When it comes to the Top Trends for Home Design & Decor 2023, there are a few noteworthy differences and we’ll go into those. Thanks to the pandemic, Health and Wellness as well as Sustainable Materials are having a huge impact on the decisions people are making, and Home Design & Decor are impacted.
That being said, let’s take a look at the 12 Top Trends for Home Design & Decor 2023.
1. Color Palettes, Patterns, and Textures
We will see a move away from neutrals and people will be using more vibrant colors and boldly patterned fabrics. Citrus green, RAF blue, and a Hybrid Blue-Green are colors I think we’ll see a lot of. Traditional patterns like checks, plaids, and blanket stripes echo the theme’s cozy factor, but classic herringbone, houndstooth, and geometric jacquards elevate it. We’ll see things like leathers, plaster, recycled wool, and gold and copper highlights.
2. Tone on Tone Kitchen Cabinetry
A popular trend for kitchen cabinets is the two-toned look. Tone-on-Tone Kitchen Cabinetry can add a lot of depth to the kitchen design. There are also a lot of different ways you can use it. Mix a green or blue island with natural wood cabinets on the perimeter, or opt for different tones on your upper and lower cabinets. By mixing shades you help prevent any one color or tone from dating the entire kitchen at once, which can make your style stay fresher looking longer. It can also help marry different elements throughout the home
3. Copper Accents in the Kitchen
If there’s one person who knows her way around a kitchen, it’s Martha Stewart. Her cooking area features copper pots and pans with an impressive collection of matching copper accents in her kitchen. These trendy accessories are versatile by nature and do it all from assisting in meal prep to adding an amazing aesthetic to your kitchen workspace.

4. Home Office Work Spaces – A More Efficient use of Space
Multiple changes afflicted our daily lives, and the way we organize work by the pandemic restrictions also affect the tendencies of a student’s need for quiet study space and a need for office space in work-at-home situations. People are placing a higher value on their time and energy than ever before. Work at home, in itself, has risen as a huge trend that doesn’t show any signs of disappearing, making the home office an irreplaceable component.
5. Sustainable & Organic Materials
It’s clear that buying and disposing of too many low-quality items isn’t helping our planet. The climate crisis has driven a consumer push to invest in responsibly made, longer-lasting items, as well as reusing and recycling what we already have.
The call of nature has been heard in the design world as well. The tendency to search for sustainable designs, organic materials, shapes, and colors inspired by the greatest artist Nature has become more popular with big and small brands for architecture and design when composing a space to inhabit or work in. This tendency is picking up speed over the last decade, but the latest pandemic reality enforced some intriguing tendencies that took root fast and steady. This season the search for nature in our daily life is quite visible in some of the most celebrated design decors worldwide.
Upcycling furniture is a great way to show off your creativity and learn new skills, and there’s plenty of inspiration to be found online. Natural sustainable and organic products might include wooden bowls, houseplants, wicker or rattan furniture, driftwood lamps, cushions made from natural fibers, etc.
6. Curvy Furniture & Objects
Curvy furniture is about to have a heyday. As we continue to shift away from straight-lined minimalism and toward cozier interiors, our furniture is getting softer, more comfortable, and more sculptural.
7. Nature-Inspired Surfaces and Objects
With more time spent indoors than ever before, we’re all seeking to strengthen our connection with nature. This has simultaneously inspired a resurgence in natural surfaces—think stoneware, terracotta, marble, and travertine being used across the board from backsplashes to bathtubs, furniture, and decorative objects.
8. Return of Dark Earthy Browns & Black
When it comes to some of the smaller home details, we can expect black and dark chocolate brown to make a breakthrough. Black window frames, trim, doors, cabinet hardware, faucets, etc… will be showing up throughout interior design in 2022. We see a return of earthy browns in 2022—from cognac to burnt umber to dark chocolate brown.
“Chocolate browns, camels and caramels – there has been so much color and pattern, especially pastels, the last few years and I think people will be ready for a palette cleanser.”

9. Gen-Z Eye-Catching Interiors
Social Media seems to be setting the tone for this next trend. The Gen-G, more specifically the Instagram and Tic-Toc Generation are tending to gravitate towards more eye-catching interiors for sharing on their accounts. Can you say Full of colors and geometrics?
10. Distinct Move Towards Wellness
How did the pandemic affect interior design?
The first aspect is rather psychological, and experts speak about it. Forced to be in their home 24 hours a day, people began to appreciate the importance of good design more. Understanding that this is more than just surrounding yourself with “beautiful and expensive things” is a question of the quality and well-being of life.
Covid, and more recently Monkey Pox, has left most people reaching towards wellness in a way that they never have before. Along with that comes a cleaner design aesthetic and our interiors are seeing an increase in natural light. The more we know what benefits human functioning, the more we’ll see those elements in interiors – where possible. Natural light is one aspect magnified in current and coming designs. There’s a renewed focus on maximizing natural light with big, bare windows, whites, and reflective surfaces. And why not? Natural light can improve our sleep patterns, focus, and mood. Plus, it helps us produce vitamin D!
Fresh Air is the Greatest Treasure:
While we remained locked in our homes, the available open space with fresh air became a real wealth – whether it was an abandoned backyard in a cottage or a balcony in a city apartment. A front garden, a green lawn, and even a few pots with live plants have acquired therapeutic value. Indoor flowers are now not just part of the decor, but an expression of concern for psychological health, a way to establish a connection with nature as a source of energy.
11. Built-in Everything
2003 is looking like it’s going to be a year of designer overload and that includes built-in shelving, built-in seating, built-in dog bed, yep you get the picture 🙂
12. Magenta and Lavender will ABSOLUTELY be the Stars for 2023
Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2023 is Viva Magenta and runner-up to that is Digital Lavender, only a tad different from Pantone’s Color of the Year 2022, Very Peri.
