Fun novelty interior design is a 2023 trend

A design style in 2023 does not take the home seriously by focusing on fun and novelty.

More people are working from home these days. Therefore, they want the room they work in to lift their mood through bright design.

Fun décor that features bright colours and some oversized pieces is the opposite of the minimal design style popular over the last few years. Fun décor replaces the cool neutral colours of minimal design, with vivid hues and bold patterns.

The fun trend is being influenced by social media with some videos featuring fun décor being watched over a million times. A TikTok video depicting a room with an oversized pencil by influencer called Daniklaric has been seen over eight million times.

To bring the fun style to your home, start with the floor by installing bright coloured carpets. In the Chester and North Wales region, carpet retailers stock bright hued carpets such as those manufactured by Penthouse Carpets. If you don’t want to replace an existing carpet, add one or two brightly coloured rugs instead.

Next, add wall art that features an abundance of colours and patterns. Designer Sophie Collé recommends taking inspiration from surrealist artists like Magritte by adding oversized objects that make no sense in a room. She says:

“There’s something to be said about childhood, how things are larger when you are physically smaller, so keeping that larger-scale ratio when you’re an adult puts you back into that playing-pretend relationship.”

Bear these tips in mind when making important interior design changes in your home.
