The ever-evolving world of interior design is very much like energy. Nothing ever truly is gone or destroyed: Things keep evolving and changing forms to stay relevant. 2024 was the year of luxurious design with textured walls, plush curved furniture including textured boucle, ‘90s vibe, Victorian-era details, and high-tech lighting to enhance our homes with a touch of natural and neutral materials. Interior design trends for 2025 look different but promising.
There has been a major shift toward wellness and comfort, high-tech energy-efficient electric features, brown as the primary color palette, the rich texture of natural stone, and the coziness of Japandi. 2025 will be about blending style with functionality and wellness while being attuned to a sustainable lifestyle. Read on to learn about the hottest interior design trends for 2025.
Rounded Furniture is Here for Extended Stay
Ever since the turn of the decade, curved furniture with rounded edges has made a play for domination in interior design space. And by the looks of it, this trend has managed to carve out a particular and very vital spot for itself that we are not yet ready to part with.
The rounded furniture is here to stay for a few more years. Think curved sofas, boucle chairs, round tables and consoles. The geometrical form doesn’t extend to tabletops, bulbous sofa backs and cushions. 2025 will witness tables (both for living room and dining area) with cylindrical legs, oblong mirrors, and accent chairs everywhere. This animated modern style will appear in every room incorporating natural, organic materials, and shapes into our homes.
Arches Are Back, Baby!
Arches are one of the most fascinating architectural features. These curved elements have been gaining popularity in the past years. According to the Houzz trends speculations, arches will be a dominating aspect and an extension of the organic modern style in 2025. Designers expect to witness the widespread inclusion of arched mirrors, headboards, and silhouettes of furnishings.
Even people who are not fans of arches in homes will agree that this architectural element adds a touch of playfulness and softens hard angles to create a calming and inviting feel in a space. It also brings a movement to the overall design. The best way to incorporate arches in homes is through doorways, niches, windows, cabinets, and millwork details such as moldings and trims.

Rise of English-Style Kitchen
According to a Houzz home design trends prediction, English country style will take up space in modern kitchens in 2025. Houzz is a community of over 70 million homeowners and interior design buffs, and over 3 million construction and design professionals.
Houzz senior editor Mitchell Parker told Forbes, “Think cabinets in rich woods, and historical paint colors like moody blues and deep greens… This includes countertop materials like soapstone and butcher’s block, large range alcoves, wood ceiling beams, and collected looks that appear pieced together over time.”
According to Parker, natural elements will set up the tone for 2025 kitchens. These design trends will create a holistic and warm cooking space in the house where we spend most time.
Range Hood Alcoves
A popular design trend that designers and we, as well, have witnessed growing in the past years is the integration of alcoves for range hoods. This particular trend is an extension of the English-style kitchens. To embrace this warming style, you can have the range hood set within a recessed alcove or niche, which can be arched and typically flanked by countertops and side walls to give it a dramatic flair.
This helps enhance the architectural verve in the kitchen and creates a substantial focal point. Alcoves are becoming a modern addition to create a timeless kitchen design. This further helps elevate your cooking space from a utilitarian zone to a visually striking space where you would want to spend time.
Rise of Outdoor Cooking Spaces
2024 was the year of the outdoors, whereas, in 2025, homeowners are going to focus more on integrating entertaining aspects in the outdoor spaces. This trend has been on the rise even in the tiny house industry. Whether you are seeking to relax with your family or entertain guests, an outdoor cooking space can help enhance the value of the exterior zone.
It is one of the easiest renovations for the exterior of your house and doesn’t require much investment. Homeowners are putting traditional grills, pizza ovens, smokers, barbecues, and fire pits for an enhanced outdoor area to lounge and entertain.
Embracing Heavy Colors
Gone are the days of beige and white interiors. Modern homeowners are not afraid of embracing bold and heavy color palettes. Although most Americans like the bland beige, boring grays and cool whites, there has been a resistance and shift toward dark tones that bring a personalized touch to the living spaces. Bold, saturated colors are back to create color-draped rooms with a single hue in different shades, offering an impactful look for playful interiors.
According to the designers, there has been a rise in warm neutral palettes, earthy tones and organic colors. If you are thinking of experimenting with dark colors, you need not paint the entire house in one shade. Start slow and paint one wall in a nice contrasting color combination with the rest to create an accent wall that will enhance the appeal of the space.
Earthy Tones and Natural Elements
The color scheme you pick for your home is a great mood setter and an indicator of your sense of style. 2025 will continue to advocate earthy tones and natural elements in interior design. With the popularity of Scandinavian and Japandi designs, modern interiors will embrace earthy colors tones – further strengthened by the different color of the year winners, including Pantone’s Mocha Mousse – that will create a cozy ambiance. Other earthy colors that are gaining mass popularity include terracotta, ochre, and sage.
Along with earthy tones, natural elements will continue to be a fan favorite. There’s a rise in natural stone – marble, granite and slate – inclusion in interiors to provide a visual and tactile experience, giving it a grounded and sophisticated feel.
Inclusion of Home Wellness Spaces
There has been emphasis on wellness spaces in interior design recently, owing to which, dedicated wellness spaces are becoming mainstream. Ranging from tiny yoga studios and meditation rooms to spacious, spa-like bathrooms, people are including areas to nurture and relax both mind and body. To make these spaces more inviting and invigorating, you can include natural light, indoor plants, and calming colors.
You can create fitness zones to workout and meditate and wellness lounges paired with biophilic design to prioritize mental and physical well-being. Another way to incorporate wellness design in your home, explore centered approaches like soundscaping for a calming auditory environment, scentscaping, and a soft, textured surface to engage your senses.
Final Thought
These interior design trends will dominate homes and commercial spaces alike in 2025. A few elements that have been a constant presence in the past couple of years and continue to do so include curved furniture, biophilic design, and a focus on sustainability.
