Trends in interior design may not shift as quickly as they do in the fashion sphere, but a new year is certain to bring new design trends to the table. While redecorating an entire home is not as feasible as replacing clothing in your wardrobe, small touches can make your home feel up-to-date. Here are some interior design trends that are making their way into popularity this year, as well as a few tips to incorporate these styles into your current home.
Brutalism

Brutalism is back. Brutalism is a design and architectural style that calls for all things concrete, minimalistic, and industrial. 2023’s version of brutalism features concrete floors & furniture, softened by natural elements such as wood, plants, and softer fabrics. To incorporate brutalism into your home, focus on rough textures, metals, and a light-handed approach to color.
Maximalism

Maximalism insists that more is more. To achieve a perfectly curated maximalist look, opt for a controlled clutter. Display your art and decorative pieces intentionally while keeping household items and actual clutter stored away. To add to the controlled chaos, play around with mixing patterns in rugs, wallpaper, and furniture.
Neoclassicism

Neoclassicism is a Greek/Roman-inspired style and remains a favorite of many homeowners due to its timeless nature. For the neoclassic look, swap your gray walls to a warm white or muted color (bonus points if the color continues from the baseboards to the ceiling). Additionally, add crown molding and wainscotting to the walls to enhance the room’s architectural style. Dress your windows with floor-to-ceiling drapery and accent the ceiling with a statement lighting fixture. For furniture and other decor, bring modern touches in to keep the space from feeling too stale.
European Farmhouse

The European Farmhouse style is a perfect combination of the relaxed-feel of the American Farmhouse with a more old-world European touch. The American variety became oversaturated in the eyes of many interior designers, while the European sort is a great way to make your home both enduring and stylish. To make the transition, swap out the wordy decor, shiplap, and bold accent colors for earth tones and vintage/antique furniture.
