2023- Design Trends That Have Been Shaped By Our Experiences!
At the risk of reminding you of a trying time, a period of our new decade that we would much rather forget, it would be impossible to look at the design trends of 2023 without looking back at what we’ve come out of- 2 years of lockdowns and uncertainty.
With the advent of Work from Home culture that was enforced across the globe, we found a way to fulfil our professional duties from the confines of our four walls, and nobody was exempt. So as we lean towards understanding the greater values our homes have offered us, we have also begun adapting our mindset to creating more efficiency in our interior styling and design.
So let’s look at some of the key trends proposed by experts for 2023.
Minimalism Is Taking A Break:
Not entirely of course, minimalism serves a great purpose in offering a neutral canvas to keep adapting and adjusting at a lower cost, and minimalism will never truly be outdated but some aspects of minimalist interior design definitely will.
Stark whites, greys, and greige (Grey-beige) overwhelmed the home spaces as we shifted away from cluttered, colourful spaces in the late ...
... teens. The clean aesthetic was a breath of fresh air, but somewhere it became too sterile. It served the purpose of providing a calming home to return to from the busy outside world, but as we started spending more time within our homes, it became too sparse for us to keep that way.
If we consider a compact 2BHK in Dahisar or even a luxurious 3 BHK in Malad, off whites will always be a part of our homes, it’s the most palatable colour for your walls, for its brightening but comfortable effect, but we’re seeing a lot of people opt for more character to be injected into their homes as they foresee the possibility of spending longer hours there.
We see a lot of people opting for a warmer whites, and earthier colour palettes for their homes, like a taupe accent wall, green furnishings, or even hints of reds and deep pinks as they are an easy way to incorporate colour into the home, without interrupting the space and confining it.
Natural Or Sustainable Materials:
This may seem a little vague but allow us to explain. There is a resurgence in paper and fabric lighting, because of the warm ambient mood it offers a space in the evening time, allowing us to transition a little more intentionally to our down time. Coffee tables, desks, side tables and shelves made of wood that blend seamlessly into any space while still offering the option to be a statement piece. We’re also more focused on our work spaces being studier and longer lasting given how much we’ve had to use them! Injections of texture around the house with rugs and show pieces, to give us more of a tactile experience within our own space. When designing a luxurious 2BHK in Goregaon we recognised ample opportunity to layer the home with texture and character to break away from the cold, disconnected minimalism of the past few years, and a lot of that comes from natural materials that automatically make themselves at home wherever you place them!
Furniture That’s Here To Stay:
Who doesn’t enjoy fast furniture, and being able to change up your space without breaking the bank? However, we get what we pay for. Fast furniture is not only bad for the environment, but it is also of a far inferior quality, which doesn’t last, compared to the traditional furnishings we grew up around.
Now we all seem to have the same rectangular consoles, the same bookshelves of straight, unassuming lines, and the same furnishings from the same store. But as any top developer in Mumbai will tell you, it’s their job to give you the straight lines, the empty space, the four walls- it’s for you to add your individuality to it!
We’re more aware of the fact that every online meeting now proposes a glimpse into our personal space, and what others see on the screen can say a lot about us! More people are opting to invest in sturdy, longer lasting pieces of furniture with character as they start to recognise the utility in quality that serves as a statement, or piece of art in itself- we’re referring to predominately wooden furniture that once upon a time fell out of style but is making a huge comeback as vintage.
Curation Over Design:
The pandemic saw an explosion of new business, small business, and a resurgence of exploration on the internet. We became more conscious about what we were spending our money on, and a number of consumers pivoted from the usual names to the newer brands, the homegrown bunch. People started to pay attention to their surroundings and curate little bits and pieces for their homes, inadvertently injecting their own tastes into a space. We became more aware of artists whose works spoke to us, investing in paintings and prints that were unique, as opposed to mass-produced posters and obscure scenic photographs. We found homeware brands that made vases, clocks, tissue boxes, cushions, throws, and whatever we could think of that subconsciously piqued our interests. We took the time to look at the tableware and kitchenware that we had and compare it to what we wanted, which would bring us a little hint of joy. We have subconsciously started curating for our homes, reflecting our own style and tastes in our choices and that is what 2023 is heading towards- a greater representation of self in a space that has served us during a desperately trying time.
Trends at the end of the day are cyclical. What’s in today will be out tomorrow, only to return to vogue in 20 years. However, it’s important to recognise the gravity of why 2023 is seeing the shift, and how it correlates with the experiences we’ve faced over the Pandemic Years. The appreciation we’ve felt for the safety our homes provide us, the care we’ve taken in cleaning out years of accumulated things thgiveves us and our space more room to breathe, and the fundamental difference in how we view our homes today- not simply as a place for us to sleep, but as a space for us to grow.
