Curating the details that fit your home and make it yours is always an individual process based on your personality, needs, budget and preference. The best design is not a replica of the latest trends but a custom articulation of the individual designer or homeowner’s interpretation of them. Ironic, then, that personal expression is very on-trend for 2023. That, and smart homes…

1. Cozier spaces.

As spacious and expansive as openconcept floor plans are, post-pandemic the consensus seems to be that there is such a thing as too much togetherness. Intimate retreats reimagined from nooks and crannies and in-between spaces are in demand, along with areas that promote privacy, such as libraries, home offices and yoga rooms.

2. Moodier use of color.

Although timeless, the Scandinavian aesthetic characterized by white and wood is now giving way to richer, more emotional color palettes. Dramatic, evocative palettes— including jewel tones—have increased in popularity, part of a larger trend toward self-expression.

3. Floating vanities.

Popular for its versatility and use of space, the floating vanity now figures largely in residential bathroom renovations and new builds, and for good reason. They are more portable, just as durable as floor-standing vanities and generally competitive in price.

4. Elevated mindset.

Less about the glam or expensive furnishings, taking a luxe approach to design in 2023 is about an appreciation for the finer things, creating a custom space that feels warm, inviting and timeless. Interpreted in any number of ways, this principle might be rendered through the quality and sustainability of the materials, the type and amount of available light or the rustic comfort of wood and stone accents.

5. Black Accents.

From doors to cabinetry to lighting fixtures and other finishes, the trend toward accenting in black appears to be growing, especially since it pairs well with different colors and mixed metal finishes. Sophisticated and dramatic, it complements any space well.

Whether you are remodeling your space for personal enjoyment or looking to sell in 2023, figuring out the best way to interpret design trends and create a comfortable, inviting space is a process.
