“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
-Leonardo da Vinci
Here are 3 of the top interior design trends you can easily implement for 2023:
Minimalist designs with smooth lines and open floor plans have been popular for decades now, but they'll continue gaining traction in the upcoming years. This style allows for more natural light and the calming, Caribbean breezes to enter your home — which helps reduce stress levels — and promote a more communal atmosphere between your family members or guests.
Natural materials like wood floors, stone countertops, and bamboo cabinets are making a comeback in kitchens and bathrooms. These materials don't just look attractive; they also provide eco-friendly options for homeowners, such as recycled materials and sustainably-produced products that help reduce a carbon footprint without sacrificing style.
Bold colors and textures are another thing that you should consider doing and some might call this "trendy," but trust me it is here to stay a while! Customized spaces that reflect the unique tastes of their owners are difficult to balance, but with help from vintage fads and modern twists the spaces come together in a timeless way.
Implementing these trends can upgrade and enliven your home or villa in no time:
Minimalistic designs and open floor plans are simple to achieve when you start by downsizing furniture and content as well as the quantity of items in the space. This is as simple as cleaning clutter from spaces like tables and switching out chunky and bulky furniture for smooth, skinny, or transparent materials. Tips would include luxury monochromatic colors with some gold accents as an ongoing trend with emphasis in bathrooms and kitchen spaces. Another grandiose upgrade from Renaissance architecture returning to interior design are archways. Applied to any aspect including architecture, furniture design, and decorative elements. Arches draw the eye up and give spaces a more open, lavish, open feel.
The nature chapter trend will link wellness, living organically but staying up to date, and comfortable. Fabrics like wool and cotton will continue their reign – but throwing in a touch of velvet would be my biggest tip for 2023. Adding a vintage feel with some flair creates a key element for extravagance. You should also consider decorating with plants. Plants are great for bringing dashes of life and nature into any room, especially when they are potted in beautiful pots or vases guided toward your styled room. The more plants the merrier because, hey, they also help purify the air in your home or villa, which is always a plus!
Bold colors luxury homes are all about this upcoming season are pinks and purples. If you want to make your home feel like a palace, then these colors will do you the trick making your space feel inviting and fascinating. You can even use sprinkles of unique textures throughout your house in any room. But beware, pops of color in your home or villa can add some pizzazz to an otherwise boring room, but it's important that you don't go overboard where it becomes tacky instead of classy.
The most applied trend would, of course, be daring accent walls and although wallpapers are too difficult to make stick in the tropics, you can always use new textures on a wall as well for an appealing new take on the trend. These walls add enough unique character and personality, while enticing you in with ease, but still offering that pop of excitement your attention shoots to when you first walk into a room. However, in the Caribbean, a cute touch of style with added practicality would be framing pieces of wallpaper and hanging them considering wallpaper is a difficult material to work with in the humidity of the Virgin Islands.
My favorite trend has been catching wind in the fashion industry these past couple years and is finally making a debut again in the interior design world. The iconic revival of 70’s vintage mushroom décor can be executed with a simple gold lamp, or an intricate accent wall. As it gains popularity, many people are jumping on the fashionable fungi train. So, whether your style leans you toward moody monochromatic tones and marvelous marble countertops, or funky fabrics and fungi inspired foyers, small upgrades around your home or villa can indeed make you the most trendy and updated around.
