In a chaotic, ever-changing world, your home should be your oasis. 

How do you create that peaceful haven? Choosing what features you want in a home can seem overwhelming. If you’re unsure what you’d like to include, we’ve compiled a list of some of the top home design trends this year to help get you started.

Earthy tones and natural materials

Many home design trends that rose to popularity during the pandemic have remained in style. Earthy tones and natural materials - think natural stone countertops and wood cabinets - are desirable features in new homes this year. Natural wood finishes like bamboo and cork will be popular for furniture in 2023.

Bold wallpapers

Go colorful, go vibrant. Statement wallpaper is in this year. This allows you to show your true style and personality in your room. Check out some of these unique wallpapers here. 

Separate spaces

Prior to the pandemic, open-concept living spaces remained popular. It was a way to make a smaller home appear more spacious and bring everyone together in one large area. However, during the pandemic, separate spaces became paramount for work or relaxation as more people began working from home and spending more of their time inside. That trend has continued into 2023, with separate spaces being an important feature in new homes. This gives families important privacy when working from home or looking for some quiet time away. 

Outdoor features

Outdoor spaces for entertaining or relaxing and enjoying nature will remain popular this year. Some great features to consider? A covered patio, perfect for all types of weather. An outdoor fireplace is also a popular piece to include in your home, helping provide a relaxing and cozy atmosphere for you and your family. Check out some unique outdoor design ideas here.

Double kitchen islands

It’s no surprise that double kitchen islands are in. An island is a multi-use design feature. It provides a great gathering space for entertaining guests in your home or a spot for working, relaxing, or cooking. With double islands, you can cook on one and have another dedicated eating and relaxing space. Don’t forget adding comfortable seating is key.

Open upper cabinets

Open-upper cabinets are a home design trend you should consider incorporating in your home this year. Open cabinets can help create a more spacious and lighter kitchen environment and the opportunity to show off some of your favorite dishes.
