Top Interior Design Trends for 2025

Your home is your personal sanctuary that reflects your style, wellbeing, and social status. We all have our own sense of aesthetic that transcends annual trends but it is always fun to talk about what today’s creators, innovators, and curators are up to in the world of home design. As with everything in design, we’re seeing a lot of 1970’s late mid-century modern revival features mixed with a focus on the future and of course—technology. Let’s look at 5 of the biggest interior design trends expected in 2025.

1. Earthy Interiors
   Coming out of the whitewashed minimalist trend homeowners are looking for a little bit more grounding in their interior design. However, many homeowners are not quite ready to embrace maximalist color palettes. For this reason, 2025 will likely bring a resurgence of earthy tones, mixed with moody or striking accents. Pantone’s color of the year, “Mocha Mousse,” is an excellent example of this earthy base that can easily pair with rich jewel tones or bright, vibrant tones for a powerful accent color pallet.

2. Sustainability to Stay
   Sustainability continues to be so important for homeowners, and this is even more true as the younger generations enter into homeownership themselves. Especially for the youngest generation of homeowners, sustainability is key simply out of the desire to reduce their personal environmental impact. However, every generation of homeowners can get excited about the cost-effective and energy-efficient options on the market today. Design trends reflect this with the rising popularity of recycled or natural furniture and decor items, as well as a resurgence of thrifted art finds.

3. Whimsical Artwork
   There is no doubt that 2025 will be the year of whimsical artwork. As social media trends have created a love for thrifted finds, homeowners are becoming increasingly drawn to quirky and unique decor finds. Don’t be surprised to see unexpected shapes, sizes and materials in the most-loved artwork in 2025. Expect to see items that traditionally clash but are grounded by a cohesive color palette, which can add a relaxed yet anchored feel to the space.
   
   

4. Wood Accents
   With the rising trend of earthy tones and an important place on sustainability, there is no doubt that we will see more wood accents being incorporated into homes in 2025. Biodegradable and natural products like wood and bamboo will certainly be coveted finds for furniture and home items this year.
   
   

5. Smart Home Swaps
   While sustainability and a calm, relaxed interior will be a design priority in 2025, there’s no doubt that homeowners still want modern amenities and day-to-day convenience. For this reason, expect to see sleek and simple additions within the home, like color-changing LED lighting and smart thermostats. Items that can offer additional comfort and style while contributing to an ethos of sustainability and relaxation will be easy swaps this year.
