These interior design trends are In this year and focus on fun, comfort and sustainability; A perfect fit for your Mexican home decor.

Whether you’re looking to renovate or simply update your home in Mexico, it feels like now more than ever homeowners are focused on three things: creating a sanctuary out of their living space, adding a healthy dose of vibrant joy, and turning ever more towards the use of natural and sustainable materials to get back in touch with our true nature. The main criteria in establishing all of this? Color and texture.

Terazzo – Back and Better than Ever!

Remember those mesmerizing patterns and tactile surfaces that captured our hearts years ago? Well, they’re making a splendid comeback in 2023. Terazzo brings depth and character to any space, infusing it with a playful touch, and it's more affordable than marble or granite. From kitchen backsplashes to bathroom vanities, this material offers endless creative possibilities to add a unique flair to your home decor. And if you aren't ready to make it a permanent feature in your home, try terazzo in a coffee or end table.

Iron Accents – Elegance Meets Authenticity

While iron is no stranger to traditional Mexican home decor, we are seeing a trend toward more contemporary iron light fixtures, kitchen hardware and faucets, for just the kind of grounded elegance we’ve been waiting for. The combination of sturdy iron with delicate fabrics and natural materials creates an intriguing visual balance that adds character to contemporary interiors. Just remember, in our Mexican climate, it needs to be maintained properly.

Natural Fabric Light Fixtures Take the Spotlight

Creating the right ambiance in your home is everything, and nothing does it better than lighting. Fabric and natural fibre lighting fixtures are taking the spotlight in 2023 interior design trends. Imagine soft, diffused lighting flowing from woven fiber fixtures or fabric-covered pendants, enveloping your space with a warm and intimate glow. When paired with soft textures and curved furniture, this type of lighting elevates the coziness of any room.

Sustainability in Style – Designing with a Green Heart

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s becoming a very important consideration for both manufacturers and consumers. Working to bring attention to and alleviate crises like global warming, air pollution and product waste is already a present issue. First, recycled materials (either upcycled for you or recycled through DIY) help reduce waste. Second, more sustainable materials such as cork, kelp, mycelium, and especially bamboo, create home decor that not only minimizes our impact on the planet, but also lasts longer, saving you money. And finally, elements of biophilic design such as focusing on natural light, and bringing nature indoors cuts down on energy use and cost. Embracing sustainable interior design trends allow us to get creative with a conscience. It’s the perfect way to make our homes beautiful while reducing our effect on the environment.

Rugs as Art – Get on top of your Creativity

Rugs have evolved beyond their traditional roles and are now celebrated as works of art themselves, with the ability to inform and transform any room. While more natural fiber, neutral rugs such a jute are just as popular than ever, bold patterns and now even unconventional shapes can turn your floors into captivating canvases, infusing every corner with personality and elevating your home decor's overall aesthetic.

Go Natural – Embracing Raw, Handmade, and Local

We are spoiled here in Mexico with so many gorgeous local and handmade home decor, and now they are more popular than ever. From clay pottery, natural wood tables and lamps, to woven seagrass baskets and wall decor, Mexico knows how to harness the natural elements and bring them indoors, and it’s right on trend. Natural wood, stone, and fibers create a calming and harmonious environment that echoes the beauty of the outdoors.

Layers of Textures- Layer on the depth, weight and Interest

Gone is the way of everything being matchy-matchy, we are all about layered elements to add visual and tactile interest. The best way to start is to find a texture you love and build on it and around it. Consider adding textured walls, textured or bold-patterned wall paper or paneling. Then begin adding textured fabrics like boucle, leather or velvet. Mix it up with differently textured pillows or wooly throw blanket. Incorporate elements of rattan, stone, wood, or metal in your furniture. The key is balance—don’t go overboard with any one thing, and stick to a few elements of texture in each room to create a space that becomes a discussion.

Outdoor Showers – Bring your Spaesthetic Outdoors

Who said showers were just for indoor spaces? With record breaking temperatures and a renewed love of being outside after the pandemic, outdoor showers are taking the scene in interior design trends, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Besides, who doesn’t want to jump in the shower after doing yard maintenance, gardening, or swimming in the pool or ocean? Now it’s easier than ever, and the possibilities are endless; from natural stone, or polished concrete, to colored glass or gorgeous tile, outdoors showers allow you to enjoy a luscious and invigorating shower while surrounded by your tropical garden. It’s the ultimate way to savor a little slice of paradise in your own backyard.

Oceanic Hues- Shades in a Sea of Colors

There are a lot of hues trending this year, and if you’re a little further away from the coast, you can also think brick-pink and soft gold, but if you’re on the Mexican coast like us, Ocean hues are deeply In. And it makes sense — what better way to invoke feelings of tranquility and calm than with light and dark blues, greens and everything in between? If you’re looking for a refreshing accent color to any bathroom or bedroom, look no further than these pretty, ocean-inspired colors.

Curved Furniture – Softening the corners Is Edgy

Curved lines on furniture isn’t new, but it is becoming more popular with the rise of more natural elements in design. Think about the world outside, few things in nature have straight edges and right angles, which is why curved home decor lends to a more relaxing, organic feel to your space. Once you have a curved chair or sofa for example, it’s easier to add a round, naturally cut wood coffee table, or a round floor pouf. Bringing in these softer lines will promote a calming sensation in your space that will feel like a big, round hug.
