1. NATURAL MATERIALS
With a growing awareness of environmental issues, many designers are incorporating natural and sustainable materials into their designs. Expect to see more use of materials such as bamboo, cork, and jute in furniture, accessories, and even wall coverings. A shift from tile work to showpiece stone slabs in the spirit of letting the natural beauty shine – original modernism à la A. Loos is also expected, and a trend that promises to have staying power.

3. BOLD COLOR
After a year of spending more time indoors, many people are looking for ways to inject luscious colors and inspiring color into their homes. Expect a shift away from spaces with muted and neutral tones towards brighter, bolder colors such as jewel tones and saturated hues. While the Pantone color of the year is Viva Magenta, we’re seeing that for interiors, ‘23’s color is Ultramarine Blue for the cheery yet classic ambiance it sets. Try this saturated blue or another jewel tone on your cabinetry or mainspace walls.

Says Anne Hepfer, Interior Designer, Author of MOOD. This is in part to increasing sustainability awareness, but also an oversaturation of the stark minimalism and grieges aesthetic that has dominate the past decade. Throughout 2023, consider incorporating more traditional pieces touches to warm and personalize your spaces, while keeping them open and vibrant.
