Interior Design trends 2025
At-home wellness, brown hues and more personality are just some of the trends we will see more of in 2025. This year we seem to add more of ourselves into our interiors and bring out our playful side.
Below follows a brief summary of some of the key trends to look out for in 2025.
Brown tones
Last year we saw brown becoming the new black when it came to fashion and interior is no exception. This year Pantone announced that their colour of the year is “Mocha mousse”, a brown hue reminding us of coffee, chocolate and nature. Pantone themselves describes the colour as:
“a versatile shade infused with inherent sophistication and earthy refinement” (source)
and perhaps this grounding hue is exactly the comfort we need in the uncertain times we find ourselves in.
Other colours we will see a lot of in 2025 are navy blue, burgundy, rich greens and terracotta.

At-home wellness spaces
The home spa, gym and other types of wellness rooms are on the uprise this year. Small spaces dedicated to meditation, yoga or just a good little reading nook, all to enhance our wellness at home. Expect to see this trickle down into smaller objects that we can easily incorporate in our homes: luxurious self-care products, luscious towels and beautiful scented candles which will bring the sensation of our favorite spa right into our own bathroom.
Cozy minimalism
Gone are the days of all white minimal interiors. This year we embrace a cozy minimalism, full of Scandinavian influences and earthy tones but not as sterile and cold as seen before. Soft materials and warm colours still makes a space feel paired down and minimal but a lot more inviting than what we are used to seeing.

Colour-drenching
Less colour-blocking and more colour-drenching. In 2025 we are seeing rooms drenched in different shades of the same hue. We are creating a more playful approach to our interiors and potentially also making bold statements depending on which colour we pick.
Tip! If you want to incorporate this trend into your own home try by swapping out fabrics like bed sheets, decorative cushions and curtains to achieve a more cohesive look in a room.

The rise in playful design can also be seen in everyday objects such as the new collections from Ikea which brings in more colour and fun shapes.

Antiques & Art Deco
This year marks 100 years since Art Deco was first introduced in 1925, at the International Exhibition of Modern decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris. The styles focus on high quality pieces and materials is contributing to its appeal as we are constantly looking to be and feel more sustainable. Together with the boom in Antiques and second-hand shopping, the Art Deco style is showing that we are turning away from mass-produced looks and searching out a more personal and curated look that will last longer.
Personality
Less basic and more personality is what we are striving for in 2025. With the rise of antique shopping, bolder colours and a move away from minimalism, this year we want to really curate our spaces and make them feel inviting and personal.
Tip! Hop on this trend by displaying personal decor pieces from recent trips or repainting a piece of furniture that you already have in a new, fresh colour.
