From cozy, sophisticated surroundings to an art deco revival, we've compiled the most sought-after interior design trends poised to stand out in 2023.
Japandi Design
Japandi is an interior design style that merges Japanese and Scandinavian sensibilities with a focus on material warmth, minimalism, and the calming effect of nature. Intended to evoke a feeling of zen tranquility, Japandi style leverages natural materials like wood, stone, bamboo, twigs or grasses to bring the outdoors in, helping to create a soothing, nature-infused environment. Find earthy hues like brown, khaki, or pale cool tones paired with warm whites and grays, with a strategic dash of pattern for a bit of dynamism.
Reinvented Heritage
A modern take on the vintage movement, reinvented heritage is the mixing of old and new, conjuring a feeling of nostalgia while displaying your own unique taste. Merging classic decor with fashionable design to create sophisticated interiors, this style pairs iconic tartan prints, velvet upholstery, and regal chandeliers with much-loved and meaningful vintage objects for a balanced space that is both familiar and unique.
Art Deco Encore
While hyper maximalism might not be in the cards yet –a style defined by ornate details and Gatsby-era glamor is on the rise. Perfect for creating high-contrast and dramatic spaces, art deco style utilizes luxurious materials, like velvet, marble, lacquer, and smoked glass to make a bold impression. Opt for velvet-clad sofas, dark wooden consoles, and sleek metal bases to anchor your room. Furniture with eye-catching geometric inlays, jewel-tone colors, and mirrored surfaces plays up the luxe factor, while cozier finishes like a richly patterned rug or textured throw blanket bring balance and visual intrigue.
Luxe Lounge
Elegant and extravagant, luxe lounge style is all about the finer details in life. Sumptuous and spacious sofas, plush cushions wrapped in velvet, and well-structured armchairs covered in buttery leather create a space that is equally welcoming as it is opulent. Luxe materials like dark woods, marble, crystal, and sheepskin upholstery provide wow factor, while warm lighting and rich, metallic accents round out the look for a perfect spot to entertain friends or simply get away from it all.
Sustainable Nature
We continue to invite the calming power of nature into our interiors to build environments that facilitate mindfulness and sustainable living. This style sources cozy, organic materials such as wool, cotton, silk, rattan and clay in earth tones and warm neutrals. Look for furniture crafted from FSC-sourced light woods and accent with handwoven rugs composed of nubby wool, jute, or textured cotton. Naturally, plants are visible throughout the space to accentuate the beauty of biophilic design, bringing the outdoors in for a fresh perspective. This style blends well with Japandi and Mid-Century Modern.
1970's Revival
With nostalgia having a commanding presence in design, the 1970’s era of warm tones and low-slung aesthetics is making a return, ditching the dated aspects in favor of lush lounge areas and eye-catching social spaces. Materials like rattan, cane, and bamboo blend with velvet, linen, and boucle making their mark in high-end interiors and casual spaces alike. Creating the laid-back, yet elevated vibe we’re all craving right now, geometric accents and tactile textures are prioritized over form, as we see simple, enveloping shapes, wrapped in softer colored materials.
1960's Armchairs
A unique blend of angles and curves, 1960’s style lounge chairs are poised for a comeback thanks to their familiar frames and comforting qualities. Iconic styles made popular by their innovative use of materials, shape and color, retro-modern seating style offers low-slung functionality and understated elegance. Displaying molded contours, futuristic silhouettes, and sculptural sides and backs, 1960’s style chairs are a thing of functional beauty, with neutral colors featured throughout, while pops of bold red, pastel pinks, and sunburnt hues like ochre, avocado, and tangerine elevate with mid-century flair.
Oversized Pendants
Experimenting with size, scale, and proportion brings the most attractive results to any modern interior as designers swap traditional pendant installations for oversized, decorative luminaries. Not only does boldly-sized lighting grab anyone’s attention, but these oversized pendants look exquisite acting as a sky-high focal point for any room. A singular dramatic pendant defines open space as part of a dining nook or seating group, while a statement is made with several strung along a kitchen island or spacious dining table. A visual feast that translates well in any aesthetic, large scale lighting fixtures are overhead works of art.
