Trends in decorating one’s living space are constantly changing. Each year there is something new that takes the world by storm, but what about all of the trends that have already made their mark? There are many home decor themes that not only continue to be popular today, but also likely to still be trending in 2023. Here’s the lowdown.
1. Coastal Living
The beach is a popular spot for vacations, but it is also the focus of many people’s home decorating. Beach-themed living rooms are very relaxing and simple to set up. All that one needs are some well-placed ocean watercolours around the room in order to give the beach a feel without being overbearing about it.
There are plenty of simple ways to incorporate a beach theme into your living space. A few examples can involve a sectional sofa with palm tree print or using shells and driftwood as decoration.
2. Industrial Style
Minimalist industrial style is becoming increasingly popular in living rooms. It involves creating a space that looks like it was once an old factory but has been given new life by turning it into a living space. This trend can be easily brought into home decor by adding industrial-style pieces. From wrought-iron light fixtures to unfinished wood furniture, the possibilities are endless when it comes to this on-trend style.
3. Eclectic Style
Eclectic styles incorporate many different home decor themes and ideas into one space. There is no specific theme or colour scheme that must be followed in order for a room to fit into this category. Rather, the only requirement is that there is a little bit of everything in the room. Many people choose to combine industrial pieces with more modern decor to create an eclectic space.
The great thing about this style is that it allows for customizing the look and feel of your home however you want, be it whimsical or minimalist. For those who love decorating but don’t want to commit to just one style or colour scheme, this is the perfect decorating choice.
4. Shades of Grey
Grey decor has been seen everywhere over the past few years and it doesn’t seem to be going out of style anytime soon. Many people choose gray as an accent colour but others take it a step further and transform their entire home into a grey wonderland.
There are many ways to experiment with decorating in grey. From accent walls to furniture, this neutral colour can be used in its true form or it can be mixed with other colours or patterns for a more unique look. This year’s most popular home decor themes will include bringing the beach inside, creating an industrial atmosphere.
5. Interior Plants
Whether real or fake, decorating with plants is on-trend. Many people are bringing live green indoors in order to create a more relaxing atmosphere while some are using faux plants in place of the real thing in hopes of saving some money and time watering them.
Plants have a great calming effect in any room and can be used to spruce up any space, from living rooms to bathrooms. There are many different styles of faux plants available for purchase and many people choose to line their window sills with live plants in order to bring nature indoors without having a large garden or yard.
6. White Accents
White is a neutral colour that can work with many different styles. From beachy to industrial, white accents have been seen in many home decor magazines and websites over the past few months and it shows no sign of slowing down.
White doesn’t need to be used as an accent colour and can serve as a large focal point within a space while still allowing other colours, patterns and textures to shine. It is a versatile colour that can be used to create a minimalistic look or it can be used in a more bold and daring way to create a statement within the space.
7. Metallic Accents
Another popular theme will involve metallic accents. Whether silver, gold or bronze, grey isn’t the only shade of metal being used in home decor.
From picture frames to wall art, people are beginning to use metal more than ever before. Not only is it an on-trend colour, but it brings a sleek and modern feel into any space. Different shades of metal can be combined with other colours or patterns in order to create the perfect look for any room within a home or apartment.
8. Statement Lighting
Statement lighting is another theme that will be seen throughout many homes in 2023. Whether it’s a chandelier in the foyer or oversized pendant light in the kitchen, statement lighting is making its way into modern design and decorating.
There are different types of statement lighting, all of which can give a room a completely unique look. Chandeliers can be used in the living room to make a statement while pendant lights work better in the kitchen, dining or bedroom. Statement lighting can also take many different forms, from outdoor lanterns to lamps that accompany accent chairs and couches.
9. Mixing Old With New
Another popular decorating theme is mixing old and new items together. Whether it’s side tables that have been sitting in a garage for a few years or a funky 70’s chair that has been repurposed, mixed combinations are on-trend this year.
Pairing an old piece with a new one opens up the possibilities of what you can do with the room. If it’s an old chair, consider painting it a bright colour in order to bring vibrancy to the space. If it’s a dresser that is no longer used for clothes, make it into shelving or try using it in another room. Mixed combinations are not only fun but they can save money as well.
10. Mid-Century Modern
Last but not least, a popular home decor trend this year will be mid-century modern pieces. This style is mostly seen inside tables and coffee tables with clean lines and a unique look.
Mid-century modern was popular back in the 1950s and ’60s and it made a comeback because of its fun geometric shapes and patterns while still being simple enough to be used in any space. From the kitchen to the bedroom, people are finding new ways to incorporate this classic style into their home decor.
What Will Be The Cost for Home Decoration in 2023?
The cost of home decoration in 2023 is estimated to be significantly higher than it is today. By 2023, the cost of renovating a home may have doubled or more. This rising trend of increasing costs is due to a number of factors, including inflation and the availability of certain materials becoming scarce.
“Homeowners who plan on remodeling their homes in the next few years should take these predictions into account and begin planning accordingly. With careful budgeting and some creativity, homeowners can still achieve their desired look without breaking the bank.” – said interior designer Kelly Wearstler.
To get the most out of their money, many people will choose to do some DIY projects instead of paying for professional services. Additionally, shopping sales and using cheaper alternatives can help reduce overall costs as well.
Does Trending Home Decor Increase Home Price?
Homeowners and potential buyers have long been curious about the idea of whether trendy home decor can actually increase the value of a house. As it turns out, there’s more to the answer than meets the eye. While trendy home decor can certainly make a house look more attractive and modern, there is no guarantee that it will lead directly to an increase in price.
That said, hiring an interior designer who is familiar with current trends and knows how to apply them in ways that fit each individual space can be extremely beneficial when it comes time to put your property on the market.
According to Chicago realtor Rafael Murillo, “A savvy interior designer will know what kinds of changes or improvements should be made in order to maximize the sale price while still keeping things tasteful and cohesive. This could include anything from updating fixtures and furniture, down to smaller details like color schemes or art pieces that tie everything together nicely.”
It is clear that many of the popular home decor themes from 2022 are still likely to trend in 2023. From sleek and modern to traditional and cozy, there is something for everyone. Homeowners should take the time to explore what trends best fit their style and design preferences, as well as the overall look they want to achieve in their homes. Taking into account comfort, practicality, and aesthetics can help create an inviting space that reflects personal style while remaining in vogue.
