DESIGN TRENDS❗️A hot design trend for 2023 are soft, modern kitchens.

This is a kitchen with a modern, clean design and a ‘warmer’ palette that softens the modern look, moving away from black & white kitchens. Clients are starting to incorporate neutral colours, hardwood flooring, moody lighting, pops of colour, and personalized elements—all great ways to warm up your space. 🧡

Pictured is the kitchen from the Lucchetta Homes Trento Model, Lot 4, located in Lusso Urban Towns, 🌟 Thanks to for the tip 🙌🏻

For all your lighting needs visit our showroom or shop online. Note we also offer consultation services.

DESIGN TRENDS • Out with the old, in with the new. 💫

We love seeing what interior design trends the new year has in store for us! Here are the top 6 predicted trends for 2023:

Personality-driven design
🔸Expect to see a shift from neutral rooms to cozy spaces that reflect the homeowners personality. This means more colour, personal collections, layered textiles, unique art, and a mixture of old and new furnishings. People are starting to crave more character in their homes and aren't afraid to show it.

Wellness in the home
🔸 As homeowners spend (and have spent) more time at home than ever before, they are looking to create spaces within their homes that feel like an escape. Many are designing intentional rooms dedicated to self-care whether that be meditation, yoga, exercise, reading rooms or nooks, the possibilities are endless.

No more open concept
🔸The idea of open concept living has become less popular in recent years. Since the pandemic, people would rather setup private and quiet areas within their home or dedicated spaces free from interruptions. From home offices to private dining rooms, dedicated work and family areas allow homeowners the best of both worlds; all under one roof.

Design contrary to location
🔸The design community is finally moving past designs that have no relation to where we live. That means you won't be seeing as much farmhouse-style designs in urban downtown Toronto.

Soft, modern kitchens
🔸While homeowners often want modern kitchens, they also want a space that feels warm and inviting to their friends and family. An emphasis on finding that perfect balance, whether its a splash of colour or introducing warm wood accents, the kitchen is truly the heart of the home.

Goodbye minimalism
🔸 Gone are the days of clean, nearly empty walls and spaces. People are drawn to homes with more depth, colour, and energy. This means more bright colours, textures, fun decor pieces, finishes, wallpapers, and more.

Thanks to for sharing these insightful trends.

DESIGN TIPS • Often people ask for some basic tips on styling bookshelves, so we’ve put together some inspiration to get your creativity flowing. Check out our checklist for some tips to keep in mind while styling your shelves. Happy decorating!⁠


• Declutter Keep your bookshelf organized by avoiding clutter and only keeping items that are useful or meaningful to you.⁠
 ⁠
• No Rules:  There is no one right way to display your books - make it functional and tidy and try different layouts like grouping by color or genre.⁠

• Stack It: If you’ve created a few book stacks on your shelf, simply place a small decorative item on top.
 ⁠
• Decorate: Utilize decorative objects to fill empty space on your bookshelf.
 ⁠
• Compliment: “Make your bookshelf fit your style by adding decor elements, painting or wallpapering the shelves, and displaying artwork and coffee table boxes⁠.

• Use meaningful items from you and/or your partner: It adds personality to your shelving.

• Add metallic accents: A few metallic objects will add that pop of bling and elevate your shelf styling.

Remember to measure and plan ahead to make the process go smoothly! ⁠and above all have fun with it!
