Interior Design Trends 2025 According to Our Experts
It's time to reveal 2025 interior design trends as picked by our experts.
At the beginning of each year, we get predictions of what will be trending in interior design, and 2025 is no different. While some styles come and go, others have staying power that we can't part with. For the coming year, we see many styles evolving and adapting to our lives while others are making a comeback.
The interior design experts at Planner 5D have been keeping a close eye on the evolving design landscape and the trends they are seeing. Here are some fascinating predictions they have shared for the year ahead.
Why trends matter
Interior design trends aren't just fleeting fads and the latest TikTok trends. They reflect our changing lifestyles, values, and how we want to experience our homes. Understanding what influences these trends can help you create a space that truly reflects your style and enhances your daily life.
Should you go and redo your whole house? Not at all. Trends are a guideline to help you design your space. Sometimes it's a new paint color to update your decor. Other times, it can be about incorporating a few small changes to keep your home in the now without being outdated.
Top trends to watch in 2025
Now, let's take a closer look at these trends. Our experts at Planner 5D have identified several key styles shaping how we'll design and decorate our spaces in the coming year.
Personalized comfort
Personalized comfort leads the way as we enter a new era of interior design that celebrates individuality. Gone are the days of cookie-cutter interiors. Instead, we're seeing a movement toward spaces that truly reflect personal expression. Social media has exposure to different styles and how others decorate their homes. This allows us to better assess what we like and want to see in our homes.
People are more confident now than ever before in choosing and mixing different aesthetics. Curating an aesthetic that truly expresses your personality is easier than ever. Expect to see bold colors, comfortable furniture, and a strong emphasis on individuality.
Innovations in micro-living
With more and more people living in very small spaces, using every square inch of space has become a priority. As the old adage goes, necessity is the mother of all inventions, and we see this in how micro-living affects interior design.
Expect to see clever use of space with every square inch thoughtfully considered. Multifunctional furniture and versatile solutions, like fold-out desks and hidden storage, are becoming essential features in these thoughtfully designed smaller homes. The furniture, especially pieces intended for those living in small spaces, is also more compact and functional.
Vintage revival with a modern twist
Like in many other areas of our lives, the old is new again. One of the biggest trends in 2025 that's been gaining momentum is the revival of vintage and retro pieces with a modern twist. We're seeing a mixing of old-school furniture and decor with contemporary elements that create fresh, familiar and nostalgic spaces.
You can easily add vintage pieces to your decor. Shop at antique stores, flea markets and estate sales for that one-of-a-kind piece. If you have any well-made antique furniture in your family, consider updating it to give it a new life.
Layered lighting
Layered lighting is proving to be one of the most transformative interior design trends for 2025. Rather than relying on a single overhead light, designers are creating depth and warmth through a carefully curated mix of ambient and accent lighting. It's one of the simplest yet most effective ways to elevate your space and create an inviting atmosphere.
Red and burgundy interiors
Red and burgundy interiors are making a bold statement in 2025. These rich, dramatic hues are being embraced both as accent colors and full-room treatments. When paired with neutrals and metallics, these deep tones add an undeniable sophistication to any space.
Quiet luxury
Quiet luxury continues to gain momentum, focusing on understated elegance through high-quality materials and craftsmanship. This trend moves away from obvious brand names and instead emphasizes timeless appeal, refined comfort, and bespoke furniture. It's luxury that whispers rather than shouts, using neutral palettes and luxurious textures to create enduring sophistication.
Earth tones are here to stay
Earth tones remain a grounding force in interior design, bringing the natural world indoors through colors like terracotta, deep greens, and clay. These timeless hues pair beautifully with natural materials such as wood, linen, and stone, creating spaces that feel connected to nature.
Artisanal and handmade decor
The appreciation for artisanal creations and handmade decor reflects a growing desire for authenticity. We will see a move away from mass-produced items for traditional craftsmanship and one-of-a-kind pieces that add genuine character to our homes. Those pieces could be rediscovered pieces or new, quality ones custom-made for a specific space.
Textured surfaces
Texture has always been a secret weapon interior designers use to add depth and interest to a room. It's not surprising, then, to see textured surfaces taking a more prominent role in people's homes. From rough-hewn wood to woven fabrics and stone finishes, these tactile elements create dynamic, inviting environments that engage our senses and elevate the overall aesthetic.
Smart surfaces
In recent years, we've seen technology and style becoming integrated seamlessly into our homes. This seamless fusion of tech and style is the new norm that will only continue to evolve. Color-changing lighting and TV screens that double as artwork are just a few examples of what's to come.
Neo-Baroque minimalism
This trend blends the grandeur of Baroque elements with the simplicity of minimalism. It was born as a response to our post-pandemic desire for comfort and nostalgia. This style combines Baroque elements with minimalist principles, creating elegant spaces that balance ornamental details with simplicity. It's undoubtedly one to watch out for in 2025.
Design for neuro-diversity
In 2025, we'll see a significant shift toward more inclusive interior design. The focus on creating spaces that cater to those with different sensory needs will take center stage. This trend recognizes that our environments play a crucial role in promoting well-being and comfort for everyone.
Conclusion
These are just a few of the exciting trends that are shaping the future of interior design. We're very excited to see the evolution of interior design and look forward to seeing these trends in 2025. The question is, which one are you most excited about?
