By definition, interior trends come and go. And while there are some that deserve to be banned for good (avocado bathrooms, for example), other dated styles seem to be here to stay.
So if you're thinking about redesigning your home this year, you might want to stick with these 5 interior design trends that are making a comeback in 2025.
1. Earthy neutrals
An ongoing trend is the use of earth tones and neutrals. And since Mocha Mousse was unveiled as Pantone's Color of the Year for 2025, experts seem to think it's good for adding warmth to a cozy space.
If you don't want to paint your walls in brown tones, you can add earthy neutrals through accessories and decor. Things like terracotta vases, planters, soft furnishings, rugs or handmade pieces. They are all good for adding warmth to your interiors.
Or if you really want to be “on trend” with your smartphone, you can go for this Motorola Razr+, which just won the Pantone Color of the Year award.
2. Open shelves
There was a time when we were told, “Out of sight, out of mind” when it came to displaying our beloved items in our rooms. In fact, there have been so many storage solutions designed to hide excess items or “clutter” and keep our home tidy and minimalist.
Well, it seems like open shelving is making a comeback, encouraging homeowners to display their dishes or kitchenware.
If you don't have open closet space, floating shelves are a great way to display items, maximize space and are easy to install. These can also add visual impact to any room and create a feature wall.
3. Curve appeal
Given that curved furniture was once popular in the 1970s, these styles are making a comeback. Whether curved sofa, armchair, lighting or decor – the times of straight, clear lines are losing their appeal.
In addition, curved furniture creates an eye-catching accent in the room thanks to its softness and is particularly suitable if you want to make a small room appear larger. If you don't have the space (or desire!) for a curved sofa, you can always opt for round footstools, coffee tables, cushions or even stylish round lamps.
4. Statement rugs
Carpets were once considered outdated and were slowly being replaced by modern hard floors or floor tiles. However, oversized or vintage rugs are making a comeback, instantly transforming a room and adding a touch of color, warmth and character.
Vintage carpets in particular have stood the test of time – and can also be used in heavily frequented areas. Additionally, if you take good care of them, they can be quite low maintenance. With their distinct pattern designs and muted colors, vintage rugs are available in all different sizes and styles to complement your home.
However, before investing in a rug, always take the exact measurements first because you don't want it to overwhelm the space or appear too small in a large room. In any case, vintage rugs are versatile and can be placed from the living room to the kitchen to the entryway. Just avoid having multiple rugs in one area or it will look messy and busy.

5. Maximalist bold colors
It seems like pastels have had their moment, and for 2025 it's all about going big and bold. In particular, opt for vintage-style wallpaper to brighten up a room or bold patterns for the maximalist style.
If you don't want to cover the entire room, you can just stick on one wall at a time. A light or patterned wall adds a pop of color to a neutral room, giving you the best of both worlds. Whether bold colors or geometric, there is a wallpaper design for every home that doesn't look too overwhelming.
