#Keep It Natural

The aesthetic philosophy of wabi-sabi is all about embracing things that are incomplete or imperfect in some type of way. That materials exist in their raw and natural state, which only highlights their appealing unfinished textures. This is something you can expect to see in 2023. Think organic, sometimes raw materials, such as solid wood, marble, cotton, leather, natural fibers, and so on. Simple textures, which their natural finishes and imperfections will be the main source of their beauty. Expect to see more local, handmade, crafted products. Pieces with personality and a story to tell.

#Natural Minimalism

In 2023, you can expect to see both extremes of minimalism and maximalism. When it comes to minimalism, expect to see sustainable spaces which are decorated with organic materials and simple pieces. When it comes to color palettes for minimalism, there will be a lot of neutral and light tones. Think whites with warm accents and maybe some splashes of gray, lavender, or ochre. This year’s minimalist designs will be very Mediterranean-inspired.

#Colorful Maximalism

On the other extreme end of interior design, eclectic and maximalist designs will have their owner’s personalities shine through. With every year this design is taking a more bolder form, and we are here for it. You can expect to see a lot of warm colors, antiques, beautiful patterns, plants, and so on. This type of design helps to bring a strong personality to the space we live in. Mixing and matching different pieces to still create a cohesive beautiful space. Vintage, thrifted pieces are also expected to make appearances in maximalist spaces.

#Nature-Inspired Colors

When it comes to the living room color palettes, this year we look to nature for inspiration. Especially colors that inspire feelings of tranquility and peace. Think colors such as olive green, ochre, sage green, and more mixed in with natural materials such as raw wood. Such colors can be on the walls, or a sofa, vase, pillow, throw blanket, wallpapers, and more. Deep, rich colors are this year’s living room color palette. Combined with some more vibrant colors will bring life to any home.

#Round Shapes

While we already started to see this trend during 2022, don’t think it is going anywhere. More and more designers and homeowners are moving towards curved designs for the new year. It is rising in popularity more than ever. These organic shapes help bring a sense of comfort, tranquility, a connection with nature, and calmness to the living room. For minimalist spaces, such curved shapes will bring harmony to the room, while for maximalist spaces they will bring personality. Pieces without sharp edges create a sense of dynamism, and movement while making the space more delicate and ergonomic. And you won’t have to worry about hitting a sharp edge.

#Multifunctionality

This year is all about multifunctionality. In 2023, rooms will serve multiple functions. This is especially true for the living room. The living room is for resting, entertaining, bonding, and so on. So, why not have a game table in there? Or add a reading nook? Maybe a bar cart, if you enjoy making cocktails? Or a telescope for stargazing? The possibilities are truly endless.
