Seems almost unbelievable, but we are already in the second month of 2023. It’s time to look ahead to the rest of the year’s interior learnings- what colour palettes will trend, what type of furnishings will rule the market, and what designs will likely be revived.
We have compiled a list of the impactful interior trends of 2023 suggested by interior designers that can help you get ideas to decorate or redesign your apartments.
Make Your Home a Masterpiece with These 8 Trending Decor Ideas
Below are some inspiring interior trends of 2023 that you will see everywhere.
1. Earthy Colours – Browns, Pinks, and Deep Reds
Minimalism with earthy tones is here to have its moment in the world of interiors. They add depth to your interiors, whether rich browns or deep reds with neutral colours.
Becky Shea, an NYC-based interior designer, said, “Burgundy and deep cabernet reds hues are something I feel strongly about making an impact in 2023”.
So, different combinations of warm whites, browns, rust and caramel, mauve, pink, and reds will dominate home interiors this season.
2. Eco-Conscious Furnishings
Many do not favour the excessive use of fossil fuel and petroleum-based materials like shiny and hard plastics. Conscious consumers now look for more sustainable options that are natural, subtle, and elegant with any interior design.
Kathy Kuo, an interior design expert and founder of Kathy Kuo Home, said consumers would prefer to design “super-chic and upscale” spaces while making them “feel in harmony with the natural world".
So, you can expect a turnaround from synthetic materials like acrylic to layered organic textures in 2023, making the interiors look more serene.
Additionally, with sustainable interiors being a priority, consumers will choose elements like wood, bamboo, cotton, linoleum, etc., for textiles, flooring, and furniture.
3. Eye-catching Kitchen Spaces
Kitchens will not remain a bland, featureless part of the house anymore. As we go ahead in 2023, kitchen interiors are more likely to become bold and vibrant. So, don’t be surprised if yesterday’s white neutral kitchen cabinets become wooden, green, or blue colours.
According to a New York-based interior designer Emma Beryl Kemper, people who like plain interiors can still opt for little bold changes.
For instance, if you have an all-white or grey kitchen interior, go for coloured cabinets or change the countertops. You can also add splashes of bold colour by accessorising your kitchen with utensils, pottery, paintings, or even books.
4. Organized and Decorated Laundry Rooms
If you are changing the interiors of your home, know that your laundry room deserves better.
In 2023, many consumers are likely to prefer a pretty-looking laundry room with rich patterned details, neutral or bold colour palettes, shimmery finishes, and even a few quirky accessories.
So, if you plan to execute this trend in your interiors, ensure that you have suitable storage baskets that match the interiors and keep the clothes organised.
5. Mono-room Fabrics
This year, a big trend in interiors would be using a single-colour fabric for everything in a room – bedsheets, pillows, cushions, table cloth and even lamps. Though you may think the trend is a bit lazy, it creates an elegant, serene, and chic look.
To create monochromatic room interiors for your home, paint the trim to match the wall colour. No more white trims and ceilings. Choose bold colours and make the monochrome room look more impactful.
As Sarah Solis, a notable interior designer, says, you can also create “monochromatic colour schemes through layered textures and textiles in a variety of similar tones”.
6. Multi-Purpose Interiors
The growing number of compact spaces and smaller flats have resulted in this 2023 interiors trend. Consumers in 2023 look for rooms that serve multiple purposes. Hence, Alexandra Aquadro of AGA Interior Design stresses the significance of creating flexible and purposeful interiors.
According to Alexandra, “A kitchen isn't just a kitchen; it's a place for entertaining”, and it becomes a homework station on weekdays. Alexandra owns a multi-purpose studio that serves as an office space, a pop-up, and an events space as well.
Thus, it is a great and wise idea if can create interiors for spaces to serve multiple functions.
7. At-Home Oases
This is one of the most interesting interior trends of 2023 that kind of shows the impact of the 2020 pandemic on people.
This year consumers will look up to creating vacation-like spaces at home for their weekend retreats. Expect a break from the monochromes for an area that instils a sense of escape for the travel-lovers.
So, if you are a travel freak, this interior trend is definitely for you. Create a space to evoke wanderlust, add a splash of colours and accessorise with your post-pandemic travel stuff – photos and memorable paraphernalia from your travel destinations.
8. Biophilia Reconfigured
Until 2022 plants were a part of our interiors, and consumers added a lot of green elements to their spaces – from statement plants to different botanical patterns. But now this interior design is slightly changing.
In 2023, consumers will opt for “more irregular and imperfect greenery instead of lush nature”, says Smecker, an interior design expert. “This interiors trend will celebrate mossy greens, mineral shades, desert landscapes, and raw and unfinished textures”.
More and more sustainable brands are discussing and researching biodiversity. They are developing fabrics from rose stems and even orange skins. In short, brands are trying to harmonise with the different elements of nature, and so are our consumers.
Maybe not in 2023, but soon, we will see most of our décor being dictated by our compost bins.
Final Note
While a few trends in 2023 make up for the lost years when we couldn’t have family gatherings, others are focused on living in harmony with nature. Overall, these interior trends will surely bring a holistic experience to homes.
