Michael P.H. Clifford

The new year gives us a chance to reflect on all that has happened in the last 365 days, but it is also a time to look ahead and think about what lies ahead, and this is especially true in the world of interior design. . In 2023, home decor and design trends are ready to move into earthy, textured territory with brown and wood furniture, handmade items, neutral color palettes, and whimsical touches that add warmth and character to spaces.

We spoke to a number of interior designers to ask them about specific home decor trends to look forward to and embrace in 2023.

Mid-Century Home Decor.

The 1960s and 1970s are back, and this era can be seen in the color palette of the interior, furnishings, and décor. "People have moved from the glitzy atmosphere of Palm Springs, California fashion to the more serious, artsy side of mid-century modern design," says Avery Cox of Avery Cox Design. "Think organic shapes, uneven earth tones, and textured finishes."

She says people are drawn to these earthy, human details after years of stress, fear and isolation. We want to be able to collectively see the artist's hand and celebrate unpainted naturalism. It's a "return to earth" so to speak. "Look for thrift and vintage stores that have a handcrafted quality," says Cox. "Incorporate these details into your table settings, like a toothbrush holder or a pretty flower arrangement on a mantel."

curves and arcs

Sharp edges will give way to softer forms in your home this year, so expect to see more curved doorways and doorways, curved furniture, and rounded sculptural forms. "Design trends always come back, and we were in a modernist phase that included more square edges and straight lines," says Kathy Siegel, interior designer at Rumor Designs. "Now we see the pendulum swing the other way, curves that offer a smoothness that isn't part of the latest set of design trends."

In general, it offers a more organic look and an overall feeling of lightness. According to Segal, the easiest way to incorporate this trend into your home is with furniture such as sofas, chairs, vases, mirrors, and other small decorative pieces. And when are you ready to go big? Consider carving that arched doorway.

floating stone sink

Those who play around with bathroom renovations should consider a floating bathtub, which gives the space an almost ethereal aesthetic. "Whether marble or quartz, stone sinks are making their way into bathrooms around the world," says April Gandy, Principal Designer at Alluring Designs Chicago. "Bathrooms are often one of the top features to consider when designing a bathroom, and custom floating stone provides a [vibrant] look."

She especially likes the trend for dressers, where there is little space and no need to put things away.

The appearance of trap art.

Countertop art is a classic form of American and European woodworking that involves the careful carving and layering of wood and/or utilitarian objects such as nails or sticks. "Like other things that show the human element, travel art relishes the moment because of its warmth, texture, and uniqueness," says Cox. "In a modern setting, you can use moving art to add character. For example, I love a moving art box on the kitchen counter to store things like tea or spices, and art stands are a great way to add a new element to a room using at most other woods, ceramics and materials, if removed.'

When shopping for antique art, look for details on material transitions, difficulty levels, age, and material types to determine if you've found a genuine contribution. Many people don't realize that these "school projects" are highly valuable and in demand, Cox says. These are getting harder to find, so when you see one, grab it.

brown furniture

A few decades ago, brown furniture went out of style because the trend got "bigger" and the price went up. However, like any good trend, it's back as we're seeing a general resurgence of the '70s aesthetic (it's all related!). "A lot of brown furniture ended up in antique, thrift, and vintage stores, where designers and artists began collecting it for its high quality and low cost, and thus began the cold-weather cycle," says Cox.

Today, furniture manufacturers have revived this trend and made it more accessible to everyone, so you don't have to rely on one lucky store. Cox recommends pairing big brown furniture with bold fabrics for a contemporary look. If you want to go small, fill an awkward corner with a captain's chair or wooden chair.
