If you’ve been thinking about home renovation ideas for Spring 2023, you’ve come to the right place. A lot has changed since the pandemic began and people are ready to transform their homes into relaxing, stress-relieving, and peaceful spaces.
Updating My Home for Spring Trends
Finding new ways to make your space a place for relaxation and rejuvenation is not as complicated as some would have you believe. You can spend money you would have previously used at the spa or on a retreat, and put it towards creating escapes that can be accessed as part of your daily routine.
Personalized Kitchens
This is not your average kitchen makeover. We’re talking about designing unique features that make your kitchen stand out.
For many, the kitchen is where we spend the most time with family and friends. So why not make it more comfortable to hang out? That’s exactly what is on trend for Spring 2023.
It does not have to cost a lot of money and does not have to be a full-blown home renovation project. Think about integrating aspects of what you already have in your living room (like throw pillows, a small table, or accent chairs) into a kitchen nook to create a lounge atmosphere.
If you have a corner of your kitchen that is not in heavy use, consider adding two flat trunks up against the wall catty-corner. You can place padded seating on top and add an array of throw pillows. Extra pillows, blankets, and other potentially useless items for hosting (like a charcuterie board or party games) can be hidden away in the storage trunks.
Neutral Tones
As far as Spring home trends go, neutral tones and decor are having a moment. Neutral tones add a serene vibe in contrast to stark minimalist designs. If you’re not feeling neutral tones, then you’ll be happy to hear that warm tones are also having a moment. Here are a few tips on how to brighten up a dark room.
Turn Your Bathroom into a Home Spa
Bathrooms are spaces where color can make it pop. Leave those neutral tones at the door while you consider home renovation trends for your bathroom. All this takes is a fresh paint job or new wall tiling.
Bathrooms can be restorative spaces for relaxation and rejuvenation. With that in mind, think about how you can transform your bathroom into a private spa.
A simple trick is buying high-quality white towels to replace your old towels. From there, consider other spa features to be incorporated into your bathroom based on your price range.
When making a renovation game plan, always assume you will exceed your budget by at least 20%. This way, if you’re under budget, it’s a relief, and you will not feel overly stressed out when it turns out the cost of supplies and installation exceeded initial expectations.
A Natural View
For Spring 2023, a major home renovation trend involves transforming indoor spaces into indoor-outdoor spaces. Think about Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and the way it blends the home into the natural habitat. This trend is coming back strong!
Using mesh screening and sliding doors that open into your backyard are prime ways to open up a porch or addition.
Another tactic is adding windows— especially large windows. If possible, dramatic windows. Think windows that go all the way from the floor to the ceiling. Having a whole side of the room that can be opened up to reveal the outdoors.
You can feel close to both the serenity and the wildness of the natural world from the comfort and regulated temperatures inside your home.
Curves Are Back In Style
The minimalist hard edges are taking a backseat in 2023 as Spring home decor trends are taking a turn toward loving those curves. From curved kitchen islands to curvy couches, the trend is moving away from sharp edges that can feel harsh, cold, and otherwise uninviting.
Start rethinking your spaces as luxurious places to zen out and enjoy peace of mind. Curves add a natural feel of fluidity to your spaces.
A nice byproduct of choosing curves is you can often more easily blend items in and maximize your spaces.
So, what comes in curves?
- Mirrors
- Rugs
- Coffee tables
- Lamps
- Ceiling light fixtures
- Accent chairs
- Stools
- Shelving
Let’s Talk About Materials
Spring 2023 home decor trends include using materials like wood, stone, rattan, and wool to compliment soft natural tones. You can choose to go decadent with fabrics like linen, silk, and velvet.
Something to keep in mind is black accents can play a vital role in offsetting natural tones in a way that is always trendy.
Get Personal
In today’s home renovation trends, others want to see your personality reflected in your decor choices. Everyone is tired of cookie-cutter designs. They want to feel a sense of home. They want to see how you navigate design choices in each room and add a personal touch. A personal touch can have a completely different set of meanings known only to you. What matters to others is they see your design choices as authentic aspects of your personality.
Closed Floor Plans Are Back!
Open-design floor plans have lost much of their desire after years of being stuck in the same space with others during the pandemic. People want different spaces with different uses and meanings. A private office or study is a good example.
Spaces that are about you, your taste, and geared towards how you like to spend alone time.
2023 is a year to focus on yourself and what you need. Thinking about self-care rituals, consider designing spaces personalized to making tasks you engage in most flow seamlessly.
Spaces for Self-Care
It’s always said you have to put the oxygen mask on yourself first. This means taking care of yourself so you can better take care of those you love.
Creating self-care and wellness spaces in your home is a great way to find relaxation and rejuvenation from the stressors of everyday life. These in-home escapes can be as simple as deciding certain spaces are designed or re-designated for particular purposes.
A shed can easily be transformed into an artist’s studio or woodshop space for refinishing furniture. Doing this yourself can be a stress relief and make the pieces of furniture you own feel more personally significant.
You can create a yoga studio or in-house meditation studio in an office, attic, or basement. All you need is a few mats, cushions, pads, or pillows. You can purchase candles, incense, and other decor to set the tone. A relaxing meditation tapestry on the wall can add good vibes. Spending time looking at art can be joyful while you detach a bit from the rest of your daily life.
Consider creating a garden, rock garden, or meditation pond in your backyard. These spaces can offer a lot more value than a bare yard.
The Return of Mid-Century Modern
There’s been an ongoing trend towards homemade, repurposed, and rehabbed mid-century modern furniture and decor. What’s especially great about this is the eco-friendly element. Of course, this trend also has potential to save you money. You can find great mid-century modern West Elm look-alikes at estate sales, local consignment shops, as well as thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army.
Something to keep in mind is farmhouse decor remains popular as does vintage. You can combine all of these trends but you’ll want to be careful about clashing. Not all these things want to live in the same room.
If you have a closed design plan and are planning renovations to create more personalized individual rooms, then this is a terrific opportunity to have unique themed rooms, each with its own style and vibe.
