As any local weatherman or Magic 8 Ball will tell you, predictions are an inexact science. Try as you might, you’re sure to miss a scattered shower or love-connection query or two. The beauty of interior design, of course, is that there’s no real right or wrong—what’s on the horizon in one designer’s world may be in the rearview for another. (One man’s shagreen is another man’s shiplap, as it were.) Still, the start of another year begs questions of what’s new and what’s next?
To get the answers, we turned to top local talents, like Corbin See and Erin Sander, to share what they expect to see in 2023. But after talking to everyone, we started noticing patterns too. Here, now, are D Home’s picks.
Plaster
From lighting and accessories to furniture, white plaster pieces provide a minimalist palette without the overly pristine look. The matte, textural finish lends a dimensionality that feels refreshingly handmade.

Marble
Long favored by designers as a countertop material, this natural stone has moved out of the kitchen and into just about every other space imaginable. Add a dash of drama with an occasional table or console, each bearing distinctive and unique veining.
