Déco Off and Maison et Objet 2023
I’ve just returned from an exciting trip to Paris for the Déco Off and Maison et Objet shows and it was a dream! I spied several emerging trends and can’t wait to share them with you. I love keeping up on the latest in design and it was so much fun to attend what is referred to as “interior design’s Fashion Week.”
My four favorite trends from Déco Off and Maison et Objet
There was so much to take in, but these were the strongest trends that I noted. It will be interesting to see how they emerge here in the coming months!
1. Earth tones
What I think of as “desert” hues – shades of taupe, brown, gray, russet, and even pink that evoke sand, clay, and even mineral formations – were everywhere! In both color and pattern, earthy warmth was a strong theme throughout fabrics and wallpaper. Even though many of the tones are muted, there’s a positive, grounded energy that I feel resonates with people after the past few years.

2. Irregular shapes
A textile designer at Camengo described this new pattern trend as “square-cles;” essentially, a unique combination of squares and circles that play off of each other for visual interest. It’s a subtle nod to Art Deco styles, which were heavily influenced by geometry, and I definitely think we’ll see more of this mix of curves and lines.

Others were a bit more abstract with a larger scale, but still with that mix of curves and lines. This would look fabulous on throw pillows or a custom bench.

3. Fringe
Fringe isn’t new; it’s a favorite choice for trim. What I found in Paris was trim taken to the next level: integrated into the weave of rugs and fabric, often with a raw edge. This makes a perfect pairing of tactile and visual texture, even on monochromatic designs.

4. Accessories: Tapers and tapestries
In terms of accessories, both tapers and tapestries were everywhere. Who isn’t a fan of candlelight, especially for cozy nights in or fun dinner parties? This candelabra suits a trio of tapers, or can double as a vase for sweet stems of flowers or herbs.

The tapestries I noticed were more modern as well, with a lot of texture to them (do you spy the fringe here?). It’s such a cool way to make a statement in a smaller space!
