The decor trends of 2023 have emphasized natural elements and artisanal touches. Green has been a prominent color, used in accent walls and furniture. Neutral tones with textured elements have also been favored, bringing depth and interest to living spaces and bedrooms. The inclusion of handcrafted items from local and international artisans has provided homes with a unique and personalized touch, adding character to each space.
Additionally, the trend of incorporating historic touches into decor has gained popularity, allowing rooms to tell stories and evoke nostalgia for the past. Looking ahead, there is excitement about how these trends will evolve and inspire fresh design ideas in the second half of the year. Tammy Holmes, interior designer and owner of Ivy Decor & Design, leads us on the journey of decor trends in 2023 – present and future!
Green will continue its reign, and not only through indoor plants, but also on ceilings, feature tiles, wallpaper, upholstery, decor elements, and more! Green is as neutral, and the various hues within this colour spectrum provide us with exceptional scope and opportunity, which we are very excited about.
Neutrals will feel kinder and warmer – goodbye greys, welcome earthy hues with pink undertones.
Fluting lives on in unexpected places. Sofa skirts, headboards, kitchen islands, and wall backdrops, the flute is here to stay.
Raw materials: There will be a big focus on the hero qualities of materials like marble, wood, and stone; stripped from all synthetics. We will be celebrating the raw, where the focus will move toward the natural beauty of the textures found in these elements. Think unstained oak dining tables, unpolished marble tops, and hand-painted pieces.
Artisanal design: Hand-formed work will become the chosen design that adds something special to a space. From local to international design, handmade furniture, tapestries, ceramics, and more – hand-formed is where it’s at.
Historic touches: Grandma’s dressing table is here to stay, and we are excited about it. Adding history to a space creates charm and conjures up memories, stories, and a yearning for slower days. A home is a place of celebration, and bringing in elements of the older generations (more often than not, partnered with a fantastic story) adds that depth to the room that wasn’t there before.
