Interior Design trends are constantly evolving. As we have recently transitioned into the new year we reflect on design trends that are on their way out and trends that are here to stay.
Trends that are ready to be phased out:
Matchy-Matchy Decor
The era of everything needing to match perfectly is fading. Symmetry and uniformity are
being replaced with more eclectic and personalized spaces. Mixing patterns, colors, and
styles adds a sense of uniqueness and comfort that feels more lived-in and dynamic.
Overly Themed Spaces
Themed rooms—like pirate nurseries or sports rooms—are losing favor. People are
moving toward more versatile, timeless spaces that can adapt to different stages of life,
rather than committing to a single theme that may quickly feel outdated.
Industrial-Style Interiors
While elements of industrial design-like exposed brick or raw metals-remain, the overall
"loft" or warehouse look is less in demand. The aesthetic is being softened with warmer
materials, such as wood and textiles, and more balanced design approaches.
Fast Furniture
Cheap, mass-produced furniture designed for quick turnover is on its way out as
sustainability becomes more of a priority. Instead, people are investing in higher-quality,
timeless pieces that will last longer and contribute to a more eco-friendly home.
Here to Stay:
Biophilic (Green) Design
Integrating nature into interiors, either through plants, natural materials, or designs that
connect the indoors with the outdoors, continues to be a popular and enduring trend. It
promotes well-being and mental health, which is why biophilic elements are likely to stay
in demand.

Natural Materials
Wood, stone, and other raw materials are making a strong comeback. Natural textures
add warmth and authenticity to interiors, and their versatility in different design
styles—from rustic to modern—makes them timeless. Expect to see more wood floors,
stone surfaces, and natural-fiber textiles.
Dark, Moody Tones
While light, airy interiors were once the go-to, darker tones (deep blues, rich greens,
charcoal grays) are making a comeback. These hues create a sense of sophistication,
intimacy, and drama, especially in spaces like living rooms or bedrooms.
The Tranquil Hue of Green
Increasingly, the color green is being incorporated into interior designs, particularly as tile in bathrooms and kitchens. Green evoke a sense of comfort and grounding,
which is especially important in our fast-paced, tech-heavy world.

Comfortable, Cozy Spaces
Comfort is a priority in modern interiors. Soft fabrics, plush rugs, inviting lighting, and
ergonomic furniture are being used to create spaces that prioritize relaxation. The
emphasis is on creating a “homey” atmosphere where people can truly unwind.
Interesting light fixtures:
The era of plain and dull lighting is over. Consider lighting fixtures as a chance to showcase your style and flair.

Textured Fabrics and Layering
Textures are key to adding depth and interest to a room. Mixing materials like velvet,
linen, and leather, and layering different textures, is a trend that's here to stay. It gives
spaces a tactile quality and ensures they feel inviting and cozy.

In conclusion, the interior design industry is moving away from minimalist, overly matched spaces towards designs that are personalized, sustainable, and comfortable. As trends change, there is a growing focus on crafting warm, welcoming, and functional settings that mirror individual personalities and ways of life. Here's to 2025!
