Decorex is one of the most anticipated events in the interior design world, offering designers, architects, and homeowners a glimpse into the latest trends in home decor. Taking place at the CTICC from 22 – 25 June, the designers and exhibitors at this year’s Decorex have presented an exciting range of interior design trends that are sure to inspire and delight. Here are some of the key trends to look out for in the coming months.

BIOPHILIC DESIGN

Biophilic design is a trend that has been gaining momentum in recent years, and it’s set to be a major focus at this year’s Decorex. Biophilic design is all about bringing nature indoors, creating spaces that connect people with the natural world. This trend is all about using natural materials, colors, and patterns to create a calm and relaxing environment. Think natural wood finishes, stone accents, and plants in every room of the house.

BOLD COLOURS AND PATTERNS

If you’re looking for a way to make a statement in your home, then bold colors and patterns are the way to go. This trend is all about using bright, bold colors and patterns to create a vibrant and exciting space. Think large-scale prints, bright color blocking, and bold geometric patterns. This trend is perfect for anyone who wants to inject a little energy and excitement into their home.

SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

Sustainability is a trend that has been gaining momentum in all areas of design, and interior design is no exception. The Decorex team has highlighted the use of sustainable materials as a key trend for this year. From reclaimed wood to recycled fabrics, using sustainable materials is a great way to create an eco-friendly and stylish home. This trend is all about reducing waste and making the most of what we have.

VINTAGE AND RETRO STYLE

Vintage and retro style is a trend that never seems to go out of fashion, and this year it’s back in a big way. This trend is all about using vintage and retro-inspired pieces to create a warm and inviting space. Think mid-century modern furniture, antique accessories, and vintage-inspired lighting. This trend is perfect for anyone who wants to create a home that feels cozy and inviting.

MIXED METALS

Gone are the days when you had to choose between gold, silver, or bronze. This year’s Decorex team has highlighted the use of mixed metals as a key trend for 2023. Mixing different metals, such as brass, copper, and steel, is a great way to add texture and depth to your home decor. This trend is all about experimenting with different finishes and finding the perfect combination for your space.

Overall, this year’s Decorex has presented an exciting range of interior design trends that are sure to inspire and excite. Whether you’re a designer, architect, or homeowner, there’s something for everyone at this year’s event. From biophilic design to mixed metals, these trends offer a wide range of possibilities for creating a beautiful and stylish home.

There will be a host of special features at Decorex, 100% Design and Design Cape Town, including curated exhibitions, eateries, a bar, Samsung Bespoke Cooking Theatre and product launches. Always one of the event’s main drawcards, Future of Design Studio has a stellar line-up of SA’s most respected design authorities who will deliver talks and participate in panel discussions on some of the most compelling issues currently facing the design industry.
