As 2023 looms, new home decor trends are starting to emerge – and while it’s exciting to see what we can expect, our focus will shift to taking care of ourselves in the coming year. It turns out that home improvement can be part of self-care, especially if you do it on purpose.
From neutral color schemes to plants, there are plenty of trends. However, there are also many new concepts coming into interior design, so where do you start?
Our zodiac signs not only provide insight into who we are, but also how to design and design our homes to best meet our needs. Check out your zodiac sign below to see which 2023 home trends are right for you.
Aries: A Bold Accent Wall
As ambitious as an Aries is, it’s no surprise that you’re drawn to eye-catching trends. 2023 includes eye-catching walls featuring old colors, prints, and embellishments that are more than Instagram-worthy, especially considering the amount of time many people continue to spend at home. You’re always expressing in ways that aren’t always subtle, and there’s a lot to play with when it comes to planning the perfect accent wall.
Taurus: Lavender Hues
Lavender is back in color schemes for the coming year, and no one better than a Taurus is ready to embrace it. Taurus is associated with stability and being grounded (as an earth sign), but is also very concerned with all things beautiful, elegant and luxurious (as it is the sign associated with Venus, the planet of beauty, creativity and romance. Being ruled). Lavender lingers on the sides of the fountain—a light purple known for instilling a sense of calm and relaxation, while adding an elegant, upscale feel to any space.
Gemini: Multi-Functional Spaces
The multipurpose space will continue until 2023 and will only become more conscious in terms of decor and design. This is good news for the ever-changing Gemini—transforming a space into one that encourages multiple concepts is right up your alley. Rather than isolating specific activities in specific spaces, multifunctional spaces offer a lot of flexibility, especially in smaller spaces that require customizable room layouts.
Cancer: Spaces Promoting Wellness
While the two aren’t inextricably linked, home decor and wellness have the opportunity to work hand-in-hand—especially when it comes to space management where we can get away with it all. The trends of 2023 point to spaces destined to nourish us — which feels a lot like a sign of cancer, doesn’t it? Whether using soothing tones, creating relaxing nooks and accessories, or simply creating a sense of intimacy, the goal is to create an atmosphere in which you are completely at ease.
Leo: Arches
Leos, in all their majesty and grace, know how to take something simple and elevate it with ease. Another trend coming back into 2023: arches. Sure, an archway or window is a stunning piece of architecture that can change the feel of a room, but you don’t have to do a complete home remodel to incorporate decorating style. Circles are sure to pop up in mirrors, ornaments, murals and even tile options—so you have plenty of options to express your best self, Leo.
Virgo: Earth Tone Hues
If the Sherwin-Williams Color of the Year 2023 is any indication, we’re sure to see plenty of earth tones trending across the home decor scene. Of course, this is ideal for the Virgo who likes to embrace a clean, simple palette that can fit any space and almost any style. The essence of the base tone resonates perfectly with the earth sign, so don’t be afraid to embrace this palette.
Libra: curved furniture and decorations
Like arches, circular furniture and decorations are entering the 2023 home decor trends. The rounded corners of the furniture and decor add a touch of softness, creating a warm ambiance that complements Libra. Libras are known for creating beautiful and soothing environments that feel at home without losing style or flair. The circular style simply offers another option to complement the scene, ranging from more dramatic options like sofas and tables to more subtle inclusions like rugs and picture frames.
Scorpio: Plant Life
Contrary to popular belief, Scorpio signs aren’t all dark color schemes and dimly lit rooms. Many people are unaware of Scorpio’s association with transformation, and any plant lover knows how quickly (and easily) plants can transform a space. As 2023 draws closer, we’ll see more plants and decorating ideas incorporated into them—many can thrive in dark spaces with low light, so there’s no need to redesign everything right away, Scorpio.
Sagittarius: Home Retreats
Decorating our homes has become more important than ever, especially considering that many of us have to stay at home instead of traveling as we please. By 2023, we’ll see an increase in the number of people retreating at home—incorporating styles and accents of worldly and escapist concepts without leaving home. While traveling to new places is Sagittarius’ favorite, the coming year will urge you to transform your home into a place you’ve fallen in love with – a sanctuary you can actually step into when you’re not on a plane.
Capricorn: Personalized Workspaces
We all know home offices have gotten a lot of attention in recent years, especially from those who work from home. Capricorns are not afraid of having their own space to get work done and know the importance of creating an environment that allows them to stay focused. The trend in 2023 points to creating personalized workspaces that can even be hidden away at the end of the day. Working from home can often blur the line between work and relaxation, so using items that can turn the office into another space or simply hide away can actually be of great benefit to hardworking Capricorns who never know the day when does it finally come out.
Aquarius: Organic Materials and Accents
Next year will also continue to encourage more sustainable and eco-friendly decorating options, which is great news for the environment, but also great news for Aquarians who want to decorate their spaces without leaving too much of a footprint. Trends point to natural fabrics—like cotton, wool, etc.—and furniture that may not work perfectly together, but still work well together.
Pisces: 70s Retro
Taking a trip down memory lane, 2023 brings some popular concepts from the ’70s back into the current home decor scene. Pastel tones and vintage furniture have definitely found a place in the home lately, and for nostalgic Pisces, it’s a match made in heaven. One thing to keep in mind: Mushrooms are especially eye-catching, and from mushroom-shaped lights and decor to mushroom prints, ’70s vibes will be sweeping home decor choices this year.
