From the unfortunate fate of shiplap (sorry, Chip and Jo) to the ubiquitous categorization of "gather" signs as cheugy, one thing's clear: Design trends come and go at lightning speed.
We checked in with some of our favorite design influencers to see what they're ditching in 2023. Here, find 5 interior trends to skip–plus what to splurge on instead.

OUT: WALL-TO-WALL MARBLE
IN: WALNUT WOOD
"Marble is beautiful, but I think this is an example where you can have too much of a good thing," explains designer Nick Lewis. Instead, the walnut wood trend will fit in darker & moodier spaces.

OUT: STACKED FLOATING
SHELVES
IN: LONG LINEAR SHELVING
It's official: stacked, open shelves are making an exit from the design scene. Instead, designer Katelyn Fuller predicts they'll be replaced with long, linear shelving that acts as an extension of your kitchen backsplash.

OUT: OLIVE TREES
IN: LONG RED OAK TREES
"I have yet to see one well-produced faux olive tree," says Fuller. Replace them with red oak trees, which are more unique and not as widely used. If you're looking for a corner filler, these are the way to go.

OUT: HERRINGBONE TILE
IN: ZELLIGE TILE
Designers are replacing herringbone tiles with glossy, zellige tiles. "These handcrafted ceramic tiles are definitely having a moment–mostly, because they fit with a sort of organic modern aesthetic that people are really loving right now," explains Lewis.

OUT: COLORFUL PLASTER WALLS
IN: MUTED PANEL MOULDINGS
Designers have had enough of these ultra-colorful walls. Instead, lean into Parisian design with panel mouldings to add visual interest without distracting from the furniture.
