9 Design Trends We’re Loving From the 2023 Real Simple Home Expect to see all of these decorating trends this fall. From wicker details to monochromatic lamps, here are the biggest interior design trends of fall 2023 to try right now.

SEPTEMBER: Seems there used to be a nip in the air on September evenings, now as I recently read, "September is the new July"....hopefully not quite!

Still, in September my thoughts are inevitably drawn to the promise of Fall, parties, holidays, gatherings....and a few of my favorite things ~ friends, entertaining, cooking, white pottery, vintage kitchen implements, bowls of unshelled pecans, gifting, crunchy leaves...

Good design is about creating an environment, a feeling. Use the elements of design to give your spaces the ambience you’re looking for. People won’t want to leave, but won’t know why!

Only in Texas story: yesterday we started removing the roof at my “50’s House in the Woods” project…totally removing all the rafters in order to raise the pitch, that is. Weather forecast showed only 102-105 every day for the next 2 weeks, right?!

Aaaaand NOW it’s raining! Now!

Watch as we build the addition to this MCM fixer upper - and actually raise the roof!
