Our Top Five 2025 Interior Design Trend Predictions
3 minute read.
With 2025 just around the corner, we’re excited to lean into some new trends, but also see the evolution of existing design styles. Whether you’re planning your next renovation, or just looking to update a specific space in your home, these five trends are here to give you some inspiration and direction for 2025 interior design.
Warm Minimalism, Organic Shapes and Textures, Casual Comfort, Rich Colours, and Tortoiseshell Accessories.
Warm Minimalism
Minimalism has long been associated with simplicity, clean lines, and neutral tones. However, in 2025, minimalism is getting a much-needed infusion of warmth. ‘Warm Minimalism’ takes the minimalist aesthetic and softens it with richer tones, organic materials, and more inviting textures. It’s a response to the growing desire for cozy, lived-in spaces that still feel uncluttered and tranquil.
How to Achieve Warm Minimalism:
Earthy Hues: Think of warm neutrals like terracotta, soft browns, and creamy beige/biscuit to create a cozy yet simple base to your room.
Natural Materials and Textures: Wooden furniture, linen fabrics, and stone finishes are key to balancing the clean lines of minimalism with a more casual atmosphere.
Soft Lighting: Swap out bright, clinical lighting for softer, warmer lighting options, like pendants or wall lights with dimmers, to enhance the cozy vibe
Organic Shapes & Textures
Nature continues to influence design trends, and in 2025, we’ll see more and more organic shapes and textures incorporated into design schemes. This trend moves away from the sharp angles and rigid lines of the past, embracing the curves and imperfections found in the natural world.
How to Add More Organic Shapes and Textures:
Curved Furniture: Sofas, chairs, and tables with rounded edges soften the overall feel of a room.
Natural Textures: Introduce textured fabrics like boucle or wool. These materials not only add visual interest but also create a tactile experience that makes the space feel more lived-in and comfortable.
Nature-Inspired Decor: Look for decorative items like vases, wall art, or ornaments with flowing, organic shapes that connect with nature on some level.
Natural Light: Where possible, embrace as much natural light in your space as possible.
Casual Comfort
With the rise of ‘work-from-home’ lifestyles, 2025 will continue to focus on achieving casual comfort within spaces. This type of design is all about creating spaces that are both stylish but liveable, combining functionality with comfort for optimal living.
Tips for Achieving Casual Comfort:
Seating: Invest in deep, cushioned sofas and chairs that invite relaxation. Oversized seating in soft fabrics like velvet or cotton blends create a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.
Layered Textiles: Layer up soft blankets, throw pillows, and rugs to make your space feel comfortable. Mixing different textures—like chunky knits, smooth linen, and sheepskin—adds warmth and coziness.
Relaxed Layouts: Opt for informal furniture arrangements that promote conversation and interaction. Think of creating cozy corners for reading or lounging, rather than rigid, formal layouts.
Rich Colours
Neutral palettes have dominated design for years, but in 2025, we’ll see a return to rich colours that make a bold, sophisticated statement. Deep, saturated hues like emerald green, sapphire blue, and the very on trend burgundy will take centre stage, bringing a sense of drama and opulence to interiors.
How to Use Rich Colours in Your Home:
Accent Walls: A deep, rich colour on a feature wall can create a striking focal point in any room. Emerald green or navy blue paired with soft furnishings in complementary tones make for a luxurious, inviting space.
Colour Drenching: Alternatively, a really effective application of rich colours is colour drenching; by committing to a paint colour and applying it all over your room, from top – bottom, ceiling and skirting boards too.
Bold Furniture Pieces: Introduce rich colours through key furniture items such as a velvet sofa, upholstered headboard, or statement armchair. These bold pieces can elevate an otherwise neutral space and add a touch of personality.
Accessorize with Colour: If you’re hesitant to commit to bold wall colors, you can still embrace this trend with colourful accessories like vases, artwork, or rugs in deep, moody hues.
Tortoiseshell Accessories
One of the more unique trends for 2025 is the resurgence of tortoiseshell accessories. This classic pattern is making a comeback in modern interiors, bringing a touch of vintage glamour and timeless sophistication to spaces. Tortoiseshell is versatile enough to work with both neutral and richly coloured schemes, adding depth and character.
Where to Incorporate Tortoiseshell:
Decorative Accessories: Look for tortoiseshell in smaller items like candles, picture frames, trays, or vases. These pieces add visual interest and a touch of luxury without overwhelming the space.
Lighting: Tortoiseshell finishes on lamp bases or chandeliers can introduce a subtle yet elegant nod to this trend.
Whether you’re planning a full redesign or simply looking to refresh a room, incorporating elements from these trends will keep your home feeling current, comfortable, and uniquely you!
