2023 INTERIOR DESIGN TREND FORCAST

Hola my friends....

A few of you reached out with help to get my post delivered....thank you!

I will get on it and hopefully there is a good solution.  Blogger is kind of "old school" and most people have moved on to a better platform but as usual...here I am stuck in the "past" :)

Today I am joining some of my respected blogger friends to discuss Design Trends of 2023.

Classic Casual Home

Cindy Hattersley

Carla Aston Designed

Life on Virginia Street

Most Lovely things

Now we know that if it is trending too hard then we actually need to stay away from it :)

The thing I like to stress to people is that the reason you hire a designer.....is to get a curated look that not everyone has....that is just my opinion....ha ha.

Anyway lets get to the reason for this post!

I am not sure I would describe these as "trends" 

per se....because things/looks actually make it full circle in design.

The first trend I have noticed and I mean EVERYWHERE are fabric covered lampshades!

They were allover in the 3 showhouses I went to during the holidays.

Whitney Parkinson

Jared Hughes

I found these below on Etsy....and I saw so many different sellers!

1. Lampshade

2. Lampshade

3. Lampshade

4. Lampshade

The next thing are wall murals....

There are so many out there now including peel and stick!

1. Birds

2. Blue Trees

3. Leaves

Morris and Co wallpaper has been front and center.   

I have seen so many designers use their papers and I have fallen in love with quite a few!

I about died when I saw this graphic on their website.....

I know...I am known for my love of black and white and I do still love it but to make it warm you really need to mix your textures!

The last thing I am seeing is brown....as in "brown is the new black" haha

And when I say brown.....that covers a lot of territory!

You can see the variations in the colors above.  Of course my favorite is not included in the above and that would be SW URBANE BRONZE.

Take a gander at it in the walls of my sisters office.

And her bookshelves.....you can see it looks different depending on the light!

So to recap:

Fabric Lampshades

Wall Murals

Morris and Co wallpaper

The Color Brown

Now you need to grab your coffee and shuffle over to my talented friends and see what they have to say.  What is good is that we live in different parts of the country so I know we will see a range of perspectives!

LADISIC FINE HOMES HOUSE BEAUTIFUL WHOLE HOME 2022

Well...we made it through Christmas....I loved seeing all of the pictures of families and Christmas decorating.  

Since I lost my sister to cancer in August of 2021.....the holidays feel a little sad for me. I know sometime soon it will be better as "time is the great healer".....

We have been through 2 showhouses on the last few post and now I have the last one that my friend Michael Ladisic worked on.  

I am just going to share some of it today because I have tons of pictures:)

This started out as a renovation and quickly became so much more!  Once House Beautiful contacted Ladisic Fine Homes to become involved it did grew to a much bigger project!

One of my favorite spaces was the kitchen by designer Whitney Parkinson.  It was a blend of tradition with a classic feel.  In my opinion it will be relevant for quite a while.....

This was a small storage area right off the butlers pantry.

Circa Lighting was one of the sponsors and these kitchen pendants were stunning!  I think the barstools were from Serena and Lily.

This was the butlers pantry.....

I was really loving the 2 tone cabinet color.....

Looking straight ahead from the island was a beautiful dining area...I mean it was so inviting to me.

Right off the kitchen was this pretty bar area....

The living room off the kitchen was designer by 

Zoe Feldman

The stripe wallpaper wallpaper was Farrow and Ball.

I happen to have a before of this space....

They painted the beams and added that wallpaper.....so much better!

I have a ton more images.....that I will share....

So I have gotten some emails that many of you who have read my blog for a very long time are not getting my post updates.  I checked into that and well....Blogger no longer supports Feedburner that actually pushed it to my followers.  So we have a problem.

I need to find someone to help me figure out what to do but meanwhile if you are on Facebook...I do have a Design Indulgence FB page that you could follow and I put my post there.

There is just way too much change going on haha.

THE ATLANTA HOLIDAY SHOWHOUSE

OK....where did we leave off...a few people have emailed me that they aren't receiving my blog...so I am not sure if it's because I have not been blogging much of if "blogger" has changed something and I don't know about it?

Is "blogger" still a thing?

Do people still use it?

Help a sister out.....:)

It has been a busy month.  My car wouldn't start and when you are single...well that is just a bummer because it's not like there is another car in the driveway to use!  So I got a jump from my neighbor and took it to the Ford dealership and then had to go across the street and rent a car for 4 days.  Yeah....

Turns out that I got a crappy battery from the Tires Plus up the street where I live [hey it's convenient] and it lasted about a year and a half.

It took Ford a few days to figure that out....um?  WTH?  

Meanwhile "tick tock" meter is running with Enterprise....so a 180.00 battery actually cost me close to 500.00.

OK....that sucked.

Alrighty then....there were so many showhouses during the holidays.  I shared the Flower Magazine on with you and then after that one The Holiday House was going on.  So grab a coffee or some wine and take a gander!

This was the powder room off the garage and even though I am not much of a color girl....this caught my eye!

Amber Guyton

This was actually in the scullery which she did also!  Loved the color of the cabinets and the ceiling wallpaper!

Next up was the kitchen....which was pretty!  I love the big window behind the range...you would always have something nice to look at!

Lauren Davenport

This kitchen dining area had me with that custom bench!

One of my favorite rooms was the office.  I love the oversized wallpaper and blush colors!

Jessica Bradley

The living room was perfection with that large piece of art behind the sofa!

Janie Wilburn

If you want drama and elegance the dining room was all of that!

The ceilings were so pretty!

Lauren Deloach

The amazing fabric from [I think] Cowtan and Tout was epic!

At the top of the stairs was some good modern and I was there for it!

Tavia Forbes and Monet Masters

A new designer from Nashville gave me all the feels with mostly white and a splash  of green.....

Evan Millard

My friend Chris Holt who owns Noah J and Co pulled it together with some great green and soft blue

There was a huge basement/man-cave situation!

So I still have another showhouse to share with you....the House Beautiful Whole Home which was in Atlanta again this year.  

And.....I have 3 installs to share with you!

I am sure you guys are all decorated and ready for Christmas....I did manage to put up a red ribbon on each of my porch lights.  It just isn't the same to decorate when it's only you....but that's OK....I would probably complain about it anyway:)
