With each new year, it’s always exciting to see what trends interior designers predict will shape our homes in the coming year, and 2025 is no exception. After gathering input from 19 of the world’s top design professionals, it’s clear there’s a lot to be excited about this year: think moody interior paint colors (deep purple is a standout example), bold patterns that make a statement, cozy reading nooks, and a renewed emphasis on natural materials—and that’s just the beginning. Whether you’re planning to update your bedroom, create an affordable and stunning kitchen, or make your living room feel incredibly cozy, this roundup of the top interior design trends for 2025 is full of inspiration to help you create your dream space. If a full-on renovation isn’t in the works, don’t worry—there are plenty of easy ways to upcycle your favorite trends into your home.
Wondrous Art Gallery Walls
Expect to see whimsical gallery walls that mix paintings, prints, and quirky finds. These unexpected variations of shapes, sizes, and frames add a playful, lighthearted feel to a space.
Limewash Paint
The bedroom gets bonus points for an atmospheric ceiling. The movement and texture provided by limewash is a great addition to a bedroom. There are many techniques that offer different effects, and it looks great in both neutrals and colors.
Cozy Reading Nook
Reading nooks are making a comeback in 2025, with designs that blend functionality with style to create cozy and immersive spaces. Deep, moody tones like burgundy create a sense of intimacy, while soft seating, covered in textured fabrics, ensures comfort. Carefully placed decor—selected books, sculptural pieces, and framed art—adds personality and a touch of luxury. These spaces are perfect for a break from the digital world.
Brick Splashbacks
Splashbacks are the jewel of the kitchen. While integrated splashbacks were all the rage last year, 2025 sees the rise of organic, slightly unconventional stone. Brick veneers add a lot of warmth and interest. They can lean toward industrial or modern-rustic, but most importantly, they don’t look like boring subway tiles.
Concrete Veneer Applications
Board-formed concrete is a stylish and versatile way to add an edgy touch to any space. Its unique texture is created by imprinting the grain of the board into the concrete during the pouring process, giving it a raw, organic feel that works beautifully in a variety of design styles. From modern and contemporary aesthetics to industrial and even traditional spaces, it blends seamlessly with the right complementary elements. I’m really looking forward to incorporating more board-formed concrete into upcoming projects in the new year, pushing the boundaries of how it can be used.
Warm Whites and Wood Grains Continue to Be Popular
Kitchens are moving away from cool whites to warmer beiges, terracottas, and even moody natural neutrals for a warmer, more grounded feel. This trend complements the rise of warm wood tones, adding depth to cabinetry, flooring, and trim. Together, these elements reflect a preference for spaces that feel both cozy and sophisticated, blending natural warmth with stylish sophistication.
