A few years ago, the design world started talking about “outdated” trends. These were styles that were popular in the 70s and 80s, and were likely to make a comeback soon. But in the end, they didn’t. The idea is to create a home that looks unique and authentic, and to avoid trendiness and cliches that can quickly date the space.
But if you’re looking for a new look that isn’t outdated, there are plenty of ways to get the style you want without investing in old furniture or decor. Here are some of the most recent furniture trends to keep an eye out for in 2023:
Accent Walls
Curved walls are having a major moment, and that’s expected to continue in the coming year. Interior designer Rudolph Diesel tells Insider that people will opt for more accent walls to add definition and eye-catching elements to spaces.
Matte Finished Cabinets
A matte finish on cabinets and furniture is the perfect way to keep a clean, modern look in your home. It’s a great alternative to shiny metallic finishes and is sure to make a statement in any room.
Jewel Tone Colors
Jewel tone colors are warm and inviting, and they’re a trend that’s only growing in popularity. They can be used on countertops, cabinets and furniture pieces alike, and you can pair them with a variety of different palettes to ensure you find one that works best for your room’s style.
Shabby Chic
The shabby chic movement is all about reusing items that would otherwise be thrown away, and this trend is here to stay. It’s a great way to create a cozy, welcoming feel in your home without spending too much money on new decor, and it can be achieved with just a few simple steps.
Hand-Painted Accessories
This is another way to create a look that’s unique and personal without spending too much on new decor. There are so many handmade designs popping up on the market that will help you to bring a special touch to your room.
Vintage Trends
The vintage trend has made a big comeback in the past few years, and it’s expected to continue to do so in 2023. However, the sexy looks from a few decades ago aren’t what people are going for today, and instead, we’re seeing vintage pieces with soft fabrics and edges featured.
Sustainable Design
Sustainability is an important issue in the design world, and many people are beginning to take it seriously. That’s why we’re seeing an increased focus on using materials that are more eco-friendly, like wood from sustainable sources, metals from recycled sources and glass and ceramics from renewable resources.
Second-hand shopping has also become increasingly popular, and that’s expected to grow in 2023. While it’s still a bit of a challenge to find quality furniture and other accessories that aren’t brand-new, second-hand shopping can be done with confidence if you know where to look.
Faux Plants
It’s a common practice to use faux plants and flowers in your decor, but they’re not a good option if you’re planning on keeping them for a long time. They tend to get dusty and faded over time, so they’re not a good investment.
