Here’s What Home Decor is In and Out for 2023Abby Silverman
“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below.”
If there is one thing being a child of the 2000s taught me, it was how to decorate a room. Between Barbie’s Dreamhouse and the online MyScene room makeover game (click here for a boost of nostalgia-induced dopamine), I was *basically* an interior designer by the time I turned eight. Hours spent rearranging furniture in Barbie’s three-story mega-mansion and playing virtual design games, prepared me for the most enjoyable part of adulthood: having money to spend freely in HomeGoods and rummaging through the decor section of thrift stores.
Now, despite trading my pinked-out plastic palace and digital digs for a one-bedroom apartment with major plumbing issues (talk about a downgrade), I still obsess over all things interior design and decor. Soft blankets, ambient lighting, plush throw pillows, vintage wall art—I could keep going—all these elements are what help me take the lil space I call home from bland to grand. Sadly, the plumbing problem can’t be fixed as easily. Le sigh…
Being that we are somehow at the beginning of a new year (!?!?), I wanted to know just what interior trends I should be keeping my eyes peeled for in 2023. Despite my unofficial degree in Interior Design from Barbie’s School of Architecture and Design, I thought it would be best to let some real professionals weigh in on the matter. Our experts are dishing on what we will be loving in 2023 and what we will be leaving in 2022 (which should include that whiny ex of yours, btw). Keep scrolling for all the decor deets!
WHAT’S IN FOR 2023
Embracing Curves
“We will see a departure from the modern lines of mid-century modern furniture. Curved furniture brings back feelings of softness and transitional design.” –Hana Sethi, Home Design and DIY Blogger of Hana’s Happy Home
“Steering more away from the squared and sharp edges, it looks like we’re going to a more soft and curved look once again. With arched doorways and round mirrors, softening up a space and its decor is something more people are looking at.” -Mike Semegen, Owner and Project Manager at Hello Home Studios
“The use of natural materials will continue to reign, as sustainability and eco awareness is only becoming more important. However, we are going to see less of the softer, washed-out woods, but rather more textured, darker species. -Kristina Phillips, Founder of Kristina Phillips Interior Design
“Incorporating natural elements throughout the home is becoming increasingly trendy. I love presenting my clients with the idea of an accent wall paneled with wood; Maybe your TV gets mounted on top, or maybe the wood accent is surrounding a fireplace. Wood is such a fun way of adding interest and depth, and since it’s neutral in color, you’ll never get tired of it!” -Michal Rubin, Principal Designer and Owner of MR Interiors
“There will be a lean towards warmer colors for moodier spaces that are emphasized through rich colors and textures.” -Lindye Galloway, Founder and Chief Creative Officer at Lindye Galloway Design Studio + Shop
“Dark walls will continue to be popular, but not just in black that we’ve seen tending the last few years. Contrary to popular belief, dark walls do *not* make a room feel smaller. It invites more coziness and a moody vibe…Dark walls will be paired with oversized wallpaper patterns like dramatic flowers.” –Hana Sethi, Home Design and DIY Blogger of Hana’s Happy Home
“Dark and moody palettes have recently emerged and are here to stay. Though designers gravitate towards neutral palettes to bring serenity and calmness to a space, dark hues can have just as cozy of an effect. Particularly in spaces dedicated to lounging or living, moody colors can give a room a cocoon-like feeling.” –Leigh Spicher, Interior Designer and National Director of Design Studios for Ashton Woods
“Our homes are going to be filled with color, but not in a Crayola/primary way. Instead, we will be using fabrics, paint and wallpaper to infuse our rooms with patterns and accents applied with sophistication and thoughtfulness. One room plays against the next, so each space should balance each other. We will continue to see traditional murals and scenic papers, but done in a more modern and colorful way.” -Kristina Phillips, Founder of Kristina Phillips Interior Design
“Wallpaper is always a client favorite, but wallpapering a ceiling is going to be trending! This can be done in a bathroom, keeping the walls simple with paint, and then adding a graphic print on the ceiling to draw your eye up, and up the ‘cool’ factor… Wallpapering the ceiling in a gingham print, or a bold color in a beautiful texture like linen: This is such a fun idea, and more and more clients are incorporating it in their homes.” -Michal Rubin, Principal Designer and Owner of MR Interiors
“The ceiling is the 5th wall in a room. In 2023 you’re going to see a lot of designers making the ceiling a focal point. One way to make a room look larger is to paint the ceiling the same colours as the wall. It also gives a cozy vibe.” –Hana Sethi, Home Design and DIY Blogger of Hana’s Happy Home

“Ambient, comfortable lighting is in. We should see more indirect lighting coming from coves and eye-level fixtures, with wall sconces doubling down on form and function. More so, sconces are becoming sculptural as a statement piece or artwork.” -Marina Yu, Senior Designer at Whitehall Interiors
“I think that moiré silk is making a huge comeback in interiors and fashion. It’s made prominent appearances in the most recent collections from some of my favorite designers like Christopher John Rogers and Oscar de la Renta, and I’ve also noticed several fabric and wallcovering lines have recently expanded their offerings. The texture adds so much depth and movement to any color—even black!” –Tara McCauley, Interior Designer
“Layering area rugs in a living room is also a trending design idea. The idea is to create layers with different sized rugs, with different textures; this adds so much comfort physically, and visually! Think: A large scale, traditional Persian rug, with a polka-dot, neutral, smaller rug layered on top. The look is super cool and unique!” -.” -Michal Rubin, Principal Designer and Owner of MR Interiors
“Decadent fabric treatments will help interiors stand out in 2023. The ongoing trend of elevated luxury will seek out timeless, classic patterns like damasks and large florals but with a twist, as seen in bespoke embroidery and imprinted patterns on mohair and velvets.” -Marina Yu, Senior Designer at Whitehall Interiors
“Using recycled materials or incorporating more vintage and antique items can be an excellent way to reduce environmental impact. There is also an increased interest in home spaces that feel more storied, personal, and lived in. The individuality and history of these materials can contribute to a sense of place and personality.” -Sarah Barnard, WELL and LEED accredited Interior Designer at Sarah Barnard Design
“Upcycling will continue to be a hot trend. What’s old is new again, so going into consignment stores, using family heirlooms or even vintage shops will continue to rise in popularity. People love purchasing older items, refinishing them and then repurposing them in their modern homes. With the market the way it is right now, people are constantly looking for new ways to save money but still achieve the style they’re looking for. Upcycling is a great way to pull this off.” -Mike Semegen, Owner and Project Manager at Hello Home Studios
“I predict the big time increase in use of vintage and antiques, both from high end resources like 1st Dibs, and from more DIY sources. Using vintage and antique pieces adds massive character and reduces a space’s carbon footprint. With growing awareness of the interior design equivalent of ‘fast fashion’ – ‘fast interiors,’ being green will continue to be the chicest option.” –Alexa d’Argencé, Associate, Senior Interior Designer at BAR Architects & Interiors
“I think we are going to see a lot of purple color in interiors. The hue is versatile and has a tremendous range of shade variation, from periwinkle to mauve to aubergine. We saw a lot of this shade, as well as jewel tones, on the runways of 2022, and now it’s making its way to the interior spaces.” -Marina Yu, Senior Designer at Whitehall Interiors
“Deep jewel tones in red, green, blue and violet feel rich yet cozy and are great for an accent wall (yes they’re back).” -Tracey Amadio, Paint Expert and Founder of home improvement blog Porch Daydreamer
“We’ll start to see a focus on creating a unique space that speaks to personal styles. In the design industry we see a lot of ‘copy and paste’ but this often lacks inspiration and creativity. This is largely due to social media influences; it’s easy to get caught up in the repetitive nature of design, forgetting what really speaks to the homeowner. We anticipate people will spend their funds more cautiously on pieces that are worth the investment and capture to their personal reflection, this largely includes original artwork rather than prints. Each piece can be as simple as a local farmers market item, to a grand focal point but nonetheless the repeat prints are a thing of the past. While considering this more cautious approach to purchases we will see a great deal of focus on personal well being and mental health as the new year approaches.” -Courtney Turk, Lead Interior Decorator at Courtney Turk Interiors
“With homes becoming offices, gyms, entertainment centers and so much more, we’re all spending more time there and are looking for more interesting ways to decorate. With that, the definition of art has broadened and people are decorating with more unusual items like hats, plants, macrame, and even bikes. This is yet another way for people to show off their creativity and their hobbies in little ways that make them happy every time they enter the room.” –Mallory Micetich, Home Expert at Angi
“A return to work outside the home will change the use of “home offices” into dual purpose rooms instead — think: yoga + meditation spaces, home libraries, and more.” –Pat Del Gavio, Design Firm Principal at Del Gavio Group
“Rather than an abundance of focus on home offices that we saw over the last couple of years, we will see a shift toward meditation spaces and home retreats. A calm oasis to collect thoughts through meditation, yoga practices, fitness and reading will settle into homes in the upcoming months. We are seeing requests for intentional spaces to relax the mind and step away from the WFH lifestyle that so many of us have become accustomed to recently.” -Courtney Turk, Lead Interior Decorator at Courtney Turk Interiors
“Less gray tones, which have been the rage for quite some time now. What’s coming? Warmer colors will emerge — especially as we head into spring.” –Pat Del Gavio, Design Firm Principal at Del Gavio Group
“Say good-bye to gray and hello to warm shades of beige as the new go-to neutral.” -Tracey Amadio, Paint Expert and Founder of home improvement blog Porch Daydreamer
All White Everything
“Modern Farmhouse is a hellscape that will be making its way out. I think as so many new trends come up and are popularized with the help of social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, etc. People are exposed to many more possibilities and don’t feel the need to fall into the boring, basic, “tried and true” white-on-white look.” -Paige Garland, Founder of Paige Garland Interiors
“It may not be the popular opinion but I think all-white kitchens will be phasing out more and more. I believe people will still take the essence of the lighter tones it offered but lean towards taupe and cream colors or a warmer wood to balance the room and create a cozier feel.” -Lindye Galloway, Founder and Chief Creative Officer at Lindye Galloway Design Studio + Shop
Recessed Lighting
“Recessed lighting is out. I know this one is hard to lose, but in truth, it is only needed in the kitchen where good light is essential for cooking.” -Marina Yu, Senior Designer at Whitehall Interiors
Open-Concept Floor Plans
“Because there are no inner walls to divide the room, open-concept floor plans have long been admired. However, because everyone was working, studying, or living at home during the pandemic, that very openness proved to be troublesome for many houses where privacy was at a premium. People are learning they actually prefer more privacy and specific places in their homes after realizing for years how popular open-concept floor plans really are. These spaces will be open and contained in a way that is both separate and still allows for a good flow and airiness.” -Jason Farr, CEO and Founder of Aviara Pavers
At initial, “interior design and style trends” can really feel like an oxymoronic phrase. Decor doesn’t have a tendency to undertake seasonal variations or flash-in-the-pan fads—furniture, textiles, art, and wall coverings are as well cumbersome, also costly, also enduring to update regularly. When you design a home, as the stating goes, you have to have to study to reside with it. For a long time.
However the pendulum does swing, albeit about a long time and decades: 1970s shag-carpeted bohemianism presents way to 1980s glitzy extra, which provides way to 1990s palate-cleansing minimalism. So, as we enter 2023—and finding inside options that are form to both equally our sanity and the world feels additional crucial than ever—a perception of permanence is essential to comprehension which way the 2020s are headed. What will feel timeless or au courant for several many years to occur, and what is on its way to experience dated?
Vogue made a decision to talk to 13 interior designers to locate out.
For starters: earth tones—which, because of many thanks to their calming effects and associations with nature, greater in acceptance in the course of the pandemic years—still rule 3 several years in. Shades of brown go on their decor dominance, when intimate mauve, Kathryn M. Eire and Jake Arnold forecast, is the coloration of the year to appear. Meanwhile, many inside designers are opting for silver accents above gold or bronze. “Its charming shine and texture lend an daily sophistication to any room,” states Athena Calderone.
Particular design and style hallmarks from periods past are also making a return: after the dominance of the laid-again mid-century present day in the aughts and teenagers, for case in point, official accents are now producing a comeback. (As Robert D. McKinley surmises, we’re all craving a small far more sophistication right after expending all that COVID-period time in sweatpants.) A small far more controversially, potentially, brutalism is back in also. Concrete flooring everyone?
Nonetheless, preface this all with a “neo”. 2023 does not duplicate the earlier, but simply utilizes it as inspiration—our newfound curiosity in brutalism, for instance, makes absolutely sure to infuse the aesthetic notion with hotter touches. “That’s the cyclical nature of trends I suppose—they usually stem from someplace in historical past, allowing for modern-day interpretation,” Calderone observes.
What’s slipping by the wayside? It would seem the “modern farmhouse” aesthetic has hit its saturation stage, as have beds adorned with a million pillows. (C’mon, it just finishes up staying a large amount of litter.) We can also wave goodbye to quick furniture—unsurprising given that much more generally than not, it just finishes up discarded on a suppress. A more environmentally aware method to interior structure is often in.
When it arrives to inside layout models, contemporary interior design and style may be the most foreseeable future-considering. “What distinguishes it so a lot is that it is an ever-evolving style type, as opposed to some of the kinds in historical past wherever they have a really established time period of time and a very specific set of rules that they’re referring again to,” suggests Erin Sander, an interior designer primarily based in Dallas, Texas, and founder of Erin Sander Layout. Defined by thoroughly clean strains, decorated minimalism, and latest tendencies, modern day interiors are distinctly of-the-moment—even when the instant variations. Discovered through households, offices, and retail options, below Advertisement dives into just what will make this versatile model and how you can bring it into your house.
Historical past of modern interior structure
“Contemporary style came out immediately after the midcentury-contemporary movement,” Sander states. Setting up in the 1970s, the design was 1st found as far more of an amalgamation of different common aesthetics of the time, like modernism, postmodernism, and Artwork Deco. Slowly but surely the phrase up to date started out to consider on a which means of its personal.
This up to date house created by Erin Sander features a concrete console paired in opposition to all-natural features like wooden and greenery.

What is up to date in interior structure?
“From the 1970s ahead, it has ongoing to mature just as a extremely recent, quite on-pattern way to define a fashion that is moving forward,” Sander suggests. It could be recognized as a style design that pulls from several popular styles of a provided minute, developing a exceptional look that is undeniably “in.” This also signifies, on the other hand, that a modern day home may search distinctive at different instances. “Other designs that routinely recirculate have a lot of distinctive correlations,” Sander states. A midcentury-modern day aesthetic will just about usually make use of walnut-toned wooden, for example, in the identical way a farmhouse aesthetic will routinely include things like rustic decor. “With modern, there are not as several reference details,” she carries on, “and I assume what you are going to see is modern day borrows from so many distinct designs and brings together them all jointly.”
What does up to date design style imply?
“Typically I would determine contemporary more as a blending of kinds,” says Brad Ramsey, an inside designer dependent in Nashville. “It’s a minor a lot more eclectic, but it’s trend-forward, so contemporary is usually what’s on trend correct now.” Ramsey grew up in a modern household outdoors of Atlanta that was often properly-preferred by visitors for its uniqueness. “It had tall pitched ceilings that are all cedar slats within with skylights at the major,” he says. “And when I was escalating up, everyone constantly cherished coming more than to my household.” Even although his parents ordered the household in the ’80s, it’s stored its up to date status by way of considerate updates and modifications through the several years. “If it stays in the trends of when they purchased it, then it no longer really stays in that modern day experience you have to keep updating it,” he claims.
