2025 Design Trends
The Forecast
It’s that time of year to dive into the trends we are seeing in the forecast for 2025.
It’s worth noting that following trends aren’t mandatory; you should feel free to express your unique style, regardless of what’s popular. That said, we’re excited to highlight a few key trends that we and various sources believe will stand out in the months ahead.
Stay tuned as we break down these anticipated trends and how they can be interpreted to suit your personal flair!
1. More is More with Maximalism
While minimalism has dominated interior design for years, a shift is on the horizon for 2025! Designers are moving towards a fresh trend: maximalism. We’re saying goodbye to the less-is-more mindset and welcoming a vibrant, eclectic approach to our living spaces.
Though maximalism isn’t entirely new, it has made a spirited comeback with a modern twist! Today’s version invites individuals to create spaces that reflect their unique personalities and facilitate self-discovery.
This trend is all about boldness and making a statement. Imagine a mix of diverse patterns, lively colours, and pure joy.
It encourages you to uncover your authentic self and transform your surroundings into a reflection of who you truly are. The emphasis is on curating pieces that tell a story, prioritizing quality over quantity, and genuinely expressing individuality.
2. The Comfort of Colour
Embrace Earthy Tones
Ditch the cooler tones and welcome warm, inviting hues instead. Earthy shades like terracotta and olive will forge a strong connection to nature.
Pairing these colours with organic textures such as linens, ceramics, and plasters can create a cozy and welcoming vibe. Pantone has announced the colour of the year as Mocha Mousse, which closely resembles one of our concrete shades, Earth.
Delight in Dark Colours
While earthy tones take the spotlight, another bold colour trend is emerging: rich, saturated hues. Perhaps look at using forest greens, deep reds, plum purples, and navy blues.
These colours can capture a dramatic and moody atmosphere filled with depth and warmth.
Combining these vibrant shades with neutral tones can achieve a beautifully balanced look.
3. Drenched in Colour
Colour drenching is a design technique where an entire room is painted in a single hue, creating a seamless and immersive atmosphere. This approach can give the illusion of a larger space and eliminate visual interruptions, guiding the eye gracefully around the room.
Taking it further, double drenching includes a second complementary colour. This technique adds visual interest and allows for a more expressive reflection of your personal style. Double drenching enhances architectural features and establishes a bold focal point by pairing a soft neutral with a vibrant accent.
Consider incorporating texture and depth with materials like lime wash or plaster to elevate this effect. Adding various wall treatments, such as shiplap, fluting, or wainscoting, enriches the visual experience and creates an engaging environment showcasing both colours in harmony.
Colour drenching can be a fantastic way to make a bold statement and bring unity to your space!

4. Mix & Match
Transform your environment by blending an eclectic mix of materials—think metals, woods, and stone—to enhance the depth and character of any room.
Bring variety with different metals—such as brass, copper, or stainless steel—through your choice of lighting fixtures and hardware.
Small details can elevate the overall appearance of your space.
Explore the idea of repurposing furniture to give it a fresh look. The key is to blend natural elements with man-made materials, creating layers of texture and design that truly bring your vision to life.
5. Textures & Walls
Incorporating texture into your space is a fantastic way to introduce new patterns and visual intrigue without overwhelming the senses. Textures can completely transform a room’s atmosphere, making it feel dynamic and inviting.
Creating a tactile experience is crucial to enhancing a room’s ambiance. Consider options like textured wallpaper; think grass cloth, or 3D wall panels that add depth while acting as subtle focal points. Other exciting choices include plaster, Roman clay, stucco, and concrete panels!
Concrete panels stand out as an excellent way to enrich your home with texture. They bring character and can easily be tailored to fit your personal taste and style.
The idea for 2025 is to create a visual experience in a space and a tactile one, encouraging that interactive element to the design.

The Trend Takeaway
In 2025, design trends are all about self-expression and individuality. Maximalism, paired with warm earthy tones and vibrant colour drenching, invites us to create spaces that truly reflect our personal identities. By mixing materials and incorporating textured walls, we can bring dynamism and warmth into our surroundings.
Whether you fully embrace these trends or carefully select elements that resonate with you, the goal remains the same: to cultivate a space that feels authentically yours. Get inspired and turn your home into a true reflection of who you are. Make 2025 your year of transformative design!
