9 INTERIOR TRENDS FOR 2023
From wellbeing related trends to the return of brown , red and pink - 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting year for interior design . Rebecca Snowden , Interior Style Advisor at Furniture And Choice ( FurnitureChoice . co . uk ) shares 9 stylish trends and how to get the look at home .
1 . BIOPHILIC DESIGN
In 2023 , expect to see a few key interior trends bring a soothing touch to our homes . Biophilic design , which is all about incorporating nature into our homes through design , has shown that it can make us healthier and more productive . Focus on calming elements such as letting more natural light in , prioritising natural materials and greenery into our spaces . Biophilic design blurs the boundary between the indoors and outdoors and connects us to our surroundings .
Besides the core elements of biophilic design , get inspired by natural shapes and forms such as curves or circles . Soften the room with curved furniture like round tables or sofas for a cosy and comforting appearance . It also adds an updated spin on retro furniture shapes such as mid-century design . Another subtle way to highlight biophilic design is by introducing arches through chic alcoves , cabinets or hallways which add a natural flow to the interior . The stylish curves break up the straight lines and make the room feel more spacious .
2 . THE RETURN OF THE ROOM ( BROKEN PLAN LIVING )
With people spending more time at home , whether it ’ s for work or relaxation , we ’ ve seen a rise in broken plan living . Loosely based around open plan design , broken plan living is all about creating distinct zones to give our spaces more purpose . While an open plan brings people closer ( due to the lack of walls ), it also lacks privacy and warmth if the open areas aren ’ t styled properly .
There are many options to divide your space . Install Crittall doors or partitions for a stylish , modern way to create a separate room while letting the light continue to flow . Open shelving units work similarly – use a bookshelf as a room divider and fill it with a variety of greenery for a fresh and open look . Even a couple of tall , leafy potted plants can help zone an area and give it some privacy without closing off the space completely .
3 . WELLBEING-LED DESIGN
With many of us staying in more than we used to , it ’ s only natural that interior design will gravitate towards making our homes feel like sanctuaries . Start by paying attention to what makes you feel good at home such as by choosing a calming colour palette for each room and incorporating natural materials into your decor .
