According to experts, some of the top interior design trends for 2023 include eco-conscious homes that feel in harmony with the natural world while still being super-chic and upscale, holistic design that closely considers a homeowner’s mind and body, rich, saturated hues, right-sizing, multi-purpose interiors and at-home oases.

There are also new colors, new textures and new materials, but most importantly, there are new moods. Most of the moods tend to revolve around a spa-like sense of serenity or a fun and patterned decorative boost of joy.

Some other trends include a positive layout influenced by the East, such as Feng Shui, wabi-sabi, ikigai and japandi aesthetics.

Here are some possible interior design trends for 2023:

Cylindrical chandeliers

The latest lighting forms take inspiration from oblong shapes, casting targeted and tantalising glows. In fact, you could call them tubular belles. Why this shape, and why now? It’s because they’re playful and polished, flexible, and finessed, a striking statement with a curvaceous silhouette.

They also funnel light, creating the ideal glow for how we want to live now – warm and flattering and sociable. ‘My favorite trend is the use of statement lighting pieces that can be used as both a functional and decorative element,’ says the interior designer Nina Magon. Lighting trends generally would imply that the era of the big light is over, that wall and floor lamps are the most important now. But the targeted way this shape creates light means if you have to have a big central light, then it has to be tubularly shaped.

Gold-edged ceramics

It’s an approach being utilized by Jo Davies and Pinto too, folding perfectly into the minimalism in interior design vibe we all crave so much right now. “Minimalist living is not only about having a clean home, it is also about celebrating nature and authenticity,” says Hélène Pinaud of Heju Studio. “So, we are not afraid to incorporate artisanal, vintage and homemade objects and furniture, but always in a quiet, neutral palette.” Just a touch of elevation to the everyday, but not enough. It creates any visual noise.

Aluminum

This easily recycled metal has been upgraded from drinks cans to some of the most covetable design around, as part of a bigger movement for designers to reappraise more sustainable means. ‘Rough and smooth, shiny and matte, black and white – we want [to use] a lot of materials to avoid too much monotony,’ says Tom Dixon, who has used it for lightweight chairs.

Consisting of a pendant and sconce design, the sleek minimal forms showcase the beauty of the material in its purity, creating a perfect backdrop for the light to reflect off.

Curvaceous cabinetry

More storage, and this time in a much bigger way. And it’s going seriously beautiful, as tidying up never looked so good. The other side of the same coin as those decorative storage boxes, these cabinets are more evidence of the quest to just put everything away and live in an uncluttered space.

Convivial seating

Furniture designers have spotted the opportunity to bring people back together again, and this new era in furniture design sees a selection of seating options which are all about encouraging the art of in-person conversation.

Minimaluxe

A pared back palette that allows the showcasing of your favorite things, minimaluxe is set to take over the design world. It’s characterised by soft textures, shapes and colors, and a sense of airiness and light.

Of his apartment in New York, above, stylist Colin King says ‘the window are deliberately left unadorned, so the space doesn’t look too “decorated.”‘ And that desire for simplicity coupled with a space you want to curl up in with your most treasured objects is what minimaluxe is all about.

Heritage tiles

Reclaimed or vintage-inspired, the archive patterned aesthetic is more popular than ever.

Missing the Mediterranean? That’s the joy of this heavily decorative approach to bathroom tile trends – you can bring a touch of it home. ‘Decorative tiles are perhaps the biggest trend at the moment as they give the opportunity to inject some creativity and personality to the room,’ says Richard Fox, a senior designer at Ripples. Referencing the antique tiles of Southern Spain, seek out the patina and colors that reflecting those of original reclaimed tiles.  Use independently or pair with single color tiles for a more understated aesthetic.

Mediterranean good vibes

Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana has been setting the style agenda for years. Cherry prints, gothic lace, and now blue and white good time vibes.

With its crisp yet classic color combination, Dolce & Gabbana’s Blu Mediterraneo collection evokes the feeling of lazy summer holidays.

What is the decorating trend for 2023?

There is one main decorating look coming in as a big trend for 2023, and it’s for minimaluxe, or for every room to be so opulent that you can’t help to be relaxed.

‘The rooms I design have the sensibility of a spa,’ says the interior designer Noa Santos. ‘Natural materials like marble and stone work together to feel almost monatic, especially in soft neutral tones like creams and beiges.’

One trend that has been gaining popularity in recent years is the use of natural materials and textures in home decor. This includes materials like wood, stone, and natural fibers such as linen and wool. In addition, there has been a growing interest in sustainable and eco-friendly decor options.

Another trend that has been popular in recent years is the use of bold colors and patterns in home decor. This includes everything from bright accent walls to patterned wallpaper and textiles. Mixing and matching patterns and colors is also becoming more common, creating a vibrant and eclectic look.

Minimalism and decluttering have also been popular in recent years, with many people seeking to simplify their living spaces and reduce the amount of clutter in their homes. This often involves a focus on clean lines and simple, functional furniture.
