As we look ahead to 2025, it’s a great time to start thinking about the home interior design trends that will come into play in the seasons ahead.
During the past few years, design styles tended to reflect the societal issues we were all collectively facing – namely, the coronavirus pandemic and living our lives mostly indoors. In the year to come, economic uncertainties like an anticipated recession are on everyone’s minds, which will inevitably impact future design trends.
It is likely that homeowners will embrace a sense of frugality in the design choices they make, but still with the aim of creating spaces that are luxurious and inviting with stylish appeal.
So then, what are the 2025 interior design trends that will be the focus of design enthusiasts in the new year? Here are the top trends we already have our eyes on that will define the most stylish homes of the year.
1. Eco-friendly heating
With many places around the world facing rising energy costs, sustainability will not only continue to be a focus of furnishings and materials, but also of how we heat our homes in 2025.
Everyone wants to save money when it comes to utilities, especially when prices are higher than usual, which will lead to homeowners seeking out more eco-friendly solutions like electric fireplaces. Electric fireplaces will be all the rage in 2025 thanks to their commitment to 100% efficiency and zone or supplemental heating, which saves both money and energy.
Beyond these sustainable benefits, new electric fireplace models are now incredibly sleek, customizable, and beautiful to observe, making a great focal point for any modern living space.

2. Earthy and Rich Color Palettes
Designers are moving away from sterile, all-white interiors and embracing rich, earthy tones. Colors like chocolate brown, deep reds, burgundy, and mossy greens are gaining popularity, bringing warmth and depth to living spaces.
3. Color Drenching
This trend involves painting walls, ceilings, and trim in the same or complementary hues, creating a cohesive and immersive environment. Color drenching makes spaces feel more intentional and polished.
4. More with Marble
To add a touch of drama, more and more homeowners will be looking for ways to incorporate marble accents to their kitchens and bathrooms. While not so much of a trend (as marble never goes out of style!), what will be seen throughout 2025 is a change in how marble is used – like in kitchen benchtops.
A nod to traditional European countertops, marble benchtops that are finely finished with treatments like lamb’s tongue or double bullnose detailing will be more popular in the new year.
Though white and pale marbles have come strongly back into fashion, 2025 will see homeowners also embracing colored and darker marbles with a highly decorative effect – like forest green and even black.

5. Vintage and Retro Influences
There's a resurgence of vintage and retro styles, with a modern twist. Incorporating vintage furniture, bold patterns, and nostalgic decor items can infuse contemporary homes with a sense of history and personality.
6. Textured Walls and Ceilings
Adding texture to walls and ceilings is becoming a key design element. Techniques like wood paneling, decorative plaster finishes, and even wallpapered ceilings introduce depth and interest, moving away from flat surfaces. Check out tin ceiling tiles from our sister company American Tin Ceilings.
7. Biophilic Design
Connecting interiors with nature continues to be a significant trend. This includes the use of natural materials, indoor plants, and designs that promote natural light, fostering a sense of well-being and tranquility.
8. Maximalism and Pattern Mixing
Maximalism is making a comeback, encouraging the mixing of bold patterns, vibrant colors, and diverse textures. This approach creates lively, personalized spaces that reflect individual tastes and stories.
