Design is influenced by everything around us – fashion, architecture, the environment, even health and wellbeing. Looking forward to 2023, we share our predictions for styles and designs that will be gracing our homes next year.
Bringing The Outside In
Nature provides an endless source of design inspiration. From floral and winged motifs to organic lines and nature’s palette, connection to nature and ‘bringing the outside in’ is a key trend for 2023.
Get the look in your home by weaving subtle geometry, abstract patterns and the repetition found in nature through the space, whether this be in the use of wallpapers, textiles, or art.
Curves and Organic Lines
Modern harsh lines and rigid corners are a thing of the past and have been firmly replaced by natural lines and curves, the trend has crept into our homes since early this year and we’re expecting to see plenty more of it in 2023.
If you’ve already experimented with this trend through accessories, try taking it to the next level by featuring an organic shaped piece of furniture. Soft sweeping sofas in crushed velvet can make a sophisticated statement or adding curved walls to create a flowing sense of fluidity.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a word that we all hear a lot, and how we are all responsible to make sustainable life choices which reduce our impact on the planet. Design plays a huge part of this and here at Oliver Burns we’re making much more conscious choices to be sure that we’re playing our part.
We work closely with suppliers to make sure that our pieces are created using more sustainable processes and materials, as well as ensuring decisions are made with our ethos of ‘thoughtful luxury’ in mind. This means thinking about designing pieces with longevity in mind and talking clients through sustainable options to reduce our impact.
Furniture as Art
Our approach to purchasing and designing furniture is changing, as we head into 2023 we are expecting to see a shift in mindset, where clients look to furniture as investment pieces.
Gone are our days of fast, disposal living, our attitudes are changing and we’re seeing more clients wanting to purchase bespoke and signature design pieces so they can be invested in as masterpieces of the future. When considering pieces for your home, keep longevity and quality in mind.
Mindful Homes
As we focus on leading heathier lives, we are also starting to focus on healthier minds. Experts tell us how a happy mind is intrinsically linked to a happy home, which is why we’ll be seeing the trend of ‘Mindful Homes’ appearing in 2023.
Rooms dedicated to Yoga and meditation have become more and more popular over the last couple of years. Living walls and plants can help increase a feeling of serenity, as well as purifying our air. On a larger scale, a meditation room with an untouched natural backdrop can become the central point of your practice.
Micro Luxury
This trend is all about the details, from luxury bed linen to bespoke drawer interiors, focus on those small luxury elements that make all of the difference. Think mindfully about the finishing touches that don’t scream out but instead subtly add sophistication and class to any space.
You can also add this trend to spaces on a smaller scale by investing in luxury accessories or candles to elevate the atmosphere in your space.

March is always a time for reflection as we take in the brighter days of Spring and the new launches across the luxury sphere. This month we have been musing over the launch of Saudi Arabia’s biggest airport concept and how they are merging design and AI in the most interesting way. The new concept car from Jaguar has certainly been a talking point alongside our thoughts on the new Cartier exhibition, Donatella’s departure and the rise of the Luxury Pop Up!

We often speak about our ethos of Thoughtful Luxury and how it underpins everything we do. In conversations with our clients, collaborators, and team, it’s clear that the meaning of luxury is evolving. No longer defined solely by materiality, luxury today is increasingly measured in time, space, and the ability to nurture our wellbeing. At the Walpole Luxury Summit earlier this year, it was Chris Sanderson, Founder & CEO, The Future Laboratory who gave an inspirational talk on the New Codes of Luxury: Longevity & Wellbeing Strategies Report. Sharing his findings from his report on how UHNWIs are shifting their beliefs and realising that we are our most valuable asset.
