2023 New Year Design Trends from Denver Modern

2023 New Year Design Trends from Denver Modern

Everything on the internet influences us into believing this, that, and the next thing is a “trend.” Trends are what we call an undercurrent that moves us forward and helps us at Denver Modern consider new ideas. Denver Modern is not a trendy brand; instead, we take trends and incorporate them to create new ideas in our industry. They don’t compromise our integrity but help us make fresh and improved designs! So let’s look at what top trends are authentic to Denver Modern in 2023 and why!

Organic Form


We refer to organic form as the energy that materials and products bring into a space. The cool metals, warm leathers, and textured accessories bring a sense of playfulness and joy to an environment. We are explicitly used to select products that support home productivity, for example, when working, and solutions that help consumers relax and wind down. Denver Modern focuses on organic form through fabrics like our Boucle, which layers neutrals across textiles, evoking a cozy and warm interior. We also love to create contrast with textured pieces instead of layers of bright color. Spaces and furniture that are functional with muted colors bring a cozy minimalist feel into environments and enliven the space.

Mixed Modern

The idea of mixed modern can inspire consumers to warm up their homes with homewares that can be lived in or designed to be interacted with daily. Even after the pandemic, people are still working from home and taking the time to curate their space. 2023 brings in the cozy minimalist and rustic natural designs that redirect homes into sanctuaries. We see irregular mixtures like sheer and soft materials, warm woods, and bold metals being embraced and turning houses into healing spaces.

Armadillo & CO rugs combined with wood or metal pieces can achieve that mixed modern look!

Mountain Hues


Denver Modern's palette focuses on the colors we call mountain hues. Mountain Hues symbolize the serenity of the wilderness, creating a calm and peaceful environment in your home. With tones like serene greens, frosted nature, and shadow play, we emulate nature's mellow, soothing hues. Mountain hues circulate the idea of functionality and comfort. People work, live, and play in their homes, which is a driving factor in encouraging them to continue investing in their spaces. Specifically, colors like enriched browns and nuanced neutrals create a holistic point of view for a peaceful area.

Effortless Balance


Finding the structure within your space using textures, materials, and colors while making the space your own is what we consider "Effortless Balance." Not everything has to be a perfect match in 2023. We like the mixing and matching of woods, not having complete matching sets, and mixing our mediums and materials! One can find effortless balance in the juxtaposition of hard and soft, straight and curved, bold and subdued. People aren't embracing a spotless, clean, and minimal design. 2023 is the year of texture and mixing it into a homey lounge aesthetic. Denver Modern products bring warmth back into "Modern." Designs with neutral hues are reliable year-round and can be used to enhance both hard and soft product lines. Using textured blacks, rustic naturals, raw linens, and mixed earthy metals: you can create a space however you see fit.
