8 Interior Design Trends Poised to Dominate in 2025

At-Home Wellness Spaces

In this Malibu house, an exciting combination of lighting and paint turns the bathroom into Mediterranean grotto.

One theme several designers agreed upon was a growing emphasis on physical and mental well-being at home. “Clients continue to ask for wellness areas—spas, gyms,” says designer Nicole Hollis, who fields requests for water circuits, sauna steam rooms, and cold plunges.

Romanek points out that the trend doesn’t always require a sprawling footprint. “I think we’ll continue to see more requests for places that feel private and personal, like a quiet reading nook or a wellness room where you can just breathe and unwind.” Sebban agrees, adding, “even meditation alcoves can serve as sanctuaries within the home.”

Even More Clay and Ceramics

The powder room in this happy Wisconsin hideaway, designed by Victoria Sass of Prospect Refuge Studio, features custom ceramic tiles by Clay Squared to Infinity arranged in a checked pattern.

The use of ceramics and clay shows no signs of slowing down, as designers continue to embrace their organic appeal. “Ceramic lighting, tables, fireplace surrounds, and mirrors will continue to be incorporated into interiors,” says Hollis. Sebban echoes this enthusiasm, highlighting a broader embrace of natural materials. “Clay-based products and natural plasters are being rediscovered for their tactile appeal and environmental benefits,” he notes.

Amped Up Earth Tones



Just like 2024, brown will continue to have a major moment in 2025, offering endless versatility and a connection to nature that feels just right for the times. “There are so many shades to play with, and it can act as a soft neutral or a rich moody tone,” says Night Palm founder Tiffany Howell. “Brown is timeless. It’s always been a grounding color,” Romanek shares. “I’m seeing clay-toned browns coming through, which bring a bit of natural warmth and feel very connected to the earth.”

In addition to brown hues, earth tones are set to dominate interiors in 2025. “Shades like deep burgundy, navy blue, saturated greens, and terracotta will be prominent, adding depth and sophistication to spaces,” says Hollis.

“Soft greens and muted blues are becoming very popular, as these colors are associated with wellness and a sense of calm,” Sebban offers, predicting that darker earth tones, like chestnut brown and moss green, will crop up in both residential and commercial spaces.

Rita Konig agrees. “I’m very drawn to a palette of sienna colors—ochre yellow, warm orange—the colors of the earth,” she says. “And I think warm blues will be popular next year because they are timeless. I painted my own hall a really warm blue that’s the color of a good sky—it’s a color that makes me happy.”

A Return to Classic Furniture


In a Paris apartment designed by Pierre Yovanovitch, the living room’s sofa and ball cushions are by Pierre Yovanovitch Mobilier.

“I’m predicting a return to the classics when it comes to furniture—less curved sofas, more structure. Less boucle, more patterns,” says Jeremiah Brent. “Modern minimalism will take more of a backseat across the board.”

Meanwhile, some designers are reimagining minimalism through a classic, historical lens. “More minimal Art Deco rooms, minimal Colonial American rooms, and minimal formal, French rooms,” explain Adam Charlap Hyman and Andre Herrero, founders of Charlap Hyman & Herrero.

Artful Lighting


In a Manhattan residence designed by Nannette Brown, the living room features varying lighting sources at differing levels.

“Clients are increasingly drawn to pieces that are more than just functional—they want statement pieces that shape the entire room,” says Romanek. “For me, lighting brings everything together and can set the tone in a way few other elements can.”

Dynamic designs are redefining lighting’s role. “We’re seeing minimalist fixtures with sculptural forms—think lighting that doubles as art,” notes Sebban. Howell agrees, noticing a shift toward unconventional approaches. “I think we are going to see people using the lighting in their home in less traditional ways and more as playful art pieces.”

Nods to Nature



“Natural materials bring warmth and texture,” says Romanek. “Clients are gravitating toward stones, woods, and natural fibers. I love the feel of raw, untreated materials that age beautifully, giving spaces a sense of history and grounding.”

Designers are also embracing natural finishes in creative ways. “Verdigris everything! In furniture and accessories; indoors and out,” Brent emphasizes.

Sebban highlights the importance of bringing the outdoors in. “Integrating nature into the built environment is more important than ever, especially in urban settings,” he offers. “This could mean larger indoor plants, living walls, or even natural materials like stone, wood, and clay. I love to use lava stone or marble stucco.”

A Focus on Comfort


In the dining nook of this sunny Los Angeles home, playful wallpaper, plush blue upholstery, and animal-print cushions make for the coziest spot for a cuppa joe.

Comfort may be a bit of a dirty word in the design trade, but A-Listers are embracing it, whether through spaces designed to add ease to daily rituals or through silhouettes that are more laidback. “Breakfast nooks have become a constant request—a space that feels more casual than a dining room but more intentional than barstools at a countertop,” says Brent. “I always incorporate performance fabrics and a banquette to create an elevated but easy feel.”

This balance of elegance and ease is also reflected in living rooms. “We’re seeing shapes that invite comfort and a softer, more relaxed environment,” Sebban reflects. While Howell adds that she’s seeing more soft, comfortable materials gaining traction.

Individualistic Interiors


In this Toronto home designed by Kelly Wearstler, a small room is transformed into a library, fitted with bookshelves and a custom table.

Overwhelmingly, designers are prioritizing personal expression. “More than ever before, I am seeing clients lean into individualistic interiors—a style that fits their lifestyle over trends,” says Howell. “We are revisiting eclecticism in a less bohemian, maximalistic way.”

This shift toward personalized design also draws inspiration from groundbreaking movements of the past. “At Uchronia, we are deeply inspired by the Memphis Group and the Italian Radical Design movement, which challenged conventions and created spaces and objects that were full of color, humor, and experimentation,” explains Sebban. “They resonate with us because they emphasize freedom of expression, breaking norms, and embracing the unexpected.”

“Individuality will always set your space apart,” adds Kelly Wearstler. “How do your interiors, music, fragrance, fashion, and art collections connect? That is the question everyone should be asking of themselves going into 2025. This is where you will find your style.”
