As we enter 2023, interior design solutions that are kind to the planet and have a sense of permanence are leading the way in how we decorate our homes. We are placing more value on the origins of the products we purchase, manufacturing methods, and companies’ commitments to producing sustainable designs. There is also a strong focus on well-being by creating engaging spaces that are tranquil and meaningful through our selection of colours, materials and objects. Let’s take a look at the leading trends for 2023.
Earth Tones
With their calming effect and association with the natural world, beige, brown, coral, russet and cream are the colours to incorporate this year. There is a move away from the cool grey tones of last year to warmer, more comforting neutrals that are far more versatile.
Inkwood paint by Sanderson is a comforting coral-based hue that will uplift any interior space.
Accent with Green
From flooring to furniture and textiles, green will be the accent colour of the year. From deep moody greens to emeralds, this pop of colour will work in any room.
Bird Tapestry fabric by Morris & Co. in Tump Green retains William Morris’s high regard for craftsmanship, being woven by Morris & Co. craftspeople right here in the UK using a cotton-wool blend (80% wool).
Raw, natural materials
Dramatic and bold marble slabs are a huge trend this year, with the focus being on the natural qualities of the material. There is also a strong focus on texture, such as exaggerated veining in wood and highly textured stone. Contrasts in materials and high patterned grains are seeing more interest in interior design this year.
Emulating the clean, geometric lines of the 20th Century modernist sculptor Constantin Brancusi, this large versatile, fir-wood stool at Andrew Martin can also double up as a side table.
Craftmanship
Craftmanship and sustainable production are being embraced in interior design, which adds warmth to the home. From quality marquetry to hand-loomed rugs, craftmanship is being sought out as we move towards voicing our values through our purchases.
Working closely with the specialist weavers of Louis de Poortere, Romo’s design team has exquisitely translated a selection of popular designs from recent launches into textural flat weaves and luxurious hand-tufted rugs.
Modern Maximalism
There is a move towards more expressive interiors that incorporate sculptural silhouettes. Bold designs and collectable objects that are investments and have a sense of permeance are the pieces we will be incorporating into our home in 2023.
Manzara wallpaper panel by Harlequin. This atmospheric wallpaper panel resembles painted parchment, providing a stunning backdrop to the sculptural furniture in this interior. Diffused inks create a beautiful large-scale ombre with a relaxed, tonal movement and ethereal feel.
Bold borders
Borders are back, adding an accent of pattern and colour. No longer confined to lying horizontally, borders are being used in a more free-spirited approach to break up space in the room.

Contemporary Curtain Trims
Contemporary tassels, adornments and trims in iridescent hues can transform a room. The elevation of curtains with a flash of modern decoration will elevate your window dressing.
Oahu Embroidered Border Trimming by Samuel & Sons at Jane Clayton. Oceania is a collection of dimensional embroidered linen borders inspired by the tranquillity of the pacific ocean. The patterns in this collection are graphic in their rendering and come from studying sea life around the Hawaiian islands.
