Metroflor Updates Evolving Design Trends for 2023
Advertisement
The trends that Metroflor’s Director of Design, Natalia Smith identified in Spring 2022 have evolved, as all trends do, reflecting changes in consumer attitudes that are ultimately expressed in style and design choices. Building on Metroflor’s renewed focus on thoughtful design of our LVT offering, trend spotting takes center stage in a newly updated “Behind the Design” video series revealing the evolving interior design trends that will influence consumers as we enter 2023.
Macro Trends
Macro trends reflect the major events that have occurred in the world causing shifts within the interior style trends. One of the major macro shifts Natalia is seeing right now is in the Cozy Living trend: feeling very cocooned, safe, and content within our homes. Meaningful Living is a new concept that has moved to the forefront, a desire to be better stewards of the planet and the people around us.
Calm Comfort
The Calm Comfort trend reflects the macro trend of Cozy Living — feeling very cocooned, safe, and content within our homes. Taking inspiration from Scandi vibes or minimalistic interiors, Calm Comfort can apply to homes with less visual noise, providing a sense of comfort inside the home, without bombardment from the outside world. Things are starting to warm up within this trend. Warmer whites can be coupled with neutralized accent colors that that really pop within the monochromatic theme.
Future Roots
The Future Roots trend evokes cave-like interiors reflecting the idea of people wanting to feel close to nature and cocooned, and Art Nouveau is a huge inspiration behind it with its arched and flowing contours. You're not going to see a lot of straight, clean lines; rather, natural curvaceous ones running through woodgrain. Future Roots is definitely starting to take hold, and we're seeing it happen in other products besides flooring. When you identify a new idea such as Future Roots that's five or more years out, yet household goods and other products are beginning to reference it, then you know that it's headed toward the mainstream.
Nature Home
Nature Home is inspired by the very tactile things from Nature, expressed through the texture of natural textiles like rattan, caning and nubby wools. Metroflor is translating the Nature Home trend into flooring by applying colors found in nature that correspond with material-focused colors within our decors. You’ll also see larger windows, and bringing more of the outdoors in visually, such as living walls and even moss wall installations which have evolved from commercial interiors into residences.
