Design trends 2023 from Milan Furniture Fair: How to bring them into your home

Decorative accessories: transparency meets colour gradient

There is a big trend towards transparency, especially in accessories. Almost invisible at first glance, designs with transparent or pearlescent surfaces made of glass, acrylic or plexiglass have all the more impact when you take a closer look. The new transparent vases, bowls and decorative objects with their airy and organic design help you to create space, to move, to dream and to let your thoughts wander. If you prefer a touch of colour, accessories with colour gradients bring fresh and fascinating accents into your own home.With delicate shades of purple and green, reminiscent of a rainbow, you can easily create a calming atmosphere.

New comfort

Your well-being is the key to a home you love. This year, it's all about a new kind of comfort that fills our living spaces with warmth and cosiness. Inspired by rolling landscapes, exaggerated curves, rounded edges and sculptural designs create an uplifting ambience, while plush and textured surfaces invite you to snuggle in. Treat yourself to a moment of peace and feel embraced!

Striking grooves

Textured and structured materials that we like to hold in our hands and that feel good have already been popular for several years. Now, the striking grooves and relief structures on vases, lamps, chairs and sofas add visual highlights. The great thing is that the haptic surfaces add depth to objects made of glass or ceramic in an instant and ensure that vases look great even without flowers or twigs.

Homage to the Seventies

Retro is and remains a perennial favourite. Although this trend is reminiscent of the colourful designs of the 70s, the designs are refreshed with modern materials and up-to-date details and thus wonderfully manage to make the leap into the now. From sideboards and sofas to accessories and textiles, the designs are characterised by inviting colours, round and clear shapes and timeless comfort. We're particularly excited about iconic armchairs, which skilfully bring the flair of the 70s into our homes with their classic design and retro-inspired colours.

Colour accents that put you in the mood

The splendour of colour is making its way into our homes, bringing vibrancy and joy into our everyday lives with colourful accents. Whether bold reds, radiant yellows or lively blues - furniture and accessories made of wood, glass or ceramics shine in a sea of colour and radiate good humour. But it is not only the surfaces that shine in bright primary colours, the material itself also plays an important role. Coloured wood is celebrating a comeback and gives classic designs a youthful touch in no time at all. So what are you waiting for? Let yourself be enchanted by this play of colours.

Artful meshwork

Woven and braided patterns dress home accessories and furniture this year, bringing a piece of craftsmanship into our rooms. Also omnipresent at the furniture fair were decorative lamps, which are more objects of art than lighting fixtures. With their decorative patterns, they cleverly adorn walls, ceilings and floors when illuminated, bringing great visual effects to your home.
