If you’re looking for what interior design trends are coming into fashion, and are eager to get started on your 2023 preparation, then let us help you!
We’re going to delve into which interior design trends and colourways will be the biggest of the year, and will hopefully even give you a little inspiration on how to incorporate them into your own interior style. We’ll also look at which flooring is suited to each trend, and how we can provide what you need!
Let’s get into it…
Biophilic Design
Continuing onward from late 2022, biophilic design is one of the big home décor trends of 2023. Biophilia comes from a human’s nature to want to live closely with other forms of nature and life.
It revolves around translating natural elements into the design of a room, to improve health and wellbeing. To read more about how it impacts both your physical and mental health, read here!
If you want to get the look of a natural wooded floor, but don’t want to splash so much cash, then you can definitely look into options like vinyl. Our Softstep vinyl ranges give a varying number of tiled, wood and patterned effects, to match whatever design scheme you have.
Whether you want a clean, polished cement effect floor, or wood, we have something for everyone. Take a look at our Brazil range, offering a natural, rustic wood design, or a tiled polished effect.

However, if you want to incorporate a more natural flooring to merge with your biophilic influence, but don’t want to skip out on your comfort, there are more natural materials that you can consider.
When it comes to flooring, you cannot be out of trend with an eco-friendly, naturally made wool carpet. Besides its rich texture and undeniable durability, wool has many other wellbeing properties.

In line with biophilic design, wool is environmentally friendly, and gives value to interior design whilst promoting the use of sustainable products. It makes a huge difference; both for your interior design and the environment.
An increasing amount of scientific research suggests that people are more productive, creative, happy and healthy when they experience a daily connection with nature, and are interconnected with natural systems.
Biophilic design is generally categorised by its incorporation of living plants and natural colour schemes. Our wool ranges are home to a varying array of muted, neutral colours that pair perfectly with any kind of biophilic atmosphere.
Maximalism
Maximalism has been on the rise all throughout 2022, and isn’t going to stop here. Maximalism is an interior design trend that continues to grow into the new year, completely rejecting the prior obsession with minimalism.
Although maximalism doesn’t have a true definition, its core elements are: abundant pattern, colour, and texture. “The key to maximalism is that there really are no rules – it celebrates a freedom of self-expression and the joy of an interior filled with colour, pattern, and life,” explains Frieda Gormley of House of Hackney, a British design house with a showroom in New York
In the world of flooring, we are seeing a trend for people being bold with coloured carpet. They no longer shy away from making a statement and embrace new, modern interior design trends.
This trend is the perfect way to make a statement and create a space that is truly unique. If you’re not afraid of making a bold statement, then maximalism is definitely the trend for you!

Return To Monochrome
Monochromatic interiors have been in vogue for quite some time and it looks like the trend is here to stay; But you might end up asking yourself, ‘What does monochromatic even mean?’
A lot of the time, when people think about a ‘monochrome’ colour scheme, it’s recognised to be a mix of black and white. However, fully exploring this trend will prove that there’s a huge, diverse range of possibilities. Monochrome instead means ‘one colour’, and you can play around with whatever colour you may choose!

By rightly implementing a monochromatic look, you will achieve an interior space that is filled with an eclectic charm while staying in the realm of minimalism. Using mainly one colour also gives you a great chance to play around with shades, textures and lighting options,
Our Stainfree ranges have a wide variety of natural, complimentary tones to work around whichever colour you choose to decorate with, and to tie your spaces together.
For ease of access, why don’t you use the Colour Filter on our website? It’s perfect for you to find and work through all of your available options and see the diverse range of products we have available!
Back To The Future
The dazzling ‘70s with marvellous forms and sensational colours is back on the stage! Bold statements and flamboyant colour play a major part of this trend.
The 70’s has made a comeback under the ‘Retro’ name, and has been a huge hit. Using maximalist elements to bring together a brighter, warmer atmosphere with comfort at heart, you can never go wrong.

Statement furniture alongside neutral flooring makes the colours pop! Take a look at our Stainfree Caress in Old Gold, a stunning use of deep, contrasting colours to make the space exciting.
Since 2023 is about unusual and mind-blowing design solutions, don’t hesitate to be among the first to bring the concept of bold authenticity into your interior.
Colour Trends:
Earthy Colours
Anything between calming beige and warm brown works! The aim of this trend is to replicate the simplicity and serenity of the outdoors, linking back to the aforementioned biophilic trend!
Such colour choices connect you with nature, harmonize the design, and provide the desired sense of tranquillity and balance that we all strive for.
Nature has always been a reliable source of inspiration, and choosing the flooring based on this concept will keep you on the safe side.

We’re firm believers in prioritising comfort, and with our Stainfree Indulgence, you can do just that. With a range of soft, natural colours, and one of our highest togs, you can live stylishly and comfortably.
Abstract Prints
The new carpet trend with wild patterns can be visualized through abstract prints. Literally, any design you want with any colour combination that appeals to you; the bolder, the better!
You should not be afraid to play with rich colour schemes and unusual patterns. This is what makes the carpet authentic, and as it appears to be, originality is in demand this season.
Utilising prints and patterns can seem much more ambitious than it is – a patterned carpet can sometimes feel like a big step, but styling it is much easier than it may seem!

It’s easy to become overwhelmed with patterns and the seemingly infinite options that are there, so it’s important to set a few ground rules:
- Use simple and complex patterns – if you’re using an intricate pattern throughout your styling, counter it with a simple, more spaced out pattern.
- Match, don’t mix – it’s important to find the balance between too much and too little; having pattern everywhere can be overwhelming, but having a solitary pattern can be isolating and stick out.
- Choose a palette – Tying your interior design plan together with a common colour palette is crucial to ensure that everything ties together in the end.
With the help of these rules, you can begin to use patterns and prints in a way that is harmonious throughout your home, and compliments your surroundings. We have a fantastic range of patterned carpets in our Stainfree Wilton range, that fit into any home.
