Life in the Jungle?! - Jungle Accents in the Home - Trends for 2023
/WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
Don’t lie, you had “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses start playing in your head right? Maybe had a flashback to the Jumanji movies and thought, “Why would I want that in my house?”
Who doesn’t love natural wood accents and hints of greens and tans throughout the house? If you do not like that idea, see below what the experts are saying for this 2023 year:
“Our homes are going to be filled with color, but not in a Crayola/primary way. Instead, we will be using fabrics, paint and wallpaper to infuse our rooms with patterns and accents applied with sophistication and thoughtfulness. One room plays against the next, so each space should balance each other. We will continue to see traditional murals and scenic papers, but done in a more modern and colorful way.” -Kristina Phillips, Founder of Kristina Phillips Interior Design
“The use of natural materials will continue to reign, as sustainability and eco awareness is only becoming more important. However, we are going to see less of the softer, washed-out woods, but rather more textured, darker species. -Kristina Phillips, Founder of Kristina Phillips Interior Design
“Incorporating natural elements throughout the home is becoming increasingly trendy. I love presenting my clients with the idea of an accent wall paneled with wood; Maybe your TV gets mounted on top, or maybe the wood accent is surrounding a fireplace. Wood is such a fun way of adding interest and depth, and since it's neutral in color, you'll never get tired of it!” -Michal Rubin, Principal Designer and Owner of MR Interiors
