Can you believe we're already in the second month of the new year? So many things have changed, especially with furniture design trends! Popular designs, colors, and furniture are all shifting in 2023!
But what are these trends, and what do they look like? Don't worry; We've got the scoop — take a look!
1. Comfortable Seating
The furniture design trend for 2023 is all about comfort and style. From oversized couches to rocker chair sets, cozy seating is the way to go this year. Whether outfitting a home office or creating a relaxing family room, look for furniture pieces emphasizing soft fabrics, plush pillows, and durable construction while still echoing the stylish trends you love!
2. Enhanced Multi-Function
Another trend we see coming in 2023 is enhanced multi-function, meaning rooms that cater to more than one activity. You want your space to reflect how you live, whether that means adding a home gym, game room, or workspace.
And with limited space in many homes, multi-functional furniture pieces are essential! Look for furniture designs that double as storage solutions or provide multiple functions, like an ottoman with hidden compartments or a sleek desk that turns into a bar cart. This type of furniture will help create spaces that are both stylish and efficient.
3. Green Trends
Sustainability is on the rise, and furniture design is no exception! The trend is for furniture made with raw, sustainable materials like reclaimed wood and eco-friendly fabrics with natural, clean lines and muted colors. But that's not the only green trend coming this year; there's plenty more!
- Emphasizing raw, natural materials like exaggerated veining and textures in marble, stone, and wood. You can also find wood with high-contrast grains!
- Sourcing your design from your local environment, like wool, sheepskin, and wood, for homes in snowy, mountainous areas or driftwood and wicker for coastal homes.
- Focusing on creating your space with the idea of wellness, especially in planning rooms with greater distance between zones.
- Indoor gardening is big! You can focus on large-scale indoor plants, rockeries, or gardens incorporated into the building structure for a natural look that breathes life into your space!
4. Maximize Natural Light
Bare windows and reflective surfaces are in this year! Maximizing the natural light in your home is the focus of this new year, which not only looks fantastic but brings health benefits like improved sleep patterns, increased focus and mood, and more vitamin D!
So, look for mirrored furniture pieces to distribute natural light throughout your space and make it feel larger. Additionally, look for furniture with glass elements that allow more light to enter the room and keep a white or neutral color scheme.
5. Curves On the Rise
Goodbye square furniture; hello curves! Furniture designs with arcs and rounded shapes have been on the rise, and we'll continue to see that in this coming year. For furniture, you should look for curved back sofas, barrel chairs, round poufs and pillows, tulip egg chairs, circular rugs, mushroom lighting, oval mirrors, and curved nightstands — wherever there's a curve, there's a way!
And it's not just curvy furniture on trend this year; it's curved architecture, too!
6. Vintage
Is vintage really ever out of style? That's up for debate, but what's not up for debate is vintage is definitely here to stay for 2023! Specifically, vintage mid-century modern furniture is trending, along with retro funk from the 60s and 70s and art deco-inspired pieces from the roaring 20s!
These pieces will bring visual interest to any space. But the best part is that you can revamp your inherited furniture by adding textiles and knits.
7. Modern Maximalism
While we're certainly seeing minimalism continue, modern maximalism is also rising. This means adding a few more layers to your space in the form of sculptural pieces or catering your existing space around works of art or collectibles that make a statement. So, if you have a collection you've been dying to showcase — now is the time!
Pro Tip: To efficiently layer your space, try grouping objects by similar color, material, or similar heights!
8. Change the Layout
Out with the old furniture layouts, in with the new! The furniture design trend for 2023 is about breaking traditional norms and creating unique furniture arrangements. You don't have to stick with the traditional sofa bookended by two side tables or matching chairs. Instead, anchor your space with distinctive pieces that stand out and make them the focus for a less traditional layout.
Don't be afraid to use alcoves or nooks you usually wouldn't have anything in — they're in style now! Use these spaces to layer and showcase more décor or use it as a multi-functional space, like a zen spot or reading nook!
9. Color Trends
You might have heard that 2023 will see a return of bold colors and standard neutrals, but what would that even look like? There are plenty of colors to consider:
- Green is the accent color of choice in 2023!
- Subtle golds offer earthy and natural vibes, which pair nicely with most design schemes.
- Natural colors to pair with your natural and sustainable design.
- Calming blues provide your space with serenity and refreshing vibes.
- Electric lavender tones for a gentle, fresh, and versatile space!
- Tiered monochrome throughout the room for a steady, peaceful area!
