Back-to-school 2023 decorating trends: minimalism vs maximalism
This school year again, we will have to take into account the Cottagecore trend, which remains one of the flagship decoration trends on social networks.
This style revisits the country house spirit in a vintage and slightly idealized version. On the program: warm wood, porcelain and ceramics that we make sure to display in the kitchen, or even embroidered sheets in the bedroom. With a predilection for vintage pieces!
With fall in our sights, it may be tempting to extend the summer season. Good news: the Riviera spirit is one of the big trends for the fall. To adopt it, we fall for a sunny palette combining yellow, orange, blue and white. The key subject? Rattan, of course! And on the pattern side, we navigate between “shellfish and crustaceans” atmosphere, stripes and Arty inspiration.
This back-to-school season, the bohemian interior is taking on color. We focus on the Gypsy spirit by daring vibrant colors and opulent patterns and embroidery.
The retro spirit is more relevant than ever. And although the 1970s remain our favorite source of inspiration, we also unabashedly eye the 1980s.
You will have understood: this fall, the maximalist spirit is in the spotlight. But let’s make no mistake… the minimalist trend is far from having said its last word! To adopt it, we rely on so-called “nude” colors such as sand or pinkish beige. To bring a little relief to the decor, think about the checkerboard decor, essential this season.
In the wake of the minimalist spirit, this season we are witnessing the return of the Japandi spirit and the Scandicraft spirit.
If we always like interiors that give pride of place to simplicity, we love very natural atmospheres. For the start of the school year, we are focusing more than ever on organic decoration.
Among the decoration trends that are setting social networks alight this fall: the hashtag #gothichome, which follows the dark academia spirit.
Kesako? A dark decor that draws inspiration from both the neo-baroque look and the world of witchcraft. Velvet curtains, candelabras, dark colors and golden frames: we will stop at nothing to dramatize our interior.
Back-to-school 2023 decorating trends: the materials and colors that lead the way
Whether you choose an assertive maximalist atmosphere or refined minimalism, this season there is a palette of materials and colors with which you will have to reckon.
The undisputed star of our interiors is wood. Black, golden or flamboyant wood: we strive to choose refined species.
And above all, we love “wood art” – in other words, for crafted pieces. The must have of the season? Wooden wall decoration.
From the Riviera interior to the Japandi trend and the Gypsy atmosphere, it’s impossible to ignore rattan – for decoration as well as for furniture. Canework also remains a safe bet. One material tends to compete with it: raffia, which is used in decorative pieces such as table lamps.
For the start of the school year, we dare without hesitation to add a touch of golden brass which enhances all decorations.
Driven by the Seventies trend, new generation plastic furniture remains very current. However, the iconic chrome parts of the early 80s are not far from taking over. They are associated with tempered or colored glass, but also with wood.
Green is establishing itself as THE flagship color of the back-to-school season, particularly in the living room. And if you are wondering what color to combine your green sofa with, you will soon come across yellow. Unsurprisingly, this shade is also one of the colors to be reckoned with for the start of the school year!
As for blue, we favor shades of character: Klein blue or duck blue, for example.
White, beige or ecru color remain essential. And to give them a little depth, we rely on the brown palette, adopting gourmet shades: caramel or chocolate brown.
This season, warm colors are also in the spotlight. We love deep, sophisticated shades, like wine color, burnt red or a powdery shade of old rose.
To enhance the colors of the season, we dare to use eggplant, which gives them a touch of sophistication.
