If the New Year has you looking about your home, pondering the prospect of a makeover then 2023 looks set to be a game changer in terms of interior design.
The experts are tipping the days of playing it safe and embracing neutral are gone, with this year set to focus on fun, a touch of texture, some bold moves, and a nod to nostalgia.
So, let’s take a quick walk through some of the incoming interior design trends which are set to shape the year to come.
Go bold in the home
Playing it safe with neutral tones has been a mainstay of recent years, but this year that’s set to change with colour making a comeback.
This trend is set to be seen everywhere from paint colours to interior artwork and feature furniture, and the mantra here is have fun and let your personality shine through.
Embracing bold and bright can be a little intimidating, but you don’t need to repaint your entire home or redesign every interior.
Instead, focus on the items you can easily switch out such as artwork, cushions, soft furnishings and decorator pieces.
These add a touch of colour and fun that you can draw inspiration from while creating a revamped feel.
Bringing the great outdoors in
Blending the inside with the great outdoors is a theme playing out throughout the interior design world in 2023, but in Noosa, that’s just the way we live.
Now, however, this trend has its very own name – biophilia.
Basically, it involves creating a Zen-like vibe in the home and taking your design cues from the natural world around you.
It includes everything from an abundance of indoor plants to natural lighting, seamless alfresco areas, natural textures, and outdoor bathrooms.
A little nostalgia
Whether it’s a stunning decorator piece you picked up on an overseas holiday or something you loved from your grandmother’s home, items that offer a touch of personal nostalgia are very much on trend in 2023.
In fact, this year is tipped to be all about embracing mid-century as a massive vibe, and it’s a shift which also plays into the sustainability movement of recent years, with upcycling and recycling all part of the push.
Tactile and textural is on trend
This year we’re not just going to admire indoor spaces for the visionary feast they create, but also the way they feel, with textures set to play a huge role.
We’re not just talking feature textures here, but texture upon texture upon texture, with textured paints, wallpapers, and renders all part of the look along with wood grain finishes, stones, wool rugs, leather and more.
The art here lies in layering your tactile elements to create a space that’s warm and inviting.
Dedicated spaces are back
The past couple of years of a global pandemic saw us focus more intently on the way our homes served our lifestyle.
Dedicated study areas were a massive trend as were breakout spaces that family members could retreat to.
These remain on trend in 2023 with retreat spaces a big theme. This sees you create quiet places which people can relax in around the home, such as cozy nooks, outdoor areas, and offices that double as retreat areas.
Meanwhile, the dining room has made a definite comeback with dinner parties set to be a big theme in 2023.
