You may have a lot of your mind and ideas for 2023, but have you given any thought to a design change in your home? The open shelving, gray, and massive lighting trends take their bows. Moving into their place, you will find bold colors, vintage furnishings, modernist curves, and touches of irregular and imperfect embellishments.
Don’t Shy Away from Color
Bright, bold, and exciting color palettes are coming back in a major way, with plenty of trending hues to pick from. Top options include:
- Golds
- Teal
- Reds
- Magenta
- Earthy tones
Never be afraid to let powerful colors take center stage over some of the muted neutral tones we have all been used to for the last few years. It is time to bring color to your favorite rooms with a bold accent rug, painting one wall, or adding bright accessories and fabrics.
Tip: Ceilings are a perfect new avenue for adding color. A deep tone will also give a compelling look to built-ins or walls.
Kitchens: What’s Cooking?
- Blue or gray cabinetry is going away and taking a backseat to light wood mixed with white.
- Designers are now upcycling other pieces of furniture for kitchen islands rather than using cabinetry.
- A consistent trend is quartz countertops in a light tone with added contrast from black stainless-steel sinks or fixtures.
- Workstation sinks with the bonus of a built-in cutting board or multiple bowls are now helping to bring a customized, functional touch.
Don’t Forget the Bathrooms
Have you given much thought to matte black? This trending color option is a hot choice for plumbing fixtures and bath accessories. Known as a chic and sophisticated option, black matte is perfect for bringing a new spin on spa-like bathrooms for a zen yet modern feel.
While blue has been wildly popular in bathrooms for a while, green is perfect for those loving the Earth tons. However, if you want to go bold, think turquoise or teal.
Pro Tip: The bathrooms are places for luxury, so think of added amenities like warming drawers, heated floors, and more.
Is it Time for New Furniture?
- Art Deco and curves are stellar for 2023, so look into rounded sofas and chairs to allow for a creative arrangement when placing furniture.
- Vintage pieces have kept growing in popularity since the onset of the pandemic, and they don’t seem to be going anywhere.
- Put your own mark on your living space with personalization whenever possible. Pull out unique pieces, add family heirlooms, or create your own art space or collection.
When you look around your home as 2023 is underway, what would you like the new year to bring? Consider breaking the mold and starting new trends that show your personality and style. Fun colors, great textures, and conversational furniture pieces are the way to go.
