Here's our top 10 interior design trends for 2023 to keep an eye on:
1. Entertaining at home: As people start to socialise more after the pandemic, hosting gatherings at home has become increasingly popular. Entertaining friends and family in the comfort of your own home is a fantastic way to create memorable experiences, build stronger relationships, and express your personality through the design of your space. One way to make hosting more enjoyable is to create a designated entertaining area, such as a home bar or drinks cabinet, where you can mix drinks and showcase your favorite spirits. A drinks cabinet can also serve as a statement piece and focal point in your space, adding to the ambiance of your gatherings.

3. Bold Colours and Textures: Another trend that's likely to be popular in 2023 is the use of bold, vibrant colours and textures. This trend is all about creating a sense of energy and excitement in a space, whether it's through bright accent walls, colourful furniture, or bold patterns on textiles. Designers will need to strike a balance between using enough colour and texture to make a statement without overwhelming the senses. Viva Magenta was voted Pantone colour of the year for 2023, a bright and bold crimson-red hue that represents optimism, joy, resilience, and outside-the-box thinking.

This could mean combining traditional and modern elements, or incorporating unexpected materials like metal or concrete into furniture or decor. The key is to create a cohesive, harmonious look that feels fresh and unique.
