This time of year there is such a treasure trove of inspiration as everyone starts goal-setting for the new year and all the information sources we follow (news, TV, movies, art, home, social) are full of interesting aesthetics and products to consider.
In light of that, we pulled together eight things we are inspired by going into 2023:
1. Bold Trims & Doors
We’ve been exploring trim treatment in recent projects, and love the way a room is completely transformed when the trim isn’t considered the stopping point for the paint (or stain).
2. Velvet & Upholstery
Regular followers know that we really love dark and moody here at Park & Oak. And one of the secrets for achieving the right balance? Carefully chosen upholstery. But even in a bright, light room, velvet upholstery feels so luxurious. We are on board with this!
3. Brass Accents
Brass really brings the drama sometimes, doesn’t it? But brass can also be understated, or just the right addition to a subtle, serene room to give it a little life and shine. Unlacquered brass also ages beautifully, and brings the patina and character that is the lifeblood of good design.
4. Hidden Details
Whether it’s a built-in stepstool or a camouflaged door, hidden details help make the design of a room feel seamless, while still bringing all the practicality needed for modern families.
5. Curves & Arches
Oh curves and arches, how we love thee. Of course, curves and arches are not new in the design world, but we are seeing more and more of them, and have been incorporating them into our new build work frequently. We love the way a curve brings unexpected beauty to small spaces, and great big drama to larger ones.
6. 70’s Vibes
There is so much inspiration to draw from the different decades and of course the 70’s are no exception. You’re not likely to see us going full-fledged postmodern anytime soon, but we will always love the bold florals and beautiful, large stone associated with the 70’s.
7. Natural Elements
Bringing nature indoors can mean so many things, whether it’s a bamboo ceiling, rattan chairs, a vase of florals, or a stone arch. All of these elements help connect us more to the outdoors, even when we’re enjoying the comforts of being inside.
8. Minimalism
Always in style.
