9 Interior Trends for 2025

Drawing on insights from the design industry and expertise from ScS Interior Stylist Victoria Foster, this year's trends emphasise individuality, sustainability, and comfort while keeping style at the forefront.

“The right sofa is more than just furniture — it’s the heart of your living space,” Foster explains. “It sets the tone for your décor and anchors the colour palette, making it the perfect starting point for exploring the trends of 2025.”

Here are the top interior design trends for the year ahead, curated by Victoria Foster:

1. Bold colours and patterns

Vivid hues like emerald green, deep blue, and jewel tones will dominate interiors, bringing energy and sophistication. Paired with bold geometric patterns, they create a striking visual statement.

Stylist’s tip: Experiment with geometric cushions, throws, or rugs to embrace this trend subtly, or go bold with colourful statement pieces.

2. Colour drenching

Immerse your space in a single hue for dramatic impact. Colour drenching uses one tone across walls, ceilings, and even furniture, creating an enveloping and transformative look.

Stylist’s tip: Opt for rich, saturated colours to maximise the effect, and tie in matching accessories for cohesion.

3. Curved shapes

Soft, rounded furniture like curved sofas will bring a welcoming, organic aesthetic to living spaces. Perfect for open-plan layouts, these shapes enhance the sense of flow. Reflecting the growing popularity of this trend, searches for curved sofas have risen by 20% over the past six months.

Stylist’s tip: Pair curved designs with plush boucle or velvet upholstery for a luxurious touch.

4. Multifunctional furniture

Modern homes demand versatility. Furniture that adapts — like sofa beds or modular seating—balances style with practicality, making it perfect for multifunctional living spaces.

Stylist’s tip: Select pieces that are both functional and stylish to maximise space and comfort year-round.

5. Maximalist aesthetics 

Layered textures, bold colours, and eclectic details define maximalism. Tufted sofas, intricate patterns, and mixed materials like velvet and leather celebrate the “more is more” philosophy.

Stylist’s tip: Balance vibrant elements with carefully chosen accents to keep the space cohesive yet expressive.

6. Quiet luxury style

Understated elegance reigns supreme with minimalist sofas in neutral tones like taupe, greige, or cream. Subtle details, such as sleek metal legs or clean lines, add sophistication.

Stylist’s pick: Our Ferndale 3-seater with tapered oak or walnut legs is a perfect fit for this timeless look.

7. Warm wooden tones

Sofas with wooden accents—like exposed wood frames or legs—connect interiors to nature, bringing warmth and cosiness to any room.

Stylist’s tip: Complement your sofa with wooden side tables or coffee tables to create harmony.

8. Bringing the outdoors in

Biophilic design continues to flourish, with natural materials and indoor greenery blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces.

Stylist’s tip: Pair botanical-print cushions or throws with lush indoor plants to achieve a serene, nature-inspired atmosphere.

9. Chrome and metallic elements

Modern metallic finishes—like matte or brushed chrome—offer a sleek, understated aesthetic that pairs well with minimalist and industrial styles.

Stylist’s tip: Use chrome accents sparingly to add a contemporary edge without overpowering the space.
