Colors
Rich, Muted Tones
2023 is shaping up to be all about rich, vibrant colors in muted tones. Think mauve, chocolate brown, dark green, beige, greige, rust and muted tones of red, yellow and orange. Such color schemes create a lovely warm and bright space that welcomes a lot.

Warmer Neutrals
In terms of neutrals, warm, earth tones complement those rich hues well. We see a trend in 2023 toward warm, non-intrusive, neutral tones and materials, which provide comfort and security. Raw, organic materials, and tones such as brown ocher, offer a cozy-yet-modern grounding base.

Styles
Mediterranean Minimalism
The trend is characterized by its preference for light and neutral tones, such as whites in different ranges, with warm accents and shades of ocher, grey, and lavender. In fact, in living rooms in this minimal Mediterranean style, ornamentation is almost always superfluous. Beauty is achieved through the sculptural nature of a few select pieces and their own materiality. It follows other trends like the use of natural and local materials, often left in a raw state; a friendly and functional minimalism, in which nothing is superfluous, and everything is useful; a soothing environment in which light plays an essential role.

Eclectic Maximalism
At the other extreme of design trends, it seems that in 2023, we will also see more maximalist and eclectic interiors, in which the personalities of the residents become the main focus. Vintage maximalism—lots of color, warmth, antiques, and eclectic touches—is about to be huge.

Furniture
Curves
Everyone is embracing the move towards appealingly curved designs. We will be able to find them in interior and exterior furnishings as well as in decorative elements. These organic shapes bring calm, tranquility, and extra comfort. To find connections with nature and to create cozy spaces, curved and organic shapes will be popular. They will show up in two different forms. For minimalist spaces, these silhouettes will create calm and harmonious rooms. For colorful, maximalist rooms, curved furniture will give them a lot of personality. Pieces without edges provide a sense of movement and dynamism, while creating more friendly, feminine, delicate, and ergonomic environments.
