As 2024 comes to a close, many of us will be looking to spruce up our homes for the new year, but finding that spark of inspiration can be tough. You don’t want to commit to a style only for it to feel outdated in a few months. Luckily, we’ve compiled some interior design trends that we predict will be here to stay for 2025, so you can beat the crowds and make your home look effortlessly stylish ahead of everyone else. Here are 9 interior trends for 2025 that you can be the first to take advantage of.
1. Perennially popular green
Green is perfect for pretty much any room, with its versatile palette and comforting atmosphere. Whether you’re going for a muted pistachio shade or a luxurious emerald green, now is the time to get the paint rollers out and start finding your perfect hue.
It also lends itself well to furniture, with a green sofa offering a strong focal point for a room, and works just as well for walls, curtains, and other decorations. For more inspiration, be sure to read our guide on how to style a green sofa.
2. Member’s club interiors
Member’s clubs are the height of sophisticated, chic design, but they’re also a friendly space to socialise. With luxurious upholstery, furniture that blurs the line between old and new, and subtly warm tones like oxblood and brown, they look elegant and high-class without going overboard on the detail.
This look is already starting to enter many homes, but 2025 seems set to be the year that member’s club-style décor will really break through. Swap your drawers and desks for ones with more tactile surfaces, and switch to stunning statement lighting to let those textures shine. The right eye for detail can transform your interior into a smart but playful space. If you’re looking to recreate that exclusive member’s club feeling at home, the new year is the perfect time to pick up a new project.
3. Nostalgic comfort
With plenty of fashion houses focusing on nostalgia with their recent collections, you can expect interior trends in 2025 to follow suit. We all find a bit of comfort in reflecting on the past, so the right palette and furniture can help bring a cosy throwback atmosphere to any home.
Nostalgic décor can bring back that childlike comfort from your younger years, or memories of late nights-in as a teenager. Muted, welcoming shades like muddy pinks and dusty blues can add a splash of colour to your room without overwhelming the rest of your décor or standing out too much from the crowd.
In terms of furniture, you can opt for timeless designs that don’t over-modernise your room, or use open shelving and gallery walls to put your belongings that evoke those warm feelings on full display.
4. Biophilic design
We all love being in our homes, but sometimes we wish we could bring the refreshing beauty of the outdoors back inside with us, and biophilic design is forecasted to be a hot topic for interior design in 2025.
These styles give your room a life of its own by decking your shelves windowsills, and corners with plants for a calming and inviting atmosphere. Make sure to give your room plenty of fresh air and natural light so that your plants can thrive, as a few small pots doesn’t compare to a luscious miniature garden inside your home.
Pair your biophilic room plan with naturally occurring textures like wood and stone to make your plant life look right at home. Your plants can also add a dash of colour to a room, so make sure to choose a palette that pairs nicely with a deep, leafy green.
5. Layered lighting
As lighting technology improves, more of us are waving goodbye to that big central light and embracing alternative ways to let our rooms shine. Instead of giving your interior one source of light, why not try layering multiple sources to add texture to your room without needing to take up more space with furniture?
Try blending your central light with wall fixtures to highlight certain areas, or backlighting your furniture with LED strips to make your favourite statement pieces pop in the dark. You can even get creative with your shades, as developments in smart technology can now let you change your lighting’s colour remotely. Whether you want to add a regal dash of purple to your room, or a futuristic neon blue, lighting can be just the trick to subtly tweak your design.
6. Embracing maximalism
The keyword of design for the last several years has been minimalism – stripping your designs back to give what’s left extra meaning and impact. It’s not the only way to style a room, however, and maximalist designs could be one of the biggest interior trends that 2025 has to offer.
Instead of following the ‘less is more’ philosophy, maximalist rooms use bold contrasting colours, striking statement pieces, and plenty of decoration to add life to every corner of your room. Finding the right balance without overwhelming or overcrowding your space can be a tough task, but by spacing your décor out enough and using your palette sensibly, you can design an interior that demands attention.
7. Integrating tech into your home
The convenience of modern technology can’t be overstated, but sometimes it can ruin a room’s ambience. With noisy machines, huge designs taking up your space, and pesky wires that never seem to stay in control of themselves, working tech into your home can be an annoyance and an eyesore.
There are alternatives, however, as more tech companies are offering sleek and minimal designs that blend effortlessly into a modern interior. A thin wall-mounted TV can add convenience to your living room while looking just as stylish, or a tactically hidden area for your TV box and gaming consoles can reduce clutter. When buying gadgets for your home, think about how they’ll look in their surroundings, as 2025 is set to be a big year for developments in home technology.
8. Earthy tones and pops of colour
Interior trends for 2025 will look to stay grounded, with contrasting pops of colour to add warmth or comfort. Expect to see plenty of deep, earthy tones such as browns and beiges to give a room extra texture without becoming too absorbed in one shade. These hues fit especially well with biophilic interior design and dark green shades that we’ve previously mentioned, so make sure to combine your palette with our other projected trends to go all-out on a natural atmosphere.
9. Unusual shapes
Over time, interior design has become much less uniform, and you can expect that trend to continue into the next year. The influence of retro revival will likely hold strong, with plenty of curved sofas and soft-edged tables still looking great in homes, but the softness and asymmetry will likely be the focus points of the new year’s designs.
With low back sofas, chunky armrests, and curved designs in dining rooms becoming increasingly popular, you could summarise 2025 as the year of unusual shapes in interior design. Don’t be afraid to experiment with form, as those straight edges and sleek lines can leave your room feeling lifeless if overdone. These funky designs are best complemented with a mix of textures and shades too, so avoid keeping things too monotone as you incorporate weird and wonderful designs into your home.
