From a biophilic style to colour drenching, with colourful maximalism and cozy minimalism in between, the latest interior design and decor trends cater to all.

On social media, trends come and go; getting a real idea of what’s here to stay can be tricky. The latter applies to everything where aesthetics plays a key part, whether that be fashion, makeup, or interior design.

To better understand your preferences with somewhat time-lasting trends, you must first examine what experts are forecasting closely. Hence, the advice proclaimed by some industry specialists is beyond helpful when mapping out the information provided.

Paint and Decor: What Is the Paint Colour Trend for 2025?

More than a few are expressing their thoughts regarding the upcoming colour trends for the year—furniture and decor stores like IKEA (Electric Blue), paint brands, such as Benjamin Moore (Cinnamon Slate) and Sico (Starry Night), and lastly, the ultimate authority on the matter: Pantone.

Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2025

This year, it’s Mocha Mousse (17-1230), a rich and warm shade of brown. It suits both minimalist aesthetics and classic or Zen decors. This colour adorns walls and accent pieces, drapery and decorative accessories. 

What Kitchen Colour Is Trending for 2025?

After surviving years of all-white kitchens prevailing, we’re seeing a strong colour comeback for this specific part of the house. Walls, cabinets, and other kitchen surfaces are embellished with various hints of colours. By consulting leading interior design authorities, we’re seeing a lot of brightly coloured kitchens, neutral bases with pops of colours, dark-painted kitchens, and light pastels. 

What Bedroom Wall Colour Is Trending for 2025?

Out with the white, in with soft shades of green, yellow, blue, or pink. If pastels aren’t your cup of tea, take a look at earthy tones (green, brown, ochre).

With that in mind, the most important criterion to foster relaxation in your bedroom is choosing shades that are favourable to sleep quality. For ceilings, walls, and floors, opting for a more muted colour palette is best, even if that means playing around with colourful decorative accents that appeal to you.

Wall Painting Techniques and Other Wall Coverings

Colour Drenching

This term is featured on most trend reports from leading industry publications. It literally means what it says: drenching one room in a single colour—with or without closely related tones. The idea is the create a space that’s completely flooded with the same shade, starting with the walls and ceiling that are painted with the same colour. If you live on the edge and are daring, opt for same-colour accessories and furniture to complete the desired effect.

Limewash or Faux Limewash

Try the faux limewash paint finish to give your walls texture. This technique gives off a slightly ethereal look, surrounded by clouds and subtle patterns. This paint technique is rather easy to DIY, but for flawless results, best to leave it to professionals. 

Wallpaper

Wallpaper is just as trendy as ever, even after its strong comeback after several decades of ranking among discarded trends. It’s featured throughout the house, and no room is left out—from the kitchen to a home office, with the bathroom in between. It’s easier than ever to install, especially since peel-and-stick wallpaper made its way onto the market.

Biophilic Style 

This look promotes the merging of humans and the outdoors by introducing nature-issued materials and items in interior home designs. The following comes to mind: 

• A lot of vegetation and houseplants

• Wooden and natural stone furniture and surfaces

• Light-welcoming openings

Connecting Inside Spaces with the Outdoors

Not unlike the biophilic style, we’re seeing a noticeable drive to combine a home’s inside and outside spaces. For example, we’re building easily retractable walls or doors, opening select rooms onto the outside, ensuring it becomes one with the home when the weather allows it.

Arched Doors and Windows

Gone are harsh, straight lines, make way for soft edges! Hence, arched home windows and doors are making a comeback, pairing different classic and modern architectural styles.

Comfortable Reading Nook and Calming Spaces

We all need a bit of peace and quiet in our lives, and to weave relaxing habits into our daily routine, we need spaces tailored to that mind space. A lot of interior designers are seeing a spike in requests for nap rooms or reading nooks, which often trump or add to other areas, such as the living room or home office.

Retro Patterns

Trends come and go, and after a few years of being regarded as outdated, some come back as strong as ever. This is what happened with patterns that were once considered retro. Such coloured and textured patterns, adorned with stripes and random shapes dating back to the ‘60s and ‘70s, maybe a bit of the ‘80s too, are depicted on decorative pieces, such as rugs, throw pillows, and curtains. This trend is either showcased sparingly, with hints of colour, or plentifully, if you’re looking to create a maximalist decor. 

Comforting and Cozy Minimalism

The minimalist aesthetic has evolved over the last couple of years. We’ve seen Scandinavian- or Japanese-inspired minimalism, a classic or contemporary minimalism too. In 2025, the minimalist aesthetic is all about soft and rich hues, and round shapes (e.g., arched doorways), with the sole purpose of creating cocoon-like spaces in which the home’s occupants feel safe.

Colourful Maximalism

Over the last few years, the maximalist aesthetic went viral and was especially supported by those who just couldn’t find satisfaction in muted home decor. Some people enjoy being surrounded by varied textures, unique objects, and eclectic colours. In 2025, it's all about colour drenching (see above), antique furniture, and extra large area rugs. 

Interior Design 2025: Decorative Accents

Are you craving change but would rather focus on decorative accents instead of overhauling a specific room in your house? Here are some ideas gathered amongst the trends that are likely to have the biggest impact when revamping your decor.

Statement Light Fixtures

Statement light fixtures are characterized by their eye-catching look, whether it’s the size of the fixture itself, its colours, or its structure. The statement piece then becomes the room’s focal feature, grabbing everyone’s attention. Moreover, we’re seeing a lot of these bold light fixtures overhanging dining room tables or living rooms, but also blending perfectly in a bedroom setting or transition areas like mudrooms and hallways.

Gallery Wall

This trend has been around for several years now and, given its versatility, isn’t going anywhere soon. A plain wall-turned-art gallery, stunned and became beyond sophisticated over the years. It’s an eclectic idea, featuring a variety of frames and artwork depicting a cohesive series of images that are similarly-themed and hung in identical or differing frames.

For stunning results, it’s important to consider the installation’s configuration and the art or photos depicted. It can be done on a computer or piece of paper, allowing you to preview the set up before hammering that first frame.

Brick Backsplashes

Some are lucky enough to have exposed brick walls in their home. For those who are looking to add this material, especially as a backsplash behind kitchen cabinets, faux brick wall panelling is something to consider. It’s an affordable option that’s not as complex as building a real brick-and-mortar wall.

Colourful Patterned Fabrics

Whether you prefer a minimalist or maximalist aesthetic, there’s a way to add colourful patterned fabrics while adhering to trend-specific characteristics. We’re seeing this trend skyrocket as home decor retailers are favouring said fabrics over others.

You can opt to combine patterns or choose to focus on a single one, playing around with your couch fabric, curtains, throw pillows, table linens, and comforter.

Here are the most sought-after patterns of the moment:

• Stripes

• Vintage flowers (William Morris-inspired)

• Geometric shapes

• Tartan

• Checkers 

Giant Houseplants

Houseplants have crowded home interior decor trends for years now. They’re pretty, add life inside homes, and make for healthier indoor settings. The current trend calls for having giant houseplants in common areas around your home, such as the living room and dining area.

Textured Walls and Ceilings

Plaster moulding, layered paints, and textured wallpaper make for an appealing visual accent on walls and other surfaces around the house. Keeping up with uncluttered walls, classic wall coverings are resurfacing, even in rather modern decors. Such textures make for a warm home setting, which people need more than ever.

Concealed Range Hoods

Range hoods are far from appealing kitchen features. It’s quite the opposite—it has a utilitarian design, and more often than not, we’d rather just not see it. The latter is something a lot of interior designers sought to achieve over the last few years, turning it into an increasingly popular trend in modern kitchens.

Pattern-Rich Area Rugs

After years of favouring neutral-coloured and patterned rugs, we’re seeing a lot of design-heavy ones. It seems like everyone has a Persian rug, or one featuring stripes, retro shapes, or patterns designed by famous interior designers and brands like Iris Apfel and Jungalow. They work well within simple decors or amongst a collection of eclectic items for a maximalist look.

Furniture Trends for 2025

Unique Furniture Designs

Originality and smart designs are at the forefront of all furniture trends for 2025. We’re seeing a need for multipurpose furniture. Bold and daring shapes are also trending, which peaked in the ‘80s. IKEA’s Nytillverkad collection comes to mind, putting a modern touch on old designs bringing out the unusual shapes that marked decades past.

Upcycling Old Furniture 

Instead of buying new furniture, why not revamp old pieces? This ongoing trend has a sense of permanence in 2025 and isn’t likely to go anywhere since a lot of people are preoccupied with scaling back in favour of upcycling. Furniture is kept longer with little revamps, either by using paint, polish, or refurbishing if need be.

Rounded Shapes

We already mentioned round or arched doorways and windows, but there’s a lot more to this trend that’s yet to be uncovered! Curves are also ever-present in terms of furniture, whether sofas, tables, or bookcases. It’s such a juxtaposition compared to the more linear trendy concepts favoured back in the early aughts (2000–2010).

On-Trend Flooring Options 2025

When it comes to choosing a flooring option, you can, without a doubt, follow trends, but choosing a material that will appeal to you long-term is paramount since it’s not something you’ll be changing in the near future. So, let’s take a look at current trends to determine what options might suit your home for the foreseeable future.

Two-Tone Tiles

Kitchens with two-tone floor tiles are very reminiscent of ‘50s retro diners or the ‘80s Memphis design style, highlighting a retro aesthetic. While shelved for years in favour of a more uniform look, 2025 is seeing a revival of bolder, more daring looks. Designers are finding ways of merging this type of flooring with all aesthetics, from farmhouse kitchens to bohemian dining rooms, with rustic mudrooms in between.

Wood and Other Natural Materials

For a couple of years, grey-hued and dark-coloured wood prevailed. Naturally, a lot of natural materials were used, but their look was far from what one would actually see in nature. Nowadays, we’re banking on restoring authenticity, which is consistent with the biophilic style. Wood floors benefit from a lighter protective coating, allowing the wood’s imperfections to seep through. The same applies to other nature-issued materials, such as stone.

Dark or Wood-Accented Kitchens

White kitchens aren’t necessarily outdated but darker colours are trending in this specific area of the house. Some will dare paint their kitchen cabinets dark brown, while others will opt for a deep green or navy blue. 

Dark wood cabinet doors are coming back strong, creating a dimmed and Zen ambience in a widely used space. 

Living Room Decor 2025: Craving Something Different?

If you feel compelled to transform your living room, yet are lacking in the ideas department, here are the trendiest living room aesthetics for 2025:

• Nature-inspired decor: Plants, natural materials, secondhand furniture, floral or organic patterns, earth tones.

• Cozy look: Everything revolves around comfort, between a snug, cushy couch, we’re adding soft blankets and throw pillows, completing the look with a soft area rug.

• Maximalist living room: We’re mixing colours, textures, one-of-a-kind lamp shades, as well as new and retro furniture in an attempt to find the right balance.

Bathroom Design Trends for 2025: What to Know?

While not the room that sees the most foot traffic throughout the day (but, who are we to say?), it’s still a vital space suited to a slew of daily activities. As such, your bathroom has to be appealing, while still designed ergonomically. Here are some worthwhile trends to adopt during your next bathroom renovation project:

• Mixed metal finishes (gold, brass, silver, chrome, bronze)

• Warm wood cabinets

• Marble countertops

• Round mirrors and light fixtures

• Colourful decorative accents or bold textures for visual impact

• Timeless designs since you’re not going to want to revamp your bathroom every two years

How to Design a Home Office in 2025

Home offices have been rampant since 2020, at a time when working remotely became a lot of people’s new normal. Five years later, there’s a massive shift back to traditional offices, but in hybrid mode. Homeowners still need a space to work from home yet aren’t using it full-time.

To maximize the utilitarian purpose of a home office, you have to turn it into a multipurpose room. The office can double as a playroom, creative space, guest bedroom, or extra storage space. The furniture is selected for its optimized aspect based on the available space and intended use.

Winter 2025 Home Decor

When reading this article, most of you will already have taken down your Christmas or holiday decorations. However, winter is far from over and adding brightly lit decorative features can have a positive impact on your well-being. That said, consider setting up specially designed decorative and lit accents to add some light to your house during those dark and gloomy winter months.

Mirrors, solar lamps, lanterns, candles (real or fake), houseplants—now these are just a few ideas to add to your interior decor to create a setting that promotes one’s well-being during the harsh, cold months.

What is slow decorating?

Slow decorating is a concept that consists of slowly choosing one’s interior decoration, and selecting each and every item with care. This offsets the frantic pace at which homeowners want to get stuff done. Instead, we’re taking our time to choose what really appeals to us, asking ourselves the right questions before adding decorative features; we’re also comparing each item’s material, price point, and alternative options. Now more than ever, 2025 is all about slow decorating!
