As we move into 2023, the trends for home decor continue to evolve. One of the most important elements of any home decor scheme is colour. The right colours can make a space feel warm and inviting, while the wrong colours can make it feel cold and uninviting. So, what are the home colour trends for 2023? Let’s take a closer look.

Earth Tones
In 2023, earth tones will continue to be a popular choice for home decor. Think shades of brown, green, and beige, as well as rust and mustard tones. These colours are warm and welcoming and can help create a cozy atmosphere in any room. You can use earth tones as the main colour scheme for a room or use them as accents to add warmth and depth to a space.

Moody Blues
Moody blues will also be a trend in 2023. These are deep, rich blues that have a slightly muted quality to them. Think navy, teal, and indigo. These colours can create a sense of calm and relaxation in a space, making them ideal for bedrooms or living rooms. Pair moody blues with lighter shades of blue or white to create a sense of balance.

Bold Reds
If you want to make a statement with your home decor, bold reds will be a trend in 2023. These are bright, vibrant shades of red that can add energy and excitement to a space. You can use bold reds as an accent colour or make them the main colour scheme for a room. Pair them with neutral colours like white, grey, or black to help them pop.

Soft Greens
Soft greens will also be trending in 2023. These are light, muted shades of green that can create a calming and soothing atmosphere in a space. Think sage, mint, and seafoam. Soft greens work well in bedrooms and bathrooms, where you want to create a sense of tranquility. Pair them with natural wood tones and white to create a serene environment.

Monochromatic Color Schemes
Finally, monochromatic colour schemes will be a trend in 2023. These are colour schemes that use different shades of the same colour. For example, you could use different shades of blue to create a calming and cohesive look in a space. Monochromatic colour schemes are easy to pull off and can create a sense of unity and balance in a room.

Whether you want to create a cozy and warm space or a calm and relaxing environment, there is a colour trend that will work for you. Happy decorating!

Staying In: Heart Shaped Pizza (Costs Vary) 

There is no shortage of Edmonton pizza shops that offer heart shaped Pizzas on Valentine’s day but we’ll admit – our personal favourite is the CLASSIC from Boston Pizza because $1.00 from every heart shaped pizza sold goes to a local charity chosen by the location you order from. Did we mention that Boston Pizza has chosen to extend the sale of heart shaped pizzas to two days (Feb 13th and 14th) so there is plenty of opportunity to get yours.  Find the nearest Boston Pizza: Click Here

Staying In: Learn Something New (Cost Varies) 

Avoid the hustle and bustle of the outside world, get comfy, and learn something new together. Whether it’s a platonic or romantic bond, nothing reinforces it quite like the feeling you get when mastering (or epically and comedically fail at) something new. In the current climate online classes and resources have become readily available – why not turn them into a cerebral date night for you and your person. Check out one of our favourites (The raspberry soufflé is AWESOME): Click Here
