We, the Mehraaz group, are here for this exciting style shift.
Interior Design Trends 2023
Moody Color
The design will go bold and moody in 2023, from cabinetry to wallpaper to furnishings. Dark colors have a reputation for making a space feel small. But when properly balanced and used with appropriate lighting, they can provide warmth and depth that light colors can’t consistently achieve. A powder room. For example, it is the perfect setting for dark textured linen or grass cloth wallpaper. For extra oomph and a luxe look, paint the trim a matching dark hue.
Adding a layer of chocolate will be one way to refresh a space in 2023 if you’ve already committed to the recent colorways of beige, blush, and rust. The color is not only cozy. But it has a luxurious note to it. An easy way to embrace this trend is by painting all four walls and the ceiling of a smaller room in chocolate brown for a warm and snug effect.
Blue Marble
Clients crave color but want something that also feels natural and organic. In 2023, we’ll see more blue marble, which keeps a space feeling light, fresh, and genuine. It looks great on countertops, floors, and around fireplaces.
Biophilic Design
We’ll highlight organic materials like plant life, woven grasses, and earthenware in décor, recognizing our innate draw to nature, fresh air, and living things. We’ve learned to appreciate the outdoors. I think we’ve found a new appreciation for nature’s beauty, color, and life. You don’t have to spend much money to add plant life, woven baskets, and pottery to your interiors. This trend requires a little consideration and care. But it can also be a meditative and rewarding process to cultivate living décor.
Vintage and Antique Pieces
Heritage pieces of the past will be trending in 2023, coming off the grand-millennial and coastal grandma wave we’ve been seeing. I love incorporating antiques and vintage patterns as they can create a poetic, maximalist feeling while cultivating a sense of charm that other design practices can sometimes lack.
Vintage pieces add a sense of heritage, authenticity, and character to a home. People want to blend aesthetics more than ever. And adding a vintage item is one way to achieve that mix. Rather than participating in the fast home furnishings cycle. We can use what already exists and reduce the additional waste that comes with a new piece, like manufacturing, shipping, and packaging materials. Art is the perfect way to tip-toe into integrating vintage.
Pattern Play
Pattern makes a space feel lived in and inviting while providing flexibility for accessorizing. For example, you can display a more significant pattern repeat on a focal point like wallpaper. Then play off that by adding layers to the room with smaller pattern repeats on things like pillows.
Bold Tile
Unique and bold tile will replace wallpaper as the statement piece in powder, mudrooms, and around fireplaces and bars in 2023. Especially floor-to-ceiling tile.
Colorful and Unique Kitchens
In 2023, people will take risks to make their kitchen a space that reflects their personality. There will be a shift from white kitchens to color and unique style. There are multiple ways to do this that don’t need to be expensive. For example, by simply switching out existing lighting, fixtures, or a backsplash.
Arches
A Renaissance architecture aesthetic is now returning to interior design. Applied to architecture, furniture design, and decorative elements.
Background Wall
A décor trend consequence of the pandemic times having one perfect statement wall, proper for video calls or recording content for the online world.
Cyberpunk / Digital Realism
The underground digital world is applied to interior design. It’ll be primarily seen in specific décor elements with bright neon colors.
Fungi Décor Trend
This will be a trending topic in the following interior design season for its iconic 70’s revival and whimsical effects. Applied in shapes or prints.
Luxury Monochromatic
For a minimal aesthetic, this décor trend will be an ongoing trend, with particular use for bathrooms and kitchens. With subtle golden accents.
Reinvented Heritage
A classic contemporary style mixed with iconic fashionable fabrics. This design trend brings a new movement for merging traditional décor with fashion design.
Luxe Outdoor Lighting
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.
The Lucerna Lamp is the latest outdoor accessory to adorn tabletops this summer from the Italian outdoor design specialist Ethimo. But this is no ordinary outdoor garden lamp. It’s chic, contemporary, and entirely on board with this ‘new luxury’ vibe products that embody a little of both the past and the future in their makeup.
More Energetic and Fun Color Palettes
Youngblood says that people are moving away from the ultra-minimalist look and want more color and energy. “Wallpaper is making its way back into the game. And we can’t wait to see it continue to rise in popularity in 2023.”
Soothing Pastels
While we might see a rise of deep and bold colors in 2023, specific spaces still call for a level of zen, which is where pastels come back in.
Because of the uncertainty in the world right now, homeowners are turning to patterns in soothing tones, trend expert Carol Miller of York Wallcoverings says. “These colorways are more watered down than a traditional pastel, creating a calming effect: think eucalyptus, mid-level blues, and our 2022 York color of the year, At First Blush, a soft pink.”
Bold Marble
More and more homeowners are incorporating bold statement pieces of marble in their kitchens to create a focal point and add a touch of drama, says designer Hilary Matt. “You can achieve this look with a bolder use of colors, unique veining styles, or both!”
Sleek Appliances (Interior Design Trends 2023)
Cabinetry and kitchen islands are statement pieces within the home, and consumers are opting for bold looks and wanting their appliances to compliment the overall design, says Andrews.
Induction cooktops and ranges are gaining traction because of their sleek look, safety, and efficiency. I recently renovated my dream home and installed a Wolf induction cooktop that looks great in the space and offers powerful performance.
Induction cooktops are becoming widely available in more traditional-looking ranges, like in this kitchen by Nicole White.
