Are you ready for fun and adventurous new trends in art? It’s all about excitement and drama for 2023. These hot trends are taking over the limelight like the characters of a thrilling Hollywood or Broadway production. Several design experts have already identified them. Here’s the playbill!
This year home decor is all about larger-than-life centerpieces. Not sure what to do with a blank wall? Dress it up with a large painting. You can even hang a diptych or triptych. A diptych is simply a set of two paintings made together by the artist, while a triptych is a set of three.
But even centerpieces might not do much without three-dimensional pieces to support it. Like great sidekicks in a movie, three-dimensional art can amplify the positive traits of a centerpiece by adding texture and atmosphere to a room.
Say goodbye to boring grays and muted colors. Bold colors enter the stage! The darker and moodier they are, the better. Blacks and dark hues add powerful highlights to a space. If you feel intimidated by them, try rich gemstone colors instead.
Vintage and antique pieces continue to share importance with younger and older generations alike. Keep an eye out for hand-me-downs, estate jewelry, and especially artwork with vintage frames. These pieces are a hot commodity!
Art collectors will love this trend! A gallery wall is simply a group of art and decorations hung together on a wall. The items often share a collective theme or personal meaning. You can form a gallery wall in the living room, hallway or even the stairway. If you don’t have much, a diptych or a triptych is a great start.
This dramatic trend that revived in 2022 continues to be relevant for many decorators in 2023, especially in homes with sleek modern decor. To achieve the Art Deco look, aim for plenty of pieces with bold colors and defined fluted lines.
Meanwhile, natural elements quietly remind us of their constant importance in home decor. Like scenery props on a stage, they’re the perfect backdrop for your home. Hand crafted items like pottery and woven baskets add a beautiful rustic touch. Try decorating with dark wood accents, a new trend that complements the dramatic colors of 2023!
Come see what’s new at Seaside Art Gallery, one of the largest private art galleries in the Southeast. They are available at the Gallery and online. Hundreds of beautiful pieces are here that suit any artistic taste. Who knows, you might find the one that fits your very own life story!
