2023 has seen some wonderful decorative trends. With the evolution of the ‘Minimaluxe’ movement came a wave of beautiful decorative pieces; in the world of decorative lighting, we’ve seen a renaissance, and we’ve embraced a whole new range of textures and materials. It’s been a great year for decor, so it’s no wonder the interior designers have been doing some serious shopping.
We’ve all got a favorite home purchase of 2023 (mine is my pair of wall sconces that sit above my bed), but the tastemakers’ purchases are really telling of what interior design trends have made an impact and what is here to stay. To find out, I caught up with three of my favorite designers to find out their favorite buys of 2023.
1. Fireplace accessories
If there is one major takeaway from 2023, it’s that we want our homes to be cozier than ever before. A key pillar for coziness is warmth and lighting, both of which are covered by open fires or log fires. Fireplaces have experienced a renaissance, and homeowners are enjoying the opportunity to decorate mantelpieces and purchase fireplace accessories that reinforce the cozy living room aesthetic.
Christoffer Du Rietz of Du Rietz Design.
‘Our new open fireplace was made in a Calacata marble we had saved for five years back and designed with some nice details to match the house. It came just in time for fireplace season. Apart from looking great, it helps a lot when lighting the fire, which is many times a week on cold winter days.’

For Melissa Warner Rothblum of Massucco Warner, this sculptured marble vanity box by west elm made a beautiful impact on her living room shelf. ‘I think this little box is so chic and is a lot of bang for the buck,’ she says. ‘It’s also perfect for tucking away keys on an entryway, remote controls, bedroom trinkets, or garage clickers.’

Stoneware coffee cups that have that handpainted feel have proved popular, used as decor as well as for a functional kitchen necessity, while interior designer Corinne Mathern takes pride in the pair of glass espresso cups she has in her kitchen. ‘One of the best things I bought for under $50 this year was two vintage Art Deco glass espresso cups on a trip to Italy this year. They make my early morning coffee time with my husband really special and they’re so beautiful,’ she says.

Somewhere between a sunroom and basement lives the daylight basement. Unlike basements that live entirely underground, daylight basements are only partially underground. Their defining trait is at least one or more windows that let the “daylight” in.
So, why are renters looking for properties with this unique space? With some imagination and a little design savvy (or a friend with some), you can turn these spaces into cozy family rooms, a playroom for the kids or a guestroom. Really, these rooms offer nearly endless possibilities. Let’s discover why renters are searching for the elusive daylight basement and what you can do with it once you find one.
What is a daylight basement?
Daylight basements are partially underground rooms with at least one full-sized window. And that’s about it. As you can imagine, they come in nearly every size and shape, with many found in homes built on slopes. This natural topography offers the ability to build into the sloping terrain, creating a space that’s partly in the ground yet has a window and a view.
These unique spaces are sometimes confused with walkout basements. However, unlike a walkout basement, daylight basements don’t have exterior doors.
What are the benefits of a daylight basement?
In addition to more room, which is almost always appreciated unless you’re a tiny-house aficionado, daylight basements offer several advantages.
- Natural light: The natural light brings daylight indoors, providing a connection with nature. It’s a much more welcoming environment than basements with no outside view, enhancing the livability.
- Expand the living area: Daylight basements can add significant usable square footage to your rental.
- Cooler: Depending on where you live and the season, this feature can fall into the plus or minus column. Because they’re partially underground, they tend to be cooler than the rest of the house. It’s part of the reason basements first gained appeal. They offered a colder location to store food, mead and ale, helping these vital necessities last a little longer.
- A room with a view: Need we say more?
- Feels like a living space: Unlike basements that can feel dark and uninviting, the natural light of a daylight basement creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
What are some problems with daylight basements?
As with any room that’s partially below ground, there are a few challenges you may face.
- Leaks: Because these rooms are lower than the rest of the house and partially subterranean, they’re more susceptible to leaks, excess moisture and water damage. Water can seep through the walls or find its way through any cracks in the foundation. If unchecked, this damp environment can lead to mold and mildew. Fortunately, the natural light makes daylight basements less susceptible to mold growth than in-ground basements.
- Limited sunlight: Depending on the slope of the home and the direction it’s facing, there may be limited sunlight. If this is the case, consider asking your landlord for permission to paint it. Light-colored ceilings and walls, as well as mirrors, help make the space feel more open and brighter.
What is a daylight basement used for?
This extra space is up for grabs. Is there an artist in the family? Would a home office be beneficial? Maybe a home gym or a place for the kids to be, well, kids. Possibly a craft room, mancave or music room?
Here are a few of the top daylight basement design trends:
- Game or media room: Do you enjoy entertaining or game night with the family? Daylight basements offer the perfect space for bringing everyone together. Depending on the size, you might consider a foosball or pool table, sitting areas for card and board games and a wet bar. Add a 4K HDR TV with a soundbar or speakers, and you’re prepared for the ultimate entertainment.
- Home office: It can be challenging to fit a home office into a rental property, with bedrooms often destined for family members. This quiet, light-filled space can provide the ideal retreat, a place to work or read a good book. No one will know.
- Home gym: We all struggle with finding the time (or the motivation) to work out. Having a room dedicated to keeping fit is nothing if not inspirational! Some popular options for home gym equipment include an elliptical or stair climber, stationary bike, punching bag, bench press or treadmill. Of course, you can always turn it into a hot yoga studio with some mats, blocks and a heater that can get the room to at least 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
When decorating your new space, check out our home decor color trends and the top 2023 Amazon home decor and furnishing selections for inspiration.
Depending on the setup, another option for your daylight basement may be subletting. Some renters, with the landlord’s permission and an okay from the local municipality, sublet the space, helping to defray the cost of the rental.
Is a daylight basement right for you?
It’s hard to beat a functional and stylish daylight basement. However, the added square footage often translates to higher rent. Consider your budget and how you would use the space to help you determine if this unique architectural addition is worth the cost. Also, make sure to check for excess moisture or mold before signing the lease.

Farmhouse decor has been a prominent design style in recent years, popular for its ability to create inviting and warm spaces in the home. Embracing natural wood, vintage furniture, and cottage architectural details, farmhouse is a cozy and timeless style of decorating.
While farmhouse decor ideas typically lend themselves best to older homes that have interesting details that help create the look, the farmhouse trend has no doubt been embraced in recent years in newer homes too. With the right furniture and colors, a farmhouse style can be successfully achieved to create a cozy home.
home decor trend still relevant in the world of interior design? We spoke to the interior design experts to get their take on whether this is one to take forward into 2024.
Is farmhouse decor still on trend?
‘Farmhouse style has seen many iterations over the past decade, with Joanna Gaines of Magnolia Farms starting a craze when she popularized shiplap on her show, Fixer Upper. It’s evolved quite a bit since then,’ says Lina Galvao of interior design studio Curated Nest.
‘I would not say it’s no longer on trend, though the look of it has evolved to become fresher, more colorful, and more modern,’ she suggests. While Lina proposes that farmhouse decor may be somewhat less of a core interior design trend, she suggests that the farmhouse look is more of a timeless design style that will be continually embraced by homeowners.
Brian Paquette: At Home
For Lina, embracing farmhouse decor yet keeping it relevant for 2024 is all about ensuring it has a modern twist: ‘I think there’s room for this farmhouse look, which could be easily updated to become more modern via the hardware or lighting to adapt to current interior design trends as needed.’
Nicole Cullum, interior designer and founder of Color Caravan also suggests that the timeless nature of farmhouse decor means it’s one that’s here to stay; striking a balance between modern and traditional decor.
‘Any good trend has something timeless to it. Farmhouse decor has stuck around because it speaks to our love of pairing natural textures with modern color trends and palettes. Rustic wood tones mixed with matte blacks, warm neutrals, and crisp whites give a comforting and sophisticated style without going overly modern or too traditional.’
‘I hope the beautiful parts of farmhouse decor, like mixing organic textures with modern color palettes continue in design,’ Nicole says.
Chicago-based interior designer Kate Marker’s advice is to embrace the simplicity and natural beauty of farmhouse decor by focusing on its original details.
‘Farmhouse decor can still be relevant if done in an authentic, repurposed way. Actual farmhouse details that can be installed in a fresh setting lend warmth and interest – think of a farm sink, reclaimed barn wood or beams, or an old steel window. Keeping things rustic and simple so the natural beauty of materials is on display is always a winning way to channel a farmhouse style.’
Kate Marker Interiors, Kate oversees all design projects to ensure they are a reflection of the client while incorporating the KMI aesthetic. Kate’s strengths lie in her endless ideas & inspiration, relentless work ethic, unwavering vision, and great sense of humor, which, lucky for everyone she works with, is infectious.
While interior designers say that farmhouse decor is a timeless look that will most likely continue to be embraced in 2024, the design style can be interpreted in a number of ways, especially in the kitchen. Tom Howley, Creative Design Director at Tom Howley Kitchens explains how you can achieve a farmhouse kitchen, creating a classic and homely feel.
‘Farmhouse interiors are known for their original features – rustic beams, exposed stone walls, weathered floors, and quirky nooks. Kitchens within these idyllic properties are often designed with a focus on comfort, traditionalism, and tactility, making this style an appealing choice for those wanting to create an inviting sanctuary.’
‘Traditional shaker-style cabinetry is perfect for creating a welcoming, lived-in look. The shaker style has universal appeal with beautifully balanced proportions that focus on scale, symmetry, and simplicity. Natural wood is an integral part of farmhouse kitchens, as it adds a sense of warmth and tactility. You can incorporate wood in the form of flooring, stand-alone furniture such as a farmhouse table, shelving, chopping boards, or integrated wooden trays to break up painted cabinetry.’
It’s clear that farmhouse decor is a timeless design style that’s here to stay. Perfect for achieving a home that feels welcoming and laid back, farmhouse decor is all about embracing the original, rustic features and building upon these by decorating with neutrals and adding cozy textiles.
However, to ensure this style doesn’t end up looking dated, consider a more modern farmhouse style that balances the old and new for a fresh take on this core design trend.

‘Tis the season for holiday decor. Getting your home prepped and ready for the festivities is a joy and really, as will any home decor, there’s no right or wrong way to go about it. That being said, if you want your Christmas decor to look beautiful and reflect your personal style and traditions, there are loose rules to be abided. Meaning there are also mistakes to be made.
We asked designers what common Christmas decor mistakes we should all be avoiding this year. From going OOT with new decorations to not sticking to a cohesive theme, here are the holiday decor faux pas best to avoid if you want to create a chic and timeless display.
5 Christmas decorating mistakes
Christmas trends. Just like with interior design trends, you want to be inspired by these styles but don’t let them overcome the looks you really love and that have meaning to you no matter how kitsch they may be. Luckily nostalgia is a designer-approved trend this year anyways.
‘In any given year, my biggest piece of advice is not to feel pressured to do any decorating you don’t love!’ says designer Kathy Kuo. ‘The holiday season can be stressful and the decor aspect is supposed to be fun – if a so-called ‘Christmas decor trend’ is adding to your stress, just say no! If you love simple white twinkle lights in the windows and a few vases of greenery instead of a humongous tree, go for it!’
‘Going over the top with colorful lights can also lead to visual clutter rather than creating a warm, inviting aesthetic that compliments your existing décor. Buying everything new and matching can look contrived or sterile and doesn’t honor the meaning and traditions of the holiday.’
‘Instead, consider taking a trip down memory lane this Christmas. Bring out your grandmother’s china and napkins that have been carefully stored away in the attic. Mix ornaments from your relatives, or things you’ve collected over time or DIY Christmas decorations. Not only does this approach help to honor the past and keep the memories alive, it is also a sustainable choice, utilizing what we already have instead of purchasing new items. This can evoke a sense of nostalgia and create a warm and homey atmosphere that truly embodies the spirit of Christmas.’
Kati Curtis
maximalist holiday decor, there should still be something that ties it all together like a color scheme or a reoccurring pattern.
‘A significant Christmas decorating mistake is deviating from a theme or failing to follow a cohesive decorating plan. Without a guiding theme or plan, decorations might clash or lack a unified vision, resulting in a hodgepodge of styles that just looks messy.’ explains designer Jennifer Davis.
‘Sticking to a specific theme or design scheme helps tie everything together, ensuring a polished and inviting holiday setting that resonates with a consistent style and charm throughout the space.’
4. Not blending faux and real folliage
While there are now so many incredibly realistic faux Christmas garlands, wreaths, and greenery, you can really elevate them by adding in real foliage or dried fruits. This will make and faux greenery look fuller and more convincing. You could ditch the fake evergreen all together and have a go a making your own garland.
Designer Bethany Adams believes it’s going real with your evergreen that ensures the most effective Christmas decor; ‘The wrong faux greenery can be a major faux pas. Instead, reach for dried, real evergreen boughs for your mantle or wreaths. The look is far more luxe, and just as reusable.’

5. Creating too much visual clutter
The whole point in Christmas decor is for it to add something beautiful and visual and creative to your home. But bringing in all this extra decor and Christmas lighting and a full-sized Christmas tree can risk looking cluttered, so to avoid this just ensure you have focal points within your rooms. Nothing should be competing.
So for example in a room where you have the tree, keep the rest of the decor minimal – candles on the mantle, lights at the window but no large pieces of decor that will distract from the main event, and ensure to include some negative space.
‘When diving into Christmas decorating, it’s essential to consider the aspect of proportion, especially concerning height. Neglecting to do this can lead to an unbalanced display where items of varying heights compete for attention. A smart approach involves creating visual interest by varying the heights of decorations while maintaining a sense of cohesion and harmony.’ advises Jennifer Davis.
Avoiding these holiday decor mistakes, while also still following your own traditions and style, will ensure your Christmas decor feels both chic and characterful. Just remember to go with your tried and tested formulas, have something cohesive flowing through the scheme, and don’t go over the top with bringing a load of new decor into your home and really crowding your room. And of course, have fun with it, potentially the biggest mistake you can make is getting so carried away with aesthetics that the once-a-year activity of decorating your home for the holidays becomes a stress, rather than a joy.

Sustainability has been a buzz word in the home décor industry for years, but the types of eco-friendly practices and products that consumers gravitate towards change often. According to a 2023 study by NielsenIQ, 78 percent of U.S. consumers say that a sustainable lifestyle is important to them, and in a survey from digital supply chain company Blue Yonder, 69 percent of respondents said they would pay more for sustainable products. But, even though they are seeking out those sustainable products and brands, after so many years of pursuing “greener pastures” consumers have wised up to many of the greenwashing practices that have permeated the industry and marketing tactics.
Now, customers are doing their research before they align their dollars with sustainable and eco-friendly brands and products, and that means retailers need to do the same in 2024.
Authenticity First
Before carrying any eco-friendly products and brands, retailers should invest time into researching them just like their customers. Terms like green, eco-friendly, all-natural, earth-friendly, plant derived, organic — but not organic certified — and non-toxic can be used by manufacturers without meeting any legally required testing or standards.
Retailers should look for third-party certifications — examples include Fair Trade certified, Environmental Working Group Verified, B-Corp, Made Safe and Cradle to Cradle certifications— to be sure they are picking vetted products that meet basic industry standards for those labels. Transparency also goes along way when vetting new products and brands. Consumers gravitate towards brands that feel like they have nothing to hide, so brands that are willing to share their sustainability goals, production processes, and waste and recycling statistics, will continue to resonate with them in 2024.
Material World
Following the rise of biophilic design — or design trends that prioritize connections with nature — green home décor trends in 2024 will be founded on their materials. Sustainable natural materials like bamboo, cork, coconut, straw, cob and natural fabrics like hemp, wool and jute will be more popular because of their renewability, natural origins and — in some cases —recyclability over materials like resin and synthetic fibers. Real woods and stones will be less popular in this category because they are perceived as less renewable and/or recyclable. Carrying products made with recycled metals, plastics and other materials will be key in attracting eco-conscious consumers who want the look of synthetic materials like plastic. Repurposed objects — think newspapers, license plates, fabric scraps, discarded books, and deadstock wallpaper, carpeting, paint and fabric — will also make a big impact.

Moving home is such an exciting time. I am a bit of a moving addict actually, it comes with the territory of being a serial renter. I would get so excited about starting over with my interior design style, choosing new sheets, picking out new prints, and deciding what style of rug would suit my new place best.
And after years of moving, I have worked out what pieces are the most important. I have noticed what pieces come with from home to home, and what’s made it out of the rentals and finally into my own space with me.
interior trends, so it can be tricky investing in pieces for a new home that will stand the test of time. But as both a pro home mover and the Head of Design at Homes & Gardens, I feel equipped enough to share with you the new house decor buys I have never regretted buying. And yes, they are purely aesthetical decor, and of course, you want to be making practical investments like the best mattress, and good quality kitchen appliances too, but I think investing in decor is equally important when shopping for a new home.
What to buy for a new home
Moving into a new home can be a stressful time, so I do think it’s important to allow yourself to get a bit excited about investing in new timeless pieces and treating yourself to decor that’s going to instantly elevate your home and make the new space feel more like you.
Some of these buys are ones I think have longevity and will stay with you move after move, but I’ve also pieces I think are key to making a house feel like a home and for me are the first things I pull out of the boxes when I get to a new space.
West Elm Jute Boucle Rug
Anthropologie Gleaming Primrose Mirror
Case in point, the Anthropologie Gleaming Primrose Mirror. It lived leaning up against a wall in one of my apartments and it still worked.
Pom Pom At Home Chatham Cotton Matelasse Coverlet
I like that this set as it has a subtle texture to it, it adds interest without the need for color or a bold pattern. It would love wonderful layering up with both soft neutrals and brighter colors depending on the look you want to achieve.
Amber Lewis for Anthropologie Marana Table Lamp
CB2 White Picture Frame
Anthropologie Glenna Platter
A Table Full of Love by Sky McApline
Crate and Barrel Edge Drink Glasses
Diptyque Feu de Bois Candle
Diptyque candles instantly elevate a space, and when moving I always unpack them pretty quickly and dot them around surfaces to make the chaos feel slightly calmer and more sophisticated. Diptyque’s ‘Feu de Bois’ is ideal for this time of year, smokey and woodsy and delicious.
So there is my list of new home buys I think are essential. A mix of both investment pieces that every new home should have, and small items that you should treat yourself to to instantly make your space feel more like home. I will say when moving into a new home, do spend a bit of time in the space before buying anything new, the pieces I don’t regret buying are ones I have mulled over, or have had a vision that I know I will love for years to come, not just panic bought because something is on trend or because I am desperate to fill a blank space.

Bright, airy, all-white spaces have certainly had their moment in the sun, but as summer creeps toward fall, we’re noticing design trends take a darker turn. Just take Behr Paint Company’s pick for color of the year: a soft, sophisticated shade of black called Cracked Pepper. They’ve got the data to back up this pick, too. According to the press release, more than half of Americans say black tones give a home fresh energy and an updated vibe.
It’s not hard to see why this dark color is poised to overtake its brighter alternatives as the neutral du jour. Black has the same timeless, goes-with-anything appeal as lighter neutrals like white or beige—but without any of the danger of looking bland or boring. It’s sleek, dramatic, and a sure-fire way to punch up any color scheme.
Painting your walls jet-black is one way to try out this trend, of course. But if you’re not quite ready to dive in headfirst, these black home decor picks will help you dip your toes into darker waters:

Whether you’re decorating your first dorm room or giving your home a style overhaul, one of our most surprising sources for statement pieces is Urban Outfitters. From bohemian-chic rattan furniture and artful storage pieces to minimalist shelving and charming bathroom essentials, the retailer is home to some of the coolest finds for every type of interior design style.
Some of the top design trends of 2023 are also the most enduring ones. Sustainability continues to be top of mind, as natural and eco-conscious materials continue to be favored choices. We can also thank Succession for ushering in the “quiet luxury” trend, an understated high-end aesthetic spilling out of fashion wardrobes and into the rest of the home: think cozy textiles and upholstery made from plush fabrics. On the flip side, surrealist shapes and playing with scale will be on the rise as people go for Schiaparelli-esque interior style over minimalism.
Ultimately, consider designing around your own personality and lifestyle, regardless of whether or not something fits a trend. As one study recently found, homeowners are decorating their homes with “professionalization,” not “personalization,” in mind — so whether you love a lived-in look, or feel more at home in a ‘grammable hotel-like space, we suggest going with items that spark joy.
With all of that in mind, we’re sharing our favorite furniture and home decor to shop from Urban Outfitters. Whether your vibe is bohemian or modern, see 10 of our top picks for a range of styles, including some pieces on sale for up to 30 percent off.

I’m sure you already know and love Rue Magazine, as we pretty much all do, but have you heard the news?! This week Rue launched a whole new website, Rue Daily. The gorgeous digest will be your new go-to for lifestyle and design inspiration, filling the gap as you eagerly await the next issue.
Just like the magazine, Rue Daily touches on more than just interiors. The site extends Rue’s approachable take on designing a beautiful life, featuring everything from home tours and design trends to fashion, entertaining and beauty.
Here’s an exclusive sneak peek of one of their new columns, that just so happens to fit perfectly into today’s art-focused theme! I’m loving the Professor Rue feature.
This example focuses on getting design inspiration from the work of Matisse, but Rue is giving us insight into everything, from the birth of the LBD, to the history of wall coverings. I call it perfect did-you-know fodder. Cool right?
Rue Daily is going to be the perfect place to get fresh ideas and useful tips to reflect your personal style in everything you do. Because that’s what living a styled, a.k.a intentional, life is all about: making choices for yourself rather than having them made for you.
I don’t know about you, but I’m already hooked. With brand new stories being published to Rue Daily, well, daily(!), it’s going straight to the top of my must-read list. I hope you check it out too.
Congrats Rue on a job very well done!!
