The 5 best interior design trends in 2023
Make sustainable design choices
Shoppers in Dubai are more mindful than ever before about choosing environmentally-friendly options. More emphasis is being given to materials that are not only sustainable and recycled, but are also non-toxic and sturdy.
Try bold hues in your rooms
Interior design experts are sensing a shift toward bolder colours. People are looking to transform their homes with painted nooks, moody wallpaper, warm wood tones and colourful upholstery. When done right, these colours create depth and mood.
Pick out vintage patterns
Grandmillennial styles are popular this year with patterns like chintz and chinoiserie popping up in pieces like wallpapers, textiles and wall art. Grandmillennial décor helps create an eclectic and cosy space that feels a bit like your grandparents home – but with a stylish, modern edge.
Add a statement rug
In just one move spruce up a living space or bedroom with just one design move. In fact, a rug should be the first thing you select when designing a room, so it inspires a colour palette and design theme for the whole space.
Create a relaxation spot in your home
There is a huge trend towards creating a cocoon within the home including rooms fully devoted to meditation, reading and general relaxation. And if there aren’t extra rooms in your home to design there’s still an opportunity to create a more peaceful space with soft sofas and cashmere throws.
