2025 Interior Design Trends You’ll Want in Your Home

As we settle into 2025, interior design is leaning into warmth, soul, and self expression. After years of cool minimalism, we’re seeing a return to rooms that feel lived in, layered, and rich in story.

Here are the top trends designers (and homeowners) are embracing this year — plus tips on how to style them beautifully.

1. Earthy Tones & Textures

Warm taupes, cinnamon, clay and olive greens are replacing grey. These natural hues are grounding and timeless, working across both modern and traditional interiors.

How to style it: Pair earthy tones with tactile finishes — limewash walls, boucle cushions, ceramic lamps. Think calm, not cold.

2. Soft Maximalism

It’s not quite “more is more,” but it’s definitely not bare. 2025 is all about thoughtful layering — combining vintage with new, pattern with solid, high with low. The key is to keep it cohesive.

How to style it: Try layering a patterned rug over a jute base, mixing eras in your furniture, or displaying books, art and collected items that tell a personal story.

3. Statement Lighting as Art

Lighting is no longer just functional — it’s sculptural. Expect oversized pendants, organic shapes, and pieces that double as centrepieces.

How to style it: Go bold in one room. Over a dining table, stairwell or even a bathroom vanity — let the light lead the design.

4. Sustainable, Story-Led Design

Today’s buyers care about where pieces come from. Handmade, vintage, or ethically sourced furnishings are no longer niche — they’re sought-after.

How to style it: Blend heritage pieces with modern comforts. Mix in handmade pottery, reclaimed wood, or family heirlooms with fresh finishes.
