The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) is a trusted source for the design community, offering three key research reports each year: the Trends Outlook , the Economic Outlook , and the State of Interior Design . This year’s ASID 2023 Trends Outlook was released after analyzing how modern lifestyles, new technologies, and broader societal changes are shaping the field of design.
The report's executive summary highlights that as we move past the most urgent issues of the pandemic, the focus on health and safety has shifted toward a more holistic view of wellness. While it covers many key findings, there are six major insights that reveal who is seeking interior design services, where they live, and what they value most.
#1 – Wellness-Driven Design Is Now a Priority
Aesthetic choices still matter, but today, it's more important than ever to consider how a space affects its users. This has led to an increased emphasis on areas designed to reduce stress and promote overall well-being. In workplaces, employers are focusing on encouraging in-office presence, while homeowners are increasingly drawn to interiors with calming colors, natural materials, and thoughtful lighting. Elements like biodiversity, improved air quality, and dedicated spaces for yoga or meditation are becoming highly valued.

#2 – Inclusivity Is More Important Than Ever
Companies are now designing workspaces with neurodiverse employees in mind. These adjustments help create a more inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Simple changes like dimmer switches, quiet rooms, and reorganized layouts are making a big difference.

#3 – Millennials Are Shaping the Market
According to data from 2021, millennials now make up 43% of all home buyers, making them the largest age group. Even though the "millennial pink" trend has faded, staying in tune with their design preferences—especially their love for bold and vibrant styles—is crucial for success.

#4 – People Are Moving to the Outskirts
As remote work becomes more common, people are moving away from crowded cities to suburban and even rural areas. This shift means that demand for interior design services is growing even in the most remote parts of the country. It’s a great time to expand your reach and embrace a more flexible approach.

#5 – Sustainability Meets Luxury
Despite a challenging end to 2022, the luxury housing market is expected to stabilize. High-end homes are now being defined by sustainable design and functionality. Buyers are looking for eco-friendly features, such as energy-efficient lighting, smart home systems, and natural materials. At the same time, they're also drawn to aesthetics that reflect a commitment to environmentalism.

#6 – Blurring the Lines Between Commercial and Residential Spaces
In 2023, the line between commercial and residential design is getting blurrier. With more mixed-use spaces and repurposed buildings, designers must adapt. The concept of “resimercial†design—bringing home-like comforts into offices and hospitality spaces—is gaining traction. Both residential and commercial designers should pay attention to this evolving trend.
