Short on inspiration? From ‘colour drenching’ to designs that encourage connection with nature, you’ll find plenty of fresh ideas from the world of interior design this year. Whether you’re switching things up at home or taking on a new property development project, these are the home decor trends you’ll want to recreate in 2023. 

A comeback for colour

It’s been almost impossible to escape the influence of the Scandi-inspired neutral colour palette. But a cultural shift has seen this style now described as ‘sad beige’ or ‘boring Mrs Hinch grey’ with more of us turning to brighter shades that boost our moods. 

One of the top techniques for introducing colour to our homes also happens to be the most daring. Colour drenching is ‘the process of choosing one colour and painting it across multiple surfaces in one space’ to create a space that feels both contemporary and inviting. 

And while rejuvenating blues, greens and yellows have become the most popular candidates for a colour drench, this trend leaves you with a rainbow of shades to choose from. Perfect for creating a home as unique as you are. Just remember to opt for unfinished internal doors you can paint to match for the full effect.

Bedrooms become more indulgent 

There’s nothing new about the idea of making your bedroom a relaxing space. However, bedroom trends for 2023 breathe new life into the concept with inspiration coming from vintage references and nostalgic designs from time periods such as the 1920s. 

Interior designers say classic prints such as floral motifs, checks and stripes are all making a comeback. Traditional furniture, oak doors, patterned upholstery, natural textures and scalloped edges provide extra opportunities to infuse personality. Underpinning the trend, of course, should be a restorative muted colour palette to induce a blissful night’s sleep.

Traditional prints and furniture are back in style, and BedKingdom offer plenty of timeless bedding designs. Their high-quality beds provide the comfort and support you need for a restful night’s sleep.

Biophilic design takes over 

It’s no secret that connecting with nature is good for us. Luckily biophilic design provides an easy way to create harmony between your home and the natural world. The term comes from the word biophilia which means a love of life and living things. Biophilic design refers to the process of bringing the outdoors into our homes with the aim of bolstering our wellness. 

Simple biophilic design ideas include making use of natural materials such as wood and creating colour palettes inspired by flora and fauna. You could go even further and make biophilic design part of your #SlowLiving lifestyle. This could look like:

• positioning your favourite armchair by an open window for some extra fresh air
• installing glazed internal doors to allow natural daylight to flow between rooms
• curating a shelf (or three) of happy houseplants you can mindfully nurture 
• taking a moment to watch the seasons change through a set of sliding doors

Essentially, it’s all about creating an environment where connecting with nature feels easier and more intuitive. The idea being that we’ll feel calmer, happier and more peaceful as a result. Home decor trends that support our wellness? We’re here for it.

Bathrooms go bold

And finally, it’s time to show some TLC to a room that’s so often merely an afterthought: the bathroom. In 2023, bathrooms will be less about pure functionality and instead resemble dreamlike spas (according to the world’s top experts in home decor trends). 

Elaborate tiling, brightly coloured cabinetry, decorative lighting, design-led internal doors and statement tubs are just some of the interior design microtrends fuelling the bold bathroom revolution. But it doesn’t stop there…  
Interior designers predict we’ll see bathrooms become the focal point of the home in 2023. They primarily cite the trend for ‘blending’ different styles to add character or sticking to one clear aesthetic such as ‘Japandi’. Custom pieces (think: quirky mirrors, gold hardware and bespoke fixtures) then bring together the luxurious final look.
