Trends 2023
I’ve had the pleasure of listening to a webinar this week with Sonia Audoly on the trends for this year.

Sonia is also a stylist and design editor who still collaborates with magazines such as Elle décor, Vogue Casa and Marie Clare Maison. Sonia draws her ideas from Milano Design Week, Maison Objet and Stockholm Furniture Fair.
In this blog I’ll give you my take on this years trends and what we might see this year in Interiors.
Firstly lets take a look at Pantones colour of the year: Viva Magenta.
Viva Magenta is a shade rooted in nature originating from the red family and demonstrating of a new signal of strength. Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, and a vivacious colour whose liveliness promotes a joyous and positivecelebration, writing a new narrative.

This years trends are focusing on the following:
Handcrafted items, artisan products and going back to the roots of products. Items like handmade furniture like chairs, rugs, vases and baskets. And beautiful pendants like you see pictured here.

An Elevation in Sustainability and using waste to create building materials and products. Recycled plastic furniture as an example. Using the building materials from the old buildings to create cement bricks for the new building.
Silestone® is a hybrid surface made from premium natural minerals and recycled materials to create bathroom and kitchen products such as baths, sinks and bench tops.

The colours on trend for this year from Pantone
Another trend is going back to family heirlooms and cultural heritage. Using old pieces in a vignette. Fabric and wallpaper using design and details from history and creating authentic spaces with these items.
Marble is a on the cards for 2023 for bench tops, basins, splashbacks and floors.

You will also see furniture with curves and round edges and legs, that are welcoming and comfortable.

You will see more artisan and one off pieces. Old fashion and ancient forms and shapes with influences from ancient Greece and Rome. Traditional textures and patinas digging into history and bringing them new life.
There will be an increase in maximalism with mixes of bold patterns, shapes and clashing colours. But on the other end of the spectrum you’ll find calming interiors with nature brought inside. Tranquil spaces with sustainability in mind.
