As we head into Spring 2023, there are several interior design trends that are taking the living room world by storm. From the use of natural materials to bold color choices, here are some of the top living room trends for right now:
Velvets and Pastels

From plush velvets, silk to embroidered blinds, light coloured glass and heavy steel ironmongery. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different patterns and materials to create a unique and eclectic space.
From experience as an interior designer for many years and taking into considering the current economic situation. I believe that a screen at the entrance of your home can be a great solution to provide privacy and security from random callers, strangers, multiple delivery drivers and postmen accessing view to your home. Screens are very versatile and can serve as both functional and decorative elements in your interior design.
From a functional perspective, a screen can be an effective way to block the view of your home from anyone standing at your entrance. This can be especially important if you have large windows or glass doors that make it easy for outsiders to see inside. With a screen in place, you can create a sense of separation between your entrance and the rest of your home, providing a greater sense of privacy and security.
In addition to providing privacy and security, a screen can also be a stylish and decorative element in your interior design. Screens come in a variety of styles and materials, from sleek modern designs to more traditional wooden screens with intricate carvings. e cater to a wide range of clients and privacy needs and pride ourselves as expertise in this field. By selecting a screen that complements your existing decor, religious and privacy needs you can create a cohesive and stylish look in your home.
Additionally, consider the style, size and material of the screen to ensure that it complements your existing decor and enhances the overall aesthetic of your space.
Bold Colours
While neutrals have long been a staple in interior design, bold accents and vibrant colour spills of furniture and accessory accents are becoming increasingly popular in living room spaces. From bright yellow accent walls and window dressings to deep navy to electric blue sofas, incorporating bold colors can add a sense of energy and excitement to your living room.
Texture
Texture is a key element in living room design right now, with designers opting for plush, tactile fabrics and materials. From velvet sofas to shaggy rugs, incorporating texture can add depth and interest to your space.
Minimalism
While maximalist designs have been popular in recent years, there is a growing trend toward minimalism in living room design. Streamlined furniture, clean lines, and a focus on simplicity can create a serene and calming living room. (Ny apartment)

Lighting is a crucial element in living room design, and statement lighting and multi-level fixtures can add a sense of drama and visual interest to your space. Consider incorporating a sculptural floor lamp, a large chandelier, or a series of unique pendant lights to make a statement.
