- Incorporate Curves
The arch design was a big hit in 2022 and we expect its popularity to continue this year, but beyond the door archways, painted arch motifs, shelving nooks or arch shape home accessories, we are expecting to see more curves incorporated in cabinet corners, countertop ends and greater preference for curvy furniture such as curved sofas and statement display sculptures.

Renovation requires a big financial commitment, even more so if extensive hacking, masonry and carpentry works are involved. If you need help with enhancing your financial flexibility, consider HSBC Personal Loan that facilitates one of the longest loan tenure in the market, allowing you to spread your loan repayment to a maximum tenure of 7 years so that you can repay your loan at a comfortable pace.

- Go Bold with Colours
Bid goodbye to the white-and-wood colour palette of the Scandinavian design style. Warm and earthy tones will find their way into homes this year.
Be sure to get acquainted with Viva Magenta – dubbed the colour of the year 2023 by Pantone, this vibrant hue from the red family exudes strength and fearlessness. Incorporate this colour to energize and empower your home – watch as your space manifests the vigour and optimism Viva Magenta brings.

- Luxe it with Marble
Using marble in interior design almost never goes out of style. Coupled with a good design, marble adds sophistication and an effortless elegant touch to the space. It is said that marble with deeper colours, patterns and textures will make a comeback this year. Marble is versatile and can be used on different elements in a home, such as: countertop, tabletop, sink, bath tub, accent piece, flooring or kitchen backsplash etc.
Many homeowners think that marble is an expensive material, however there is a wide price range depending on colours, thickness and grades. It is certainly worth the investment as marble is a durable material; if a little financial help is what you need to ease your finances, HSBC Personal Loan can help secure you some extra cash with a quick turnaround of approval in principle within one minute.
