One theme several designers agreed upon was a growing emphasis on physical and mental well-being at home. “Clients continue to ask for wellness areas—spas, gyms,” says designer Nicole Hollis, who fields requests for water circuits, sauna steam rooms, and cold plunges.
1. At-Home Wellness Spaces
A growing emphasis on physical and mental well-being at home. More people continue to ask for wellness areas—spas, gyms. The trend doesn’t always require a sprawling footprint. More requests for places that feel private and personal, like a quiet reading nook or a wellness room where you can just breathe and unwind, even meditation alcoves can serve as sanctuaries within the home.
2. Even More Clay and Ceramics
The use of cerics and clay shows no signs of slowing down, as designers continue to embrace their organic appeal. Ceramic lighting, tables, fireplace surrounds, and mirrors will continue to be incorporated into interiors. Highlighting a broader embrace of natural materials. Clay-based products and natural plasters are being rediscovered for their tactile appeal and environmental benefits.
3. Amped Up Earth Tones
brown will be offering endless versatility and a connection to nature that feels just right for the times. There are so many shades to play with, and it can act as a soft neutral or a rich moody tone. Brown is timeless. It’s always been a grounding color. Clay-toned browns coming through, which bring a bit of natural warmth and feel very connected to the earth.
In addition to brown hues, earth tones are set to dominate interiors in 2025. Shades like deep burgundy, navy blue, saturated greens, and terracotta will be prominent, adding depth and sophistication to spaces.
4. A Return to Classic Furniture
A return to the classics when it comes to furniture—less curved sofas, more structure. Less boucle, more patterns. Modern minimalism will take more of a backseat across the board. Meanwhile, More minimal Art Deco rooms, minimal Colonial American rooms, and minimal formal, French rooms.
5. Nods to Nature
Natural materials bring warmth and texture. Peope are gravitating toward stones, woods, and natural fibers. The raw, untreated materials that age beautifully, giving spaces a sense of history and grounding.
Bringing the outdoors in. Integrating nature into the built environment is more important than ever, especially in urban settings. This could mean larger indoor plants, living walls, or even natural materials like stone, wood, and clay.
6. A Focus on Comfort
Comfort may be a bit of a dirty word in the design trade, whether through spaces designed to add ease to daily rituals or through silhouettes that are more laidback. Breakfast nooks have become a constant request—a space that feels more casual than a dining room but more intentional than barstools at a countertop, I always incorporate performance fabrics and a banquette to create an elevated but easy feel. This balance of elegance and ease is also reflected in living rooms. We’re seeing shapes that invite comfort and a softer, more relaxed environment, more soft, comfortable materials gaining traction.
7. Individualistic Interiors
More than ever before, people lean into individualistic interiors—a style that fits their lifestyle over trends. We are revisiting eclecticism in a less bohemian, maximalistic way.”
Individuality will always set your space apart. How do your interiors, music, fragrance, fashion, and art collections connect? That is the question everyone should be asking of themselves going into 2025. This is where you will find your style.
