Decor Trends for a Stylish Home

Part of the fun of working in the real estate industry is seeing a lot of inspiring and interesting décor choices!

Trends in décor are the result of what is going on around us, creative and beautiful solutions to what is happening in our lives and how we want to live. You should always use what you do love in your home’s décor, not what you think you should love.

When we speak of trends, we are not referring to trendy “fads” that don’t have legs. The important trends are classic and timeless. “Fads” should be used sparingly and just for fun in accessories and surfaces that can be easily changed with little expense.

Many of the décor trends for 2023 are classics that have recently become more prominent:
