Now that the New Year is in full swing, the last remnants of Christmas decorations are safely tucked away and you're probably ready to revamp your home for a new chapter.
As we look forward to longer days and warmer weather, design your living space to reflect this new era. Here are some of the top interior design trends for 2025, from mixed metal fixtures to neutral earth tones to even more maximalism.
Mixed metals
Were you ever told as a child that you shouldn't mix gold and silver jewelry? This year, the former taboo is very trendy, especially at home games.
Whether you're looking to update your lighting, cabinets, or bathroom fixtures, mixing metals is a surefire way to add contrast and visual interest to a room. So don't be afraid to combine bronze with black or even nickel with brass.
Some people may consider mixing metals to be characteristic of industrial decor. However, even in more neutral spaces, this can be done subtly and add an unexpected touch of elegance.
Textured walls
Textured walls will continue to be the focus in 2025 as people look to add more warmth and character to their homes. You can go beyond flat, painted surfaces and use textured surfaces such as lime plaster, plaster or wallpaper for added depth and personality.
By combining visual and tactile appeal, this trend creates a cozy atmosphere that suits both modern and traditional design styles. You can also have fun experimenting with different combinations.

For example, try making a bold statement with wood paneling. Or go for a soft, rustic touch with a neutral lime color.
Sustainable statement pieces
It should come as no surprise that sustainability continues to shape the future of interior design, emphasizing style and environmental responsibility. Homeowners and designers alike are embracing materials that are eco-friendly, durable and non-toxic.
From vegan leather to reclaimed wood, the focus is on creating long-lasting designs that minimize waste while maximizing impact.
This year will also bring a new appreciation for antiques, handmade artisan goods and one-of-a-kind pieces. Incorporating reused or vintage items not only reduces our environmental impact, but also adds a layer of history to your space.
Neutral earth tones
When it comes to interior color palettes, earthy neutrals rule 2025. Hues like terracotta, sage and ocher provide a down-to-earth aesthetic and a sense of calm.
However, the true beauty of earth-toned neutrals lies in their versatility. You can use these shades as a background or as statement accents. In any case, the tones harmonize with a range of styles, from minimalist to bohemian.
Additionally, by combining with natural materials such as stone, wood or woven textures, you can achieve an even more unified look that is both timeless and refreshingly modern.
Organic silhouettes
In recent years, many homeowners have moved away from strict, geometric lines in favor of more organic silhouettes. Now curved edges have even more meaning and are combined with wavy edges.
Together, these elements create a free-flowing aesthetic that can easily brighten up any room. To incorporate this trend into your home, look for wave-shaped lamps, curved sofa chairs, rounded coffee tables, and curved accessories.
Maximalism
Last but not least, maximalism is a rebellion against the “millennial gray” trend that became increasingly popular in the 2010s. Using bold colors, complex patterns, and a mix of textures, maximalism creates spaces that are undeniably rich and atmospheric.
However, that doesn't mean you should buy a ton of brand new decor pieces for your home. Instead, just start with a neutral base to ensure balance. Then gradually build up layers of color, pattern, and texture that reflect your personal style and emphasize your individuality.
