As we are rapidly approaching the new year many people are thinking about new beginnings for themselves, but also for their home interiors. Home improvements are a much easier new year’s resolution to stick to than many others and the sense of satisfaction you’ll get once they’re done makes it all worth it.

The kind of home improvements you want to do will depend on which parts of your home you are unsatisfied with and how much of an impact you want to make. Home improvement can be as small as giving a single room a fresh lick of paint, or as extensive as a complete remodelling. You will need to set a budget early on for any work you want to do as this will be the biggest limiting factor as to what you can achieve.

With all that said, if you want a trendy home you will want to look forward to what will be trending in interior design in the near future. There are some exciting trends on the horizon for 2023 and you can incorporate them into your home improvements in a way that suits your needs.

Sustainable natural materials
There is a growing movement that is becoming more prevalent in interior design, and that is the push for natural, sustainable materials. It might be hard to think of sustainability as an interior design trend but it is well worth mentioning because sustainability is expected to become a large driving force behind the trends of the coming years. If you want to incorporate this trend into your interiors then look out for natural materials like wood, rattan, bamboo cane, cotton, linen and stone in natural colours.

Abstract stripes
Stripes can feel somewhat imposing when used in interior design but by opting for wavy rather than straight line motifs and designs you can make them feel more approachable and organic. You don’t need to splash wavy lines all over the walls to jump onto this trend, and in fact it works best when the lines are used as an accent rather than a main feature. Choose colours that stand out and create contrast such as a neutral and a strong colour, or pick colours that create a more harmonious for a more subtle take on the wavy lines trend.

Feature staircases
Often overlooked in our homes, perhaps it’s time you showed your staircase some love and hired an expert staircase designer to breathe new life into it. Maybe all it will take is putting down some new carpeting or freshly sanding and sealing wooden stairs, or perhaps you have bigger plans in mind and want to completely redesign this aspect of your home.

Perhaps the most dramatic way you can switch up your stairs is to move their physical location in the home, but this should only be done where it makes sense and where there is the budget for it. This is because this kind of remodelling can be extremely expensive and disruptive to your home life for a while, but it can definitely be worth it where it makes better use of your interior space.

Social seating
When you think of a lounge layout you may place the sofas in your mind facing the TV. In 2023 living room layouts are expected to take a more social focus with seats placed to facilitate conversation rather than placing the TV front and centre. In a post covid world we are all looking for ways to connect and spend quality time with our friends and family. Placing your seating in a way that makes it easier to see and hear the people you are sharing the space with, and helps you to connect with the people you care about in small, everyday ways.

So, after reading into some of the upcoming trends of 2023, are you feeling inspired to make some plans of your own and do a spot of home improvement? Whether you are looking for a big change or simply want to freshen up your interior spaces there are so many cool and unique trends incoming in 2023 that you are sure to find lots of inspiration to get your creative planning in gear.
