I’m always a fan of a home design refresh. We all know the tried and true ways to spice up your living space, like incorporating plants or pops of color. While those will never go out of style, other design trends do. Whether you are moving to a new home or renovating your current one choosing home design elements that complement your style and are timeless yet trendy is challenging. Finding home finishes that won’t look dated next year is key. Here are five home design trends on their way out and how you can update them now.
Bye, Bye All White Interiors, Hello Color
In a society where life is so fast-paced, interior design turned to the fresh, clean, and less busy feeling of all-white home interiors. But fresh and clean can seem a bit too clinical and cold now. In 2023, we’ll see a transition to a renewed interest in adding bright and bold colors within the home. Benjamin Moore’s 2023 Color Palette is the perfect summary of the saturating hues that will take over. There’s something for everyone, from nearly black to shy of white, bold shades of brown and blue.
Reimagine Open Concept Living with Intentional Spaces
Open floor plans have been all the rage since they entered home design plans everywhere. They are incredibly enticing for those who often entertain. As lifestyles evolve, now more than ever we are searching for intentional and purposeful spaces throughout the home. Hybrid work schedules have us yearning for private office space.
Turn Major Minimalism into Personalized Maximalism
We all know less is more, but sometimes less is less. We’ve all seen the major minimalism trend in celebrity homes like Kim Kardashian, and I think we may finally be over it. Instead, let’s get creative and personal with more warmth, color, and interest. Trending into 2023, we’ll see living spaces include more layered, modern, maximalist designs in furniture pieces and boldly patterned wallpaper. Your home should tell a story and include personal touches that reflect you and what you love.
Give Matte-Black Hardware A Rest and Try Mixed Metallics
Black hardware is comparable to all-white interiors. Due to its stark yet sleek contrast, it has been seen everywhere, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. However, hardware finishes in 2023 will transition to classic styles such as metallic tones. Think aged brass and polished nickel to incorporate a timeless, updated flair to any living space.
Bring Super Smooth Surfaces to Life with Texture
Moving away from minimalist aesthetics means incorporating more texture within the home through decor and design. For decor, think braided wall art or curvaceous furniture pieces. For design, Venetian plaster and lime wash walls create a new and updated look that brings color to life and movement to a room.
Your home is a reflection of your style. Take a chance to make changes that feel personal yet unique to your lifestyle. 2023 will be an exciting year for home design. Use these tips as a starting point to creating the space you’ve always dreamed of, and remember that the team at HomeSquare is always available to lend a helping hand to turn your vision into reality.
