Do over your decor!

Interior design is one thing that continually reinvents itself. It's easy to get stuck in a decor rut when you've been living in your home for a while. You begin to struggle to look at your space with a fresh set of eyes and can't begin to imagine where to begin when it comes to updating your style. RealGlen Properties has put together an easy-to-follow guide to help you achieve the title of the chicest house on the block. 

 

 

According to the glamorous and all-knowing Martha Stewart, home decor in 2023 is going to focus on bringing out natural textures, earthy tones and neutral colour palettes. This is great news for anyone looking to revamp in the new year, as it requires minimal effort to reach the desired effect. You can DIY a lot of projects as the trend for handmade, bespoke ornaments and furniture is happening now. Think of any old wooden furniture that would benefit from a fresh lick of glossy varnish or couches that are in dire need of reupholstering. You can update your decor by covering couches in a neutral, durable fabric that will stand the test of time. Choose muted browns, classic creams or pale pastels for a soft feel. 

 

 

While glass coffee tables have been on trend since their inception, wood is making a comeback in a big way. The elegance of wooden finishings around the house is a surefire way to invite a cosy and relaxed feeling into your environment while keeping it classy. Popular colours for 2023 home interior include a blend of greys and beiges. The aim is to enhance features in your home with furniture that can be moved around. This creates versatility for you to mix and match your rooms, creating balance and cohesion throughout your home. 

 

Replace bright tones with earthy shades when it comes to throws, scatter cushions, rugs, tablecloths and more. Jewel tones are still on trend, as they can easily be mixed in with softer colours in lighter shades. Blues and greens are regarded as soothing colours and are expected to be making a clean sweep of interior colours this year. If you are someone who enjoys living in a colourful home, but still wants to be on trend, consider using hues of purple and pinks to set off blue and green accents perfectly. 

 

 

If you want your home to make a bold statement there's hardly a better way than doing it with an accent wall. Depending on the design and layout of your home accent walls can be used just about anywhere you want to draw attention. They are a great way to bring unique textures and outstanding visual elements into your home. Define areas of your home with key accent wall details and watch as your space transforms into a modern abode. 

 

Creative ways to design a feature wall include using wallpaper, mosaic tiles, stone, glass patterns, faux creeper plants, mirrors, murals, monochrome paints and more. You can invite in any aesthetic you want just by adding a feature wall to your interiors. If you're going for a luxurious feel opt for plush material inlays such as velvet, if the illusion of space is what you're after consider making the entire wall a reflective mirror and if you want an element of nature leaf print, ivy or fake flowers can mimic an inside garden. 

 

 

The farmhouse trend will continue throughout the year, as it provides just the right amount of homeliness and casual flair. However, as minimalism is becoming more popular the farmhouse trend has grown more sophisticated and clean. Think lots of white cotton, woven wood and rustic wood finishings.
