When it comes to the top design trends of 2023, the styles are nothing short of cutting edge and absolutely breathtaking.

Or maybe you are determined to build your home with energy efficient systems to support the rehabilitation of the planet.
If you find yourself in any of those categories, then you are probably more in touch with the top design trends of 2023 than you might think! As passionate custom home builders here at Arista, we pride ourselves on curating homes that align with these trends and empower each client to incorporate their unique style.
So, without further adieu, let's dive into the top design trends of 2023!
Let's Talk About What's In-Style: Maximalism
Look, why be minimalist when you can be maximalist? The Maximalist interior design trend incorporates bold pops of colors, mixed patterns, layered fabrics, and contrasting motifs. Imagine collecting art, furniture, and other items you love and mixing them all together to create an eccentric, one-of-a-kind design expression that is truly unique to you. Modern maximalism asks for an unleashing of boldness, creativity, and imagination, and for the designer to be unafraid to play with color combinations and bring in loads of texture.
2023 Trends are Calling for Hobby Rooms

Yes, you heard that right – hobby rooms. Homeowners are becoming increasingly eager to create intentional spaces in their homes for exploring personal interests. And why shouldn't they be?! These rooms are as unique as one person to the next, ranging from arts and crafts spaces, home gyms, small libraries, meditation sanctuaries, to gardening rooms. Whether you are craving a designated space to connect with yourself, your inner artist, or your family and friends, a hobby room is a great option for expanding your capacity to explore.
Arista's designers are excited about custom building rooms that will be a source of joy and exploration for their clients. Check out our feature on Florida Rooms to get inspired!
Welcome to the Future: It's All About Sustainability
It's 2023 – who isn't prioritizing sustainable design these days? The future of our planet weighs heavily on our shoulders, and as it turns out, sustainable design is mutually beneficial to the planet AND your bank account. The intention of this interior design trend is to implement renewable energy systems that are pollution-free, use environmentally friendly building materials, reduce waste, and focus on water conservation.
Arista understands the impact of sustainable development, and consistently develops homes that implement energy efficient practices. Some options for building sustainably include use of solar panels, increasing natural light, and implementing eco-friendly interior design trends such as biophilic design.
Biophilic design centralizes the importance of cultivating a connection between humans and nature within their living environment. Not only does biophilic design amplify sustainability, it adds a dimension of beauty and peace to your home that only nature can offer. Check out some of the benefits of biophilic design here.
Smart Home Technology

We wouldn't be doing the future any justice if we didn't mention smart home technology. The ability to regulate appliances, lights, and the temperature of your home through the touch of a button on your smartphone or tablet is an epic mark of the digital age we find ourselves in.
Whether you are interested in having control over the television, your garage door, music, or alarm systems, in-home smart technology has enabled a new level of efficiency for life at home. Arista is proud to offer this amenity to the communities they serve.
All of our homes utilize the Alarm.com ecosystem and come with many desired features, such as video doorbell, pre-wired surround sound, and a smart thermostat. Each home is prewired up to our gold package and allows clients to make future upgrades. As a bonus, we offer options to upgrade to our bronze, silver, or gold smart packages at any time, creating an opportunity to elevate the technology inside of your home.
Additionally, if you are curious about upgrading to smart-home light switch technology, ask about our optional upgrade with the European-styled Deako light switches. Beautifully, the Deako Switches system integrates easily with Alarm.com – no additional wiring is required!
We love having the opportunity to work with different clients to customize their future living spaces to meet their every need and amplify their vision for optimal living. To learn more about what Arista has to offer, check out our gallery online or book an appointment with us!
