Making pronouncements about the design world is a bit like installing a gallery wall. You gather pieces from all over, arrange them before you in what feels like harmony and stand back to take them all in at once. This season, the team at 1stDibs approached that installation just as you’d imagine an online design marketplace would. They quizzed 880 designers from all over the world on what’s waxing and waning in the interior design world, then they created a composite portrait of the responses. This is the scene they arranged — and what you can expect to see appearing in (and disappearing from) the spaces we’ll move through this year. Make yourself comfortable, and have a look at what’s in store for design in 2023.

For the third year in a row, designers called opulent emerald the most on-trend tone. Rich and satisfying as textural velvet upholstery and as a gleaming lacquered or mineral surface, saturated green is a perennial favorite for bringing interiors across the style spectrum to life.

Second only to deep emerald, sage green is sprouting up in designers’ fields of vision as well. If you’re not in the market to plant yourself firmly in this trend with a major piece of furniture, there’s lots of room for clippings, notes 1stDibs editorial director and trends expert Anthony Barzilay Freund. “Color is easily added to a room through strategically placed objects, whether a celadon-green vase on a bookshelf or a small, abstract print in primary hues hung on an otherwise-blank wall.”

Speaking of green, a whopping 91% of interior designers reported that they expect demand for interior plants to continue to trend in 2023. Given that sustainability is also on their minds (and among their clients’ priorities), native plants are likely to play key roles in refreshed interiors — and accents like garden clippings and foraged foliage have cameos to make as well.
