The main trends in interior design in the previous and this year can be characterized as follows. Designers highlight the main trends in modern design.

The trend is green and brown shades, as well as yellow and blue solutions. Among the materials, stone, wood and even straw are popular.
- Technological solutions. Modern people use more and more smart devices in the process of organizing ventilation, air ionization, space ergonomics, lighting. Large household appliances are being replaced by small electronics.
- Minimalism. Now it is not fashionable to clutter up the space with unnecessary furniture and decorations. On the contrary, it is customary to make room for a feeling of freedom and flight. Therefore, massive wardrobes were replaced by dressers, and huge upholstered furniture – simple sofas and chairs with upholstery throughout the area, light armchairs.
- Comfort is more important than beauty. First of all, this applies to furniture. No matter how expensive and rich it looks, it is important how practical and comfortable it is in everyday use.
- Diversity. Instead of buying a headset, you should consider purchasing pieces of furniture separately, while they should be small and perfectly combine with each other.
The Impact of the Pandemic on Interior Design in 2023

Key Trends and Trends 2023
Basic design decisions have changed in the wake of the epidemic that began in 2020. The psychological moment deserves special attention. The fact is that with the onset of the pandemic, many people were forced to be at home 24 hours a day, and a beautiful interior became of particular importance to them. After all, it is known that only certain colors and objects in a room have a beneficial effect on the psyche.
As for the second point, it is practical. In this regard, the following trends have emerged:
- light background, visually expands the space and gives a feeling of warmth and freedom;
- access to fresh air by organically decorating a balcony or loggia, and in their absence – a window sill;
- rounded shape of surfaces, pieces of furniture, decorations;
- unique and inimitable solutions with their own stories;
- organization of a workplace for comfortable and productive remote work.
Before starting a repair on your own or with the help of a designer, you need to pay attention to these points.

What Styles are Trending in 2023?
Interior design today is a rather controversial moment. It all depends on the personal preferences of the residents. Someone likes calm solutions, others, on the contrary, are chasing non-standard options for space design. The main thing is that every family member, being in the room, feels comfortable, his work process is productive, and his rest brings comfort.
Here is a list of the most popular styles of 2023:
- maximalism with an abundance of furniture and decorations, and in different shades, but this solution is not suitable for everyone, only for owners of spacious apartments and houses;
- minimalism with the reduction of useless parts and thinking over ergonomics;
- Scandinavian style with a minimum of furniture and light solutions;
- eco-direction with natural materials;
- Asian (Chinese or Japanese) style;
- Gothic with clear lines and the ability to create a business environment;
- baroque for connoisseurs of luxury.

Trending Interior Colours 2023
The most trending shades can be divided into 3 groups. First of all, these are light colors – white, beige, cream, etc. Neutral solutions that have a calming effect on the nervous system are in demand – all representatives of the pastel palette. And also the colors of nature – the tones of the blue sky, yellow sun, green grass and so on.
This is especially true for the floor and walls, which act as the main background of the living space and set a specific direction.
