Interior Design Trends for 2025 – Our Predictions

Fun and Colourful Homes that Reflect Your Personality

We’re saying goodbye to the days of only seeing bland white boxes and monotone greys. Homeowners are increasingly embracing bolder colours and injecting a sense of fun back into their spaces. Think rich, cosy colours and earthy tones, offering warmth and personality. With dopamine décor gaining popularity in the last few years, and with the continued rise of maximalism, it’s clear this playful approach to design is here to stay. From colourful palettes to quirky touches people are choosing décor that reflects their unique personality and we expect this to be one of the key interior design trends for 2025.

Fringes and Frills

We’ve been seeing an increase of frills in 2024 and now fringes are joining the party. Expect to see them everywhere—on sofas, footstools, cushions and more. These playful details add texture and a touch of nostalgia to a space, proving that small design elements can have a big impact.

Brown and Burgundy

Brown has been rising in popularity across both interior design and fashion, and with Pantone naming Mocha Mousse as its Colour of the Year for 2025, this trend isn’t going anywhere. Burgundy, too, is having its moment, appearing on everything from walls to statement furniture. These rich, deep hues can bring warmth and grounding to a room.

Eco-Conscious Interior Design and Bringing Nature Inside

Arguably one of the most important interior design trends for 2025 is the continued move towards sustainability. Homeowners are increasingly seeking out eco-friendly options, prioritising pieces from smaller, independent brands that are built to last rather than following fleeting trends. People are thrifting more and there has been a noticeable increase in manufacture of eco-friendly textiles.

Nature-inspired interiors are also on the rise, with natural materials, living walls, and larger houseplants bringing the outdoors in. This isn’t just a trend; it’s a lifestyle shift towards creating more mindful and sustainable living spaces.

Checkerboards and Stripes – Still Going Strong

Checkerboards and stripes have dominated the design world in recent years and they’re not going anywhere in 2025. We are seeing a surge of checkerboard and striped bathrooms and tiled floors. These patterns are versatile, timeless and undeniably chic, making them a favourite for those wanting to make a statement.

Ceilings – The Fifth Wall

Instead of being overlooked ceilings are being treated as an integral part of the design. We expect to see more bold, colourful choices, ceilings painted to match the walls and an increase in wallpapered ceilings. This trend adds a sense of drama and creativity to spaces, transforming a previously ignored surface into a true focal point.

A Final Note

While it’s fun to explore the latest trends, the most important thing is to choose designs and colours that resonate with you. Trends come and go, but a home should reflect your personality and be a place you love to come back to. Whether you embrace the trends of 2025 or stick to timeless classics, let your choices bring you joy for years to come.

If you have a project in mind or need some help with your home, we’d love to hear from you.  You can either call us on 0117 9238858 or email design@josephkinginteriors to book an introductory meeting.
