Interior Design Trends to Watch for in 2025
As we head into 2025, interior design is leaning in—to comfort, sustainability, and soul. This year’s trends aren’t just about what looks good (though, yes, we love a visual moment); they’re about what feels right. Whether you’re gut-renovating your Austin bungalow or just zhuzhing up a corner of your condo, these trends are here to inspire a home that’s both beautiful and deeply personal.
Let’s dive into the interior design trends we’re loving for 2025—what’s in, what’s out, and what’s totally you.
1. Sustainable Materials & Eco-Friendly Everything
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a lifestyle shift, and in 2025, it’s showing up in gorgeous, tangible ways. Think reclaimed wood beams, hemp or linen upholstery, and furniture crafted with intention and low impact.
Eco-conscious design now includes:
- Energy-efficient appliances that blend seamlessly into the space
- Upcycled vintage treasures (hello, personality!)
- Low-VOC paints and finishes for healthier homes
Pro tip: Sustainability doesn't mean sacrificing style. It means choosing pieces that feel good, do good, and look stunning doing it.
2. Biophilic Design: Nature, But Make It Interior
We’re still obsessed with biophilic design—and 2025 is taking it even further. It’s not just about a few houseplants anymore. It's about infusing your space with the textures, tones, and serenity of the natural world.
What’s trending:
- Living green walls and vertical gardens
- Stone accents and natural wood finishes
- Earthy color palettes inspired by Texas sunsets and wildflower trails
Let nature in, and your whole home breathes easier.
3. Minimalist Maximalism: The Best of Both Worlds
Meet the design oxymoron we love in 2025: minimalist maximalism. It’s clean and intentional... but also expressive and bold. Think:
- A neutral backdrop with pops of personality
- One oversized piece of art or a dramatic light fixture
- Sculptural furniture that doubles as conversation starters
The vibe? Calm, but not quiet. Minimal, but never boring.
4. Smart Tech, Seamless Style
Tech is getting chicer. In 2025, smart home integration is less “geek squad” and more “James Bond meets boutique hotel.”
Look out for:
- Sofas with built-in speakers or charging ports
- Lighting that shifts with your circadian rhythm
- Kitchen appliances that track groceries and look stunning
Smart homes are no longer cold or clinical—they’re intuitive, cozy, and beautifully designed to make life easier.
5. Vintage Revival: Nostalgia With a Twist
Design is feeling nostalgic this year, but with a polished update. The vintage revival is bringing back the best of decades past—think mid-century silhouettes, 70s color palettes, and art deco glam—but reimagined with modern finishes and flair.
Expect to see:
- Velvet, brass, and smoked glass
- Reupholstered heirlooms with unexpected prints
- Antique markets becoming your new Saturday ritual
Because sometimes, the perfect piece is the one with a story.
6. Multifunctional Spaces for Real Life
Open-plan living is still having a moment, but now it’s all about flexibility. In 2025, design is making room for real life—WFH zones, yoga corners, craft stations, and cozy reading nooks... all within the same space.
Key pieces:
- Storage ottomans, extendable dining tables, fold-out desks
- Bookcases as room dividers
- Daybeds that moonlight as guest beds
In short: your furniture should work as hard as you do.
7. Warm, Earthy Color Palettes
Goodbye sterile gray, hello terracotta dreams. Warm tones are back, and they’re making everything feel softer, richer, and more grounded.
Color crushes for 2025:
- Clay, rust, ochre, and deep olive
- Rich browns and toasty caramels
- Muted pinks and soft ochres that feel like golden hour year-round
These palettes pair beautifully with natural materials and give your home that inviting, lived-in glow.
8. Customization Is Queen
This year, your home should feel like you—not like a catalog. 2025 is all about personalization and layered storytelling.
Ideas to explore:
- Custom-built furniture and bespoke millwork
- Art commissions or gallery walls of personal photos
- Styling with heirlooms, handmade ceramics, and things that spark joy
Mass-produced is out. Meaningful is in.
Final Thoughts
2025 isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about choosing the ones that resonate. Whether it’s embracing sustainable living, layering on the warmth, or curating a home that feels as unique as your favorite playlist, this year’s interior design trends are all about living beautifully and authentically.
