2023 Decoration Trends

Hand-Sculpted Textures

The pandemic has robbed us of one of our most human senses: touch. In response, it will become increasingly important for designers to use materials that add tactility to interior design. As interest in sustainability continues, a focus on handmade craft products will become more widespread on a global scale. We will see much more of hand-formed, clay-like materials, primarily lightweight, relatively affordable and energy-efficient plasterboard. Due to its appealing tactility, we are seeing high street retailers and high-end brands starting to work with plasterboard in lighting and décor elements. Expect to see it in vases, mirror frames, table lamps and even furniture.

Belts

Circular door frames, thresholds, and ceilings will be on trend in 2023. Arches evoke the old world architectural period and bring a sense of timelessness and softness to any space. Since the Renaissance, niches and recesses have been favored to highlight works of art, especially sculpture, and these unique architectural features are seeing renewed interest. In addition to displaying decor, these spaces can become customizable, functional nooks. Regardless of their size, arches will highlight the decor and furniture within.

Transparent Touches

Lace, tulle and sparkling ruffles will dominate the fashion scene in 2023. While transparent and lightly colored transparent and see-through objects will come to the fore in decoration, it is predicted that the trend will show itself with a glass brick attack in architecture. Get ready to see alabaster lighting everywhere in the next stage.

Shiny Wood

As the era of matte birch plywood comes to an end, bright and densely patterned woods such as walnut, cherry and red oak, which give a polished look and a rich feel, will be seen more in interiors in 2023.

Whether used in wallpaper and paint or in textiles, stripes create a bolder perception than other patterns. They are high-contrast design elements that we will see frequently in 2023 with their thin-thick, vertical-horizontal, straight-curved, black & white – colored variations.

Dark Dramatic Tones

Trend experts argue that dramatic atmospheres created with a dark color palette will come to the fore in 2023. Moody Houses, shaped with dark and aristocratic materials such as velvet, wenge, and walnut, have a color palette ranging from mustard yellows to olive green and navy blue. With a contemporary touch, such interiors can be both memorable and quite livable.

The Positive Power of Curves

Curved forms, knotted or circular designs spread positive vibrations into the space they enter, increasing the happiness quotient. While designers continue to shape their works by taking advantage of the optimistic aura of the “Curvalicious” trend in their 2023 collections, graphic patterns and striking colors stand out in style codes. As people change their homes, they move away from straight and simple lines and turn to modernist curves. Crescent sofas, tulip and egg-shaped chairs, and circular rugs will gradually become the center of attention.

The Return of Art Deco

As interiors move away from the absolutes of minimalism, we are seeing a renewed interest in more decorative styles such as Art Deco. This avant-garde art movement, which emerged in France and is seen in the architecture of the 1920s, frequently features symmetrical patterns and metallic details. Flower pots with different shapes, bright and detailed lampshades and fringed curtains are the leading pieces of this style, while the harmony created by contrasting colored objects will increase our energy.

Wellness Focused Approaches

In 2023, decoration touches designed to feel good and that support healthy living, from sleep quality to awareness, will be at the forefront. An environment designed to facilitate healthy living can make a big difference. For example, natural light can improve our sleep patterns, focus and mood, and helps our bodies produce vitamin D. While a calm color palette, accessories that increase the energy of the space and enveloping forms stand out among the reflections of the wellness trend in decoration, Feng Shui, Wabi-Sabi, Ikigai and Japandi philosophies are guiding.

Inspiration from Nature

The theme of incorporating nature into interior elements will continue to be prevalent in finishes and hardware. The use of logs for tables and coffee tables, large-scale plants, and natural stone flooring are all things that feed our souls. We’ll continue to see soft greens and calming blues as the boundaries between indoors and out blur.

Bold And Colorful

Neutral palettes may be timeless, but after years of beige dominance, design professionals and consumers are moving away from monochromatic and muted spaces. This year, we’re focusing on maximalist fabrics, accessories, and rich layers of color to express our personality and style. In 2022, the preferred accent colors will be fuchsia pink, a turquoise-like hue called Tranquil Blue, and Pantone’s marine blue Verdigris, dark cabernet red, and the prominent shades of green such as Emerald and Sage. When combining these colors, the warm neutrals of the 90s and the soothing pastel tones will be complementary.

Upcycling And Simple Living

Due to the depleting natural resources and climate crisis, it is predicted that the actions of reusing the old by transforming it, evaluating family heirlooms, and purchasing upcycled designs will increase even more in 2023. The new generation Z prefers a simple life arithmetic that is free of excess in their homes. Being able to tell the story of a piece of furniture will be a great topic of conversation for you to have fun with your friends and family.

Nostalgic Winds

The Coastal Grandma ‘Grandma Chic’ wave that started in 2022 is evolving towards a more sophisticated style. Nostalgic breezes that quickly entered the fashion world and played a determining role in everything from hairstyles to makeup trends will add a poetic touch to interiors. We will see more ornaments in window and curtain applications, from fringes to decorative cornices in curtains. Pastoral patterns, black and white artwork, wallpapers and many more details seem to be eye-catching with the positive emotional effect of nostalgia. Using the memories of your family elders in your home decoration, visiting auctions and antique markets, and thinking about passing on your special pieces to the next generation will be good for your soul.

Maximalist Minimalism

Instead of the prints and patterns of yesteryear’s maximalist style, we’ll see more streamlined sculptural silhouettes. You can mix similar color or material groups with complementary forms of different heights to create compositions. The neutral, perfect rooms in inspiring visuals will give way to more intimate spaces featuring personal collections, unique art pieces, and a mix of old and new furniture. We’ve seen so much minimalism in the last few years that those who are tired of this calmness want warmth, depth, and character in their living spaces.

Micro Luxury

Over the past few years, many of us have been spending more time at home, changing the way we view our spaces both aesthetically and functionally. As pandemic panic subsides and economic concerns persist, the way we think about our homes in 2023 will take shape accordingly. The interest in healthy living, natural materials, and revitalizing experiences is making it imperative to take care of ourselves and nature. The desire to have fun with our interiors and create a more personalized space will see interesting wallpapers and colorful sofas replace blank walls and beige furniture. Whatever your style, interiors will become even more welcoming in 2023 with bold paints, textured materials, and layered textiles.

As you reduce the number and size of items, showiness and attention-grabbing increases. This trend, which is also budget-friendly, will be on the rise in 2023. Gold-colored faucets, decorative frames, framed mirrors, marble decorative objects… You should definitely meet this style that combines the logic of less items and more showiness!
