One of the biggest trends for 2023 is an overall focus on wellness. Wellness is comprised of eight mutually co-dependence dimensions: emotional, physical, occupational, social, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, and financial. If any one of these dimensions is neglected over time, it will adversely affect one’s health, well-being, and quality of life. So, to take this thought one step further, Interior Designers’ Favorite 2023 Trending Colors appears to be following that theme as well.

Earthy and pink tones promote tranquility and healing. Lavender and other shades of purple represent wellness and digital escapism. Are we surprised that Digital Lavender is Pantone’s Color of the Year? We’re seeing a lot of lavender and other shades of purple in both wall colors, furniture, and home decor.

We are also seeing a lot of muted earth tones like terracotta, green, yellow, and plum. Try this for a moment – Close your eyes and think about wellness. Now try to describe its color. If your mind drifted to blue skies, green grass, turquoise lakes, clear streams, sandy shorelines, water-splashed rocks, and creamy clouds, then you’re thinking like most of the leading interior designers today.

Sherwin Williams Quest Gray

“Purple is a color we’ve rarely seen used in bedroom designs, but we are expecting more of. Color psychology has proven purples are romantic, peaceful, and luxurious. The buzz surrounding Digital Lavender as the 2023 Color of the Year has only reassured us that purple is a definite for 2023 design.” —Design West | Naples, Florida 

Benjamin Moore Black and White Dove

“Clients are looking for a timeless elegance but with contrast and a touch of something that creates a special and unique look and space to call their own.” —Hillary Stamm, HMS Interiors | Manhattan Beach, California

“Heading into 2023, we’re really into darker and dramatic shades, such as deep charcoals and browns. These tones are not only elegant and upscale when complemented with tonal furnishings and accessories, but they bring a warm and comfortable feel to the space.” —Leslie Murphy, Murphy Maude Interiors | Memphis, Tennessee  

Peignoir by Farrow and Ball

“Dusty pinks, salmon, and taupes. These warm neutrals, in particular, really came up in the last couple of years or so, and I think are now considered mainstays. There is something so soothing about a dusty pink that also feels special and unique.” —Susie Novak, Susie Novak Interiors | Oakland, California

In closing, there is no question, the wellness trend that is so big this year is working hand-in-hand with Interior Designers’ Favorite 2023 Trending Colors. I personally love where the color trends are headed and the Home Decor Options are simply fabulous.
