If inflation has reduced your decorating budget for the time being, several interior design experts have some good news for you.

Several design trends that are forecast for 2023 enable you to retain much of what you already have, or to "upcycle" bargain-priced items.

Move the Outdoors Indoors
If you brought more plants and greenery inside your home during COVID lockdowns, you're already off to a good start for 2023. Principal Designer Amy Youngblood doesn't see the biophilic trend - bringing elements of nature indoors - going away any time soon.

"The theme of incorporating nature in interior elements will continue to be prevalent," she says. "We will be seeing colors inspired by nature, like softer greens and blues that are calming and pleasing to the eye."

Moving the outdoors indoors can go much further than live plants. Unpainted wood is playing a major part, from natural wood tables to large tree stumps used as end tables.

Decorate to De-Clutter
Organization has been around for quite a while, with television shows like HGTV's Hot Mess House showing us how to organize every room in our homes.

Many professional decorators see this trend continuing well into 2023, including design expert Gina Kirk. "We're seeing a lot less desire for open shelving—that was a very big trend for a really long time—and glass front doors. We're seeing customers who want to close things up and organize them well."

Old Things Become New
Upcycling is another 2023 trend that became popular years ago, especially with budding DIYers. "Upcoming trends are really inspired by special memories or maybe heirlooms from families, and upcycling is a growing trend right now," Kirk notes. But they're not necessarily enhancing or embellishing on old pieces."

Finding materials for upsizing can be as simple as attending weekend yard sales. If you're looking for a specific or high-value item, furniture consignment stores are becoming more popular, especially in bigger cities. Refinishing these items can be as simple as stripping off any paint, then finishing your work with clear or colored furniture wax or lacquer.
