8 Interior Design Trends Shaping 2025

It’s already a few months into the year (we can’t believe it either), and certain home trends are already defining 2025. We wanted to know if these are just beginning-of-the-year fads or if they’re here to stay, so we asked industry pros to weigh in on what they anticipate will be in vogue the rest of the year. If you’re looking to embrace pops of pink, experiment with a decorative ceiling, or just incorporate a bit more texture into your home, you’re in luck! Here are the top interior design trends for 2025, according to pro decorators.

Muddy Pinks

It’s time to think pink—but in a new way, shares Gray Walker, the founder of Gray Walker Interiors. “We will see a shift from the preppy Barbie pinks to a muddier pink,” the designer says. “A warmth and elegant sophistication exudes from a pink with a clay undertone.”

Those who view the color as strictly juvenile may change their outlook. This muddy hue has what Walker describes as a “big girl vibe.”

Decorative Ceilings

This year, decorative ceilings are “poised for a revival,” says Sara Swabb, the founder of Storie Collective. “From intricate moldings and coffered designs to vibrant colors and bold patterns, an eye-catching ceiling can elevate the entire room’s design,” she explains.

Swabb appreciates that a decorative ceiling brings “a sense of height and drama” and also serves as “a unique focal point that differentiates the space.” She encourages people to have fun with wallpaper, bring in eye-catching architectural details such as exposed beams, and more.

Blending Vintage and Modern Lighting

The art of blending vintage and modern lighting is a “standout design trend” for 2025, Swabb says. “By mixing these two distinct styles, designers are creating spaces that are both dynamic and timeless, balancing nostalgia with contemporary appeal,” she says.

Not sure where to begin? “Imagine pairing a sleek, minimalist pendant with a vintage Murano glass lamp or delicate plug-in shaded sconce,” Swabb offers. “This juxtaposition brings character and depth to interiors, allowing for a unique interplay of texture, color, and light.”

Color Drenching

Color drenching is still very in. If you simply can’t get enough of a particular hue, don’t be shy about utilizing it on the walls, trim, built-ins, ceiling, and more. “When done thoughtfully, it creates an immersive, cocoon-like effect that brings a unique depth and cohesion to the space,” Swabb says.

The shade you select will greatly influence the overall vibe of the room, the designer explains. “For example, soft, muted greens can transform a room into a serene retreat, while deeper, saturated blues or burgundies can make the space feel luxurious and intimate,” she says. “This design approach emphasizes color as the main character, creating a memorable atmosphere that feels intentional and deeply personal.”

Textured Walls

Many designers are eager to think beyond traditional paint and are experimenting with all kinds of textured walls, as Brad Ramsey, the founder of Brad Ramsey Interiors, explains. “Whether wallpaper, wood paneling or plaster finishes, we are craving the warmth and coziness that these elements bring into our homes and spaces,” he says.

Theresa Butler, the founder of Theresa Butler Interiors, underscores the resurgence that wallpaper is having as of late. “This isn’t the wallpaper of your grandmother’s living room, though the nostalgic look is still available if desired,” she says. Rather, she adds, there are a multitudes of colors, patterns, and textures on the market, allowing for “more creative and bold design choices.”

Anything-but-Ordinary Pantries and Sculleries

Ramsey says that many of his clients are eager to incorporate large pantries and sculleries into their homes and explains that in addition to serving a functional purpose, such an area allows for plenty of experimentation design-wise. “It can also be a space to be more adventurous with color and not feel like it sets the tone for your main kitchen,” he says.

Lindsay Rhodes, the founder of Lindsay Rhodes Interiors echoes similar sentiments. “These hardworking spaces deserve just as much style as the rest of your home,” she says, “A fun design moment here can elevate the everyday, turning the place where you make the mess into a space that feels just as curated as your kitchen.”

Spa-Like Touches

Designers are seeing spa-like elements make their way into homes in a variety of ways. Lauren Lerner, the founder of Living with Lolo, has received an increasing number of requests for “spa-like wellness rooms for convenient living.” Ramsey agrees. “Think large format tiles, floating vanities, steam showers, saunas, and all of the smart technology that make it feel like an escape right at home,” he says.

Creative TV Displays

Alexandra Clark, the co-founder of Ashdown Studio, understands that most homeowners are going to want to display a TV or two—despite how unattractive they can be in a room’s design. The trick is determining how to install a television without letting it overpower a space, and creative setups are therefore majorly in vogue.

“We have found that insetting your TV and hanging art on hinges over it is always a favorite,” Clark says. “The art complements and, oftentimes, completes the design of the space, while hanging it on hinges provides easy access to your comfort shows.”
