Trends going out in 2023 [Music]
Trends come and go that's just the way it is not everyone will love the new trends not everyone
will agree with the new ways to decorate your home even professional interior designers like
me will have opinions about what's trending but what I love design never stays the same design is
always changing even ideas that are classic can evolve in small ways to make them more
current if you want to see the new trends that I'm seeing in the industry for 2023 make sure to
check out this video there are some exciting new Styles and ideas that you'll find in all
the home stores and design blogs out there or if you're old like me design magazines Does anybody
read those anymore but this video is all about what's on its way out and some of these things
might be controversial in fact there are a couple that I'm not so sure I agree with but several of
these ideas are on their way out because they've been over saturated in the industry for a while
and they're just not what we're wanting at this time design is always about change that that means
design needs to change because we all evolve and want different things remember interior design
is about Place making it's not about the finishes on the walls the latest paint color or the style
of the furniture it's really about making spaces that fit each of our needs and wants so of course
that's going to change over time in this video I'm going to give you some ways on how to evolve some
of these old Trends so that you can still enjoy them today but you can start to transition away
from that look and adapt it towards the newer Trend let's face it the fun part of design is
adapting new ideas to your own style and home it is for me and I'm lucky enough to do this
for a living so don't throw anything out based on this video don't complain that us designers
are always forcing you into making unreasonable and expensive changes to your home it's all about
transition and evolution over time here are the trends that are on their way out in 2023
all white kitchens are on their way out I know they've been around for years and there are so
many all-white kitchens out there some of them are actually really quite beautiful the all-white
kitchen was a response to the all wood kitchens we saw in the 80s where kitchens had lots of moldings
and were quite dark the all-white kitchen was all about clean lines smooth and minimal texture and
a very strict modern look white walls white trim white cabinets white counters white backsplash
everything white which isn't easy to do there are so many white colors to choose from and in fact
these images are showing you exceptional white kitchens they look pristine but these days we're
wanting something less pristine we're wanting a warmer look for our kitchens we don't want it to
be sterile and Stark we're wanting kitchens to truly reflect our lifestyle and the fact that
kitchens are the heart of the home so the style and design of the kitchen is much more open to
color and texture and personality and it really does set the design tone for the rest of the house
so yes kitchens will have more color and a variety of materials and textures which is
not what the all-white kitchen is about if you do have an all-white kitchen then the
easiest thing to change would be the wall colors it's easy to add a warmer tone to
your walls by just painting the walls a Warm Neutral paint color like white down
from Benjamin Moore or natural linen from Sherwin-Williams you could also introduce
wood elements into your kitchen like wooden stools at your island or wooden accessories
wood is making a huge comeback it has been for a few years but
it's usually mixed with other painted finishes
and instead of changing all of your Cabinetry right away you could just
update your backsplash to warm things up or have your existing Cabinetry sprayed a new paint color
some white elements in the kitchen will always look great like a white countertop or white
backsplash tiles so it's easy to extend the life of your all-white kitchen as the trends change
cane furniture last year in my new trends video for 2022 I'll link it below as well caning was a
huge Trend it was everywhere caning was showing up on all sorts of furniture pieces and designs
and in all different kinds of applications it was on cabinet doors it was on seating lighting
got the cane to treatment and even plant pots were treated with this textural detail so I can see how
a trend that just goes too far and is everywhere can get tires in really quickly and that's sort
of what's happened with caning so when you hear a designer like me say that cane furniture is out I
don't want you to throw away your cane to pieces and I will never say that cane furniture is out
you won't hear me say that just to be clear I love caned Furniture I especially love a beautifully
caned chair for instance this piece is classic you might have to update the fabric every 10 years but
honestly there is nothing wrong with this caned piece of furniture the trick is that caning is a
special feature and you need to limit it to one or two key pieces of furniture in your room so that
it really stands out like the special feature that it is when you have a room full of caned pieces of
furniture and accessories which is what that Trend was all about last year then it loses its special
qualities that's the trend that's on its way out having caned pieces everywhere has become one of
those Trends that's looking a little tired and overdone I love these dining room chairs they're
light in appearance and they add so much texture to the room but if you also have a sideboard with
caning details like this one then it just feels like too much of the same texture so if you have
one special cabinet with cane inserts in the doors like this one it's beautiful and I love
the contrast between the light colored caning and the dark stain keep that as a very special piece
in the room that's totally fine but if you have multiple pieces in the same room the best thing
to do is move them into separate rooms that's why I think a caned chair is such a great investment
it will always look special in a room and can be moved from one room to another very easily like
this bench it's stunning because it's the only caned piece in the room it's a special feature
I have a video about must-have pieces of furniture and a bench
with no back is one of those pieces I love that this one is caned this
will live in your home for years to come it will never go out of style
so again when Trends fall out of favor it doesn't mean you have to get rid of
that Trend altogether it may just mean that you can use that Trend in a different way
caning is a classic detail on furniture so if you've got a piece that you love enjoy it
and hold it in a special place in your home just maybe get rid of the canned flower pot
oh and just a side note just as caning was a big deal last year this year the new detail that
you're going to see everywhere is reeded Furniture so beware don't buy multiple pieces of furniture
with reading for one room read the details are beautiful so keep them Special by limiting the
number of items in your room with that particular detail number three on my list minimalism is such
a big Topic in today's world and there is so much value to the concept when you think about
the benefits of less is more and all the positive environmental impacts when we truly buy and use
only what we truly need but in interior design this extreme minimalist look is on its way out
by minimalist I mean Ultra sparse spaces with very little detail and decoration this look is heavily
curated and usually quite modern it came from the trends of Japan D and Scandinavian ideals and it
was all about minimal texture minimal color and minimal detail so while the idea behind
it is great I love less is more it's perhaps not a style that will suit most people many of us like
our things we like our stuff and we want to be surrounded with our things because they bring us
joy or a sense of comfort so this cold impersonal look is giving way to a more personalized look we
want more character and charm this is especially true in kitchens even a modern streamlined
kitchen will have warmer finishes less pristine materials and more character and personality
living rooms will have special pieces of furniture like these
cane chairs see what I did there mixing styles of furniture is key
mixing artwork and Architectural detail is something you'll see moving forward
so this one minimalistic look all throughout your home is on its way out there's no reason
you can't have some of that furniture in your home but it will most likely be mixed with other
styles that have more decorative details and more pattern and more color we're moving away
from strict minimalism to a more nurturing space hey do you need personalized interior

Channel and finally color palettes are definitely changing gray color palettes specifically are on
their way out and not that we don't want gray gray can be beautiful think of gray Cashmere
but it's the cool gray palettes that just feel a bit too cold and impersonal they're feeling
a little bit Bland these days they're looking a little flat and unimaginative
this is especially true in bathrooms gray has been a standard for years
but this new warmer palette is taking over this space a
space with so many hard surfaces we're wanting it to feel softer and warmer
a warmer color palette has been on the rise for a few years but it's really changing now we want
our spaces to reflect our personalities a lot more than wanting it to reflect a
particular style or a brand name store for instance many of us want more color in our
homes we want rooms with warm creams and beige and warm colors like orange and brown
because gray tends to be neutral it's easy to move towards a warmer neutral palette because when I
say we want more color I mean subtle muted colors which are actually quite easy to incorporate into
your gray rooms just adding a warmer accent wall or a few warmer pieces into your gray
interior will set you on the path towards warming up the interior design of your rooms
adding and layering texture and natural materials will also add warmth to the room
and even in your great kitchen adding warm Woods basket weaves and Greenery will warm
things up easily in the short term so here's your takeaway sometimes when we say something
is no longer trendy it does not mean you have to eliminate it from your homes sometimes it just
means the way you use that Trend may be slightly different or maybe you need less of it or maybe
you just don't pay attention to me at all from all white kitchens cane furniture minimalist spaces
and gray pallets we can all agree there's still value in any of these choices but how we adapt
these ideas in a different way of thinking is the fun part of design design is always changing and
it takes time for that change to happen you can adapt and evolve with the trends quite easily
by just buying what you love and curating your home to reflect you and your personality trust
me that never goes out of style it's always fun to look back on past Year's Trends I've got several
videos highlighting Trends in interior design so be sure to check back in with those videos I'll
