Design Trends for 2025: A Sneak Peek
Welcome to the future of interior design!
In Episode 37 of our podcast Two Gins In - A Designer’s Perspective, we explored the hottest trends shaping interiors in 2025. From colour palettes to vintage decor, the episode is packed with inspiration for anyone looking to refresh their space or start a new project. If you’re a fan of design, this blog post is your gateway to what’s trending — and why you should make it your own.
Pantone’s 2025 Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse, is an earthy, grounding tone perfect for creating warmth and depth in any room. We spoke in the pod about its versatility, particularly when paired with trending shades like:
Red: Back in various bold and muted tones.
Pale Blue: Perfect for a serene, calming effect.
Yellow: Adds a pop of cheer and brightness.
Vintage pieces are more than just decor; they’re storytellers. Adding character and charm, these elements bring a personal touch to modern spaces. Whether it’s a statement piece of furniture or a collection of antique decor, embracing vintage allows your home to reflect your unique journey.
Say goodbye to exclusively matte finishes and hello to the return of chrome and silver. These shiny accents bring a sleek, contemporary edge to kitchens, bathrooms, and beyond, proving that what’s old can indeed be new again.
Depth and dimension are taking centre stage in 2025. By layering patterns and textures, you can create spaces that feel rich and inviting without being overwhelming. Think woven textiles, bold wallpapers, and textured rugs working together in harmony.
Rooted in Japanese aesthetics, Wabi-Sabi started trending in the later part of 2024. It embraces imperfection and authenticity. Incorporating handcrafted elements or items with natural flaws can add a sense of serenity and individuality to your home.
This bold technique involves using one colour throughout a space to create a cosy, cocoon-like atmosphere. It’s perfect for smaller rooms or areas where you want to make a dramatic statement. One way of doing this is by painting the walls, ceiling, architraves, doors, basically every surface the one colour.
One of the core messages in our podcast episode is that while trends are exciting, they should never overshadow personal preference. Trends are tools for inspiration, not rules to be followed rigidly. Small updates, such as incorporating a trending colour or material, can refresh your home without requiring a complete overhaul.
