Spring 2023 Home Decor Trends
With each new season comes an opportunity to refresh our spaces and create more style, beauty, and functionality in our homes. With that in mind, I’ve been scouting out the spring 2023 home decor trends and design styles to share with you today.
Before we get into the top interior design trends for spring, there really are no “rules” for decorating your home, other than doing what makes you happy and works best with your lifestyle and preferred design style.
So when I talk about interior design trends, I don’t want to give you the idea that you need to follow the crowd.
However, I do think it helps to have a general idea of the current decorating trends – first, because it opens your mind to new ideas and inspiration; and second, because it helps make the decision process easier when you’re shopping for new items for your home.
Moreover, by looking at your spaces with a fresh perspective, you can often breathe new life into your home simply by using pieces you already own.
Trend 1: Restorative Spaces
We all want our spaces to feel like a retreat, so for spring 2023, the sensory experiences of our homes will become more important than ever.
As people update their homes in 2023, they’re taking into account things like lighting, sound, and tactility, designing spaces to encourage restoration and relaxation.
Last year, when we updated our master bathroom, I wanted to make this space feel like a calming retreat, so we included a lot of white, a freestanding tub, a padded stool, and a soft bath mat for warmth underfoot:
You can easily create restorative spaces in your home by incorporating cozy furniture, soft throw blankets, ambient lighting, and color palettes to create the mood you’re going for.
Spring Trend 2: Luxurious Bedrooms
The next spring 2023 home decor trend is luxe spaces — especially luxurious bedrooms — which makes sense when you look at the other trends on this list.
As we continue to rethink how we use our spaces, designing them around maximum comfort and functionality, our bedrooms are becoming calming, resort-like spaces where we can relax, recharge, and restore.
In spring 2023 and beyond we’ll see bedrooms features luxurious bedding (soft linen bedding is hugely popular right now), comfy mattresses, elegant upholstered headboards, and dedicated spaces for relaxing, yoga, or meditation.
By the way, if you’re looking for spring bedding for 2023, Pottery Barn is running a bedding sale right now, with free shipping.
Trend 3: Bringing Nature Indoors
With the advent of spring, our love for bringing the outdoors in will continue, but in a more sophisticated way, with the incorporation of plants (biophilic design) and natural materials like rattan, cane, leather, jute, wicker, ceramics, and woven lighting, furniture, and decor.
Miniature greenhouses and contemporary conservatories are another look that will be trending in the coming year, whether that involves adding a plant-filled spot in a sunny corner of your home or creating a garden-inspired space with patterned wallpaper.
Color trends for spring 2023
Tying in with the above trend, a muted nature-inspired palette of soothing greens and timeless blues will take center stage for spring and summer 2023.
Since natural color schemes reduce stress, increase productivity and creativity, and generally make us happier, these colors tie in beautifully with the rest of the trends on this list.
If you saw my post on the Top Home Color Trends for 2023, you know soft muted tones are on almost everyone’s “Colors of the Year” list.
For a timeless look, I always return to blue as a color that promotes calmness, positivity, and elegance in a space.
Blue works well with all other hues and tones, bringing a lightness and reassuring quality to our homes that will resonate with our lifestyles throughout spring and summer 2023 and beyond.
Trend 4: Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic
Tying in with the above, last year’s Coastal Grandmother trend is still going strong and influencing on 2023 spring and summer interior design trends.
Incorporating a mix of fresh modern coastal and Hamptons style interiors inspired by Nancy Meyers movies, coastal grandma style embraces a relaxed, elevated lifestyle — even if you don’t live near the coast or aren’t a grandmother.
Trend 5: Curves
In spring 2023 and beyond, we’ll continue to see plenty of soft, rounded furniture; curved backs on chairs; sloped arms on sofas; rounded waterfall corners on countertops, desks, and consoles; cushy ottomans; and curved accent pieces.
