According to Shay Holland, an interior designer and the star of HGTV's Unfinished Business, trends shouldn't have a significant impact on the aesthetic of your house. “Trends are a great way to glean inspiration and information; not to dictate your home’s design.”
Holland explains that “Trend forecasting is largely geared to motivate people to buy more stuff and I’m very sensitive to the fact that many families are facing tough times in this challenging economy,” thus she adds “I encourage people to play with trends if they want to, but resist feeling like they have to go out and buy a million things to stay in style.”
It's better to start with a space that won't already seem outdated when it's finished, whether you're renovating your present home or just updating a room. The following three interior design trends will be gone by 2023. Keep reading to know those interior design trends that will be outdated from us!
Maximalism is out; more isn't always better
Maximalism has outlived its usefulness, and people are now beginning to understand that less is often better. Since there are fewer items in a room, there is less upkeep required. Holland explains “Most people want to simplify life—not in a severe minimalistic approach but in ways that bring ease to the simple, daily rituals—like being able to sit on the sofa without first having to remove half a dozen throw pillows.”
Officially, Open Concept Living has closed
The open concept has been extremely popular for years, but people now desire more privacy. Audrey Scheck advises “The pandemic really changed how people utilize their homes, and there is now a strong desire for more privacy and quiet time. While open plan living provides ample space, the communal space is often being shared by multiple family members for different reasons simultaneously. Next year, we expect to see even more intentional spaces mapped out for specific needs in each home.”
All things Rattan
Rattan has experienced a significant comeback in recent years, appearing in all things from beds to chairs to sofas. But it's possible that this material's appeal has peaked. An interior designer of Eye For Pretty, Nicole Salceda said that rattan has spread far too much.
