Top 6 Home Design Trends to Look out for in 2023

Over the past few years, our homes have become increasingly important as we spend more time in them. As a result, we appreciate the personalized touches that make our homes cozy and comfortable more than ever before. While we have adapted our living spaces in new ways, such as creating functional home offices and upgrading frequently used appliances, it is also important to consider the long-term impact that home renovations may have on its value.

Selecting highly personalized finishes and fixtures may make it more difficult for future homebuyers to envision themselves living in the space, which is why investing in popular design choices that are likely to stand the test of time is a wise decision. Even if you are not planning on selling your home anytime soon, it can make things easier in the future.

If you are in the market for a new home, it is a good idea to watch out for features that may require updates so that you can account for renovation expenses in your budget.

We have rounded up six trends that we predict will influence interior design in 2023, along with ideas for how you can incorporate them into your own home. Keep in mind that before taking action, it is always wise to consult a real estate professional to understand how specific updates and upgrades will impact your property's value in your local market.

1. Separate Kitchen, Dining and Living Areas

For many years, open-concept floor plans dominated home design, especially for kitchen, dining, and living areas. However, as the pandemic forced families to work and study from home, privacy and separation became essential needs. As a result, designers report that more families are opting to reintroduce walls between kitchen and dining rooms to break up the space and create quieter areas.1

But that doesn't mean that we are returning to an era of dark and cramped spaces. Even with walls, it is crucial to maintain a sense of flow and openness within the home, with natural light being a top priority.

If you are purchasing or building a new home, think about how you will use the space and whether an open floor plan will suit your needs. If you already have an open floor plan and it's not working for you, consider rearranging furniture and incorporating pieces like bookshelves, room dividers, or rugs to establish distinct areas within the home and reduce noise.
