As the world moves back to speed mode, contradictory feelings are emerging; we desperately want to enjoy life and freedom once again, but, at the same time, we feel the need to protect and preserve that ‘suspended’ space we experienced during the pandemic. Yet, this uncomfortable duality we are experiencing right now is a new feeling that has the power to become a wake-up call to new activism, unforeseen opportunities and unexpected ideas.
The PANTONEVIEW Home + Interiors 2023 color planner speaks to this new design vision, one that is simultaneously anchored by what we want to keep and foster and by what we want to invent, create and experiment with. Releases every year by Pantone, this collection features key color directives, suggested color harmonies plus material and product application for the home and furnishings market.
The PANTONEVIEW Home + Interiors 2023 color forecast has 7 palettes.
Tropic Refresh
Showcasing undertones of sand, sea and sky, this palette offers a balanced feel with both warmth and coolness. Be inspired by monochromatic Ombré blends pulled from nature. We are reminded wellbeing is only a vacation away.
Epic Tales
Inspired by the mythic past that has inspired popular fantasy and science-fiction films and TV series. “Medieval meets Modern” brings onscreen adventure into everyday life using rich tones mixed with deepened metallics.

Use this palette for upcycling home décor.
Earthbound
The colors in this eclectic palette combine to elevate a sense of texture and feel. Evoking ancient materials, kiln effects and patinaed metals. earthbound is a reflection of our design for cultural reference and travel – even if we only do it on screen.

Unexpected Reality
This palette joyfully blends softer tones unexpectedly and satisfyingly with vibrant bright colors. Technology informs materials for a more upbeat sensibility. This palette is energized by a youthful state of mind to provide splashes of happiness in your home.
Artisanal Invention
Rustic and sleek colors harmonize in an eclectic theme that “Makes new of old.” Drawing from bohemian art and crafts and manipulated fabrics, this palette offers combinations for eccentric genius. Some may consider fashion’s “ugly chic” trend translated into interior décor.
Intoxicants
This palette is about bright bold adventures. Since color impacts how you feel, using a hallucinogenic haze of color influenced by tech will elevate shared experiences. Intoxicants is the party you don’t want to leave.
