Constantly changing, one day after another, interior design trends are getting more personal in 2025. Nevertheless, with a variety of trending styles, authenticity in design still has its place. Things like quiet luxury and vintage aesthetics still have staying power. If you would like to know what’s trending in 2025, here are ten interior design trends that are taking centre stage this year.

Rich Colour Palettes

Muted colours aren’t trending this year; instead, they are being replaced by rich colour palettes like deep greens, moody blues, and luxurious plums. Also trending this year are earthy tones with a lot of warm browns, terracotta, and muted taupe, along with unexpected shades like olive green and deep reds. These colours give homes a new meaning, creating a real sense of richness and intimacy that makes a home feel more like a sanctuary. These colours can be applied to accent walls, upholstered furniture, and even bold statement pieces.

Texture Everywhere

Designers concur that 2025 is the year to make any level of your home stand out by adding more texture. Some of this year’s trending textures include wallpapers and linen papers with an organic, elevated touch beyond the standard finish. Also, trending are natural materials, tactile finishes, and 3D wall panels, along with layered fabrics and metallic finishes that add depth.

Lived in Luxury

Designer Ryan Saghian says that many people are leaving traditional luxury and opting for more nuanced aesthetics with a mix of vintage and modern. Elements like hand-carved wood, natural stone, and woven textiles, along with aged metals, are all making a statement this year. These elements make a home feel warm and genuine.

Pattern Drenching

Pattern drenching relies on the “more is more” approach. Often considered a maximalist design feature; it includes layering an area, whether it is wallpaper, rugs, or a ceiling, with a cohesive set of patterns and tones. Have you ever wondered what type of pattern is trending this year? Interior designer Amy Switzer says stripes are having a big moment. This trend can be applied in several ways, either in monochromatic or tonal stripes, using varying shades.

Bespoke Interiors

Bespoke interiors are trending this year; they don’t necessarily follow a specific design style, but rather, they are tailored to your needs. This design trend emphasizes personalized solutions and aesthetic vision. Several designers agree that many homeowners want spaces that reflect their own sense of style rather than ongoing design trends.

Wellness in Design

One of the lessons that the pandemic taught people is that their home is their sanctuary. Having spent countless hours at home, many people want more wellness features included. To that end, designers say that there is a growing focus on restorative spaces with deliberate emphasis on a multi-sensory experience. For example, many bathrooms now include a full spa experience, with a specific focus on wellness. Several designers are also getting requests for spaces within a home that could be used for meditation, workouts, or relaxation, replete with natural lighting, air purification, and calming colour palettes.

Ergonomic Design

Many homes are increasingly incorporating ergonomic features that will see homes age gracefully along with their owners. For example, designers say that they are getting requests for one-touch powered cabinets, pull-down shelving, and user-friendly hardware.

Vintage Finds

Ever timeless antiques and vintage items continue to have a place in interior design trends. Many still have a growing appreciation for timeless pieces that can add a sense of character to a home. Pieces can be bought at antique shops, while others are passed on as heirlooms. Whichever way you choose to display and collect them, antiques have the power to accentuate a space and add a touch of rich history.

Statement Lighting

Geometric statement lights are all in this year. Some of the trending shapes include chevron, diamond, or triangle patterns. You can also choose lighting with symmetrical lines and details for a more harmonious look, all of which can elevate the look and feel of your home.

Plants

The power of green still enamours people; indeed, what would a home be without plants? Known to give a dose of life to any space, plants are a popular choice this year. There is undeniable organic beauty in their presence, whether it is in the breakfast nook, clerestory windows, or the living room.
