Global trends and societal moods influence many elements of life, including interior design. Modern household, office, and even public building furnishings mirror worldwide trends. This is very visible in the design trends of 2023, which have evolved dramatically.

Retro items, smart furniture, and natural materials will still be popular in 2023. However, theatricality and perhaps pandemonium will take the place of the ascetic minimalism that many people adore.

The top interior design trends for 2023 have been gathered based on design approach, color palettes, and material selection.

Designers are kept up to date on the latest interior design trends for 2023.

1- Soft minimalism

Minimalism is at the heart of all contemporary design. Refusing unnecessary consumption, amassing clutter, and creating excessive savings that stimulate more frequent purchases are all themes that have been for a long time and are not going away.

However, in the coming year, softer and "warmer" minimalism will take center stage. Modern minimalist interiors are becoming more colorful, pleasant, and personalized, although in the past they were frequently associated with cleanliness, drabness, and coldness. This may be noticed initially in the palette, where warm colors in the beige-brown paradigm are increasingly employed as a basis and diluted with mild tones of red, yellow, and orange before being very lightly tinted with contrasting achromats.

The color palette is enhanced by as much wood, cloth, and plant life as possible, as well as smooth, rounded shapes. The latter applies to both the furniture and the structure of the building, whether it is an apartment or a country house. Other styles, such as scandi, boho, country, and classics, can serve as a foundation for and compliment minimalism. This will give the interior more charm and character.

2- Smart House

Technology is evolving at such a quick pace that it is impossible to keep up with all of the new developments.

However, you should and can gradually bring them into your house. The owners' lives should be made easier by every interior element. Every single type of sensor, remote-controlled switch, timer, voice assistant, and smart device is a must for any apartment or private home. Start with simple local "helpers" instead of a comprehensive smart home system, such as a robot vacuum cleaner, remote-controlled curtains, water-saving faucets, multipurpose appliances, etc.

We can discern a second, more expansive manifestation of this trend at the level of architecture and planning. Even small-flat owners are attempting to find space for discrete technical facilities such as laundry, dressing rooms, and pantries. Previously, the emphasis was mostly on residential and front rooms. And this isn't just a congested meter-by-meter environment; there are well-designed, functional spaces that make living and logistics in the apartment much easier.

3- Back to the past

Another, virtually opposing trend—blatantly historical design—creates a fascinating counterpoint with active use of new technologies.

They do not, however, contradict one another in any manner. Interior nostalgia should not be seen as a complete rejection of progress. Contrary to common assumption, discreet technological solutions perfectly complement retro style, antique furniture, and authentic decor.

Analysts and designers predict a boom in demand for 1970s fashion. Curved and rounded designs mimic the organic shape trend, bringing coziness and nostalgic warmth that is desperately required.

4- Individualism and touches of artistry in the interior

Since it has been popular for several seasons, minimalism is progressively losing popularity as more opulent, inviting, and genuine interiors take their place. Now that theatricality is in vogue, the environment welcomes creativity and artistic turmoil.

The year 2023 will see an emphasis on art in interior design, giving owners more freedom to be creative. It makes use of sculptures, paintings, expensive furniture with rounded edges and unusual fixtures, intriguing doors with carved handles, and pricey, complicated lighting. Future decorations for the walls and ceiling have been planned in advance and include niches, textured plaster, painting, contrasting hues, and zonal lighting.

5- Retro in the interior

Antiques are currently fashionable and allow you to design truly authentic rooms. Vintage décor, antique furnishings, and frames for doors and windows that have been artificially aged all seem chic, pricey, and inviting.

The atmosphere is warm and energetic because of the sense of nostalgia and kinship with earlier generations.

Materials

Materials are among the interior design trends for 2023. 

1- Tactility

Minimalism, on the other hand, has taught us to build solid, verifiable visuals without adding any unnecessary features. Although these interiors appear amazing in photographs, many individuals find them to be unappealing in person. The abandonment of perfectly straight lines and smooth surfaces in favor of natural flaws may thus be seen in the works of both Russian and foreign designers. The Japanese are famed for their ability to appreciate beauty in its purest form, which explains why the japandi style has grown so popular.

Regardless of the direction, it is becoming more and more common in the interior:

●    Natural materials, such as unfinished or raw wood, unpolished stone, marble with natural chips, clay, coarse cotton, etc.
●    A geometrically imperfect object. For instance, circles or ovals with flaws or unbalanced angles.

2- Sustainable design

This concept originated in the economy and is based on the English term sustainability ("stability, stability").

Sustainable design is now actively being developed. Its distinguishing features include long-term environmental concern and production ethics. Aside from the content, it is critical to assess how the material was made: whether there was environmental harm, whether renewable resources were employed, and under what conditions.

It is also important to consider how the materials "function" in the interior. They must be long-lasting, easy to maintain, safe for people and animals, and, most importantly, comfortable. It makes no difference whether the material is real wood or bioplastic.

3- Innovation

The preceding and current trends are closely related. Designers look for and create innovative materials to preserve natural resources and safeguard the environment.

As a result, unusual developments frequently appear during events. Raw materials that are recyclable, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly are prioritized. Consider the following:

●    Mushroom mycelium skin instead of natural or synthetic.
●    Alternatives to concrete from certain types of sand and certain types of plants. The production of these substitutes releases less carbon into the atmosphere.
●    Seaweed or kombucha furniture.
●    Cork for facing the floor, walls, ceiling.
●    Non-standard use of materials - for example, facades made of recycled ceramic tiles or wood.
●    Furniture, partitions, decor created using 3D printing.

Trend colors

Think about the actual hues in 2023. These photographic ideas will undoubtedly provide you inspiration if you're thinking about remodeling an apartment.

1- Monochrome

The neutral basis won't go out of style or lose popularity in the upcoming years. 

Furthermore, there is a trend toward visual minimalism and monotony throughout the projects. When this color dominates the area, the idea that utilizing gray or beige as the base of the palette is too boring is not only disproved, but elevated to the exact opposite absolute.

The color palette's simplicity is offset by a range of expressive textures, from warm wool and natural wood to cold stone or concrete. Additionally, a few modest contrasting highlights can be added to soften the overall monochrome and create visual signals.

2- Herbs and spices

Warm color palettes will undoubtedly be fashionable in the upcoming year.

You can use any color, but brown, red, orange, and their derivatives will serve as a trend base. Consider a counter with a variety of spices and herbs, such as paprika, ginger, turmeric, curry, mustard, basil, saffron, cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, and so on. These colors go well with the textures of wood, stone, brick, and natural materials. They can also be balanced and rejuvenated with gray, white, black, or navy blue. This palette is appropriate for any area, including the kitchen (the most apparent choice in the associated series) and the bedroom or home office. 

3- Jewelry box

Any hues of precious stones or materials are another color trend.

These are all sophisticated, incredibly noble, and amazing colors that give the room depth and raise its price. Both artificial and natural light from windows make them look attractive. Such a "jewelry box" offers alternatives for both neutral finishes and vibrant accessories.

So,about pay attention to:

●    Dense warm shades - gold, amber, bronze, ruby , jasper, carnelian, onyx.
●    Cold tones - silver, malachite, azure, mother-of-pearl, quartz, obsidian, amethyst, sapphire.
