Wildfire preparedness isn’t just for homeowners who live in the woods. Homes in rural areas, suburbs, and cities can all be vulnerable to wildfire—particularly from wind-blown embers

A new year brings with it new home interior design trends, and 2023 is no different. When I started to research some of this year's trends I found that some made complete sense, while others I am not too sure of. So without further ado here are a few of this year’s interior design trends according to Decorilla:
FOCUS ON WELLNESS
This trend makes complete sense to me since we’ve spent a lot of time indoors the past few years. This trend focuses specifically on creating spaces that help you slow down and practice being mindful.
ART DECO
Blasts from the past were big on Decorilla’s list and one trend was art deco, which I’m not mad about because I love art deco. The fun of art deco is the fun geometric patterns, bright colors and symmetry.
DESIGNER LAUNDRY & MUDROOMS
Again, this is a trend that makes sense to me as well. Maybe it’s because I’m the one that does quite a bit of the laundry in our home, and laundry seems to be that one task that most people do not enjoy. Having a space that feels nice can help make the task a little less annoying.
MAXIMIZING NATURAL LIGHT
Natural light is so important so I’m really happy to see this as a trend for 2023. I grew up in Southern Oregon in a town that got 300 days of sunshine a year. When I moved to the metro area the grey dreary days have really affected my sleep patterns, mood and focus. Plus Vitamin D is good for us.
Since I’m stopping my recap list here you are probably thinking that cannot be all, and it isn’t. However if I were to recap all of the trends you would be reading for forever or you’d just say nope I’m done. Be sure to check out Decorilla’s site to see all of the trends that they discuss.
Out of these four though which is your favorite?
