Ever since the lockdown, put in place during the pandemic, people have started to look at their homes differently. Doing up your home to cater to moods, attitudes, and the personality of the homeowner has never been more important than today. One wants their home to reflect who they are. One wants to do up the space to look and feel comfortable, with convenient elements affixed everywhere. A good home is not only beautiful but comes with an element of user friendly; the element of workableness. Here are some home decor trends we deduced for 2023.

We think these trends will rule, and truly make you feel at home. They add that element of comfort and bliss to a home. These trends have emerged over the past couple of years, as people started to WFH and re-assess their living spaces. Home is no longer a place to use after work hours. It’s a place to live in; truly enjoy.

Nature is Here to Stay

Pastel greens, stunning blues, and colours from nature will truly rein. These colours have a soothing and easing effect on the brain and are known to genuinely calm a person down. When neutrals are paired with other soothing colours such as blue, green, and lavender, a home looks refreshed along with being easy-going. Additionally, in terms of design elements, Biophilic Designs are here to stay – which is all about including natural textures, and other nature-inspired elements in your home. This is all about “moving the outside in” and using nature-inspired finishes and fittings. Plants everywhere, false or real, wooden tables, baskets, and more add that rustic, natural look to a house, making one feel like their home is an oasis of a natural, garden or forest-like pristineness and calmness. Sustainability as a look is very in today, and one can soak in its trendy goodness.

Moody and Dramatic Colours are also Back

To push away pandemic-induced sadness and introvertedness, people have started to experiment with bursts of colour. Deep green, purple, deep reds, browns, and greens will make a comeback next year, as people do up their homes once again, or aim to start fresh post-pandemic. People are getting bolder and fiercer in their choices. Benjamin Moore picks Raspberry Blush as the colour for 2023. A reddish-orange colour, colours such as these promise to make a home more interesting and exciting, to say the least. Such colours embody optimism, hope, and joie de vivre, as the experts at Benjamin Moore say.

Minimalism is Taking a Backseat

The whites, and barely there of minimalism will surely take a backseat, as people try to make their homes more exciting. People will be drawn to vigour, energy, and vivaciousness in their homes. Enjoying pops of colour, coloured walls, and a space that generally has more character is the new sexy for clients. Stone and tile will make a comeback as people seek out more texture in the spaces they live in. Minimalism is phasing out, as people continue to want their home decor trends to speak of their lives.

Oversized Furniture and Lamps

Furniture that offers comfort, and enables one to sink in is trendy. Big cushions, huge sofas, huge dining tables, and lamps offer warmth and are cozy-looking are in. These are both comfortable and luxurious. Spaces, where families can gather and spend time, and build a sense of camaraderie, are much desired today. Plush seating, large-scale motifs, and going big are gaining attention in the design world today. This again works well for families that spend a lot of time together, where the trend towards WFHing and flexible hours at work has truly caught on. Large centre tables, mid-century modern comfort, and everything that adds to a sense of safety and security are in. It's how we remember our childhoods – full of warmth and loving playfulness for many of us. In the same way, large lighting, which provides an ambient glow to a home is ever-so-welcome. The trend is shifting towards large lighting, as opposed to small lights. Rugs that offer a sense of loving homeliness, and huge chandeliers and globes which add luxury are surely making their presence felt. Unusual dimensions are in. So go big.

Brown and Terracotta Tones are in

Woodwork, rattan, and wicker, all of these textures are in today. Once again there is an association with warmth and comfort. Soothing brown and caramel tones will dominate trends next year. English chests of drawers, and brown furniture, people are turning to these hues to add a sense of well-being to their homes. Terracotta, the colours of the earth, are also being used increasingly to bring the outside in. People want their homes to reflect raw and rustic charm. The aim is again enhancing wellness, and enabling us to connect with nature and our outside environment. Being welcoming towards it.
