With 2023 well underway, here at Mikró, we are always looking for the latest trends in interior design to inspire our play mats. This year, there are three major trends, which are quite interconnected, that you could expect to see influencing interior design choices.

• Natural fabrics with inspiration from around the world
• The Dulux Colour of the Year
• Interior Curves & Architectural Features

This year, Tuscany is inspiring many of our playmat designs. The rolling hills of Tuscany and the rustic charm of Italian countryside homes features earthy, warm colours such as deep browns, burnt oranges, and deep reds. These colours are paired with textured materials such as wool, jute, sisal, and seagrass to create a natural feel. This trend is perfect for homeowners who want to add a touch of sophistication and rustic charm to their homes.  Couple this with the woven trend which is all about creating a sense of warmth and comfort in the home and you have a design set ready to explode.

Dulux has selected Wild Wonder as its 2023 Colour of the Year. This warm, natural shade of yellow brings the beauty of the outdoors into your home, creating a sense of tranquility and well-being.
Inspired by nature, the name Wild Wonder encapsulates the essence of freedom and magic found in the great outdoors. To complement this vibrant hue, Dulux has also unveiled four accompanying color palettes - flow, lush, buzz and raw, that reflect the latest trends in interior design.  You can expect to see designs in our playmats that will compliment Wild Wonder as well as the four accompanying palettes.  Learn more about the Colour of the Year here.

Finally, interior curves, architectural steps and arches drawn on a flat plane is a modernist trend that started picking up steam in 2022 and is going from strength to strength this year. This trend could inspire playmats to incorporate more curves and arches into their designs, creating a sense of movement and flow in the space. This trend is perfect for homeowners who want to add a touch of drama and sophistication to their homes.

The playmat trends for 2023 offer a range of design options for homeowners looking to update their homes. Whether you are looking for a warm and cozy feel with the natural trend or a pop of colour with the Dulux Colour of The Year, Wild Wonder, there is a trend out there that is sure to suit your interior design goals.
If you have any particular designs that you would love to see in a Mikró playmat, we’d love to hear your ideas!
