Find out moreWith a new year comes a fresh wave of interior trends, giving us the perfect excuse to refresh our homes and brighten up the colder months. From bold colour choices to mixed metals, 2025 has plenty to offer.
That said, not every trend will suit every home. The key is to choose elements that complement your existing space and personal style, rather than following everything you see online.
With that in mind, here are the biggest interior trends of 2025 and how you can incorporate them in a way that feels right for you.
For the past few years, darker shades of blue and green have been the go-to for adding depth to interiors. But this year, it’s purple stealing the show. Purple has been a bold design choice for centuries. In fact, over 2,000 years ago, it was the colour of Roman emperors because it was so rare and expensive to produce materials with it. Designers are now embracing deeper, richer shades like aubergine and muddy lavender, which bring sophistication and drama to any room.
If you’re not ready to go all-in with purple walls, don’t worry – you can start small. A purple velvet sofa or accent chairs can be the perfect statement piece. If that’s too much for you, consider adding purple accents with throw pillows, lighting fixtures, or artwork. These elements will introduce the colour in a more subtle way without overwhelming the space.
And if you’re wondering what purple goes well with, Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025, Mocha Mousse, is a warm, creamy brown that pairs beautifully with purple and other earthy tones.
Copper and bronze have ruled the kitchen for a while now, but this year, silver and chrome are making a comeback.
Mixing metals is the trend this year, adding a fresh, stylish contrast to your kitchen. The great thing about this trend is that you don’t need a full renovation to embrace it – just swap out a few key pieces. Pair brass drawer pulls with a stainless steel faucet or add a copper light fixture alongside chrome accessories. This mix of metals can instantly give your kitchen a modern, yet timeless, feel.
Straight lines are being swapped for curves in 2025, and we’re loving it. Curved sofas and soft-edged armchairs are becoming more popular, creating a more inviting, relaxed vibe. Curved furniture pieces not only soften a room but also make it feel more dynamic and comfortable.
To incorporate this trend into your home, start with a few key pieces. A rounded coffee table for example, can add warmth and interest. Just be sure to balance the curves with other textures and materials – a velvet chair next to a wooden table or a soft rug underneath can help keep the look cohesive without overwhelming the space.
Wallpaper is having a big moment in 2025, but it’s not just about accent walls anymore. The new trend is “colour drenching,” which involves covering entire rooms – including ceilings – in bold patterns and textures. It’s an immersive, dramatic look that adds personality to any space.
If you’re feeling bold, try covering an entire room in a striking wallpaper design. Or, for a subtler take, choose a feature wall or a smaller space like a hallway or alcove. This is a simple way to add character without needing a complete redesign.
This year, we’re seeing a shift toward rich, earthy tones like mahogany, chestnut, and deep browns – in paint colours and in furniture design. These colours bring warmth and comfort to any room, creating a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Pantone’s Mocha Mousse is a perfect example of this trend.
These colours work in all seasons – they keep your space warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Plus, they’re versatile enough to mix with bolder accent colours like mustard or teal. Whether you’re updating your walls, investing in new furniture, or just adding accessories, these darker neutrals bring warmth and elegance that makes any room feel inviting.
Lighting in 2025 is getting a creative upgrade, with sculptural fixtures stealing the spotlight as statement pieces in our homes. They not only brighten up your space but also look like works of art, adding a touch of personality.
To incorporate sculptural lighting, look for designs that feel bold yet elegant – maybe a statement chandelier in your dining room or an eye-catching pendant light in your living room. These pieces loo sophisticated and can make your space feel more curated and thoughtfully designed.
The best part about these trends is that you don’t need a full redesign to embrace them. Whether it’s through subtle touches like a purple throw pillow or a statement wallpaper feature, you can start transforming your space today.
