Colour trends for 2023 are mainly rich and warm neutral hues
Rich and warm neutral hues have been popular in recent years due to their versatility and ability to create a sense of comfort and warmth in living spaces. These colours are often associated with nature and earthy tones, which can help to create a calming and grounding effect in interior design.
Additionally, neutral colours such as beige, taupe, and gray can serve as a backdrop for more bold and expressive accents and accessories, allowing for greater flexibility in decor choices. Rich, warm tones like rust, mustard, and terracotta can also add depth and interest to a room without overwhelming the space.
