What Are The Most Popular Home Design Trends In 2023

Home design trends for 2023 are truly promising something for everyone. This year, we can expect to see a selection of our usual favorites mixed with new, vibrant, and fresh designs in the months ahead.

From the soft, neutral palettes we've come to love to the resurgence of the 1970s fun and funky decor - there's something to satisfy every taste. 

In this blog, we'll walk you through some of the biggest interior design trends of the year with a focus on colors, floorings, window coverings, and kitchens. 

Let's dive right in!

Interior design trends for 2023 

Let’s start by taking a look at some of the leading interior design trends for the year ahead.

Sustainability 

Sustainability has been a fast-growing trend for the past number of years. As homeowners continue to become more aware of how their choice impacts the environment, they are taking steps toward reducing their carbon footprint as they create spaces they love.

This means using eco-friendly, natural materials, such as bamboo and cork, which will both be popular interior design trends for 2023.

Along with embracing materials from the natural world, we'll see a rise in furniture made from reclaimed or repurposed materials. We’ll also see an emphasis on energy-efficient lighting and appliances.

Antique furniture (holding onto history)

In 2023, the popular trend of breathing new life into old furniture takes center stage. Not only does this tie into the theme of sustainability, but it's a chance for once sought-after but now-neglected furniture items to get a second chance. 

Vintage and antique pieces, whether inherited from a loved one or thrifted, add so much character to a space and a slice of history that contemporary furniture just can't match.

Given these uncertain economic times, vintage furniture is an easy way to make your home look chic and trendy on a budget. 

‘70s revival 

Home design trends for 2023 are also set to be heavily influenced by the 1970s. 

Unlike the last five years' whites, grays, and soft hues, the 1970s takes inspiration from a varied color palette of beige, rust, avocado, harvest gold, mustard yellow, deep green, and earthy brown.

This modern interpretation of the 70s is about creating a cozy yet playful home full of personality and individuality. 

As we already know, we're seeing many people embrace antique furniture this year, so it makes sense that they might revisit pieces from the 1970s.

Color choices for 2023

After years of neutral, gray, and white colors, 2023 is shaking things up with bold, bright shades and sophisticated, moody hues.

Bold shades

It doesn't take an interior designer to tell you that natural and neutral tones have been popular for some time now. 

But in 2023, we'll see the return of bold and more vibrant colors. Expect to see tons of stunning magenta, sunshine yellow, rich red, lively orange, and unique shades of green. 

Moody hues

According to a Washington Post pool of leading interior designers, 15 participants cited a return to rich, dramatic color palettes as a top trend in 2023. We can expect moody shades such as deep, atmospheric purples, sands, maroons, creams, and chocolate browns.

New neutrals

Although bold and moody hues are expected to make a splash this year - it doesn't mean we are waving goodbye to earthy neutral shades entirely. Instead, we can be expected to see a refreshed palette of earthy browns, mushroom gray tones, and beige in all its hues.

Flooring

Your flooring is an important design element to consider, both for looks and practicality. Here are some popular flooring trends to keep an eye on in 2023. 

Versatile vinyl 

Vinyl is a versatile flooring choice that can be added to almost any room of your home, whether it's a bathroom, home office, gym, kitchen, or bedroom.

2022 was the year homeowners placed their misconceptions of vinyl behind them and embraced everything the durable, practical, and stylish flooring had to offer. In 2023, we can expect to see the popularity of vinyl continue to rise. 

Cozy carpet

Although it never truly goes out of style, carpet is set to see a resurgence in popularity this year. 

Carpet is the ideal, affordable flooring choice to achieve that special, cozy feel in your home, thanks to its softness, insulating, and sound-dampening properties. With a range of shades, textures, and blends to choose between - 2023 has a carpet for everyone.

Retro-inspired 

2023 is an exciting year for tile flooring trends, with many patterns designed to make a bold underfoot feature. 

Geometric and decorative tiles, in particular, have proven to be a trendy choice in the home interior world. You can also expect more chevron, parquet patterns, and textured tiles to make a splash this year. 

Window coverings

No window is complete without a covering to stop the heat and cold from making their way inside our homes. So what window covering can we expect to see a lot of this year?

Automated 

Technology is a big part of our daily lives, and in 2023, we can expect to see it integrated into our homes as motorized window coverings. 

These popular window coverings have become a big trend due to their convenience and ability to control them from your smart home devices remotely.

Dark colors

Dark colors, such as navies, reds, and stone grays, will be popular for window coverings in 2023. 

These sophisticated colors add a luxurious feel to any room while still being a suitable shade to match well with other colors. In particular, deep colors can contrast nicely with light-colored walls and architectural details.

Neutral browns

Deciding on a hue for your window coverings that compliments your space can be tricky. If you can't decide on a color, you can never go wrong with a neutral tone, especially in 2023. 

Neutral tones like tan, oatmeal, and apricot provide comfort and can easily match any room's paint and furniture color. 

Kitchen designs

Checking out these latest kitchen trends is a great place to start if you want to refresh your kitchen for the new year. 

Color 

If the sterile white kitchen look wasn't your thing, you'll be delighted to hear that color will show up much more in kitchen designs in 2023. 

Expect colors such as dusty pink, dark green, warm taupe, and much more. These colors work great for an accent wall or the entire room - the choice is yours.

Creative cabinetry 

Cabinetry will always remain a crucial part of any kitchen. It determines how much storage you have and how you can organize your kitchen essentials. 

From bold reds, yellow, and oranges to rustic, natural wood grain finishes - we can expect to see a much broader range of diversity and creativity in this year's cabinetry trends. 

Smart kitchens

The presence of kitchen technology is also set to increase this year. This includes kitchen appliances you control via your smartphone, voice-activated appliances, innovative touchless faucets, and more.

Smart kitchens aren't just convenient and help save time and energy. Most smart appliances are more energy-efficient than traditional ones. 

From vivid hues and 70's groove to sustainability and upcycled furniture - 2023 is undoubtedly an exciting time for interior design.
