Are you ready to take on the challenge of designing your new home? If you like to innovate and keep up with the latest in interior design layouts, then this article is for you.
Let’s take a look at some top trends making an impact in 2023.
Bold Arches
You may have noticed a comeback with arched mirrors, hallways, doors; as well as cabinetry, windows and sofas. There’s something aesthetically pleasing about a soft, curvy shape, particularly in the way it can instantly transform an interior space from harsh to subtle beauty.
What we love about arches is how it creates beautiful synchronicities between different areas of the home, making it feel cozier and more welcoming as you move through it. It’s a smart way to give the illusion of space – with many interiors moving away from strong, sharp edges and evolving into contemporary curvy shapes to soften a space.
Private Retreats, Libraries & Creative Rooms
Having a private place to retreat into is a big priority for many homeowners this year. Think a dedicated art space, music room, private library, meditation or pilates room - whatever you desire, well, this could become your reality.
We all have hobbies that make our lives more fun and enjoyable. Whether you enjoy sewing, knitting, painting or getting away from it all when life gets too busy, having a comfy space that you can retreat to daily is a winner.
Mud Room
You may recall watching The Block back in 2022 where the modern Mud Room first came into focus for many of us. Very common on farming and large acre properties, this trend is fast becoming an enviable option for a broad range of inner city dwellers.
The contemporary Mud Room is often a small area inside the front door where we can sit down, take our shoes off or pop a coat onto a hanger before entering the house.
This doesn’t have to be an overly large area – perhaps the size of a compact laundry will suffice. If you prefer something more elaborate, then go for it. Think beautiful drawers, cabinetry, stylish tiling, wall cladding and comfortable bench seat to finish off your designer mud space.
More Windows
Why build walls when you can have more windows instead? More people are yearning for a feeling of nature, open space and a home that doesn’t feel too claustrophobic. During Covid, we spent so much of our time indoors with not much connection to the outside world that it’s now become an essential interior design trend.
This year, we are seeing a huge upsurge in larger homes with more windows, giving us that feeling of greater freedom and beauty inside. Whether you choose to cover it up with beautiful sheer curtains or keep it bare, either option would look great.
