Top Design Trends to Look Forward to in 2023

January 10, 2023


As we welcome the new year, it’s typical to see our desire to make a change for the better grow stronger—especially in the sacred spaces where we spend most of our time. At Weston Dean Custom Homes, we place a strong emphasis on staying on top of the latest trends in home design to keep up with the wants and needs of our homeowners, and we’re always trying to look ahead to guarantee our Texas Hill Country homes remain timeless while meeting modern expectations. Although it's hard to predict exactly what the future will bring, there are a few key trends that can easily spruce up your space in the coming year—so read below to find a few home design trends that we think will be especially popular in 2023.

Versatile spaces

As people have spent more time at home over the past couple of years, the need for flexible, multi-use spaces has grown exponentially—and this growth is projected to rise even more in 2023. This might include the creation of home offices, studios, or even gyms within the home—which is exactly what our versatile, customizable floor plans at Weston Dean Custom Homes are designed to do. From libraries and study rooms to recreational areas and additional add-ons—these spaces are able to adapt and change as people's needs evolve to make it easy for our homeowners to have design elements that can be easily rearranged or repurposed, which will be especially prevalent in 2023. 

Eco-conscious elements

With concerns about climate change and the environment at the top of many people's minds in recent times, more and more homeowners are looking for ways to make their homes more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. This might involve buying a home with green building features, incorporating natural materials like bamboo or cork into the design, or choosing furniture and accessories made from recycled materials. Buying used, vintage or antique furniture is a great way to add more personality and character to your home—and doing so can also help save the environment. 

Biophilic design

Biophilic design is all about bringing the outdoors inside through the use of natural materials, plants, outdoor lighting and other elements that connect us to nature. This trend is driven by the belief that being surrounded by natural elements can have a positive impact on our mental and physical well-being. Whether you start with one plant or ten, bringing parts of the outdoors into your home can help improve health and productivity while creating a chic, elegant look in your home. Look for biophilic design elements like living walls, indoor plants, and natural wood finishes to be incorporated into interiors in 2023—especially in layouts like those of Weston Dean Custom Homes that let in an abundance of natural lighting and focus on combining indoor and outdoor lifestyles for homeowners

Retro interiors

Retro design elements, such as bold patterns and bright colors, are likely to be popular in 2023 as people look for ways to add personality and warmth to their homes. This trend is driven by a desire to create spaces that feel comfortable and welcoming while reflecting the unique personalities of the people who live there. Additionally, retro interiors pair incredibly well with sustainability, as many retro pieces can be found at vintage resale markets and consignment stores. Whether you add a vibrant accent wall or incorporate pieces of furniture from the 70s and 80s—retro designs in 2023 will make for a great way to decorate your home in a unique, timeless way while staying on trend. 

Explore these trends in a brand-new home

Whether you're looking to create a more earth-friendly home, carve out a dedicated workspace, or simply add some personality to your interior, there are plenty of options to choose from with these design trends in 2023—and why not enjoy them in a brand-new, carefully-crafted home?
