Top Interior Design Trends for 2025
Stay ahead of the curve with these upcoming interior design trends.
Trends may come and go, but creating a home that you love will always be in style. The top interior design trends for 2025 are centered around sustainable themes that use natural materials and refresh aesthetics from decades past. Comfortable and relaxing interiors where you can rest and recharge, and where families can thrive, are the heart of this year's interior design trends. Ultra-popular styles like modern-farmhouse and mid-century modern will take a step back so styles like organic modern can shine. While neutral palettes will always create gorgeous interiors, bold earthy colors will step into the spotlight with trending techniques like color drenching. Read on to learn about 2025’s interior design and home decor trends and get inspired to transform your home.
1. Welcoming in Warm Colors
This year is all about creating welcoming spaces with warm, earthy color palettes. We’re trading beige neutrals for bold saturated colors like moss green, navy blue, chocolatey brown, and deep burgundy. These warm and inviting colors still pair well with creamy neutrals, which will help keep your space from feeling too dark. If you’re not ready to drench your walls in a bold earthy hue, go for a moss green wallpapered accent wall or bedding in a similar tone. Break up the bold colors with accents like ivory colored drapes or a tan area rug.
Chocolate brown will reign as the top earthy hue for interior design in 2025. We will see this smooth color show up in paint, wallpaper, furniture, and in rich wood finishes. Incorporate this dreamy earth tone into your space with a chocolatey brown sofa paired with comfy accent chairs and dark brown wood end tables. If you’re feeling up for a DIY project, consider installing rich brown wood paneling on your walls or ceiling for added depth and texture.
As we wave goodbye to previously ultra- popular styles like modern farmhouse, and mid-century modern, we can’t wait to embrace 2025’s new modern: organic modern. This style is minimalistic at heart and combines contemporary modern designs with natural materials, and nostalgia-inducing accents. The organic modern aesthetic is a beautiful blend of old and new, human comforts and organic pieces. This year’s interiors are all about showcasing retro character.
While this style pulls inspiration from mid-century modern, we will see interior decor begin to lean towards a comforting 90’s aesthetic as well. Organic modern style offers a smooth transition from previously trending styles because you can achieve the look by switching out a few pieces of furniture without a complete overhaul. Revive that end table that’s been sitting in your attic since the early 2000’s. If you’re starting from scratch, try a round wood coffee table or a plush plaid sofa in an earthy hue to achieve an authentic upcycled look that’s full of character.

4. Creating Cozy Minimalist Spaces
Minimalism isn’t going anywhere in 2025, it’s just getting a little cozier. Comforting and relaxing spaces are a major theme for interior decor this year – bring on the Scandinavian minimalism with an extra helping of hygge. This year’s elevated take on bare-bones minimalism will blend the clean relaxing vibes of Scandinavian and Japandi styles with historical styles like American colonial and formal French-style interiors. Choose simple but comfortable furniture like a plush sectional or sofa chaise to achieve a clean look. Soft textured throws like faux fur, velvet, or fleece in neutral tones will enhance your cozy vibes without cluttering up your space.

5. Emphasizing Wellness With Spa-Like Spaces
Prioritize wellness this year by incorporating spa-like spaces in your home. With an emphasis on themes of wellness and relaxation, 2025 is the perfect time to upgrade your bathroom to a home spa. Natural materials are big this year, and ceramic and marble tiles and countertops are perfect for relaxing bathrooms. Invest in a freestanding tub where you can enjoy long soaks and some reading with a bath caddy and bath pillow. Plush bath towels are a must-have for any home spa, while a towel warmer elevates your bubble bath. Upgrade your bathroom experience with easy-to-install luxuries like a toilet seat bidet or a freestanding sauna.
With the focus on wellness and spending time at home, kitchens will be the focus of a lot of home renovation in 2025. Memories are made in the spaces that we gather, and everyone deserves a space to test out recipes, cook nourishing meals, and gather with loved ones. If you’ve been thinking about starting your next kitchen DIY project, or investing in new appliances, now is the perfect time. Don’t be daunted by big renovations: learn all you need to know about how to remodel a kitchen before you decide to put off your dream space any longer. Take things one step at a time – installing a new tile backsplash, new cabinets, or upgrading your refrigerator or range can make a huge impact on your space. Coming up with a solid plan is the first step to creating a space that you love.

7. Making Maximalism Your Own
Maximalism looks a little different in 2025 – it will incorporate the bold color trend with a new emphasis on individual style. Maximalist style this year will move away from the traditional boho, dark academia, and dopamine decor–style clutter that has captivated creative home decor enthusiasts in the past. In 2025, focus on finding your own carefully curated style and really leaning into it. If you’ve dreamed of designing an eclectic home haven, start by incorporating a mix of decor you love with personal artwork and photography. Choose decorative objects in themes that appeal to your interests, whether that be abstract, vintage, or animal-themed sculptures. Design gallery walls with a mix of purchased wall art, photographs from your favorite trips, and framed vintage family photos. Individualism goes beyond decor – mix and match furniture styles, colors, and patterns to create a truly unique maximalist style this year.

8. Making Vintage the New Retro
With the new wave of nostalgic home design, we’re seeing a shift from beloved mid-century modern furniture and are instead embracing gorgeous 1920’s and 1930’s style decor, furniture, and patterns. This is great news for Art Deco lovers! If you love the vintage look but aren’t too keen on the glam aesthetic, focus on classic quality pieces of furniture and demure patterns to create an understated vintage look. Four-poster wood beds and classic open-frame metal beds are perfect for setting a vintage scene. Wallpaper with geometric diamond- or scale-shaped patterns or simple florals can help you achieve a vintage look without overwhelming your space.
Biophilic home design will continue to thrive in 2025. This interior design style emphasizes the inclusion of nature in the home through live houseplants, floral arrangements, and natural materials in furniture and decor. This year we’re shifting away from decorating with faux plants and are focusing on cultivating live decor, so stock up on planters, plant stands, and indoor gardening accessories. Take advantage of outdoor blooms in spring and summer and arrange flowers in decorative vases for fresh indoor decor and centerpieces. If traditional potted plants aren’t your thing, try designing a terrarium to bring some nature-based joy into your home.

10. Setting the Stage With Ornate Lighting
Spaces in 2025 will be centered around eye-catching lighting. Ornate lighting is trending, but that doesn’t mean you have to run out and buy the fanciest chandelier you can find. Focus on simple yet artful lighting that serves not only as a light source, but also as a centerpiece. Artful lighting prioritizes sculpture-like fixtures and shades. This year is seeing a resurgence of Murano glass pendant lights, but if you’ve been looking for an excuse to upgrade your lighting to an ornate chandelier, there is certainly room within the vintage interior design trend.
Interior design trends in 2025 are all about creating a relaxing space where you can thrive, while also making sure the earth and our natural environment can thrive as well. Sustainable furniture and decor has been on an upward trend and it’s only accelerating. Incorporate this earth-friendly trend by choosing sustainable materials and energy-efficient appliances. Look for furniture made of sustainable materials like a reclaimed wood coffee table or vegan leather accent chairs. Pair furniture with area rugs made of natural materials like bamboo, sisal and jute, and choose LED lightbulbs for beautifully lit and energy-efficient spaces.

12. Sticking With Curved Lines
If you love modern-style furniture you’ll be glad to hear that curved lines and rounded edges aren’t going anywhere. This year’s interior design is leaning into curved lines with dome-shaped lighting, curved furniture, and decor. We will even see a resurgence in arch-shaped windows, doors, hutches, and book cases – now is the time to decorate and furnish that alcove in your home. Relax and recharge with soft modern surroundings. If you want to lean into round interiors, go for a plush modern style sofa, accent chairs, or modern upholstered beds and benches for cloud-like bedrooms.
As warm saturated colors dominate, so will color drenching. Color drenching is an interior design technique that includes painting walls, trim, and even ceilings the same color or similar shades. Drenching creates bold yet dreamy interiors that are made for deep rest and relaxation. Wallpaper is just as big as color drenching this year, and it will be used on walls and ceilings to create rooms full of depth and texture. For an elevated version of color drenching, you can pair patterned wallpaper with ceilings and trim of the same hues. Avoid a space that feels flat by adding layers and depth to your walls and ceilings with ceiling tiles and wall paneling before painting.
Patterns are in this year; don’t be afraid to mix and layer them. Juxtapose wall patterns with area rugs and throws. Pair a simply sweet floral wallpaper with a striped area rug and striped throw pillows. Have fun mixing and matching geometric shapes, squiggly lines, and florals in wallpapers, bedding, and area rugs. Choose peel and stick or strippable wallpaper for easy installation and removal if you’re prone to changing your mind or like to switch things up often.
This year is all about interiors that you can interact with and designing spaces that engage all the senses. Choose furniture and decor that appeals to touch, sound, smell, and vision. Use the ancient art of feng-shui to create visually appealing layouts. Enlist textured area rugs, fabrics, and wallpapers to provide a tactile experience. Create soothing sounds with crackling fires in fireplaces or trickling water from indoor fountains, and use scented candles or diffusers to help you relax with aroma therapy.
Unobtrusive technology that makes our lives easier and blends in with the decor is a major trend in interior design right now. With tons of options for smart-enabled appliances, lighting, and heating, it has never been easier to control appliances remotely and save energy. Smart-enabled appliances can add functionality to your home and help with managing your household. Smart hub refrigerators allow you to communicate with family members, view fridge contents without opening the door, and connect with other smart devices in your home. Smart-enabled ACs and thermostats save energy by allowing you to control temperatures remotely and schedule them to conserve energy when no one is home. Furniture like end tables and nightstands with built-in outlets and charging ports for devices allows you to bring technology virtually anywhere in your home.
The focus on creating restorative spaces to gather and focus on wellbeing extends outside of the home. Blending indoor and outdoor spaces will be a major trend for 2025 interior design. Create sheltered gathering spaces on balconies and patios where family and friends can easily go back and forth to enjoy the benefits of nature and the beauty of lovingly curated homes. Easily create sheltered spaces and a smooth transition with pergolas, outdoor canopies, and awnings. Choose patio sets that mesh seamlessly with indoor spaces and make the most of outdoor spaces with grills, hot tubs, and outdoor decor.
