Interior design moves in cycles. After years of cool minimalism and all-white spaces, 2025 brings warmth back into our homes.
The biggest shift? People want spaces that feel lived-in and personal, not showroom-perfect. Here's what's actually trending this year and what's fading out.
What's In for 2025
**Warm minimalism**
Clean lines remain popular, but with softer materials and warmer tones. Think less IKEA showroom, more Japanese ryokan.
**Curved furniture**
Rounded sofas, arched doorways, and organic shapes break up the sharp edges that dominated the 2010s.
**Earthy color palettes**
Terracotta, olive green, warm browns, and creamy whites replace the cool grays of previous years.
**Textured walls**
Limewash paint, plaster finishes, and stone veneer add depth and character.
**Vintage and antique pieces**
Mixing one-of-a-kind finds with modern furniture creates more interesting spaces than matching sets.
**Statement lighting**
Sculptural pendants and floor lamps serve as art pieces.
What's Fading Out
**All-white kitchens and interiors**
While white isn't dead, the all-white-everything approach feels dated. Expect more color and contrast.
**Fast furniture**
Disposable furniture is out. People invest in fewer, better pieces that last.
**Matchy-matchy rooms**
Perfectly coordinated furniture sets look staged. Mix and match is the new standard.
**Barn doors**
The farmhouse trend peaked around 2018. Barn doors now signal "outdated."
**Open shelving everywhere**
Practical? No. Dusty? Yes. Closed storage makes a comeback.
**Cool gray everything**
The gray paint craze is over. Warmer neutrals take its place.
Updating Your Space Without a Full Renovation
You don't need to gut your home to feel current. Small changes make a big impact:
**Quick updates:**
- Swap out cool-toned pillows for earthy ones
- Add a curved mirror or round side table
- Change cabinet hardware to matte black or brass
- Introduce one vintage piece
**Medium projects:**
- Paint an accent wall with limewash
- Replace dated light fixtures
- Add texture with a stone or brick veneer panel
- Reupholster a sofa in a warm fabric
**Worth the investment:**
- Quality art that you actually love
- A statement piece of furniture
- Custom built-ins that fit your space
