With spring right around the corner, I’m always reminded of how so many things start fresh and new. While I may not be making many big changes in my home right now, I know some of you will be! Interior design is one of my absolute favorite ways to express myself and show my creativity. I feel as though my personality really shines throughout my home, so I thought it would be fun to share 5 interior design trends of 2023 that I’m loving. Many of these are already in my home, so you can have a great visual for what they look.
If you aren’t planning on making any big design changes in your home, but you are still wanting a fresh look, check out my spring home refresh ideas blogpost HERE.
Natural or Wood Grain Cabinetry
Ever since Joanna and Chip Gaines came onto the interior design scene, the natural or farmhouse look has been very popular. With that comes the natural or wood grain cabinetry that has seen a huge reemergence. They are ideal in all areas of the house because they are timeless, clean, and easy to mix with other design styles. The lighter shades of wood are most popular right now, like the white oak we have in our primary bathroom. We used a custom stain, but it still leaves the integrity of the natural wood.
Leaving the cabinetry in its more natural state allows room for exploring different design styles. For example, you can easily mix different metals for hardware or textiles for counter tops. Having wood grain cabinetry in a home allows for adding color in other ways, without taking away from their simplicity. This style of cabinetry can find its place in any style of home, whether its modern, eclectic, or traditional.
Nature Inspired Wallpaper

Wallpaper is making a huge comeback this year, and I caved to this trend as well. Nature inspired wallpaper specifically is really popular. There are many designs to choose from, like floral and botanical to birds and other animals. I chose this beautiful earthy wallpaper for our water closet in the master bathroom. It makes a big impact in a small space, but you can use it in a variety of spaces in a home.
Fresh and vibrant natured inspired wallpaper can really bring a new perspective to a room. It really freshens up a space and makes it feel new again. Some of these wallpapers can even add texture and dimension to a room because they are made with natural fibers. I linked a variety of options to fit any style!
Accent Walls
A really easy way to add a quick but noticeable change to a home is to add an accent wall. It really helps to define a space, and can be done with just a quick paint change. If you are up for a challenge, wallpaper works well too! In my home, I chose to add an accent wall to the home office. I love warm and bold tones, so I chose a dark green color. I love how it adds a pop of color and dimension to the room.
There are many different ways to display an accent wall in your home. You can make it a statement wall by choosing a bright color or a patterned wallpaper. Another popular design option is creating a geometric pattern using wood paneling. An accent wall could also be used as a backdrop in a room. For example, in a bedroom you can add a backdrop that will complement your furniture to create a cohesive look. The possibilities are endless!
Oversized Pendant Lights

Oversized pendant lights are a huge trend right now, and I fully believe the hype. They look great above a kitchen table or an island. We have them in our kitchen above the island, and I love the way they bring the room together. They make a dramatic statement, but they are also practical because they supply a ton of light for when we’re cooking or preparing food.
The great thing about this trend is that it can be done in any price range. If you are on a tighter budget, there are plenty of options that still look high end. If you have more money to allocate towards pendant lights, there are many beautiful more expensive options as well. I’ve linked several in all price ranges, so I know there is something for everyone!
Curves & Arches
The last trend is curves and arches! Curves and arches are becoming increasingly popular in furniture and even in the architecture of homes. Adding an arch or a curve in the design of a home elevates the space, giving it a unique look. It also creates a focal point and defines the space with a beautiful contrast to so many linear elements that are usually in homes.
I’m loving the look of the curved furniture trend this year as well. With rounded corners and arched shapes, these pieces add a soft feature to a room, while also making a statement. For example, a curved sofa is designed with edges that are curved and draw the eye in and gives a relaxing and laidback feel. Unlike some of the other geometric shapes that have a rigid feel, the curves offer a welcoming look.
