Home decor trends for 2025 are embracing a blend of nostalgia, sustainability and a focus on comfort and wellness. Here are some of the key trends:
Sustainable Materials
Sustainable and natural materials continue to gain popularity, with reclaimed wood, bamboo, cork, and hemp being commonly used in furniture, flooring, and textiles. More furniture is being created from upcycled or repurposed materials, emphasizing creativity and environmental responsibility.
Biophilic Design
Biophilic design remains a popular trend, focused on integrating nature into indoor spaces. This approach incorporates elements like indoor plants, vertical gardens or living walls, earthy wall tones, natural wood furniture, and materials such as stone or clay. Large windows that allow plenty of natural light are also key features.
Curved & Organic Shapes in Furniture and Accessories
Softer, more rounded furniture designs are replacing the angular, traditional styles. Circular coffee tables, curved sofas, mirrors, and flowing organic forms will be prominent in interiors. Popular materials include tweed, corduroy, plush fleece, and velvet, offering a nostalgic nod to the 60s and 70s.
Mid-Century Revival
Mid-century modern furniture and decor will continue to make a strong comeback this year. This style emerged in the mid-20th century, spanning from the 1940s to the 1960s. It is defined by its clean lines, straightforward forms, and emphasis on functionality. This style blends organic shapes with minimalist design, often featuring natural materials like wood, leather, and stone, alongside synthetic materials such as metal, glass, and plastic.
Art Deco Revival
Vintage styles from the 1920s and 1930s are making a major comeback in 2025. Art Deco design emerged in the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s. It is characterized by its bold geometric shapes, clean lines, and luxurious materials. Art Deco blends modernist styles with fine craftsmanship and intricate detailing, often incorporating elements such as zigzags, chevrons, and stylized motifs inspired by nature, as well as exotic influences from cultures around the world.
Popular Paint Colours of 2025
Warm Earth Tones: Hues like terracotta, ochre, soft browns, burgundy and warm taupes are popular in 2025.
Muted Greens: Soft, calming greens, such as sage or olive, continue to gain popularity.
Deep Blues: Deep, rich blues like navy and midnight blue are timeless and lend sophistication to any room
Soft Neutrals: As a counterpoint to brighter tones, soft neutrals such as off-whites, creams, and soft grays will remain key in homes.
Bold Statements: In contrast to the more neutral and natural tones, 2025 sees bold accent walls in vibrant hues such as burnt orange, deep coral, or rich emerald, green, offering a modern contrast.
Handcrafted Textiles
Handwoven and artisan textiles, like hand-embroidered cushions, rugs, and throws, are becoming increasingly popular for adding tactile richness and visual interest.
Wellness-Focused Spaces
Designing areas dedicated to relaxation, meditation, or yoga will be a growing trend this year, featuring soft lighting, minimal furniture, and natural elements. As well, air purifiers and water features will be integrated into homes to support physical and mental well-being.
Maximalism Design
Maximalism is a design trend characterized by the embrace of bold colours, intricate patterns, and a mix of textures and materials. It celebrates excess, individuality, and the idea that more is more. Unlike minimalism, which focuses on simplicity and restraint, maximalism encourages the use of vibrant hues, layered decor, and eclectic combinations of furniture, art, and accessories. This style often includes contrasting elements, unexpected pairings, and a sense of personal expression, creating a lively, dynamic environment that feels full of character and personality.
Vintage Décor
More homeowners are turning to second-hand and antique pieces to infuse their homes with uniqueness and history, creating a harmonious blend of old and new.
As our homes continue to evolve into spaces that reflect our values and lifestyles, they are becoming not just places to live but personalized sanctuaries that blend beauty, innovation, and sustainability in meaningful ways.
Happy New Year!
