Design Trends for 2023 – More is EVERYTHING

Home designers have blended minimalism and simplicity in their home styles for the past few years. This style involves removing anything from the space that is not necessary for function or lifestyle. The common phrase, “does it spark joy,” is a new mantra for homeowners hoping to eliminate clutter. As we enter spring, this mindset has been thrown out the window. Maximalism is the new theme. Color and patterns, textures, and excess have replaced the sleek lines and neutral colors of minimalist design. Home décor trends now invite homeowners to play with bold colors and contrasting patterns and shapes. Almost anything goes. It’s important to note that this is not an invitation for clutter. A perusal of home magazines and design books emphasizing the latest “boho” style clearly shows a method to the design. The furnishings are functional and comfortable. Color palettes are curated for harmony and mood. While this is a great time to experiment to avoid creating a hodgepodge of design, thought is more important than ever.
Houseplants are one of my favorite and most cost-effective ways to fill up an empty corner. Hang curtains close to the ceiling, and if the view is amazing, be sure to choose a subtle pattern or solid to frame the view.
Spring is just around the corner, why not celebrate with a fresh approach to décor? If you are getting ready to sell your home on the MS Gulf Coast, you may not need to put everything in storage. Forget the minimalist style of the past and embrace maximalism; with all the print, color, and excitement it brings to the home.
