Daval Furniture share 2023 Bedroom Trends

Award-winning British designer and manufacturer of quality fitted furniture, Daval, predicts a bumper year for bedrooms as homeowners put indulgence and multi-functional flexibility at the top of their 2023-4 wish lists…

Simon Bodsworth, Managing Director at Daval says, “As we look to renovation season this spring, we predict luxury dressing rooms and versatile hybrid home offices will be in demand this year to deliver a more flexible and luxurious lifestyle experience. Creating beautiful spaces for rest, relaxation, studying, hobbies and working remotely will be fundamental to enhancing quality of life and wellbeing in 2023. In fact, research from the Mayo Clinic confirms organising your space can enhance your mental health, so investing in bespoke storage solutions is beneficial for your mind as well as your home.” As the bedroom market develops and expands to reflect an increasing need for selfcare and wellness, the Daval team is pleased to offer its insights on the latest trends.

FLOOR-TO-CEILING FLAIR: Tall units which maximise storage potential will be in demand as the way to maximise every inch of space in the 2023 bedroom. Installing wardrobes and cupboards which extend up to the ceiling will ensure the perfect fit and bring a streamlined feel to the bedroom. Must-have textures like linen and metallic effects will cater to a desire for luxurious, feelgood finishes as homeowners yearn for tactile effects to match a calming aesthetic. In addition, highlighting decorative accessories with integrated display shelving is the latest way to add a personal touch in keeping with a harmonious linear look.

DELUXE DRESSING ISLANDS: New deluxe central storage island units will be top of the charts in 2023, making getting ready even easier. Selecting eyewear, watches and jewellery to enhance your outfits will be a breeze thanks to a range of storage solutions such as specially designed leather trays. Zoned storage is big news this year, so only will you be able to see your favourite items at a glance, you’ll also be freeing up valuable space at the dressing table for your preferred grooming tools and cosmetics, helping to streamlining your daily beauty ritual.

SIZE MATTERS: Furniture which is precisely tailored to your needs will be at the heart of a calm and organized dressing area and bedroom in 2023, with a range of drawer sizes varying from slimline to deep to take care of non-hanging items. In fact, drawer storage is being reinvented in state-of-the-art island units as well as inside traditional wardrobes making it simpler than ever to manage clothes and travel goods as well as storing essentials like lingerie and nightwear.

SUSTAINABLE CHOICES: Furniture which is ethically made and environmentally friendly will be in demand this year reflecting the global movement to use resources more efficiently and creatively. With this in mind, custom British made fitted furniture which comes from renewable sources is an on-trend choice to reduce carbon footprint whilst catering to the unique nature of your home and lifestyle, helping you to maintain and protect your clothes and much-loved accessories. The latest smoked glass shelving, sturdy pull-out, soft-close drawers for shoes, pull down hanging rails, integrated mirrors and industrial inspired lighting options will personalise your space as well as promoting better organisation. It’s a real win-win for your wardrobe!

DEEP & RICH COLOURS: Navy blue bedrooms and home offices will be in vogue with year as Google confirms a 180% rise in searches for this relaxing, gender-neutral hue. This go-to calming colour is the perfect partner for in-demand wood details and luxurious metallic mineral effects which will elevate and transform fitted furniture this year.

HYBRID HERO SOLUTIONS: With hybrid working patterns here to stay in the UK, 2023 will see soaring demand for customised home office solutions. A mixture of open and closed storage will be in demand to cater for hanging files, office stationery, lever arch folders and media devices.

For the ultimate in ease and practicality, premium home office suites will have hanging storage for workwear so workers can grab a jacket for a polished look ahead of video conferences and Zoom meetings. As flexibility will be key to professional and family life in 2023, converting a spare bedroom into a home office will be increasingly popular with versatile furniture which can be flipped as required. Selecting desks that can double as dressing tables and choosing dual zone cabinetry to accommodate office supplies or your guests’ belongings will make all the difference in a functional and comfortable multi-purpose room.

Typically thought of as being an easy to clean area of the home, hard floors have risen in popularity in recent decades. Globally, hard floors are the most common floor type,2 and research released today by Dyson has uncovered poor cleaning habits that mean hard floors are likely to be harbouring an array of hidden nasties. This comes as 32% of Brits – equating to 21.6 million people in the UK – will use the same dirty mop head for six months or more before replacing it. What’s more, one in 20 also admit to keeping the same mop for a year or longer, and one in 10 think it is acceptable to use the same mop 100 times, spreading dirt around their floors every time they use it. Cross contamination is a primary issue for most common and traditional mopping methods with germs and bacteria further being unknowingly spread around homes as Brits use dirty water to clean floors.3 45% only change the water to new water between rooms, whereas 41% wait even longer until it looks dirty. This could mean that floors are being washed with dirty water, adding more dirt rather than taking it away. Surprisingly, almost one in 10 (9%) even admit to not changing the dirty water at all when mopping. Over a quarter (28%) admit to mopping their floors once a fortnight or less while over half (53%) admit they don’t regularly clean behind appliances and leave dirt to build up for as long as six months at a time. image002.jpg On how to achieve a perfect barefoot clean feel after mopping, Geli Lee, Dyson Engineer and Home Cleaning Expert offers their top tips for eliminating dirt around the home: 1. Create a cleaning schedule to stay on top of dirt build-up. In the last year, there has been a 15% global reduction in the number of people who maintain regular cleaning schedules. 47% of the British public admitted to only being motivated to clean when they spot visible dirt or dust.4 Regular floor cleaning with a wet hard floor cleaner like the Dyson WashG1™ removes more stubborn dirt than vacuuming alone. It is important to have a debris free surface, clear any clutter from the floor or other surfaces. Choose the right machine: Different vacuums are designed for different floor types and home sizes. Some machines will be engineered with hard floors in mind and will struggle on thick pile carpets, for example. Choosing the right machine for your home will make a big difference to the ease and speed with which you’re able to clean your home. Clean your floors ‘little and often’. Washing your floors frequently in areas that receive more foot fall will help to stop dirt building up and getting trodden into your floor. Using a dedicated wet floor cleaner on hard flooring such as the Dyson WashG1 is helpful for this, as the versatile format means it vacuums and washes the floor simultaneously. Cleaning schedules have also become less regimented. In recent years only 41% of people claim to have a regular cleaning schedule, and 60% admit to cleaning reactively; being motivated to clean only when there is visible dirt or dust5. It’s perhaps not surprising, that a fifth of people are still concerned their floors are dirty after they’ve mopped them (22%) and one in four6 feel extremely worried about indoor dust at home. Geli Lee, Dyson Engineer and Home Cleaning Expert reveals why it is important to change the way we mop: “Cleaning your hard floors properly and regularly is important for maintaining a healthy environment around your home. Without a proper cleaning routine, dirt may unknowingly build up and spread around your home. It is evident from our research that current mopping habits mean British households aren’t cleaning their floors as effectively as they should. “From ignoring problem areas where dust and debris build up, cross contamination with dirty water to not replacing mop heads or inconsistent cleaning, current mopping behaviours may be making floors dirtier as opposed to cleaner. Moving away from traditional methods, wet floor cleaners like the Dyson WashG1 simplify the floor cleaning experience and provide a modern efficient and hygienic solution” To help take the guesswork out of mopping, the brand new WashG1 is Dyson’s first dedicated wet floor cleaner that tackles wet and dry debris in one go. Engineered for hygienic cleaning and maintenance, the WashG1 is revolutionising wet floor cleaning, removing the need for multi-products and multi-steps to achieve a barefoot clean feel around the home. To put the product to the test, Dyson have cleaned one of London’s most iconic landmarks The Victoria and Albert Museum. From cleaning the grand marble floors housing the most prestigious exhibits, to cleaning up leftover food in the Gamble Room Cafe, the WashG1 had a dirt busting tour of the museum leaving it spotless. Images can be found here. The WashG1 introduces Dyson’s engineering expertise to cleaning hard floors. With a 1 litre clean-water tank to cover flooring up to 290m2, the Dyson WashG1 uses a combination of hydration, absorption, and extraction technologies to remove wet and dry spills and stains simultaneously. The Dyson WashG1 is available to purchase now from Dyson.co.uk, retailing at £599.99.
