Trend 1 | The colour of the year

The trending colour of the year, according to Pantone, is Viva Magenta 18-1750. A vibrant shade that exquisitely marks its position and highlight, rooted in nature and where it expresses a new sign of strength after difficult times.

“We chose this colour because we felt it is an unconventional shade for an unconventional time, something that could gift us with a new vision. It’s a vibrant, energetic and vigorous colour that demonstrates a new sign of strength that we all need for a more optimistic future.”

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.

This colour will be seen as the background of your decor, through a monochrome painting on your wall. It will be the true highlight of the environment. On the other hand, we can see this colour in small details that usually already make up your decor, namely cushions, paintings and rugs, where this intense colour falls very well.

Trend 2 | Above all well-being

Wellness has been a premise in the design of our homes in recent years and will be one of the trends this year. Environments geared towards the privilege of rest, comfort and practicality have an immediate impact on our home lifestyle and in that sense, for 2023, we will be able to see innovation fostering spaces that promote a peaceful and healthy everyday life. Layout makes all the difference in an interior, as free-flowing movement is essential to provide harmonious areas that enable us to enjoy them in the best possible way.

Interior layout trends for 2023 will be intensely influenced by the East. Feng Shui, Wabi-Sabi and Japandi will be concepts that will drive interior design layout.

Trend 3 | Classical and Renaissance architecture

The symbolism of a past and references to classical and renaissance architecture are predicted to make their way into our home trends in 2023. Designs inspired by heritage and history is something that usually happens within the design world, but this year we will see the influence of the Greek-classical style, through columns, arches even hand-painted vases.

Niches and alcoves will be strong trends over the coming year, to exude even more beautiful decor as well as becoming nooks of function. They help space optimisation as well as adding stunning visual appeal. There is a nostalgia that comes with looking to the past and this feeling will be prevalent in 2023.

Trend 5| Curved Silhouettes

During the last two years we can witness the presence of curves taking over our interiors. Whether in sofas, chairs or even coffee tables, little by little organic shapes are taking an even more secure position, being one of the most relevant trends this year. Giving priority to comfort, we will see that curved pieces will go beyond wonderful comfort, but will present themselves as true works of art.

Furniture with rounded silhouettes, circular carpets, organically shaped sofas and curved chairs will have to be part of your choices for 2023, according to the trends.

Trend 6 | Art Deco

Reviving and revisiting striking styles from the past will be an interior design trend for 2023. Interiors will start to move a little away from total minimalism and incorporate more decorative and ornate styles, as is the case with Art Deco design. We won’t see any great exaggerations, but they start to rise in small details. Colours will be brighter and more vivid and geometric and symmetric patterns are reborn with a more modern signature.

Trend 7 | Sustainability and Natural Materials

With awareness and sustainability at the forefront, it is suggested to us for the coming year to continue to make choices that not only consider aesthetics, but also the health of the mind and planet. The trends we have been following in the world of design project towards greater stability and connection with all that is natural.

Designs are moving towards furniture made from sustainable materials and with a longer life cycle. Cork and aluminium will be a surprise in our interiors in 2023, for their elegant aesthetic as well as ecological appearance.

People are increasingly looking to connect with nature and this has inspired the use of materials such as wood, marble and straw, being absorbed into our environments and incorporated with a dash of modernity and style. Marble is predicted to be an admired material by 2023, due to its organic and elegant look, natural colour palette and comfortable robustness. Being a natural stone, each piece will be entirely exclusive and its very nature brings us the physical security that we have a high quality piece.

In decoration, biophilic design will continue to be part of the trends and with even more strength. Plants, floral patterns and allusive colours will influence the way you see your interior design. Investment will go through fabrics such as cotton, velvet and wool and materials such as raw ceramics and even stone, which will be the standout material of 2023.

Trend 8 | Layered Lighting

As we already know, lighting is a fundamental element in the design of a home and is proven to have an impact on how you live your everyday life and how the layout of the space can transform from one moment to the next. Over the next year, lighting will be enhanced through layering, that is, we will see layered lighting, where it includes different materials, shapes and colours that complete very interesting silhouettes.

This type of lighting that brings together different types of lighting, direct and indirect, ceiling, floor or table lighting, allows spaces to have different dynamics and zones with different purposes. A sublime game of refinement and well-being that elevates design trends into stratospheres of sophistication.
