Fall 2023 Design Trends

As we ease into the embrace of Fall 2023, it's time we dive into the latest interior design trends that are set to make your living spaces as stylish as they are snug. Here at Micah & Co, we're thrilled to spill the beans on what's hot this season. From the return of earthy tones to the need for embracing diversity in design, there's something exciting for everyone in the world of interior decor.

The Lake Aluma Project

1. Brown is the New Black

Say adieu to the era when black was the uncontested champ of neutrals in interior design. Fall 2023 has ushered in a new era where brown reigns supreme. Picture deep chocolate, rich caramel, or a soothing taupe; brown shades are having their moment. Sprinkle these hues on walls, furniture, or decor to wrap your home in a cozy, inviting vibe. Mix them up with contrasting colors like soft greens or creamy whites to strike the perfect balance.

2. Faux is Out, Real is In

This season, it's all about keeping it real. Faux finishes and materials are taking a backseat as we give a warm welcome to the real, natural elements. Opt for genuine wood, stone, or leather to infuse your spaces with a dash of authenticity and timeless elegance. On the same note, when decorating, opt for using real pumpkins, real branches in vases, and essential oils for a nice scent. Using real materials not only adds a touch of luxury but also champions sustainability and a deeper connection to nature—an essential aspect in today's world.

3. Use Plaids, Velvets, and Textures

To craft an inviting ambiance that wraps you in warmth, texture is your secret weapon. Plaids, velvets, and various textures are having a moment this fall. Sprinkle some cozy plaid patterns into your upholstery or add velvety softness through sofas and cushions. Mix and match different textures to give your spaces depth and an intriguing visual appeal.

4. Diversity in Design

In an increasingly interconnected world, it's vital to reflect diversity in your interior design choices. Fall 2023 is all about inclusivity and embracing global perspectives in design. Incorporate diverse cultural influences into your decor—whether it's through art, textiles, or furniture pieces. Highlight different styles and aesthetics from around the world to create a more inclusive and welcoming vibe in your home.

Project Black Beauty

5. Bold Monochromatic Moments

While earthy tones are the stars of the season, don't be afraid to sprinkle in some bold monochromatic flair. Pick a rich hue like deep teal, lush forest green, or earthy terracotta, and let it take center stage in a room. Monochromatic design can be both daring and comforting, creating a sense of unity and calm in your space.

To sum it up, Fall 2023 is all about embracing warmth, authenticity, and diversity in interior design. Brown is the new black, genuine materials are making a comeback, and textures are your trusty companions for creating a cozy vibe. Remember to celebrate the beauty of diversity in your decor choices and consider adding those daring monochromatic moments for a touch of drama. As always, your home is an extension of your unique personality, so make these trends your own and enjoy the process of creating a beautiful and welcoming space for yourself and your loved ones. Happy decorating!
