We delve into five remarkable trends that are impacting the way we curate and experience our surroundings.
Wellness is a key driver for the majority of design trends we’ve seen in 2023 so far. From layered lighting to innovative use of materials, there is a noticeable shift towards more thoughtful and intentional design choices. We care now, more than ever, about how a space directly impacts our mood and wellbeing and more of us are finding ways to curate a space that boosts positivity and reflects our personality. Here are 5 trends we are loving right now:
The jewellery that completes a room. Unique hardware has increased in popularity as we've discovered its profound impact to make a space feel as if we've given it a whole makeover. The diversity of unique designs popping up offer an abundance of ways to embellish and elevate your surroundings. Why not add interest with the Kolkhoze's Ornaments. Be playful with Doing Goods, Brass Goods or integrate some elegant structure through clean lines with the Plank Hardware’s Kepler collection. For an even stronger contemporary look, opt for silver, satin nickel or bronze finishes. With the power of metals transformative capabilities, incorporating these hardware elements into your space has the power to revitalise in countless ways without breaking the bank.
Having one main light source in any room can kill the ambiance. With more of us seeking a relaxed and calming atmosphere in their space, layered lighting has emerged as the number one way to achieve this feeling. It also gives you the opportunity to mix up or elevate your current room's aesthetic all the while injecting a serene ambience. From table lamps and wall lights to pendants and statement pieces there are no limits to this look. Mix and matching can help you achieve an eclectic feel while adding more of the same will help amplify your aesthetic.
We’re witnessing minimalism take on a new dimension, where soft curves and structured angles are elevated into sculptural forms. Embracing this approach through furniture pieces not only adds a commanding presence to any room but also elevates the overall aesthetic of your space. What's exciting about this trend is its versatility across multiple mediums, offering endless possibilities for exploration. Whether it's incorporating sculptural elements in furniture, or exploring it on a smaller scale through art and decor, the potential for creativity knows no bounds. What's even better about this trend is that it can be interpreted to suit your personal aesthetic. Prefer a pop of colour? You’ll love the U Chair by Mas Creations. Have a smaller space?

Innovative materials take centre stage as we challenge traditional notions and embrace a sustainable future. The want for innovative products that not only look beautiful, but also spark conversation are of increasing demand. Recently, sustainable designer, Beller has collaborated with Hydro to create Bello!, a 99% recycled aluminium bench that is both appealingly futuristic and incredibly durable. Available in a wide spectrum of colours, its internal structure was designed with versatility in mind, allowing you to seamlessly combine multiple benches together and even integrate charging systems. Other innovative pieces we love are the Studio Hampus Penttinens Svartskär chair. Made from discovered flotsam rope from the shores of Kosterhavet. If you prefer something more delicate, you'll love Blooming by Studio Round. A mesmerising lighting collection created from ironed plastic bags.
Monochromatic schemes possess a remarkable duality, capable of crafting spaces that exude both boldness and tranquility. Covering a room with similar hues and tones has the ability to cocoon and envelop our senses and is truly impactful. This style is becoming an increasingly popular way to create both bold and soft spaces. By embracing lighter hues, an instantly refreshing atmosphere can be created. Pastel shades, on the other hand, extract our innate sense of playfulness, while deep and dark tones hold a powerful presence. To enhance this effect, incorporating a diverse range of textures is crucial for visual interest. Irrespective of the chosen palette, this technique envelops your space in a captivating style that is uniquely its own.
