GOING NATURAL: DESIGN TRENDS FOR 2023

Interior design as an area of general interest really took off in 2020 with various simultaneous trends. First, there was Marie Kondo’s moment in the spotlight, where minimalism and austerity became synonymous with wellness and self-care.

These last two elements grew particularly important with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic a couple months later, with essentially the whole world being stuck inside their living quarters, and finally facing the ecosystem they’d built around them throughout the years

After the well-trodden paths of minimalism and cottage core design blew up in social media, new trends started to emerge, now embracing a more conceptual undertaking and dialoguing with the current global situation in social, cultural and even political terms That’s why design and decoration in 2023 seem to be leaning towards the naturally-inspired

Sustainability and environmentalism have been some of the most pressing concerns for the last couple decades, and the growth of remote work has made many really look for a way out of the hassle of urbanity and concrete spaces With that in mind, 2023 design’s theming can be understood as an ode to nature

How this is represented is through the use of organic and rawer forms, materials like wood and vegetal prints, and a general aim for authenticity of textures These aesthetics, however, will also continue to be embraced by the reign of minimalism and functionality, which help showcase and exalt even further the richness and vibrancy of a nature-inspired decoration, and vividness of the raw materials and texture’s artisan feel

Between the growth of raw luxury and the stranglehold of minimalist design, natural decoration seems like an intuitive trend to represent 2023’s overall vision in terms of urban development and design So start thinking green, and spark a little life to your living spaces by coming closer to Mother Earth!
