As we tie a bow on 2024, we asked designers across the country to share their predictions for interior design trends in 2025. From personality-driven spaces to a rise in statement wallcoverings to color forecasting and more, they had a lot to say about what might be on the horizon. Read on to get the scoop.
Interior Design Trends 2025
Wallcoverings To Up The Drama
“I'm incredibly excited about where wallcoverings are heading in 2025, and this stunning crane mural wallpaper is exactly what I'm talking about. The walls become our canvas, and these murals transform into the art itself. It's not just about pattern anymore; it's about creating these immersive environments that add architectural depth and drama to a space while still feeling sophisticated and intentional.”

More Maximalist Design
"Mallory Mathison Inc. is known for color, maximalism and our use of incorporating both antiques and contemporary elements. We think these elements will continue to define design in 2025 as homeowners seek to add warmth and character to their homes through color, patterns, and layers that include both large statements and small details."

Personalized Spaces
"I hope to see a return to individuality: good design really is personal design, at its core. After a decade of algorithmic driven singularity, I think people are really appreciating the idiosyncrasies of truly customized design. We’ve received more and more client inquiries lately that are primarily focused on ensuring that we will design bespoke residences highly curated to the homeowners and their tastes and interests, versus integrating any one look or trend. This may look contemporary in nature to one client, and resemble traditional Americana to another, but at its core, it’s about designers really listening to who their clients are and honoring that essence in unique and creative ways."

Layer On The Limewash
"I expect to see more color being incorporated into design, and in all types of ways, not just paint color, which is really exciting. Also, the texture and finishes of walls will be really important with people continuing to lean towards more limewash and plaster options for walls."

Grounded, Lived-In Spaces
"In 2025, we expect clients to continue leaning into color choices that feel personal and resonate emotionally, prioritizing hues that make their spaces feel inviting and grounded. While individual preferences will always take precedence, we’re seeing a growing comfort with warm, moody tones—a fresh take on the earthy palettes that gained popularity in the 1990s. This updated version feels softer and more organic, incorporating rich terracotta, muted ochre, deep olive green, and warm browns balanced with creamy neutrals and soft blush undertones."

Playing With Color
"I'm excited to have more and more clients wanting to experiment with color in their homes. I'm seeing a lot of muted, cool tones like dusty blue being used, along with the rise of deep, earthy tones for a bolder look."

New Twists On Old Techniques
"Limewash paints and plasters have been celebrated for their soft, textured finish, but for 2025, we’ll see this technique take a dramatic turn. Think deep aubergine, smoky graphite, or even saturated green tones—rich, tactile walls that feel like art in themselves. This twist on the trend is perfect for creating bolder, atmospheric interiors. The mix of natural, organic finishes with bold, modern colors adds an unexpected elegance. It’s perfect for clients wanting timeless character without sacrificing drama. This trend will inspire a resurgence in traditional craftsmanship, with plaster artisans taking center stage in luxury design."

Au Naturale
"One trend I think we will be seeing more of in 2025 is the use of bold natural stones. From bathrooms to kitchens to furniture, people are embracing the natural patterns and colors that can be found in nature."

Earthy Neutrals
"Clients are likely to be drawn to palettes inspired by Pantone's Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse. Described as 'sophisticated with an earthy elegance,' this warm neutral offers both depth and versatility. It complements a range of design styles, from minimalist to more intricate and detailed aesthetics."
- Annie Obermann, Forge & Bow | Fort Collins, Colorado

Expressing Individuality
"Artisanal pieces will be taking center stage in 2025. People are seeking more individuality in the spaces they are trying to transform. There also a huge emphasis on wellness, bringing in loads of greenery and offering moments of tranquility to alleviate from daily stressors."

Love For Layered Spaces
"I am seeing a more color forward 2025. Hints of neo-classicism are coming up even in modern interiors. People are opting for more layered homes over minimalism and spaces that feel more personal and a little less perfect. Textured walls and cozy spaces. Adding more function is critical with adding in more storage."
- Susie Novak, Susie Novak Interiors | Oakland, California

Patterns + Textures Go Hand In Hand
"Minimalism is taking a backseat as we see a shift toward a more layered, maximalist approach. Expect to see bolder patterns mixing florals, geometrics, and abstract designs. Textures like nubby fabrics and plush velvets will create depth and visual interest. Upholstered pieces in striking prints, layered with patterned pillows, will be key players, lending an eclectic, collected-over-time vibe."

Statement Wallpaper
"We will begin to see more statement wallpaper taking over. Less neutral grasscloths and more bold patterns will act as a great focal point within spaces. This can be interpreted in a number of different design styles, which will make it really interesting to see across the industry."

More Multifunctional Spaces
"Kitchen nooks are making a big comeback in 2025! Think cozy, multifunctional spaces for dining, reading, or working—complete with built-in seating and playful prints."

A Mix Of Styles
"There is likely to be a continuum of both maximalism, characterized by color-rich environments, and minimalism, defined by layered neutrals. This trend seems poised to continue due to the diverse preferences of individuals today. In our firm, we emphasize the importance of layering patterns, textures, and colors to guide our clients in creating their ideal spaces."
