As we move through 2025, it’s exciting to see how interior design continues to evolve. While we reflect on the styles that shaped the past year, it’s even more exciting to embrace the trends defining homes right now.
Why is it helpful to stay informed about current design movements? While you don’t need to completely transform your space, keeping up with fresh ideas ensures your home feels modern and inspired. The best part? You can incorporate new trends in a way that suits you—whether through small updates or a full-scale redesign.
No matter how you choose to refresh your home, your personal style should always come first. There are countless ways to blend new trends with your existing aesthetic, creating a space that feels both timeless and on-trend. Consider this guide your insider look at the interior design movements shaping 2025!
8 Interior Design Trends To Pay Attention To
It’s impossible to predict exactly what people will want in their homes months in advance, but there are patterns that we can pay attention to that show us what way interior design trends are leaning. Here are some of the top trends that you may want to consider for your home:
1. Traditional Colors
Color trends for 2025 are shifting from the long-reigning cool grays to warm, inviting earthy tones — especially brown. Pantone’s Color of the Year is Mocha Mousse, and many other home palettes are following suit.
Other colors that will be sharing the crown include:
- Caramel.
- Sage green.
- Burnt orange.
- Blue.
- Deep teal.
- Dusty red.
There’s a large emphasis on natural colors and outdoor elements that bring a serene and calming influence to your indoor environment. And, of course, these colors can work for all seasons and times of the year, making them beautiful choices for every room.
2. Curved Furniture and Design Features
Curves and arches have been a staple in design, and their popularity continues to grow. When used thoughtfully, soft, rounded shapes add a touch of luxury and sophistication to any space. From upholstered furniture and elegant beds to cabinetry and arched doorways, this trend enhances both style and flow.
Incorporating curved elements creates a sense of movement, making a space feel more inviting and dynamic. Some stylish ways to embrace this trend include curved headboards in master bedrooms, geometric coffee tables with sculptural legs, and sleek armoires for stylish storage in dining rooms.
3. Mixes of Vintage and Modern Pieces
Blending timeless vintage furniture with modern touches is always a winning combination. Think tables with ornate legs, dressers with crown molding, and intricate detailing that add a classic charm to any space. This refreshed take on traditional design is making a comeback, effortlessly complementing contemporary decor.
By embracing this approach, your home maintains a sense of enduring elegance that never goes out of style. And if you’re ever in the mood for a refresh, swapping out a few accessories or fixtures is an easy way to keep things feeling new while preserving the timeless appeal.
4. Natural Materials
Natural materials are taking center stage in 2025, bringing warmth, texture, and an organic feel to interior design. Sustainable elements like stone, wood, and woven fibers create a grounded, nature-inspired aesthetic that enhances any space. To embrace this trend, consider replacing synthetic finishes with natural stone countertops, wooden furniture featuring unique grain patterns, or woven jute rugs for a refined yet inviting look.
And there’s no need to limit yourself to just one material—mixing textures is key this year. Pairing teak, rattan, and stone adds depth and dimension, resulting in a beautifully layered, organic design.
5. Blended-In Home Tech
Smart homes are here to stay, but in the new year, technology will more easily blend into your existing design. Think hidden speakers, recessed lighting with smart controls, and home tech that integrates without overpowering the aesthetic. Picture mirrors with concealed digital screens or motorized shades that look just like traditional ones — functional yet beautiful.
While technology is useful, it can sometimes be an eye-sore when placed among your home decor. Instead of having one color for every type of technology — black or silver — companies are finding ways to increase personalization and customization for every type of home.
6. Textured Walls and Ceilings
Flat walls and ceilings are taking a backseat as textured surfaces become more popular. From limewash and Venetian plaster to intricate wallpaper and exposed beams, texture creates depth and visual interest. These details can make a room feel more dynamic and personalized while staying on-trend.
Other popular techniques include stucco, shiplap and reclaimed wood panels. If you don’t love the natural wood colors, this is a great place to add a pop of color with paint.
7. High-Class Bathrooms
Bathrooms are no longer just functional spaces — they’re becoming luxurious retreats. Expect to see more spa-like features adorning ensuites such as soaking tubs, rainfall showers and heated floors paired with opulent finishes like marble, brass fixtures and ambient lighting. Add soft touches like plush towels and curated decor to complete the look.
To elevate your space even further, include features like water circuits, sauna steam rooms and cold plunges. These have gained traction as personal wellness remains in the spotlight. Why pay for a membership to a spa or gym when you could have some of these amenities in your home bathroom?
8. Indoor-Outdoor Living
In 2025, outdoor living is more popular than ever, and the seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces continues to be a key design focus. Expect to see large glass doors, outdoor kitchens, and open-concept living areas that flow effortlessly onto patios and decks. The biophilic design trend is also inspiring beautifully curated outdoor spaces, perfect for alfresco dining, backyard gatherings, and cozy bonfires under the stars.
Bringing nature indoors is just as important. Lush greenery and abundant natural light help create this harmonious connection. Try decorating with large ferns, bright succulents, or potted herbs on your kitchen windowsill. And if keeping plants alive isn’t your strong suit, high-quality faux greenery is a great alternative for adding a fresh, natural touch.
Staying Fashionable Without Losing Your Personal Style
Staying true to yourself is key to feeling comfortable and at home in your space. However, doing so can be difficult if you’re simply trying to stay on top of what’s in style. To help you make informed decisions about your home’s design and layout and love the final result, here are a few tips:
Identify Trends That Align With You
Not all trends will resonate with you. If you attempt to implement looks that don’t feel comfortable, it will result in the space feeling phony and unrealistic. Instead, focus on those that complement your existing style and feel authentic to your personality.
Use Trends in Small Doses
Rather than throwing on a pair of goggles and diving headfirst, try dipping your toes into the year’s top-performing styles. Experiment with trendy colors, patterns or materials in easily replaceable items like throw pillows, rugs or vases.
Prioritize Functionality
Ensure that trendy furniture or layouts still meet your functional needs. You don’t want to be stuck sitting on a chaise lounge that’s not comfortable or trying to cram a sectional sofa that doesn’t fit in your living room design. Adapt trends to work with how you live, whether it’s durable fabrics for families or modular furniture for small spaces.
Choose a Few Statement Pieces
Avoid overwhelming your living space with various trends. Instead, focus on one or two items per room, like an ornate dining room chair set or a high-tech light fixture. That way, your home design doesn’t feel disjointed and you can decide what pieces work for you and which trends you might leave behind.
Incorporate Colors and Materials You Love
It can be tricky to blend multiple aesthetics into one. That’s why it’s beneficial to try out trending colors and materials that complement your favorite shades already present in your house. This will ensure your place still feels comfortable rather than booting out all your beloved pieces and styles.
Try incorporating this color trend into your bedroom.
