2025 Interior Design Trends

In 2025, interior design evolves to reflect a deep connection with comfort, sustainability, and individuality. Here’s a closer look at the key trends defining the year, including highlights from the Maison & Objet 2025 theme, “Sur/Reality” to inspire innovative design by blending real with imaginary.

Curved & Sculptural Furniture

Furniture with soft, rounded forms adds a sense of comfort and approachability, moving away from rigid lines and embracing more organic shapes.  These forms create inviting and comforting spaces, with furniture and accessories showcasing plump designs ans smooth edges. 

Early Modernism Revival

The early modernism revival is a prominent trend in 2025, drawing inspiration from the early-to-mid 20th century design movement. Rooted in simplicity, functionality, and timeless elegance, this revival captures the essence of modernist ideals while integrating contemporary sensibilities.

The revival often pays homage to Bauhaus principles, emphasizing the marriage of art and technology in furniture, lighting, and architecture.

Iconic pieces, such as Marcel Breuer’s Wassily Chair or Le Corbusier’s Chaise Lounge, are reinterpreted in modern interiors.

Open and Airy Spaces

Interiors feature open layouts, natural light, and a sense of spaciousness. Large windows, minimal partitions, and a focus on flow create a harmonious environment.

Restorative Living Spaces

Bedrooms are reimagined as sanctuaries, focusing on sleep-supportive design, calming colours, and wellness-centered elements like air-purifying plants and aromatherapy accessories.

Privacy is prioritized with creative solutions like trellises, lattices, and outdoor curtains. Cozy corners with fire pits, hammocks, or lounge seating offer spaces for relaxation.

Sculptural Lighting and Functional Art

Lighting is elevated to an art form with bold, sculptural designs. From asymmetrical chandeliers to abstract floor lamps, these pieces double as focal points and functional elements

Explore unconventional designs such as Polspotten’s dripping mirrors or Sonos’ ceramic hands—pieces that defy traditional norms while retaining functionality. Reflecting the spirit of Maison&Objet Paris 2025, these creations blur the line between art and utility, transforming furniture and decor into both practical elements and captivating conversation starters.

Walls

In 2025, interior design trends are embracing a harmonious blend of natural elements, rich colors, and personalized touches to create inviting and expressive spaces. Here are some key trends to consider for your walls:

1. Textured Walls

Adding depth and character to walls through textures is gaining popularity. Techniques like plaster, wallpaper, or limewash introduce warmth and interest, transforming plain walls into focal points. 

2. Moody Earth Tones

Deep, rich colours such as chocolate brown, burgundy, indigo, and deep green are making a comeback. These hues replace the once-dominant whites and grays, bringing a cozy and grounded feel to interiors. 

3. Pattern Drenching

This trend involves enveloping a room in a single pattern or colour, extending from walls to furnishings. It creates a cohesive and immersive environment, adding depth and personality to the space. 

4. Natural Materials

Incorporating natural materials like wood and stone into wall designs is on the rise. These elements introduce warmth and a connection to nature, enhancing the overall ambiance of the room. 

5. Decorative Lighting as Wall Features

Sculptural and decorative lighting fixtures are being used to adorn walls, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. Murano-glass pendants and chandeliers, for instance, add a touch of elegance and become statement pieces. 

Floors

In 2025, flooring trends are embracing a blend of natural aesthetics, sustainability, and innovative designs. Here are some key trends to consider:

1. Biophilic Design and Natural Materials

There’s a strong emphasis on connecting interiors with nature. Incorporating natural materials like wood and stone not only adds warmth but also promotes tranquility within the home. 

2. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Options

Homeowners are increasingly opting for eco-friendly flooring choices. Materials such as sustainably sourced wood and recycled content are gaining popularity, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility. 

3. Warmer Wood Tones and Parquet Patterns

A shift towards warmer mid-tone browns and classic parquet patterns, like herringbone, is evident. These choices add a timeless and sophisticated touch to interiors. 

4. Textured Finishes and Mixed Materials

Textured finishes and the combination of different materials are trending, adding depth and character to spaces. This approach allows for personalized and unique flooring designs. 

5. Large Format and Geometric Tiles

The use of large-format tiles and bold geometric patterns is on the rise, creating a sense of spaciousness and making a striking statement in rooms. 

Sustainable Luxury

Eco-consciousness remains central, with sustainable materials like reclaimed wood, natural stone, and organic textiles taking center stage. Designers are balancing luxury with environmental responsibility, creating timeless, eco-friendly pieces.

Versatile and Transformative Designs

As trends evolve, it’s natural to grow weary of seeing the same furniture in the same arrangement every day. Enter modular designs—a trend that encourages creativity by offering endless possibilities for customizing furniture layouts.

These adaptable pieces can seamlessly transform to fit any room, making traditional furniture feel outdated. Think modular sofas, foldable tables, and shelving units that double as room dividers. They’re perfect for optimizing small spaces while maintaining a unified aesthetic, creating a sense of harmony and fluidity among all your decor elements.

Nature Culture

Surrealism’s deep connection to the natural world inspires designs that blend organic shapes with whimsical, dreamlike elements. Embrace this trend by incorporating live plants and nature-inspired decor into your space. Seek out pieces with intricate, nature-focused details, like those showcased at Maison&Objet Paris 2025, to create an environment where the beauty of the outdoors meets the wonder of imagination.
