1. HIGH PILE UPHOLSTERY
Since the start of 2023, I've been keeping my eye on how upholstery is evolving and trying to figure out what is replacing bouclé - the fabric that dominated for much of 2022. It's a style of fabric that has long been used to feel sophisticated and refined, but I'm noticing something taking its place that feels even richer and divine.
2. VENETIAN PLASTER FOR LUXURIOUS TEXTURE
For a more luxurious finish on your walls, Venetian plaster is a great trend that is showing no signs of slowing down, and a surefire way for how to bring texture to walls.
'To bring warmth and softness to many of our spaces at Studio Zung, the age-old method of Venetian plaster adorns our walls,' says Tommy Zung, New York-based designer at Studio Zung. 'Venetian plaster is a putty made from fired limestone combined with water without any aggregates of marble, granite, or glass.
3. LOW PROFILE FURNITURE
Curved sofas have been a trend for some time, but emerging alongside this style of sofa is the modern low-profile look. There is something super smart about a sofa with a low profile. It feels contemporary and cool and is a trend that is certainly here to stay. If you're looking to invest in a low-profile sofa, it will certainly give a luxurious makeover to your living room.
4. SHEER CURTAINS FOR AN ETHEREAL GLOW
Sheer curtains have proven popular this year, providing a dainty and delicate take on your living room curtains. Bringing an ethereal quality of light to any room, the look plays with natural light to create a feeling of luxury. Floor-to-ceiling curtains that drape down to the floor, leaving a puddle of fabric are a great way to embrace the look.
5. BUILT-IN CABINETRY OVER OPEN SHELVES
Open shelves decorated with carefully curated pieces have been trending in the kitchen. Elsewhere in the home, we're seeing designers adding sleek and smart built-in cabinetry. 'Built-in cabinetry will make any room feel more curated and expensive,' says Juan Carretero of Capital C Interiors. 'Go big and paint it a bold contrasting color. It doesn’t have to be highly detailed or ornate. Simple lines could go a long way.'
