting with size, scale, and proportion can bring the most attractive results. Whether intentional or not, designers stumbled on creating oversized lights, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Not only does boldly sized lighting grab anyone’s attention, but they look exquisite in a similarly proportioned setting. After all, the result should give many interiors a designer edge in the coming years.

12. Perfect Imperfections  

When it comes to 2023 home decor trends, organic, handmade, and local are best. What this means for aesthetics is more unique and inimitable pieces. Raw yet refined quality is what the future of décor holds. Exquisite craft and vision will set décor and furniture apart as covetable and trendy.

Earthy and neutral. The warm but gentle gold will introduce a more organic version of sparkly metallics. It’s inspired by the richness of a golden hue as well as the groundedness of the sometimes sandy tone. Moreover, it resembles a desert’s beautiful landscapes at sunset. As such, it will fit any desert-modern aesthetic. It’ll also be a welcome alternative for, and complement to, traditional neutrals. 

14. Outdoor-Inspired

As green design grows, interiors are moving away from colors that feel too artificial. Hues are becoming gentler and easier on the eye. As a result, interiors flow seamlessly from and to their outer surroundings. Interior design trends of 2023 and years to come will certainly see many more outdoor-indoor blends.

Interior design color trends for 2023 are tranquil, without a doubt. Calming blue will make its way to interiors through a turquoise-like hue, Tranquil Blue. The soothing nature of the cool tone makes it great for spaces of serenity and calm. Studies, home offices, and meditation rooms are sure to splash out.  

16. Hybrid Blue-Green

Verdigris, Pantone’s teal-like hue, promises to rejuvenate interiors in the coming years. The name comes from pigments that form patina on copper. It’s a slight move from rich, true greens like emerald and basil, but just as ethereal. Besides, the green-blue blend brings the best of sea and land to spaces that need to foster focus or upliftment. 

17. Futuristic Lavender

Pantone’s color of the year may have a futuristic moniker, but it’s surprisingly approachable. Digital Lavender is a gentle purple pastel sure to invite freshness into any interior. It’ll be versatile too. The muted hue can also make 2023 home decor trends pop in an otherwise neutral setting. Additionally, it could be the main player in a boudoir as a wall color or bedsheets. 

18. Tiered Monochrome

Keeping furniture and décor muted will also define memorable spaces. A monochromatic interior could be in any one hue. It can feature slightly different shades of the main color, while textures and shapes create a visually interesting space. Tiered monochrome generates a peaceful and steady atmosphere.

Green Interior Design Trends 2023

2023’s eco-friendly interior design trends by Decorilla designer, Sonia C.

So many interior design trends of 2023 fall under sustainable or wellness interior design, which is why they need a section of their own. Unlike trends on their way out, these eco-friendly looks are sure to stay fresh for many years. 

19. From Outside In

Similar to how the outdoors influence indoor color palettes of the future, furniture design also reflects its setting. A building’s location, whether mountainous or arid, impacts its interior more than ever. Local products can dictate, in some part, the look and feel of furniture, decor and, ultimately, an interior. 

Wool, sheepskin, and wood, for instance, are readily available in a snowy environment. On the other hand, they won’t be as easy to find in the tropics. Many materials, from stone to fabrics, also are naturally more available in one area than in another. As a result, when people source locally and honor their natural environment, the interior is bound to follow. 

20. Wellness Flow 

A layout can make all the difference in an interior. Free flow movement is essential for a positive atmosphere. That’s why rethinking a room plan is crucial. Less is more, but not in a minimalistic sense. Instead, greater distance between zones and an improved traffic flow will get preference.

A positive layout is one of a number of interior design trends of 2023 influenced by the East. Feng shui, wabi-sabi, ikigai, and japandi aesthetics greatly impact interior design. Moreover, green practices also have roots in Asia. 

21. Indoor Gardening

By now, we know and love plants in interiors, but what will this constant favorite hold for the future? As indoor-outdoor living gains traction, the boundaries between the two blur even more. This can mean wilder and larger scale indoor plants as well as rockeries or gardens incorporated in a building’s structure. Redefined offices are sure to enjoy this trend too. 

22. Material Emphasis

Sustainable, recycled, and ethical are hot topics in every avenue of life, and 2023 home décor trends follow suit. Each year more homemakers and business owners learn about sustainable practices and what to opt for when it comes to the health of the planet.

As a result, trendy interiors look and feel different from those of the past. We’ll see an increase in green materials and organic surfaces in upcoming designs, from residential to commercial.

23. Purity in Interior Design

Placing more importance on sourcing and reusing what already exists is refining the shape of designs. More specifically, natural, clean lines will take precedence over more intricate alternatives. This, in turn, will also emphasize whatever ornamentation or detail exists within an interior. There is certainly balance in 2023 interior design trends as some lean to decoration while others to neat aesthetics.
