From wild patterns and rich paint shades to fresh wood tones and retro revivals, there are lots of new decorating trends to try that will make your home feel totally 2023. The HGTV Magazine editors rounded up the top styles we're going to be seeing on repeat this year and shopped around for cool decor that makes it easy to incorporate these trends into your space.
Bold Marble
More-is-more maximalism will be in full force in 2023, and that applies to stone, too. Richly colored marble with over-the-top veining is showing up throughout the home, beyond kitchens and bathrooms. Try a side table or accessory to add some drama to your space.
'70s Style
The disco decade is cool again. The luxury antiques site 1stDibs has reported a 20% spike in searches of iconic furniture from the ’70s, and designers are embracing vintage hues, like rust and avocado, along with wall-to-wall carpeting and old-school conversation pits. These cozy seating areas are supposed to be sunken, but you can mimic the feel without a renovation: Pottery Barn, Burrow, World Market and Albany Park all sell oversized sectionals with square layouts.

Chrome Hardware
After a 10-year obsession with matte bronze and black hardware, we’re shining things up a bit. Design pros expect chrome to dominate showrooms this year on faucets, furniture legs and drawer pulls.
Square Tiles
Consider these the new subway tiles. Designers have long loved square tiles, but this year you’ll see big stores stocking them, and at all price points: The Tile Shop has handmade-style ceramic options for less than $13 per square foot. Look for 4-inch tiles, which are the perfect size for a backsplash or bathroom walls.

Tiger Everything
The Year of the Water Tiger is coming to an end, but the majestic cat seems to be here to stay. We spotted the animal all over the fall trade shows — and not just the stripes. The whole tiger was featured on wallpaper, rugs and so much more.
HGTV Star Prediction:
I’m anticipating lots of luxe fabrics — supersoft velvets and channeled upholstery.
Giant Accessories
Home companies are going big: Lamp bases are getting fatter, couches are getting longer and floor mirrors practically take up entire walls. Anthropologie’s Gleaming Primrose mirror (pictured here and all over Pinterest, Instagram and TikTok) stands at 7 feet tall and more than 5 feet wide. It’s already a bestseller!

Pleated Lampshades
Designers are calling it “nostalgia decor,” and we’re loving the grandma vibe. Pick up a shade in an unexpected print to make this retro style feel up-to-date.
HGTV Star Prediction:
We’re going to see table lamps in unexpected spaces — kitchens, bathrooms, even laundry rooms.
Flat-Front Wood Cabinets
“These cabinets are winning all of the design awards right now,” says Jeremy Parcels of the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA). According to the group’s latest trend report, modern styles like these will lead the way over the next three years as we start moving away from ubiquitous Shaker-style cabinets. White remains the No. 1 cabinet color choice, but a new survey by Houzz reveals that medium-toned wood is a strong second.

William Morris Florals
British textile designer William Morris became an icon in the 1860s as the founder of the Arts and Crafts movement. Now his intricate botanical designs are gaining new fans as brands like Williams Sonoma and Spode launch tableware with his Morris & Co. patterns.
Chocolate (OK, Brown)
For the past decade, home decor has been all about grays and whites, but homeowners have started craving earth tones. “Browns make us feel more connected to nature and are gaining momentum,” says Sue Wadden, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams. More pro proof: Designer Nate Berkus recently redid his living room in shades of brown, and Help! I Wrecked My House host Jasmine Roth put an “ugly good” brown plaid carpet in her new cabin.

HGTV Star Prediction:
Rich, dramatic colors are back. Think autumn shades like burnt orange, olive and burgundy.
