Some of the most popular interior design trends for 2023 include quiet luxury, the return of bold color, natural stone surfaces, closed floor plans, mixed metal finishes, statement lighting, and 60s and 70s influences — particularly in furniture design.
Accent walls are still having a major moment.
Interior designer Rudolph Diesel expects to see more accent walls add definition and eye-catching elements to spaces in 2023.
This year, design trends are primed to shift into pops of color, playful patterns, texture-rich materials along with a blend of handmade pieces and bespoke touches that lend warmth and character to a space.
Accent walls aren't outdated, but the latest iterations are often much more than the single paint shade that was popular in the past.
The consensus is that grey is out and warm neutrals will continue to dominate in 2023.
Cons of accent walls
"Making an accent wall the first thing you see when you enter a room will distract from everything else around," Cruzado says. "A room with more than one focal point will feel more welcoming and put together." Your walls don't need to be the focal point.

Viva Magenta by Pantone
Rounding out a year of blush-tone selections, Pantone selected Viva Magenta 18-1750, a bold pinkish red, as its 2023 color of the year, calling it "an unconventional shade for an unconventional time."
Black skinny jeans have been a timeless fashion staple for years and continue to be in style in 2023. Their color and fit combo is unmatched as they go well with almost any outfit.
Rules for Designing an Accent Wall
Be careful not to go overboard, as too much of the same color will make the room look monochromatic. Accent walls should support existing focal points you want to preserve, not create a battle for attention. Don't put an accent wall on a wall you don't want to accentuate.
In general, the right wall to accent is usually the first one that you see when you enter a room. You and your guests will always have it in view.
Now that gray has fallen out of favor, you may be wondering what color is replacing gray. Of all the neutrals, gray is the one that always held the most gravitas with designers and decorators, however, gray is slowly being replaced by beige.
Sherwin Williams chose “Redend Point” as their 2023 color of the year. It's a strong beige that they describe as “minimal yet cozy” and creating a “comforting backdrop”. Combine it with white, brown or other beiges. It also looks good with warm metals such as gold.
Beige is a popular color at the moment, as homeowners ditch the cold and often stark tones of grey for something that brings more warmth and life to a room.
