INTERIOR TRENDS I AM LOVING RIGHT NOW
In a world where economic uncertainty and personal burn out is around every corner, the desire to escape to our homes is more of a necessity than ever before. Designing our spaces with purpose like never before. It feels as though we have reflected this in our interior desires this year. Blending the modern with the nostalgic safety of the traditional, bringing natural and organic elements into the home seem to leave us more grounded. Plus, personally, I am still such a huge fan of anything Mediterranian, I still love an arch and let’s be honest - coastal vibes aren’t going anywhere where we live. Here are a few of my faves.

Organic Forms
Decor trends seem to move more and more towards the use of natural materials such as glass, timbers, pottery and my personal favourite, plaster - extending out of the architectural into forms such as light fixtures. Personally it is the fluidity and lack of uniformity that makes me feel a sense of ‘wabi-sabi’ that I think everyone needs in their lives right now. That sense of embracing the perfectly imprerfect. And even outside of decor, elements such as large windows to bring in more natural light give further proof of our need to feel more a part of nature, feel more grounded. I could just imagine creations like Zhu Ohmu’s below, sitting in the corner of a living room in Trigg.
Neoclassical Design
This trend reminds me of a house in Karrinyup I’ve seen recently. It blended modern minimalism with traditional Italian style mouldings and cornices. Neoclassical can be styles like herringbone floors and gilded mirrors. It’s clean white walls, blended with antique furniture. It’s adding character without totally retro theming the space. It’s subtle and really lends itself to the blended renovations that we are seeing through areas like Karrinyup and Carine.
Woods and Earthy Tones
Warm timber tones, with natural finishes that really highlight the grain lines are bringing a more rustic feel to traditional timber uses in the household, adding depth and character to areas like the kitchen. The natural grounding brings a balance to the bright and white colour palettes that we are all so drawn too. The introduction of more terracotta, mauve, rust and sage tones to our spaces is also adding warmth in a way that again, draws on nature - evoking that calmness we are all craving so much in 2023.
Mediterranean Coastal
What would a Trigg home be without the coastal vibes. And the Mediterranean trend looks like it’s here to stay. The combination of the beautiful natural textures, arches, lots of natural light and the bright, lighter colour palette screams the west coast.
