2025 Interior Design Trends: What’s In, What’s Out, and How to Make It Yours
Hey there! So, I’ve been diving into what’s coming our way for 2025 in the world of interior design, and I just have to share. Think of this as a little catch-up chat about what’s going to be big next year and how you can get that on-trend vibe without feeling like you’re living in a showroom. Let’s get into it!
1. Bold Color Comeback
Okay, so you know how neutrals have been reigning for what feels like forever? Well, in 2025, colors are back in full force—but it’s not just any colors. We’re talking bold blues, rich burgundy, forest greens, and even sunny yellows. It’s all about bringing that depth and personality back into our homes. If you’re like me and a little hesitant about bright walls, start with accessories—maybe a throw blanket or some bold art that’s easy to switch out.

2. Maximalism, But Make It Personal
Minimalism’s been fun, but 2025 is saying “more is more.” Not in a cluttered way, though—it’s more about showcasing things that actually mean something to you. It’s time to bring out those vintage finds, books (you know I love a good stack of books for styling), and personal mementos. The key is to layer thoughtfully—mix different textures, patterns, and pieces that tell your story. Your home should look like it grew over time, not like you bought everything last week.

3. Natural Materials with a Twist
We’ve all loved rattan, wicker, and anything with a natural vibe. Next year, this trend is evolving into something a bit more eclectic. Think natural stone tables, reclaimed wood shelving, or a mix of raw and polished elements. Imagine a rough, unfinished wood table paired with velvet dining chairs—it’s about balancing the rustic with something a bit more luxurious.

4. The Year of Sculptural Furniture
Sculptural and curvy furniture is huge for 2025, bringing a bit of an artistic edge to everyday spaces. Sofas with rounded edges, wavy mirrors, or even a funky lamp can add a ton of interest. And don’t think you need to go overboard—a single curvy chair can make a serious statement in a room.

5. Warm Metals
Chrome and silver had their moment, but warm metals are making a strong return. Brushed brass, antique gold, and even copper are perfect for adding warmth without feeling too flashy. Think of swapping out those kitchen drawer pulls or adding a gold-framed mirror to the entryway. It’s those small changes that can really give your home an updated feel without a full reno.

6. Dark Academia, But Make It Cozy
If you’re into the whole “dark academia” aesthetic, 2025 is your year. We’re seeing dark wood paneling, built-in bookshelves, and rich fabrics like leather and velvet becoming the go-to for creating that sophisticated yet cozy vibe. Picture curling up in a deep green velvet armchair with a good book in a room filled with warm wood tones—that’s the mood. And if you’re short on space, a corner with a dark wood side table and a moody lamp can give a similar effect.

7. Sustainable & Vintage Finds
Sustainability isn’t going anywhere, and thank goodness for that! Vintage shopping is not only eco-friendly, but it also adds uniqueness to your space that’s impossible to find in big-box stores. You know I love a good vintage piece, and 2025 is all about combining those treasures with modern staples. A vintage rug paired with a sleek new sofa? Yes, please. And bonus points for finding pieces with a story behind them—your guests will love it.

8. Bringing the Outdoors In, All Over Again
This trend is definitely here to stay: indoor plants are still everywhere. But it’s going beyond just a few potted ferns; think indoor herb gardens, hanging planters, and even green walls if you’re feeling ambitious. If your thumb isn’t exactly green, start with a sturdy snake plant—they look great and are practically impossible to kill. The goal is to create a space that feels alive and refreshing, even when you’re stuck inside all day.

9. Statement Lighting
Lighting in 2025 is going to be all about making a statement. Forget the basic ceiling lights; we’re talking oversized pendant lamps, funky floor lamps, and even retro-inspired sconces. Good lighting can totally change a room, and it’s an easy way to dip your toes into the trend without a full commitment. Find something that makes you happy—like a lamp that looks like a piece of art—and let it shine (pun absolutely intended).

10. Flex Spaces Done Right
Finally, we’re still seeing a big focus on multi-functional spaces, but with a bit more intention. If 2024 was about making do with what you had, 2025 is about making those spaces actually work for you long-term. Think of a home office that doubles as a reading nook or a guest room with a fold-out desk. It’s all about being smart with your space so that it flows with your life, not against it.

So there you have it—my rundown of what’s coming in hot for 2025. The best part is that these trends are all about making your home feel more “you” and less like a catalog. If anything here speaks to you, start small and make it your own. Trends are fun, but your space should always reflect what you love most.
If you’re feeling inspired but not quite sure how to bring these trends into your home, we’ve got you! Let’s work together to create a space that feels fresh and totally you.
