What’s Out in 2025

These once-popular styles are making way for a more expressive and welcoming approach to interiors:

  • Plain Walls & Empty Spaces – Unadorned walls and vacant spaces with no color, texture, or pattern are fading fast. It’s time to infuse your space with depth and personality.

  • Furniture & Accessories with No Personality – Cookie-cutter pieces and lifeless decor are out. Your home should tell your story and should feel curated, not staged.

  • Navy, Cool Colors & Gray – Cool tones are taking a backseat to rich, warm hues that make spaces feel inviting.

  • Minimalism – Sparse, sterile rooms are making way for lived-in, layered spaces full of character.

  • Solid White Upholstery – While beautiful, solid white furniture can feel too precious for real life. Bold, patterned upholstery is taking its place.

  • Perfection – Overly styled, picture-perfect rooms are being replaced by un-done, welcoming spaces that feel effortless and cozy.

What’s In for 2025

  • Wallpaper & Oversized Art – Whether it’s a bold print, a statement mural, or a large-scale piece of art, walls (and ceilings!) are becoming a focal point.

  • Custom Furniture, Collected Pieces & Interesting Accents – Say goodbye to generic furniture and accessories and hello to custom, one-of-a-kind, personality-filled pieces.

  • Unexpected Color Combinations & Bold Color – 2025 is all about rich, saturated hues and surprising color pairings that bring energy to your home.

  • Pattern Mixing – Instead of playing it safe, layer different patterns—florals, stripes, and geometrics—to create a collected and dynamic look.

  • Maximalism – Embrace the bold, eclectic, and layered approach to design, where more is more. Maximalism is all about combining patterns, colors, and textures to create a rich, vibrant environment.

  • Boldly Patterned Upholstery – Patterned sofas, printed accent chairs, and vibrant textiles are here to stay.

  • Un-done, Welcoming, Cozy Spaces – Think rooms that feel effortlessly stylish, lived-in, full of layers, and naturally inviting.

Designer Tips for Bringing These Trends Home

Want to embrace these 2025 trends? Here’s what some of our Design Consultants suggest:

  • Amy’s Tip: Incorporate texture, bold patterns, and contrast welt on custom furniture for added dimension. Accessorize with your favorite travel finds for a “well-traveled room” that tells your story.

  • Ana’s Tip: Accessories are key. Layer books, plants, and personal decor to add warmth. Pattern-on-pattern fabrics and a mix of antiques with new pieces create a lived-in, curated look.

  • Cherisse’s Tip: Don’t be afraid of fun patterns and colors on any textile in your space. Whether it’s upholstery, drapes, or pillows, bold textiles make all the difference.
