2023 interior design trends are making slight shifts while bringing us looks we already loved. Interior design trends 2023 are accentuating quality over quantity, embracing raw materials and serene earth tones, and putting an emphasis on your home feeling like a sanctuary from all things stressful.

1: Earth Tones

Incorporating earth tones isn’t new to 2023, but what’s clear is that they certainly aren’t out in 2023 either. Interior design trends throughout the last couple years saw an explicit focus on creating a sanctuary in your home if you had to be cooped up in it 24/7. This surge in opting for serene colors, calming patterns, and embracing that less can be more continues into 2023.

One of our favorite ways to honor this school of thought is by utilizing earth tones in your window treatments as well as utilizing natural materials and fibers to bring the feel of nature to your interior. For this trend, we love recommending our woven wood shades and wood blinds. You’ll find a plethora of earth tones and natural materials and fibers to choose from that bring the serenity of nature inside your home.

2: Industrial Chic

Industrial chic design puts a focus on raw materials and minimal fluff. A common feature of industrial chic interior design are accents like concrete floors, minimal decor, and an emphasis on furniture that accentuates shape and structure. In window treatments, our favorite way to honor this interior design trend is with metallic window treatments, such as our metal blinds. Their durability, simplicity, and structure lend extremely well to industrial design. Another trend that’s in for 2023? Embracing silver and steel as the metals of choice over golds and brasses. Fortunately, our Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals Mini Blinds come in a wide variety of metallic colors and finishes to match whatever design aesthetic you’re seeking.

3: Pattern Consistency

Many folks are afraid of window treatments that are patterned – oftentimes, people think they look too busy or are generally the antithesis of serene. However, many designers are opting for a monochromatic approach to room design: pick your pattern and stick with it. From wallpaper to custom drapery, window treatments, and even accent pillows, choosing one pattern and creating a room that matches this pattern has a surprisingly serene effect. Instead of feeling busy or chaotic, it feels serene, peaceful, and even calming. This is an incredibly fun way to add color or pattern to your room without overdoing it.

Our favorite way to incorporate pattern consistency in your room is by double-dipping window treatments. One of the best parts of working with North County Blinds is that we can custom design drapery and a base window covering in one of our many gorgeous Hunter Douglas Design Studio patterns. We work with a curated (but incredibly vast) selection of patterns and colors, many of which are collaborations with notable artists from around the world.

If this design style intrigues you, consider pairing our Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades with custom drapery in the same pattern. You’ll be able to choose from hundreds of colors and patterns to suit your exact vision for your room. Plus, with our Accents By the Yard® program, order additional fabric for accents like throw pillows and more!

4: Sustainable Design

Sustainably is a movement across the board for all the things we consume from fashion to food, and yes, even home decor. The days of fast furniture are long gone. We want pieces that will suit our interior needs for a lifetime, not a cheap couch that breaks in a few months and gets thrown to the curb.

One of the best parts of opting for Hunter Douglas window treatments is the quality. North County Blinds is proud to be a Hunter Douglas dealer because we know you need window treatments that will give your home the durability and quality you deserve! Sure, you can buy the cheapy-cheap stuff, but if you have to replace it within a year, why even bother?

One of our favorite sustainable window treatments is our Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades that utilize GreenScreen Sea-Tex Fabrics. This fabric is sustainably made from marine and coastal plastic that’s been retrieved and recycled into durable fabric. There are 67 different options in this screen shade iteration.

5: Embracing Technology

Smart home devices aren’t new in 2023, but they’re being used now more than ever. With affordable options from a number of tech brands that can all be integrated into one main system, they add ease, convenience, and better security to your home.

Hunter Douglas read the room and innovated their already ground-breaking home automation for your windows: PowerView® Automation. Available on a huge variety of window treatments, PowerView® Automation allows you to control your window treatment via smartphone app, Pebble® remote, or voice command (when it’s integrated with your existing smart home system). From scheduling your shades to open and close to providing enhanced security when you’re not home, you’ll be left wondering why you didn’t add PowerView® to your window treatments sooner.

And in terms of sustainable design, PowerView® Automation serves an added purpose: you can program the shades to open and close depending on the interior temperature to further optimize your energy consumption and help save money on utilities.
