Here are 9 design trends we’re currently loving from Mytour Home's 2023 collection.

What happens when you gather a group of renowned designers to furnish a home from top to bottom? The result is a space bursting with the latest design trends, of course! For this year's Mytour Home, we collaborated with six talented tastemakers who truly outdid themselves. Each room is filled with creative decorating ideas and trend-forward elements. We’ve highlighted recurring themes across the spaces, as well as standout examples that reflect the trends we’re observing in the design world. Thankfully, many of these trends are simple to incorporate, and they have staying power, so you won't need to replace anything in just a few months. Keep reading to discover the top trends that are shaping the design world right now.

Wicker and Caning

Natural materials like wicker and caning have been on the rise for the past year or two, and now we're witnessing this trend in full force. We counted at least five instances of this design element throughout the home, from dining area and kitchen chairs to cabinets in the living room and study. The most notable application we’re seeing across spaces is wicker lighting, featured prominently in the study and guest room. According to many designers, it's a great way to add warmth and texture to any room.

When asked why Kim and Scott Vargo of Yellow Brick Home decided to incorporate cane chairs into their dining room, they shared, “Our whole goal was to bring the outdoors inside! Brooklyn is a bustling urban setting, but the building’s height offers a unique view of the treetops. We selected cane-backed chairs to introduce a natural element that harmonizes with the earthy green and rust tones in the room.” Michelle Gage, who designed the study, adds, “Rattan lightens up the space, and we always strive to keep our spaces feeling fresh and youthful.” Guest room designer Megan Hopp has a soft spot for vintage wicker, so if you're on a budget, you're in luck—garage sales often have plenty of it.

Monochromatic Lamps

Lamps in a single, vibrant color are becoming more popular—there were even two in the Mytour Home! One monochromatic lamp is featured in the guest room, designed by Megan Hopp, and another is found in the living room. Megan’s choice of cobalt blue against the patterned wallpaper is striking without being overwhelming, thanks to the simplicity of a single color. It’s a smart way to make a bold statement without going too far, which is ideal for anyone who prefers subtlety in their design.

'70s Style

The 1970s influence is evident throughout the house, but it truly shines in the primary bedroom designed by David Quarles IV. The most prominent tribute to the decade is the disco ball, which is one of David’s signature design elements. He shares, “I think every room deserves a disco ball! Disco balls are synonymous with dancing, good times, and endless laughter. My goal is to spread a sense of happiness in the spaces I create.” The color palette—greens, orange-reds, browns, and blues—also evokes the '70s and, according to David, enhances the warmth he aims to create in the room.

Another iconic touch? The part-shag rug. The clever use of shag patches adds a unique flair. Instead of a full shag rug, which might feel overwhelming, the strategic distribution of the fibers creates an interesting yet subtle twist. “In a space filled with color, pattern, texture, and emotion, I like to incorporate visual ‘breaks’ to allow people to fully appreciate the space’s opulence without feeling overstimulated. The rug from Dyphor was perfect for this, as it offers just the right balance of visual and tactile texture, without competing with the intricate details throughout the room.”

Canopy Beds

This '90s trend, which may have been a staple in your childhood bedroom, is making a return to mainstream design. We first noticed it on social media, but when Megan Hopp incorporated one into her guest room, it solidified our belief that canopy beds are making a strong comeback. Megan’s rationale for choosing one aligns perfectly with her 'fewer, bigger things' approach. She explains, 'I wanted to center the design around a large bed as the focal point. A canopy bed does wonders to add height, depth, and architectural presence to a room—all through a straightforward setup. I love this modern Room & Board bed because it’s highly customizable, with bold color choices available.'

She incorporated beautiful custom drapery from Pepper Home, which brings a sense of tranquility and calm to the room. (It truly makes the bed feel like a cocoon!) Regarding her curtain selection, she shares, 'I wanted to choose a playful, whimsical pattern with a more neutral background color to balance all the vibrant colors around it. I love classic block prints, and the Penelope curtain felt like the ideal modern touch for the space and design.'

Painted Trim, Doors, and Ceilings in Bold Colors

Think of painting the whole town… in color, any color. Vibrant hues are no longer reserved for just the walls—they’re now making their way onto trims, doors, ceilings, and beyond. Increasingly, we’re seeing a departure from white for these details, and we couldn’t be more excited. Four designers in the Mytour Home embraced bold paints throughout their spaces. Michelle Gage, who designed the office, chose to cover the trim and doors in a deep, rich eggplant hue—Valspar’s Plummy Rouge—to complement the floral wallpaper. 'We’ve really been loving this purple shade lately. In the past, we might have paired the trim with contrasting blue or pink from the flowers, but we wanted something more unexpected, so we went with purple. It allowed us to bring in pinks and blues elsewhere in the room, like the rug and accent chair,' she explains.

Megan Hopp, who applied this technique in the guest room as well, opted for satin paint. 'It's my go-to choice for most projects because of its durability and sophisticated finish.'

Rusty Colors

Several rooms in the Mytour Home feature touches of rust-colored tones—the dining room, living room, and bedroom—showing that this warm reddish hue is becoming more popular. Bobby Berk incorporated it into the living room he designed, sharing, 'I absolutely love that earthy rust color! It’s such a deep, rich shade with so much character. It was the ideal color to pair with the deep indigo rug and really balanced the other warm hues from the sling chairs and yellow screen.'

Natural Stone

Materials like marble, soapstone, and even the once-maligned travertine are now enjoying a renaissance beyond the kitchen and bathroom. While these stones have long been appreciated in those spaces, incorporating them into the rest of the home through smaller furniture pieces and decorative accents adds a touch of luxury—without the hefty price tag of a waterfall countertop. Stone materials, such as marble, offer a clean, simple sophistication and work well to balance out spaces that feature plenty of soft textures and intricate patterns.

Fluted Furniture

One simple way to introduce more texture into a room is through fluted furniture. These ridged pieces are gaining popularity for this very reason, and variations of this trend can be seen in several rooms of the Mytour Home, including desks, nightstands, and consoles. However, the ridges can accumulate dust quickly, so make sure to dust regularly to maintain their pristine look.

Gallery Walls With Large-Scale Art

Gallery walls have been around for a while, but what’s becoming more popular is dedicating large sections of the wall to just a few oversized art pieces rather than scattering smaller ones. We love how Bobby Berk implemented this in the living room he designed. It's simpler to curate and hang—just a few pieces! Here, he mixed different sizes, but we’ve also seen another method where an entire wall is filled with four or six equal-sized frames for added impact.
