Whether you decide to take them or leave them, these are the major interior design trends for 2023 that we think are worth considering.




SCULPTED RATTAN

Our obsession with natural materials and craft skills is getting shapely as weavers go three-dimensional with curvaceous cane rounded rattan and bent bamboo.




ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISPLAYS

Create an archaeological curio cabinet by showcasing sculptural 'artefacts' inside narrow and graphic wall-mounted display cases for a modern living room trend.

Combine found objects and textured materials alongside miniature sculptural forms to create an intriguing display whilst sticking to a primitive neutral palette.




MARBLING 2.0

What exactly is it about marbling that is so beguiling? The latest takes on the craft is pushing it to its boundaries. We're enamoured with Nat Maks wallpaper made with the Japanese Suminagashi technique.

Translated as 'floating ink', the Suminagashi process involves floating special sumi ink on the surface of water. It's then manipulated with sumi brushes, which are very similar to Japanese calligraphy brushes. The results? Almost other worldly.




TEXTURED FURNITURE

Texture design is the latest part of the ridged renaissance that surfaces have seen over the last few years. Glass panes have become fluted, tiles take a tactile twist and the smartest wallpaper ideas explore the three dimensional.

Now it’s the turn of furniture to get involved. Cabinets, wardrobes, sideboards, drawers and desks are eschewing flat fronts, smooth doors and level panels in favour of something a little more decorative, as thin, slat-like grooves take over storage in every room of the house.




JAPANDI

Japandi style blurs Japanese minimalism with pared back Scandi cool. The Japandi trend, adopted by design lovers for it's minimalistic and harmonious style, offers simplicity and function and a timeless design aesthetic.




GREEN WALLS

Along with the upsurge in biophillic design, the colour green has also increased in popularity. Science can show that just looking at something green can decrease heart rate and alleviate stress.

Charu Ghandi says. 'Green has been a noticeably prevalent colour in our recent work, with many suppliers using varying shades in their fabric ranges and indoor foliage and botanicals featuring in many of our briefs.'

'Green promotes a sense of connection with nature, which many of us are missing at present, and so we think the popularity of the colour will continue into next year but will move away from forest greens to more muted, olive greens.'
