Interior Design Trends for Autumn 2023 - 9 stylish tips & new arrivals

1. PLAYFUL SHAPES

Interior design in 2023 has generally been much more playful, in contrast to the minimalist style of recent years. Just like the colour trends, we are looking for something new and so the design language has become much more playful this year. Check out the Lulu pouf from Design House Stockholm or the Paste vase from ferm LIVING - both are playful interpretations of classic interior accessories that will make you take a second look.

2. COLOUR ON COLOUR

You may have noticed the biggest theme for the autumn 2023 interior design trends is colour. Whether you're cheering it on or clutching your beige throw tightly refusing to let go, we're actually heading into a more colourful interior design era. Why? Well, because when we've been exposed to something long enough, we tend to get bored and want to move in the opposite. This spring and summer we've seen a lot of pink, neon green and orange but for autumn 2023, the colours below are the ones to go for!

3. MUSTARD!

The wonderful nostalgic vibes that permeate the autumn 2023 interior design trends take clear form in this beautifully retro shade of mustard yellow that finds its way into our interiors on everything from textiles to furniture.

4. SHADES OF GREEN

Is there a better complement to mustard yellow than a rich shade of green? The new arrivals for Autumn embraces this peaceful colour that evokes nature and brands such as Marimekko, &Tradition and Layered are showcasing a dark green shade in their new products in everything from table settings to rugs.

5. RED + BLUE

The most prominent colour trend of the year has undoubtedly been the combination of red and blue in interior design. This colourful trend continues among the interior design trends for autumn 2023. It is most easily adopted with smaller interior details, but for the brave design lover who wants to be at the forefront, it's time for larger interior pieces to be dyed red.

6. COLOURED GLASS

Vases and lanterns are ideal interior details that will quickly renew your home and also allow you to test out the latest trends. This year, coloured glass has received a boost and continues to stand strong in the autumn 2023 interior design trends. Among the season's new arrivals, we are also seeing an increase in glass vases in opaque designs. Check out Marimekko's new colours for Mini & Urna!

7. PATTERNS

From tone-on-tone and monochrome to multi-coloured and patterned - that's how we can sum up the interior design trends for autumn 2023. Embrace pattern in your home this season and see how it energises everyday life. This autumn, it's all about patterns: checks, stripes, floral patterns - you choose.

8. THE RUG AS A STATEMENT PIECE

A given part of interior design, especially in winter, is carpets, and in the autumn 2023 interior design trends, patterned, statement piece carpets take centre stage. If you haven't already seen it, check out the Stig Lindberg x Layered collection where Lindberg's famous Berså pattern comes to life on one of Layered's exclusive wool rugs.

9. METAL FINISH

Let autumn shine! Yes, this autumn and winter our interiors will shimmer in brass or chrome – the choice is yours. Metal finishes break up and create an elegant contrast in a room, regardless of interior design style. The reflective properties create depth in the room and can be a subtle but effective element in your interior design this autumn.
