A new season is always exciting. It’s time for you to update your home decor trends in 2023. A new year means new beginnings. Just like how you update your wardrobe with new accessories or shoes, interiors also need a little refresh.
As we all love, our homes are constantly changing. As with fashion trends for the season, emerging home decor trends encourage us to change our homes rather than completely redesign them.
There are many simple ways to make your space more modern for the new year, including living room trends, wallpaper trends, and paint trends.
It’s not surprising that the 2023 trends on your radar are about creating happy memories and bringing people together. Recycled materials and thoughtful products are crucial to sustainability.
Here are the top 10 things to watch out for in 2023.
1. Entertaining at home
Entertaining family and friends are back to normal. Sarah O’Sullivan, Partner and Home Product Designer at John Lewis (opens in new tab). “We have seen a rise in sales of tableware sets, including dining tables and benches.
Matt Siberry, Head Of Home at Pinterest UK (opens in new tab), agrees. He has noticed a 25 percent increase in Pinterest searches for ‘dining tables’. He explains that people will cook to share meals.
There’s no better time than now to make your home more modern. Now is the perfect time to get some new modern living room ideas.
2. Comfort core
We saw fluid lines and snug materials in 2022. This trend will continue into 2023, focusing on coziness and soft furniture. Sarah O’Sullivan and John Lewis say we will see serene and relaxing spaces made from beautiful natural materials and textures. “Boucle isn’t going anywhere!”
For furniture and lighting, spherical shapes and rounded edges are trendy. These shapes can be stunning pieces, even though they are naturally tranquil.
“After more than two decades of turbulence, we’re looking at our homes for comfort and reprieve,” says Wayfair‘s resident style adviser, Nadia McCowan Hill. “Drawing moments to calm from whisper-soft colors and curved cocoon forms. Comfort will be the key to 2023.
3.Viva Magenta
Pantone announced the Color of the Year for 2023 (Pantone18-1750). We love this bold and bright choice. The crimson-red color is believed to represent courage, joy, resilience, and out-of-the-box thinking that will create a better world.
Leatrice Eiseman is the Executive Director of Pantone. ‘Viva Magenta is a descendant of the red family and is inspired by cochineal, one the most precious natural dye families, as well as one the strongest and best-known dyes in the world.
4.Dark and textured worktops
It’s been all about light, neutral kitchens, and matching kitchen countertops. But this year, black and dark-colored surfaces are making a comeback. These dark worktops can be used with colored cabinets to create a dramatic contrast to a white or neutral kitchen.
Do you need help with all-black? Consider a slab splashback or worktop in rich ebony with chalky-white lines for a natural marble-inspired look.
‘Dark, matt surfaces that add depth and texture are growing in popularity,’ says Mor Krisher, head of design at Caesarstone(opens in new tab). “In recent months, we have seen an increasing number of customers choosing dark surfaces,” says Mor Krisher, head of design at Caesarstone.
5. Multifunctional spare rooms
During the pandemic, bedrooms were transformed into offices. However, for 2023, we will install desks in our spare bedrooms and living spaces.
Matt says that Matt’s home office and spare bedroom have been modified once more due to many returning to work. The extra room will be multifunctional this year. Searches for “home office with couch bed” have increased by 70% compared to last year. This will allow visitors to come from far away while still being able to work in the home.
A growing number of dressing tables can be used as desks in bedrooms. Kate Usher, the Senior Trend Advisor at (opens in new tab), states that hideaway work desks can be a great choice. With a curtain or pocket door, you can close off your office space at night to increase calm.
6. Flawsome
This trend’s name is clueful. It is all about sustainability, taking what we love and reusing it. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for secondhand furniture or just giving your old pieces a new home. It’s all about taking what is good and making it better.
“As we move into 2023, we expect that decorating with sustainability in mind will remain prevalent,” says Maryanne Cartwright (opens in new tab).
Interiors will embrace Flawsome, a design style that celebrates imperfections and gives them new life. Modern interior design will reflect this idea of combining the old and the new and reworking pre-loved materials.
7.Sociable spaces
The living room will see more time indoors and more emphasis on entertaining and socializing. We’ll be much bolder this year in our interior choices.
Trend Bible’s Kate Usher says there will be many styles in the living room of 2023. However, one thing is sure: We’ll see more individualism and confidence. People will feel less judged and create a space that’s purely theirs.
This means that you don’t have to match every piece. Matt Siberry, Pinterest’s founder, says they will also change the place people can relax. This allows them to rejig it easily depending on the occasion.
Modular sofas are also becoming more popular over the past year due to their versatility and ability to be used for lounging together. Sarah O’Sullivan from John Lewis says modular sofas offer additional seating, making them great for hosting guests. “Our living rooms should be comfortable, and they can help us relax and unwind. But without sacrificing style or personality.
8.Insta-worthy rooms
With the advent of platforms like Instagram, interiors have become bolder and more daring. But for 2023, we are seeing a trend to embrace the bold and design unique schemes that reflect your personality.
According to Carpetright (opens in new tab), “bold, eye-catching and packed with color and pattern. The Instaworthy trend mixes the unexpected with the traditional and gets away with that!”
This interior shows the impact of color clashing, pattern mixing, and bold design you can expect this year. Let this trend inspire you to be proactive with your choices and indulge in the things you love.
9. Waves
We have seen the demand for scalloped shapes rise in 2022. We are happy to report that this trend is not going away and will continue to evolve in 2023. Wave shapes and sea colors are new to the market. These waves can be found on everything, from lamp bases and furniture legs to cushion motifs and table tops.
You can add some soothing blue and green ocean colors to create a modern scheme that is both calming and perfect for welcoming in the new year.
10. Bathroom retreats
Over the past year, wellness has become a big buzzword. With that comes more people wanting to retreat to their private space to practice self-care. And what better place than your bathroom to do this?
Matt Siberry, Pinterest’s founder, says that the shower will continue the trend of people wanting to create a tropical retreat at home. People look for inspiration in “luxury showers” or “body mist”.
What about bathroom decor? What are bathroom trends for 2023? Sarah O’Sullivan, John Lewis’s Sarah, says you can add personality to your bathroom by changing accessories and loo roll holders.
“As fixtures and fittings go, we will see less use of chrome finishes. Matt black finishes are the modern way to compliment bold colors. Soft brushed gold is also a great complement to natural beige colors. Kate says that colored sinks are making a comeback but in more attractive finishes than the shiny metal/enamel pedestals of years past.
What will be the top decorating trend in 2023?
As we reconnect with the world around us, this year’s key decorating trend is to be bolder and more expressive than ever. Bolder color choices, more patterns, and mixing styles are good ideas. Find joy in the unexpected.
Sustainability will continue to be a top priority for people in 2023. Make informed decisions when you update your home. Be bold and reuse, recycle, and reimagining items that may seem outdated.
