Luxe | Ahead of the Curve
East Coast
Atlanta Market is always looking ahead at what's new and next in the home design and décor space. Here, four interior designers and "Ahead of the Curve" panelists share their top 2023 design trends along with products best representing them that can be sourced in Atlanta.
MODERN ARCHES
“I’m noticing that arches are being used in fun and creative ways. I consider arches to be fairly traditional, but there seems to be a movement toward arches in a more modern way, with less ornate detailing and subtle touches. They are being featured in door frames (with a change, thank goodness, from the Shaker style) and in the legs of tables and chairs.”
THE IMPORTANCE OF ARTISAN
“In many areas of decoration, I’m finding that there is a greater emphasis on the idea of handmade, heritage-quality goods. Whether it be a hand-thrown ceramic lamp or woven rattan furnishings crafted in a family-owned workshop—a story dedicated to the pieces collected for a home is more important than ever. To fill one’s home with meaningful items is gratifying.”
MINIMALISM + NEUTRALS
“Personally, I’m collecting fewer but better things and encouraging my clients to do the same. Amazing case goods and luxurious upholstery add to my visual and tactile experience—no need to muddy that with too many accessories … #edit! I’m also all about earthy neutrals right now.”

GEOMETRY LESSON
“The sculptor in me is excited to see a resurgence of basic shapes— triangle lampshades, oversize circle pendants and exaggerated box upholstery. Adding simple shapes to any space provides instant chic and a subtle nod back to beloved design “OGs” like David Hicks, Albert Hadley and Angelo Donghia. Returning to a classic form means you can work it in any space or aesthetic.”
