What's in and what's out. Here is a list of the top 5 interior design trends of 2025.
No 1: Scandic Bohemia
The Beginning of Warm Minimalism
Still rooted in minimalism, 2025's version brings warmth through earthy tones, soft textures and organic materials. Think clean lines balanced with a mix of vintage, exotic and DIY. Cozy textiles, clay finishes, and natural wood breach the perfection of minimalism, injecting a sophisticated yet casual flair.
Things to Look For:
• Exotic, unconventional single accent pieces
• Neutral colours broken by striking leather, sheepskin or woven elements
• Houseplants, handcrafted pieces, and large vases coupled with playful elements
• Accentuating splashes of colour in brown, orange, yellow and deep red
No 2: New Country
The Dawn of Wellness Spaces Using Sustainable Design
The longing for a slower pace of life, sustainability, sociability and naturalness is reflected by durable, traditional furniture made from authentic materials and equally authentic colours. Designers are prioritizing reclaimed materials, vintage furnishings and biodegradable finishes to create low-impact, high-style spaces. Design is bcoming more holistic; expect layouts and features that promote calm and balance. Biophilic design, integrated air purifiers, and mood-enhancing lighting are some key adaptations to encourage the overall wellness of the space and the people that inhabit them. Especially in urban spaces, the sweet smell of meadows and forests paired with nostalgic statement pieces and furnishings is quintessentially New Country.
Things to Look For:
• Solid wood furniture made from local woods, stained or with rough, untreated surfaces
• Authentic materials: wood, leather, fur, rattan, stone, ceramic and clay
• Numerous ornaments, old and new
• Earthy shades; beige, brown, teracotta, white and cream, antique pink, yellow, blue pastel
No 3: New Classics
Clean Lines Balanced with Textured Neutrals & Statement Pieces
Classic interiors get upgraded with textured layerings; plaster walls, bouclé fabrics, limewash paints and statement pieces. These spaces are not characterized by short-lived trends, but by high-quality furnishings that will retain their value for a long time to come. They are understated and unobtrusive but visually captivating.
Things to Look For:
• Classic, timeless pieces by well known designers and brands
• Tasteful, sophisticated materials: solid wood, leather, stone
• Indirect light; floor and table lamps, ambience lighting, lamp shades, & candelabras
• Muted colours - black, white, brown, beige
No 4: Brutal Maximalism
Mixed Era Styling, Emotional Colour Palettes, and Micro-Luxury Spaces
More is more. The opulence of this interior design style is characterized by imaginative decor elements, a daring mix of styles and rich colours. Sophisticated, playful furniture made from different materials, colour-coordinated with unusual fabrics and accessories to reveal an eye for design. 2025 celebrates personal expression through curated combinations of vintage, antique and modern pieces -- think mid-centry paired with brutalist. Maximalism is finding itself in smaller spaces like powder rooms. Bold wallpaper, high-end finishes and custom millwork adorn these micro-luxury spaces, giving life to Brutal Maximalism in the tiniest of spaces.
Things to Look For:
• Interiors characterized by a mix of styles from all periods
• Elegant fabrics such as velvet or bouclé, deep pile carpets, cushions and blankets
• Artfully arranged artwork, large-scale patterns and daring contrasts
• Chromatic colours with strong contrasts; deep, rich and bold
No 5: Precious Purism
Curated, Minimal Elegance to a Fault
Purism stands for the unspoiled and functional. Living environments are reduced, spartan and anonymous, there's a place for everything; there are few possessions, but these must be exceptional. Quality and outstanding craftsmanship are crucial. The style is characterized by the carefully considered joint impact of clean lines, exceptional statement stone, understated colours, and smart tech. Technology is more integrated and less visible, reducing all the fuss and frills in the interior space. Ornamentation is void with the exception of large, sculptural and oversized light fixtures. Lighting and stone become the art.
Things to Look For:
• Interiors characterized by a mix of styles from all periods
• Elegant fabrics such as velvet or bouclé, deep pile carpets, cushions and blankets
• Artfully arranged artwork, large-scale patterns and daring contrasts
• Chromatic colours with strong contrasts; deep, rich and bold
Never Looking Back: Interior Design Trends Leaving in 2025
• All white interiors -- sterile, minimal colour schemes
• Fast furniture -- disposable, low-quality pieces
• Overly minimal spaces -- sparse, ultra minimal designs
• Industrial chic -- harsh metals are being swapped for softer, organic materials
• Bouclé everything -- while still popular, the overuse is being toned down
• Gray-dominated palettes -- cool grays, especially in flooring
• Matching furniture sets -- uniformity is out
• Faux greenery -- real plants or low-maintenace alternatives are preferred
