Spring’s practically synonymous with newness: new season, new weather, new routines, and oftentimes, the itch for new surroundings. Lucky for design enthusiasts — or anyone committing to an annual refresh — retailers have recently been rolling out their latest furniture and decor collections. Of course, I’m all for decorating however you want, but it’s always fun to keep tabs on what’s in style and source contemporary design inspo. That’s why I browsed the recent lookbooks of three top home brands — Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Urban Outfitters — to hone in on some notable interior design trends that feel fresh right now. Below, I broke down five specific looks, from popular colors and textures to lighting and rug standouts, with product recommendations for each. Best of all? These easily incorporate into your existing interior setup, no major spring overhaul needed (unless you want to go that route!). 

Bold Blues

Shifting somewhat away from on-trend cobalt, I’m noticing equally vibrant yet slightly less saturated pops of blue popping up for spring 2023. You’ll find these shades dominating furniture and home decor alike, from colorful upholstery to blue-hued ceramic glazes.

Sculptural Lighting

Modern, organic shapes define this season’s standout lighting fixtures. West Elm’s recent line of pendants and sconces favors sleek brass and matte black finishes, whereas Urban Outfitters’ and Pottery Barn’s designs draw on natural materials like rattan and jute.

Darker Details 

Spring 2023 interior design is going back to black for major foundational furniture pieces, hardware, lighting, and more. Urban Outfitters specifically nails this trend through their latest Casa del Sol home collection, which is dedicated to dark woods. The black iron Ophelia indoor/outdoor dining chairs from their newly-launched Mediterranean Moment line follow suit with this grounding hue as well.

Table Talk

This season’s all about putting your best (and brightest) tablescape forward — both inside and out. Take a cue from West Elm’s backyard-friendly melamine plates, Pottery Barn’s charming printed napkins, and Urban Outfitters’ whimsical new serveware. 

Neutral Foundations

Currently at Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Urban Outfitters, you’ll find a mélange of pretty muted area rug designs. Lay the groundwork for a calming space with subtle textures and prints.
