Top 10 interior design trends 2025
09 January 2025In recent years there has been a special interest in what’s hot in home decoration. This is due to the amount of time we spend in our homes. Consequently, there is a greater inclination to take care of the aesthetics and the image they project.
Therefore, in interior design trends 2025 we will see this holistic conception of our home as a place for work, relaxation, socialising and entertainment. It is not that our homes, now, are much bigger. On the contrary, they are smaller, but we live more moments in them. That is why it is important that the different rooms in the house adapt to people’s routines.
We invite you to take a look at our selection of the next interior design trends that will define our homes in 2025.
#01 Minimalist large-format surfaces
Luxurious surfaces and finishes in bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and living rooms continue to dominate interior design trends 2025. Throughout this year, XLIGHT(Porcelanosa) large format tiles will continue to create a distinctive look that elevates the space beyond practical function.
By applying this trend to walls and floors, elegant, more uniform spaces with fewer joints are achieved. The XTONEbrand has a select catalogue of designs that, thanks to its large pieces – up to 160 cm x 320 cm – create large and distinguished spaces.
Thanks to a combination of rectified and large-format tiles, the surfaces are continuous and monolithic. We can see this approach expressed dramatically in ‘material saturation’. In this technique, marble-effect tiles are used to clad the wall surfaces of a bathroom, including the bathtub and/or shower cubicle. This finish can also be seen in Porcelanosa’s kitchens by 2025, both in countertops and backsplashes. This achieves a polished and sophisticated aesthetic.

#02 Tactile finishes and natural textures
Trends in interior design 2025 are not only about materials, but also about sensations. Textures – visual and tactile – were omnipresent at design fairs throughout the past year.
For example, the dark grains of wood and the stark patterns of marble add architectural gravity to surfaces. Velvet, chenille and bouclé fabrics turn upholstery and furniture into a mix of tactile sensations, giving spaces personality and character.
On the other hand, textured wall coverings capture the light and create a play of light and shadow. Texture adds dimension and interest to our interiors: from the bedroom to the living room. And textured accessories – blankets, cushions and woven rugs – often in raw organic fabrics, are also part of this sophisticated trend.
#03 Metal furniture, finishes and accessories
Metallic finishes and accessories will continue to be a trend in interior design 2025. This type of detail reflects the light in a room and attracts all eyes. We could say that satin metallic finishes are replacing silver and chrome in kitchen taps. They give a warmer, more tactile feel.
At the same time, copper and brass will also be more visible in the home next year. Unlacquered brass and matt copper with an aged patina are gaining popularity in taps and fittings. The aged and worn look adds a vintageelegance to kitchen sinks and bathroom fittings. The expanded palette of richly coloured metals combines perfectly with cooler silver and chrome fittings. We will see this mainly in living rooms and bedrooms.
#04 Integrated technology
In 2025, the current trend of making technology invisible in our living spaces will continue. The elimination of visible wires, the incorporation of sensor-controlled lighting, the integration of voice- or app-driven services will radically alter our environments. Our homes will become even more versatile than they already are.
With the help of lighting, furniture and designer fittings, new technology will be increasingly present. It is also true that it will be less visually intrusive. In this way, our environments become much more flexible, transforming at the touch of a button or a voice command.
#05 Natural materials and sustainable design
Natural wall treatments such as brick, lime and polished clays are trending in design publications and the advertising industry. The natural, organic quality of these raw finishes is part of a wider trend towards untreated materials such as bamboo, wicker, cork, wood and terracotta.
Caring for the environment is part of our collective conscience. In 2025 it will be common to find materials that are proposed as viable solutions to sustainable design. Furniture, accessories and decorative objects made of rattan, wood from certified forestry and other sustainable sources will be the most visible options.
#06 Local craftsmanship and vintage elements
As in the culinary world, interior design trends 2025 will place much more emphasis on local creativity. In the case of food, this is the ‘farm-to-table’ trend. In terms of design, we will be talking about specific handcrafted pieces that have a story behind them. It could be a vintagepiece, an inherited piece of furniture, or a beautiful handcrafted table made in an atelier in your city. Or perhaps a lamp or other recycled accessory that takes pride of place in the home.
The best way to express this trend is to combine it with other contrasting elements. The most important thing is that everything fits in with the general style and decoration of the room to achieve a perfect match.
#07 The RAW aesthetics
The interior design trends of 2025 will place more emphasis on raw and untreated materials and finishes. Starting with wooden floors, the natural look means that the wood is not stained or coated with a layer of varnish or sealant. Instead, VOC (volatile organic compound) free products, such as natural stains, are used to treat the floorboards.
The look reflects the philosophy of celebrating the natural world, where imperfections add character and personality. The same is true of the raw finishes and fabrics, such as the wood panelling, linens and cottons of the upholstery and furnishings in the house. Shades of cream, beige, brown and off-white provide a natural and tactile colour palette to highlight these materials. This trend is here to stay and will be everywhere this year.
#08 2025 Colour trends
Maximalism will stay in 2025. It’s not so much about cramming every design idea you have into a space. Rather, it’s best to try to add layers of personality and coordinated decorative details.
On the colour front, more subtle and balanced experimentation will dominate. During 2024 we saw colour saturation as a major trend. This is characterised by the use of a single tone on all surfaces in a room. In 2025, the focus will be on two-colour combinations, creating more depth and dynamism in spaces.
The Pantone colour of 2025, Mocha Mousse, is visually comforting and evokes the creamy, frothy texture of dessert. The warm, organic tones of sage green and jade will also adorn homes and hospitality interiors. The prevailing mood for interior trends 2025 is warmth and natural comfort. To reinforce this feeling, colours will be of great help.
#09 Evolution of the Japandi style
The cool neutral tones and clean lines of Japandi interiors are evolving into something warmer. The combination of Scandinavian modernity and timeless Japanese aesthetics is abandoning the minimalist look in favour of a richer beauty. It’s still minimalist, but in 2025 it will be more experiential and thoughtful. That means darker woods, mid-tone colour schemes and more exquisite fabrics. The effect is still focused on calm and harmonious interior decoration, but with more personality.
#10 Broken plan vs. open plan
Open spaces continue to influence the layout of the home and the organisation of rooms in 2025. For this year they bring a small change. Instead of large, undefined spaces that flow into each other, we will see more functional spaces that are visually connected. Arches and partitions will help separate living, dining and sitting areas. Furnishings and décor will be slightly toned down to reflect the function of each zone. The broken floor plan offers all the advantages of the open plan, with the added benefit of being able to accommodate different activities/rooms simultaneously.
