Hot furnishing trends for the new year!  In 2023 things are getting colourful and individual. 2022 was all about calm colours, cosy furniture and subtleness, but 2023 brings oodles of individualism and self-realisation. Now we can play around with forms, materials, colours and styles.   For my latest blog post, I have delved deeply into the 2023 decor trends, and I can assure you that you won't be able to escape the following three interior trends.   TREND 1:  LOUD COLOURS  The 2023 trend colours (to the blogpost) have revealed some of this, with even furniture and decor accessories showing their colourful, expressive side this year.  White and neutral tones, which have made way for louder colours, are increasingly used as feel-good focal points in the living area. And striking wall pictures, playful carpets and colourful living accessories provide an instant dopamine kick to your four walls.   Matching art prints  BAY VIEW, A4 art print, from €42.45 KOREAN HANDBOK, art print in 30 X 40 cm from €54.95 TREND 2: WELCOME TO UNIQUE AND VINTAGE PIECES  Goodbye to off-the-shelf designs and mass-produced products! This year, the trend is to personalise and express your individuality. Individual pieces and pre-owned objects and furniture are finding their way into our living spaces, and we can combine them at will with the new. Flea market finds are very popular and combine excellently with your existing furniture.    Matching art prints  FOLLOW RIVERS art print, available in the sizes 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm und 50 x 70 cm, from €54.95 SAND AND CORAL, art print in 30 x 40 cm, from €54.95 TREND 3: GREENTERIOR  In keeping with our passion for sustainability and environmental consciousness, this trend represents more nature in our interiors. However, the idea is not to decorate your four walls with indoor plants. This year, warm, earthy and coffee tones, natural materials like rattan and seaweed and botanical motives are taking over, especially in the kitchen and dining room. Add a few attractive pottery pieces, and your look will be perfect.   Matching art prints  VERTE, art print in 30 x 40 cm, from €54.95 STILL LIFE, art print in 30 x 40 cm, from €54.95 You can find more decor inspiration in my online shop, on Instagram or on Pinterest.    Love,  Tiny 

Dare something new; dare with colour. My plans for 2023? Having the courage to dare something new, to dare with colour. Let's make a colourful start to this new year by diving into the four main interior colour trends of 2023 – "Lavender Cream", "Red Latex", "Brown Sand", and "Green Deep Lake". In this post, I delve more deeply into these fresh new colour worlds and their effects and present some matching artworks from my online shop www.tinystories.nl. Have fun while you discover your favourite colour for the new year! TREND COLOUR 1: LAVENDER CREAM The soft lilac tone, “Lavender Cream”, is diverse and facilitates diverse moods, radiating peace and cheerfulness. While a deep violet seems extravagant and original, the light "Lavender Cream" is much softer and more relaxing. When you combine it with beige and rust nuances, you can create exciting contrasts. I especially love the friendly aspect of this colour tone. It fills me with peace and relaxation, like a short holiday break from that everyday stress.

Optimistic red tones radiate energy and reveal an eagerness to gather new experiences. This colour lends itself to experimentation and unfolds warmth and comfort in these cold winter months. I recommend using lighter natural tones and white to balance the intense red.

This trend colour creates a space that grounds us and offers security.  A mixture of a caramel-like brown-orange and a light nude tone, "Brown Sand" exudes the lightness of a Mediterranean summer vacation. Calm colours combine exceptionally well with other nuances and create room for unique interior styling ideas with vintage finds like baskets and ceramics.

This dark blue-green allows us to dive into the colour depths of a lake and seems nostalgic, emotional and secretive. Ensconced between sea blue and leaf green, this trend colour was derived from nature and creates a calming atmosphere in any room. A green tone in an interior space always draws in a part of nature, connecting the indoors to the living outdoors.  Because we’re dealing with a dark shade, the colour "Green Deep Lake" should be used with care, as applying it to a large surface area could make the room seem smaller.   MATCHING PICTURES ÉMERAUDE wall hanging (€179.95) EMERALD GREEN limited art print (A4 and 30 X 40 cm, from €52.45) You can find more decor inspiration in my online shop, on Instagram @tinystories.nl, or on Pinterest @tinystoriesartshop.
