Hello 2025!
Every year new designs and trends emerge in fashion and interior design industry. Here are some Decor Trends and "buzz words" we will be hearing in 2025.
Biophilic Design
Incorporating natural elements into a space to create a connection to nature. May include more plants, natural light, and organic materials.

Statement Lighting
Lighting is becoming a focal point in rooms, with oversized pendant lights, sculptural fixtures, and mixed -material lamps.

Natural materials
Organic and natural fibers like organic cotton, linen, and bamboo are being used for rugs , bedding and accessories

Bold Colors
Darker and more muted tones of classic blues, greens, and neutrals are expected to be popular, such as cobalt, navy, forest green, and mushroom

Cuddly Furniture
Deep cushions and body-embracing shapes are being used to create an inviting cozy feel

Earthy Neutrals
These versatile tones can be used as base colors or accents, and can be paired with natural materials

Quiet Luxury
A carry-over trend from last year, this style refers to spaces that feel sophisticated, minimal, and timeless

Textural Variety
Layering different textures in one room, such as velvet, stone, metal, or wood, can add depth and interest

Color Drenching
Color drenching is a popular interior design trend in 2025 that involves painting an entire room one color, including the ceiling, trim, and built-ins. It can create a cohesive, impactful look that's perfect for those who want to make a statement.

Minimalism
It's characterized by simplicity, clean lines, and a monochromatic palette with colour used as an accent. It usually combines an open floor plan, lots of light, and functional furniture, and it focuses on the shape, colour and texture of just a handful of essential elements.

Maximalism
Bold, bright, and playful – just a few of the words used to describe ‘maximalism', the interior design style enjoying a resurgence among decorators. This isn’t a new way of styling our homes; it’s a centuries-old concept that hinges on celebrating the things we love.

The Pantone Color Institute's Color of the Year is chosen by a global team of color experts who look for new color influences around the world.
"The committee takes notice of their surrounding environments and ventures into multiple industries identifying color trends. They strategically attend events ranging from New York fashion Week to London Fashion Week viewing run way shows, art exhibits, pop-up shops and everyday streetwear to see what color dominates." -Greenhouse Fabrics
"The Pantone Color of the Year for 2025 is Mocha Mousse, a medium-shade brown with subtle pink tones. It's a versatile color that can be used as an accent or statement wall, or to cozy up furnishings."-Pantone Color Institute
