Spring into a New Wave of Trends

Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes a new wave of interior design trends. Whether you’re looking to freshen up your living space or completely overhaul your home’s decor, the following design choices are sure to give your space a fresh, new look.

Biophilic Design: In 2023, the focus on Biophilic Design will only increase. This design philosophy emphasizes the use of natural materials and elements in the home, bringing the outdoors inside. Biophilic design can include features like large windows, indoor plants, and natural materials like stone and wood.
Earthy Tones: Earthy tones like greens, browns, and beiges will be very popular in 2023. These colors evoke feelings of calmness and relaxation and can be incorporated into the home in a variety of ways, from paint colors to furniture upholstery.
Soft Curves: After several years of straight, geometric lines dominating the design world, soft curves and organic shapes will be making a comeback in 2023. Think curved sofas, rounded chairs, and oval-shaped tables. These pieces can add a sense of playfulness and whimsy to a space.
Sustainable Materials: Sustainability is a growing concern for many people, and the interior design world is taking notice. In 2023, sustainable materials like bamboo, cork, and recycled plastic will be used more frequently in home decor. Not only are these materials environmentally friendly, but they can also add unique textures and patterns to a space.
Statement Ceilings: While accent walls have been popular for a while, 2023 will see the rise of the statement ceiling. From bold paint colors to intricate wallpaper designs, homeowners will be looking up to add interest to their spaces.
Bold Patterns: While solid colors will always have a place in home decor, 2023 will be the year of bold patterns. From animal prints to geometric shapes, eye-catching patterns will be used on everything from wallpaper to area rugs.
Maximalism: For those who love a bold, eclectic look, maximalism will be the design choice of 2023. This style emphasizes layering and mixing patterns and textures to create a space that is full of personality and character.

These are just a few of the interior design choices that will be popular for Spring 2023. Whether you’re looking to completely revamp your living space or just add a few new pieces, these trends are sure to give your home a fresh, updated look.

Drapes vs. Curtains

Arguably, no other design element sparks as much debate as window coverings. Particularly drapes versus curtains. The common ground with either choice is they offer a unique impact on your overall design.

Both curtains and drapes can speak directly to your traditional or modern design tastes. Manufacturers have done a great job in updating these age-old elements to represent ever-changing interior designs. Drapes and curtains provide artful decorative appeal while providing unmatched function in your home.

Properly hung, they can reshape a room adding height, balance, and airiness, and conversely, they can make a large space feel more intimate. Heavier fabrics offer insulation almost twice that of window blinds while improving acoustics and buffering noises.

Window hangings offer privacy and natural light control. If you are looking for versatility curtains and drapes are affordable, fashion-forward, easy to care for and maintain. They give you the opportunity to make bold statements or provide clean simple lines to any room.

Curtains and drapes can easily help you polish your décor. Both options can frame the perfect view or avert the eye from a less than the pristine outdoor scene. They are also a good choice to change out when you want to freshen up a room without doing an entire makeover.

The Benefits of Planning Ahead

Recently, one of our adored previous clients ordered a new sofa. She found exactly the one she wanted at a well-respected furniture store. She chose each piece of her sectional sofa to perfectly fit her space and taste. She was even able to take advantage of their Presidents Day sale. At the point of sale, she happily made her purchase…

Only to find out her sofa will arrive in July! She was crushed. On the bright side, she will be sitting pretty at the end of the Summer. We share this with you as a cautionary tale. The days of picking up customized furniture same day are now rare. For fully customized furniture the wait (while worth it) will be longer than expected.

That’s why the team at Design On A Dime encourages you to plan ahead. Planning ahead has so many benefits: budgeting is easier, stress is reduced, and more thoughtful choices can be made. If you are considering redecorating for the holidays, now is the best time to plan, we can help! You can take advantage of summer sales while giving yourself and our design team plenty of time to bring your vision to life. Also, our decades of experience work in your favor.

We know how to artfully fete the waters of supply-chain irregularities with unique solutions… Slipcovers, reupholstery, and supple fabric paints are all exciting options.

We see a furniture update in your future. Let’s start now!
