12 Design Trends We're Watching In 2025

With 2025 upon us, we're preparing to welcome new and old design trends into our homes.

From innovative patterns and materials to reinvigorated classics, here are 12 decor trends that we'll be seeing everywhere this year.

 

1. Return to Memphis

This reinterpretation of the Memphis Group's style—an '80s-era design group born out of Milan—draws inspiration from its original principles, but with a fresh take. Exaggerated geometric shapes, bright colours, eclectic patterns, and innovative sculptural shapes rule.

The motto: attract attention and spark conversation. By embracing this trend, we create an environment that celebrates creativity, individuality, but above all, the joy of living.

 

2. Terracotta

Long shunned, terracotta seems to be making a comeback. This palette of warm tones invites us to return to the use of natural materials. This trend is distinguished by contrasts with textures that are reflected in tables, chairs, lamps, and mirrors. The use of clay, stone, organic textiles, light wood, and matte metals contributes to creating inviting spaces.

 

3. Reimagined minimalism

While the last decade has seen a dominance of strict minimalism, this year marks a shift towards a warmer approach to minimalism. More than just a trend, it is a true philosophy of life that favours pared-down spaces, where each element is carefully chosen to create a serene ambiance and understated sophistication.

We love furniture with clean lines and simple shapes, and to add dimension with textiles such as soft rugs, textured cushions, and wool throws. The key? The right balance between simplicity and comfort.

 

4. Strawberry

Playful strawberry patterns are making a remarkable comeback in the world of decor. Whether printed on curtains, cushions or tablecloths, or as decorative elements on tableware or accessories, this fresh trend brings a touch of originality to any space. 

 

5. Crazy about curves

2025 is all about being inspired by decors with organic and soft accents. Opting for arched partitions, curved kitchens or rounded sofas takes us back to classic '60s styles.

 

6. Feature doors

Transform your doors into works of art by painting them, along with their frames, in contrasting colours. For maximum trendiness, opt for one of the trend colours of the year. In doing so, you bring a touch of style and sophistication to any room. 

 

7. Budding barista

Move aside, bars—it's coffee's time to shine. Start by investing in a stylish and practical coffee machine, complete with matching mugs and brewing accessories. Depending on your taste, add in matching storage containers for coffee grounds and sugar, or glass bottles for your flavour syrups.

 

8. Light art

In 2025, table lamps are no longer just a source of light: they are becoming true works of art. We're looking at original lampshades, sculptural feet, pastel colours, or even minimalist curves. While the designs vary, trendy lighting fixtures tend to have fine geometric lines and opal glass globes in common. More futuristic models are distinguished by a geometric structure in glass or plastic.

 

9. Chic chrome

Chrome evokes not only a futuristic vibe, but also nods to 1970s design. Whether in the kitchen with sparkling faucets and accessories, in your entryway with chrome door handles, or in the living room with furniture with shiny finishes, chrome is invited into every room of the house to reflect light with elegance. 

 

10. Stripes on stripes

Stripes are making a comeback, but not just any stripes. They're thick lines often combined with white or ecru to create a contrasting effect. For those who prefer a more subtle approach, a simple striped cushion on a minimalist sofa is enough to transform your aesthetic. Stripes can also be used to play with perspective and give the illusion of height or width to a room. 

 

11. Retro refinement

From iconic 1950s pieces to bold designs from the 1970s, we're celebrating the beauty of the past and the timeless charm of retro design by incorporating vintage furniture into our interiors. We're especially focusing on materials like wood and velvet, which bring in warmth and authenticity. This fusion of old and new reflects a desire to rediscover the essence of design while tying in modern notes.

 

12. Green refuge

With many calling it the new grey, we're continuing to see green everywhere this year. This organic shade is particularly vibrant on bathroom and kitchen tiles.
