4 design trends tipped to dominate 2023

The start of a New Year signifies a new chapter – whether it be a new beginning, new goals or a new style. In the design world, it’s no different. And as 2023 kicks off, new trends and seasonal styles are emerging once more. From mixed materials to spa-luxury and taking control over your colours, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re renovating or updating.  

Here’s the kitchen design trends we’re excited about this year. 

All or nothing colours  

It’s been a shaky few years and after spending so much time in our homes, it’s no surprise people are opting for calming tones – or ripping up the rulebook and adding bold pops of colour to their space.  

Trusted paint giant Dulux released its colour forecast for 2023, predicting colours that “balance, connect and revive” would be top of the list for renovators and redecorators alike. From elegant and moody blues that calm to nature-like browns and greens that connect (or disconnect) to our surroundings, a sense of Zen remains an important consideration for many.  

But there’s also a rising emergence of bright, fun and creative colours, too. From bold prints to electric or pastel walls, colour in the home is tipped to return as a way for people to express themselves and take control over their space. Dulux described this as a “clash or modern and revived styles from to ‘50s,’ 60s, ‘70s and ‘80s”. 

Mixed materials  

In 2023, don’t be afraid to mix materials, textures and types. Whether it’ your benchtop, your splashback or lighting choices, have fun mixing and matching elements throughout your home – and throughout different spaces.  

This might mean combining elements of wood with metal or concrete, using stone or tiles or upcycling or recycling old materials. Things like using tapware with different finishes or colours and pairing different styles together are also gaining traction. Essentially, there’s no rules! It’s about making a unique space that suits your style, wants and needs.  

Feature elements 

Kitchen features will remain an ‘in’ thing, too. From over-sized farmhouse sinks to shaker-style cabinets and hardwood floors (all a nod to the past), open-plan shelves and bright cabinets – expression and personality in the kitchen are forecast to be popular kitchen design trends in 2023.  

That also extends to décor with interior design trends like unusually shaped vases, fun lights, paintings and appliances are all making a statement in the New Year. NEFF’s range of graphite grey ovens are the perfect stand-out appliances, adding contrast to a coloured wall and impressing with features like Slide&Hide®. 

Spa-style relaxation  

Self-care has become one of the important life lessons of the last few years, and it’s sticking around. Which is why this season, adding a sense of luxury, spa-like relaxation to your home is a must.  

Think calm colours and textures, plants and greenery and natural light, decluttered spaces and indulgent elements, like candles or comfy chairs. Whether it’s in the bathroom, the kitchen, or the living area, making your space as tranquil as possible is something to aspire to.
