Interiors will feature bolder colours in 2023

Architecture and interior design magazine Dezeen asked twelve leading interior architects and designers for their forecasts for the design trends that will be popular in 2023. They said that interiors will feature bold and bright colours.

British interior designers Russell Whitehead and Jordan Cluroe from 2LG Studio say that we are living in violent times and designs should reflect the dynamism of this period:

"When the world gets too weird to comprehend, the designs of the moment reflect that. Let's all get weird and express our wonderfulness."

Sanchit Arora, a New Delhi-based designer, sees a trend towards maximalism that started in 2022 and will continue to influence design trends in 2023. Maximalism is about bold designs with patterns and bright colours. Objects in a room stand out rather than blending in with other features of the space.

Architect Raúl Sánchez of Barcelona says:

"I think I am seeing, after a few years of mostly conservative approach to colour, a more fresh and daring use of colour.”

Interior designer Pallavi Dean says that there is a reaction against neutral colours and the embracing of rainbow shades. British designer Kelly Hoppen does not forecast the end of neutral colours but sees them complemented by bold prints.

Carpets in Chester and North Wales rooms will still be a popular choice of floor covering in 2023, but most consumers prefer neutral or subdued colours. If the predictions of the design experts are correct, more residents in the region will go for bolder coloured carpets.
