The future of interior design is shaping up to be bold, thoughtful, and packed with personality. As an interior designer, I can tell you that 2025 is going to be all about creating spaces that reflect your unique style while incorporating functionality, sustainability, and a touch of innovation. Whether you’re planning a full renovation or just looking for a few fresh ideas, these trends are sure to inspire. Let’s dive in!

1. Color Drenching: The Power of Monochrome

At the top of the list for 2025 trends is color drenching! This dramatic technique wraps your walls, ceilings, trim, and even furniture in a single bold hue or variations of the same shade. The result? An immersive look that feels both chic and daring. If you love the idea but feel hesitant, try it in a small space like a powder bath or mudroom, where you can embrace a more adventurous design for short periods of time. You can still maintain a light and airy feel in the main areas of your home while adding these deep, rich pockets of color that create a striking sense of personality. It’s the perfect way to add sophistication and depth without overwhelming your space!

2. Saturated Moody Hues: Drama and Depth

Whether youre color drenching a space or just looking to incorporate some bold accents, rich, moody hues are the way to go! Think jewel-box colors like earthy, forest greens, chocolate browns, and crimson reds like oxblood, black cherry, merlot, and burgundy to create the perfect sense of drama and intimacy. I often pair these tones with natural textures—think leather, wood, or stone—for a sophisticated, grounded feel. These colors are versatile too! Whether you want an accent chair or a fully saturated space, they’ll bring so much personality to your home.

3. Darker Wood Tones: Timeless Elegance

Darker wood tones like walnut and mahogany are back in a big way! These rich finishes bring warmth and luxury to any space, whether it’s a modern kitchen or a classic living room. Even the beloved white oak we see so often is taking on darker stains all over the design landscape. If you’re planning a remodel, consider a dark wood kitchen island amidst your lighter wood tones. Or if you just need a small update, furniture in darker tones will do the trick. Our tip— remember to repeat similar hues around your space for a look that is balanced without being matchy matchy.

4. Spa-Like Bathrooms: The Home Oasis

Who doesn’t love a spa day? This year, bathrooms are becoming true retreats, with soothing palettes, natural materials, and indulgent features like rainfall showerheads and heated floors. We are still regularly incorporating oversized soaking tubs and steam showers into luxury bathroom remodels. And don’t forget integrated outlets for all your gadgets in medicine cabinets or vanity drawers —these modern conveniences and luxury details are all about creating that “ahhh” moment at home.

5. Ogee Edge Countertops: A Touch of Curved Sophistication

If you’ve been following countertop trends, you know edges make all the difference. Believe it ir not, the ogee edge is back, offering a curved, detailed finish that adds an undeniable sense of luxury. Designers all over are taking this trend to the next level by adding layered edge details for a unique embellishment, as we did in our airy transitional project. We firmly believe this elevated classic detail will enhance your home's appeal and stand the test of time.

6. Sustainable and Biophilic Design: A Natural Harmony

Sustainability and biophilic design go hand-in-hand in 2025. With materials like reclaimed wood, bamboo, and recycled metals clients are embracing eco-friendly materials while also inviting nature indoors. We particularly love incorporating indoor greenery, like a living wall or even just a few beautiful potted plants, to soften a space and improve air quality. Plus, large windows and skylights are must-haves for making the most of natural light.

7. Warm Minimalism: Clean Meets Cozy

While clean lines and uncluttered spaces remain the foundation, they’re now warmed up with plush textures, natural materials, and muted, earthy color palettes. Imagine cozy wool throws, boucle armchairs, and linen drapery paired with sleek, functional furniture. This trend strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and comfort, resulting in serene, inviting environments that promotes well-being. It’s the ideal choice for those who love intentional design with a welcoming warmth.

8. Vintage Nostalgia: A Modern Twist on the Past

As editor-in-chief of Country Living says, what’s considered “out” can also be thought of as “early” because trends always come back around. Retro styles and laid-back country aesthetics are making a comeback, infused with modern updates. Expect to see earthy tones, bold geometric prints, wood paneling, curved furniture, and velvet upholstery. The retro aesthetic mixes nostalgia with comfort, striking a balance between vintage charm and contemporary functionality.

9. Lived-In Luxury: Polished Yet Personal

Here’s a trend we adore: lived-in luxury. Overwhelmingly, designers are prioritizing personal expression. Whether it’s a vintage rug paired with high-end finishes, personal artwork mixed with marble surfaces, or layers of textures that feel curated yet comfortable. This style celebrates imperfection and tells a story, making your home feel elegantly individualistic, while remaining cozy and unstuffy.

10. Tech-Integrated Homes: Smart Living

Smart technology is getting even smarter—and sleeker! From hidden charging stations to voice-activated lighting, tech is blending seamlessly into interiors. I always emphasize subtle integration, ensuring that technology enhances the design rather than overwhelming it.

Conclusion

Interior design in 2025 is all about creating spaces that are personal, functional, and beautiful. Whether you’re drawn to the drama of color drenching, the sustainability of eco-friendly design, or the warmth of darker woods, these trends offer inspiration to create a home that’s not just beautiful, but also meaningful, functional and uniquely you.
