If the last few years were about muted colour tones, pale woodgrain and minimalist interiors, the online consensus is that interior design in 2023 will see the return of maximalist statements and the long overdue infusion of retro furnishings.

Sustainable interior design is the movement of the minute and more eco-friendly materials, such as mushroom leather, will fit in with the kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms of the future.

Chris Stanley is a co-director of the award-winning Melbourne-based architecture and interior design studio Splinter Society alongside partner Asha Nicholas. Recently, the architect has seen a real shift towards sustainability in the sector.

Thankfully there seems to be a great push across all sectors of the industry towards carbon neutral. Recycled plastics, and in particular post-consumer recycled plastics, have begun emerging at an affordable price point with strong interest. There are some wild patterns and colours available for those who are brave.

Moving away from more muted tones and towards more vibrant shades, the home is set to become brighter while investing in more well-made furniture or repairing and reusing furnishings will bring more character into our interiors.

After years of beige-toned living spaces and flatpack furniture, interior decorators are starting to wise up and delve into an avant-garde mix of expensive, retro and unexpected.

Maximal intrigue

If minimalism is all about clean palettes and pared-back elements, you would be forgiven for thinking that maximal means big everything. Interiors of yesteryear have shown us the versatility of minimalist furniture and its ability to be repositioned without disrupting the sought-after clean ambience it imbues.

Maximalism is a bit trickier to pull off if you’re aiming for a particular look or feel but can provide your interiors with plenty of intrigue when done right. According to Chris Stanley, maximalism has been burbling away in the background for a while and 2023 will see this risky, but potentially very rewarding, design language continue to smoulder.

I don’t think it is necessarily new for this year as it has been emerging for many years now, but a more naturalistic approach (even with strong colour bases) is certainly an aesthetic or approach that keeps evolving and getting better and indeed more popular.

Chic antiques

Mid-century furnishings and home details will continue to gain prominence and interior designers are dreaming up different ways of incorporating vintage classics into today’s interiors.

Perhaps due to nostalgia or a longing for simpler times, retro furnishings and fittings are back in. Grandchildren are rummaging through garages and storage spaces and picking out their favourite pieces to pair with their modern interiors.

Recycling and reusing is, of course, a good idea and 2023 is set to be the year of rediscovering old styles, pairing them with newer decor and experimenting.

Experimentation and tactility

In addition to more characterful furnishings and a maximal approach to styling, interior design is welcoming in more tactile features.

Walls will have interesting surfaces that will tempt us to take a closer look, while a resurgence of brutalism will no doubt inform some texture-based decisions about how to fill our interior spaces. Think exposed brick, textural wall hangings and hanging plants.

Fungi leather

Sustainability is an evolving space; materials that have been sourced sustainably are in vogue, but designers are starting to take a magnifying glass to supply chain ethics and of course, FSC certification.

I think that sustainable materials are no longer obviously from a sustainable source. Manufacturing has transformed to be able to make fully recycled content products that look pretty much the same as virgin material products. Carpets are an example of this.

Mushroom leather has already made its debut in the world of high fashion and the sustainable material is set to debut in the interior design space and adorn the couches, chairs and ornaments of our interior spaces in 2023.

Maximalism is all about making a statement and there’s no better way for your living spaces to achieve this loud style of design than with these designer home decor pieces.
