With a new year comes new trends. When it comes to homes, personal style and preferences are always important, but sometimes it can be difficult to even know what you want. Take some inspiration from others as you consider what you do and don’t want in your own home.
Whether you’re looking to freshen up your home or are having a home built, knowing the design trends that are on the horizon can be helpful. Here are the trends you’ll be seeing in 2023.
DEEP, EARTHY COLORS
In 2023, expect to see more greens and browns rather than neutrals like blacks and beiges. Brands have already begun to name their colors of the year for 2023, and these earthy picks include a deep forest green, a rosy yet neutral pink, and a terra-cotta hue. These earthy colors make sense as homes are steering toward incorporating nature.
INCORPORATING NATURE
Earth-toned walls, decor that’s made from wood and bamboo, natural sunlight, and bringing in more plants are all part of the overall trend of taking inspiration from the great outdoors.
This focus on connecting with nature inside the home is known as biophilic design. Incorporating these natural elements can make your home an inviting, soothing, and grounding place to be.
HOME OFFICES
Never was the convenience and importance of a home office clearer than during the COVID-19 pandemic. People quickly had to form makeshift home offices and find Zoom-ready walls. But now that remote work is here to stay for many, home offices are becoming more of a need than a want.
LARGE WINDOWS
As there’s a focus on bringing the outdoors indoors, large windows help blend the two together. Oversized windows have long been a trend and natural light will never be out of style. Big windows also help any size home feel more spacious. Plus, being able to let in natural light can help with heating your home during the winter.
ACCENT WALLS
Unique accent walls are very in, but instead of one bold color, homeowners are relying on fun patterns and textures and their own individual preferences. If you’re building a home, consider a wood, tile, or brick wall in your living space. Or, opt for a modern wallpaper or photo or art gallery. It’s a way to add visual interest without committing to just one color addition.
SUSTAINABILITY
Homes that are built with sustainability in mind continue to be popular — about half of home buyers are interested in sustainability.
Sustainability could mean utilizing solar energy, building with environmentally friendly materials, incorporating energy-efficient appliances, or all of these efforts combined.
CURVED SURFACES
Adding rounded elements to your home can add visual interest and create softness. Even if the architecture of your home doesn’t include curves like rounded walls, windows, and entryways, you can still experiment with this aesthetically pleasing trend.
Try out adding curved furniture and decor like chairs with rounded backs, oval mirrors, or circle rugs.
