Whatever your ambitions are for 2025, your home is your ultimate retreat. And this year interior design and colour trends are all about comfort, intention and connection, creating your very own sanctuary. Whether you’re decorating your living room, bedroom or kitchen, we’ve compiled the top five 2025 interior design trends to inspire you.
Since the dusty pink hue of ‘setting plaster’ slowly started making its way into homes in the early 2020s, warm neutrals have continued to dominate interior design. They are perfectly paired with natural metals, particularly bronze, allowing more colourful characteristics of a room to stand out. Clay-based products and natural plasters have a tactile and organic appeal, which will see the trend extend into homeware and accessories this year. We’ll see more clay and ceramic lighting, sculpture and mirrors, paired with earthy, honeyed tones like ochres, rusts and mossy greens.

Artists have carefully used red to express emotions, imply meaning and create movement since the renaissance period, when bright reds were often used to draw attention to the most important figures in a painting. Centuries later, interior designers borrowed this trick as a way of adding a sophisticated yet playful pop to any room.
Last year, a viral video revealed this industry secret and since then many people have embraced the power of red. This will continue in 2025, with a more conscious consideration of colour theory.
Careful placement of red, in the right space with the right colours, can raise the energy of a room, add a sensual or dynamic edge or create a particular focal point. These type of colour theory techniques have been used by artists throughout history, from Constable and Matisse to our very own Pascale Taurua and Bob Barker with the incidental, but intentional, flashes of red in their paintings.

Whether by choice or by accident, many people are experimenting with colour drenching as a way to create the illusion of a bigger, contemporary space in their home. Colour drenching is where the walls, woodwork, ceiling and radiators in a room are all painted the same colour – and whilst it’s set to be a defining trend of 2025, its origins are cemented in fine art history. One could argue that Picasso was the originator of this trend back in 1901 with his blue and rose periods, which saw him celebrate the strength of one colour as a way of reflecting his life at a particular time. Our artist, Robert Oxley, champions the power of a single colour in his more recent works, including his striking tiger portrait ‘Uprising’.
This year will see the technique of colour drenching evolve with the onset of ‘double drenching’, which uses two or more colours that carry different undertones. The perfect choice for indecisive decorators!

Biophilic design aims to connect people with nature through architecture and interior design. For some, this could involve building a shallow pond in their living room – but for most, it's about incorporating natural light, air, shapes and textures into a room, with plants, sensory features and transitional spaces. Biophilic design is claimed to improve cognitive function, productivity and air quality, whilst the connection to nature can support mental wellbeing.
Nature serves as a constant source of inspiration for many of our artists, including sculptor Dan Lane who incorporates floral details into his work, and Raphael Mazzucco, who created an entire collection dedicated to Biophilia.

Minimalism has been an enduring interior trend since the 1960s, coinciding with the art movement of the same name. Whilst minimalism in art can sometimes appear somewhat severe, the likes of artists such as Rothko took a softer, more meditative approach to the trend.
And this year, ‘warm minimalism’ is set to make its way into many living spaces, a style that takes the simplicity of traditional minimalism but combines it with welcoming, cozy features.
Using more of an earthy palette, as opposed to cool tones, warm minimalism incorporates layered textures like satin drapes, bronze sculpture and rattan lighting with functional furniture and limited accessories, giving everything room to breathe.
