Home Trends for 2023: What’s Old, What’s New
2023 is bringing a more relaxed and natural approach to home trends. What does that mean?
Old: Open Floor Plans
With the whole family in the house 24/7, the need to share every single space was extremely high during the pandemic. That resulted in the "open floor plan" phenomenon.
The urge to take walls out was at an all time high.
New: Functional, Purposeful Spaces
So, with the open floor plan moving out—what is replacing it? Spaces that serve their singular purpose. That means a kitchen that does one thing perfectly; it serves as a place to prepare and cook food. Putting a few walls up makes this even more obvious. Walls serve as transitions, both physical and mental.
Functional spaces are important. After all, not every room in your home must be everything. We suggest you focus on the needs of that space and design around that.
Old: Contemporary Farmhouse
Say goodbye to those sliding barn doors, artificially distressed furniture, and the coziness of the farmhouse style. While the trend, when executed well, still looks great, many homeowners are skipping the look and favoring something more modern, bold, and just as cozy.
New: Making a Statement
Bright, bold colors and modern, functional furniture are in. That means filling your home with cheerful colors, hanging fun art, and finding furniture that is just as unique as it is comfortable.
Old: Stark Minimalism
Charcoal, gray, and other moody colors are behind us. Homeowners want a family-friendly interior that is cheerful, warm, inviting, and free of those hard angles.
New: Warm & Natural
Warm, cozy colors, super comfortable furniture, and plenty of greenery are in right now. So, too, are natural patterns like wicker, wood grain, and anything else that evokes the best of the outdoors.
People want to bring the outside in, so warm, sunny colors and plenty of indoor plants can help with that illusion.
