What are the most popular interior design styles in 2023?

Some of the most popular interior design styles I'm seeing in 2023 include modern farmhouse, contemporary minimalism, and bringing elements of nature into the home with lots of plants, rattan and wood textures Neutral, earthy colour palettes are still going strong Also seeing a lot of bold saturated colours like deep blues, and plaster walls to add texture, are proving popular!

What should you consider when you ' re choosing your interiors?

When choosing interiors, you first need to consider your lifestyle and needs Do you have kids or pets that require durable fabrics? What's your budget? Also look at the architecture and layout of your home - you want to complement what's already there I always start by figuring out my goal for each room before selecting any specific pieces

Do you think its better to go for one idea throughout the house or go for lots of different ideas?

When designing a space, lifestyle factors still need to be considered first But also think about adding small luxe details like faux fur throws or velvet cushions to create an inviting, glam feel through "micro-luxury " Mixing traditional elements like plaster walls with modern saturated colours can make for an eclectic, personalised look

Where do you gather inspiration from?

I tend to mix up styles between rooms, to keep things interesting! Having a cohesive overall feel is good but playing with different trends in different spaces brings personality I might do hotel luxe in the living room and modern farmhouse kitchen with some contemporary features to accent the space When designing our family home, I loved the idea of contrasting the classic Tom Howley kitchen, with industrial crittal doors!

How can Room AI app help people to choose their own style?

For inspiration, I browse interior design magazines and accounts on Instagram and Pinterest I also find inspiration from nature, travel, art and fashion I'm always noticing little details like a textile pattern or colour combination that sparks new ideas

The Room AI app is great for experimenting with different interior design styles You can upload a photo of any room and let artificial intelligence (AI) take over and provide you with various different styles and themes, which you can use as inspiration!
