Can you believe it’s 2023? Over the last few years, we’ve spent a lot of our time inside – thanks, pandemic! – and although the world has opened again, future home décor choices are continuing to encourage wellness, comfort and stability at home.
The pandemic has made us all appreciate intimate moments and 2023’s home trends capture this idea. Calm and intentional spaces are on the docket for the new year, with a special focus on how your home makes you feel. These six home décor ideas will ensure your sanctuary is still on trend come January.
- Knocking on nature’s door
2023 is all about incorporating organic features into your home. Become a plant parent – a pop of greenery will literally add a breath of fresh air to your space – or introduce more
renewable materials into your interior decoration, such as wool, cotton, bamboo or cork. Layering is popular right now, so don’t worry about trying to stick to just one type of textile. A mix of styles will add a feeling of warmth, depth and complexity to any room. - Creative curveballs
If you are thinking about redecorating your home for the new year, embrace the curves! Curves in furniture design, archways and décor are coming back in style. This gentle shape adds a softness to a space, which brings about a more relaxed atmosphere. Think round coffee tables, curve-backed chairs, organic-looking vases or circle picture frames and mirrors. - Colour is the fuchsia
Say goodbye to white and grey and hello to colour. In the new year, add pops of colour and contrast to your space. The best way to do this is through a fresh lick of paint. Dark accents, bold colours or soft pinks and natural browns are popular palettes for 2023. Easy ways to add colour include repainting your front door, creating an accent wall, giving your balustrades a new lease on life or updating your railings – it’s the perfect DIY project and will modernise your space instantly.
- Let thrifting thrive
Looking for accent décor pieces or furniture? Second-hand and antique stores are an excellent way to sustainably source these sorts of items. Adding quirky fête finds creates great visual interest. It is also an excellent way to amp up your atmosphere in an eco-friendly way. - Chaotic curation
Move over cottagecore, it’s time for cluttercore to shine! Matching chairs and perfect dinner sets are no longer a thing. In the past, curation was key but in 2023, it’s all about mismatched plates, juxtaposed décor, heirloom and heritage pieces and displaying items that bring you happiness. It might sound like a chaotic way to decorate but when grounded by minimalism elsewhere in your home, it gives your space some personality. This can boost your sense of calm by conjuring up positive emotions.
- Breaking barriers
Multi-purpose spaces are all the rage for 2023. This trend includes blurring the lines between inside and outside by using plants, soft furnishings or frameless glass doors. Another way is to develop flexible interiors. For example, sometimes a kitchen isn’t only used for cooking – it is often a place of entertainment and where one shares amazing moments with others. By adding specific décor or furniture to this room, you can enhance its use. Take a look at your space and think about the other ways you use it – you’ll soon see small tweaks that will make your home more intentional.
