7 Interior Design Trends to Spice Up Your Home in 2023
2023 is the year of reblooming after a long, cold hibernation. Over the past few years, we have turned more towards functionality and simplicity, but, this year, we are filling our homes with color, texture, and ambiance—bringing our spaces back to life.
The environments we put ourselves in can have a drastic impact on our mental health. Many of them we can't predict, but the home is one of the few spaces we have complete control over. During the pandemic, many people opted for more serene and minimalistic designs in order to create a relaxing habitat they could live in 24/7. Over the past three years, as we've been able to socialize and host our friends again, there is more design experimentation happening. We are seeing bold colors, a wide variety of patterns, and new art filling the walls. If you are looking to spruce up your home, whether it's just adding a new piece of art or painting your walls, follow some of the newest interior design trends down below.
Bold, Saturated Colors
Color, color, color. One of the most powerful design tools we can use to uplift our homes and create happy environments for ourselves and our families. You can start slow, by just adding a pillow with a pop of red or a blanket with orange stripes. No matter what, adding a bit of color will inevitably make you smile.
Vintage Signatures
Fast furniture is out and secondhand furniture is in. Over-produced pieces are cheaply made (yet somehow more expensive), and why would you want something that so many other people own anyway? By shopping at vintage shops or through private designers, you are guaranteed unique, one-of-a-kind fixtures.
Textured Wallpaper
We have been seeing more people who choose to keep their furniture minimalistic while accessorizing with daring wallpaper. If you don't feel like renovating an entire room, wallpaper can be a great way to freshen it up.
Ambient Lighting
Lighting can be triggering to many people, and it can make all the difference between a relaxing or sterile environment. Ambient light at night is especially important when creating a comfortable space for yourself. Try turning off the main ceiling light and adding a few smaller lamps around the room.
Eccentric Pattern Combinations
There is a lot of fear around mixing too many patterns, but there is a way to do it without overdoing it. An easy place to start is by creating a mood board with all of your favorite colors, patterns, and pieces of furniture. This way, you can visualize all of the components together in one place. Your dream home will slowly start coming together as you experiment.
Earthy Spaces
If you're not a fan of the bold and patterned, this is the trend for you. Taking inspiration from the natural world around you can be a great way to make your space unique yet also calming. Browns and tans are perfect for accentuating that spa-like feeling.
Alternative Visual Art
Artwork can be the best and simplest way to change up a room's atmosphere. Not only can it be a beautiful thing that covers your walls, but it can also be an amazing way to support new, upcoming artists.
