As we make our way into 2023, we enter a new year of home decor trends and begin to look at stylish options to inspire those upcoming renovations and makeovers. Many of the local estate agents Chelmsford branches are seeing homeowners make improvements to their kitchens before putting their home on the market, so hopefully you’ll find some much needed inspiration below.

Bright And Bold With Viva Magenta

Every year, Pantone (the world renowned systemiser and sorter of colour) announces its ‘colour of the year’ and this colour is seen in the world of fashion, catwalks and in home decor across the globe. An instant trend-setter, the chosen colour will inspire design in all forms. The 2023 Pantone colour of the year is Viva Magenta. This bold and brave shade will add a pop of colour to any home design and could easily be used in kitchens. Think bright and stylish cushions in the Viva Magenta colourway, or pops of this inspiring shade on your statement walls. However you choose to utilise this colour you can be sure that fellow fashion fans and style aficionados will get the reference.

Bringing The Outdoors In

Another home decor trend that’s set to be big in 2023 looks to involve bringing the outdoors in. Creating stylish looks that either draw inspiration from natural elements or bringing living plants into the home is becoming more popular than ever. Purchase plants that thrive in warmer and often humid environments so that when you are cooking, these won’t be badly affected.

Think about using natural elements within your kitchen design. A live edge table made from solid and sturdy natural wood will not only create a super stylish impact, it will also stand the test of time with both versatility and its ability to age and weather perfectly over time.

Open Plan Decor With Oversized Kitchen Islands

Open plan living has always been popular and that’s not about to change during 2023. We are likely to see industrial style, mixed with more boho and natural elements to create a fusion of trends. Light and airy colours will open up any space, whilst dark and dramatic cabinets add a layer of interest. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that minimalist or open plan style has to be boring. It can be elevated to blend with your own personal sense of style.

Adding a few key statement accessory pieces and some on-trend artwork will show guests your personal taste and keep your kitchen from becoming just another ‘cookie cutter’ example of a popular style that’s the same as everyone else’s home.

Whichever of these looks inspire you the most, don’t forget to add your own stamp on things. Creating vision boards and mood boards on websites such as Pinterest or Canva will help you to plan your layout, without commiting to a final design immediately.
