Interior design trends for 2025

As another year draws to a close, it's time to start looking towards 2025 and what it might hold for interior design trends. 2024 was a year of stripes, textured glass, bright colours, dark wood panelling and quality furniture over budget buys. But what will the New Year bring? Here's what the experts at Hammonds think.

Sustainable designs

Sustainability is a trend taking centre stage across various industries. As environmental awareness grows for both consumers and companies, we expect to see this seep further into the latest trends in interior design for 2025.

Eco-conscious design in the home is likely to show up in two main ways: the use of natural or recycled materials and the integration of energy-efficient principles. In practice, this could be introducing reclaimed wood, recycled metal, bamboo and cork for furniture, flooring and wall finishes.

Passive designs maximising natural light and enhancing heat retention are likely to be priorities for many homeowners. This should help lower carbon footprints and energy bills throughout the year. Don't be surprised to see more handmade, artisan additions to living spaces, as people favour 'shopping small' over mass-produced furniture and décor.

Bringing the outside in

Biophilic design has been bubbling under for a few years now. Expect it to be a key interior design trend in 2025, as people explore new and innovative ways to bring the outdoors in.

Incorporating nature inside can be achieved through natural elements, textures, colours and materials. Small, stylish house plants, trees and even living walls could be prominent features in many living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. Greenery isn't just an aesthetic element, but one that can bring benefits for mental and physical health.

Natural materials like stone, clay and wood create an organic, grounding atmosphere. These are likely to be used across the home from bathroom finishes to kitchen features. A greater emphasis on large windows and skylights should also help people enhance the connection between inside and out.

Mindful minimalism

Mindfulness, intentional living, minimalism – these could all be buzzwords and phrases in 2025. As people prioritise mental clarity and well-being, clutter-free spaces and simple yet sophisticated interior design trends will come to the fore.

Minimalism is all about embracing simplicity and being okay with less. Fewer 'things' but more of a higher quality and purpose. Clean lines, functional layouts and items that have both understated beauty and meaningful practicality. Your spaces should feel peaceful and calming, and everything should have a place.

Your choice of furniture is key if you're looking to perfect the minimalist look. Fitted furniture for living areas ensures you can keep the clutter at bay while making the most of the space available. Even rooms with tricky corners and alcoves can be conquered with custom furniture to achieve a calming, minimalist feel.

Neutral colour palettes with pops of bold colour

Bold and bright has been popular in the last few years, but we think the latest trends in interior design for 2025 will reflect the need for more balance. In line with minimalist principles, warm neutrals like soft greys, warm taupes and ivory whites will continue to dominate along with bold accents and infusions.

Vibrant tones like emerald green, deep teal, terracottas and rich mustard yellow could make their way into predominantly neutral rooms in the form of cushions, artwork, soft furnishings or even feature walls. A few simple additions of colour and texture could breathe more life and personality into minimalist spaces that some find too understated.
