As we enter 2025, interior design is set to be more vibrant, bold, and forward-thinking than ever before. Designers are embracing bold colors, sustainable materials, and artistic furniture that transform living spaces into expressions of optimism and creativity. According to Pal Pang, Chief Creative Officer of Another Design International and a jury member of the prestigious BLT Built Design Awards, “2025 is a year for designs that go beyond aesthetics — spaces that inspire hope, sustainability, and creativity.”
Here, we break down the top interior design trends for 2025 that are reshaping homes and workspaces alike, reflecting the dynamic changes in style, technology, and environmental consciousness.
1. Bold Colors: Vibrant and Energizing
In 2025, bold, vibrant colors are leading the charge, moving away from neutral tones of the past. Hues like emerald green, sunshine yellow, and cobalt blue are being used to create focal points that brighten spaces and elevate moods. These colors are not only visually striking but evoke energy and optimism, making them ideal for modern interiors.
“Colors set the emotional tone of a space, and in 2025, bright, impactful hues are essential for creating positive, uplifting environments,” says Pal Pang.
2. Sustainability as a Design Essential
Sustainability is more than just a trend — it’s a necessity in 2025 interior design. Designers are using eco-friendly materials like reclaimed wood, natural stone, and organic textiles to create beautiful, environmentally conscious spaces. Sustainability blends with style, making homes more future-proof while maintaining their aesthetic appeal.
“2025 is the year of sustainable design. People are choosing materials that not only look great but also minimize environmental impact,” adds Pang.
3. Dynamic Patterns: Bold and Expressive
Expect to see dynamic patterns take over in 2025, from geometric shapes to oversized florals. These patterns will add energy and excitement to any room, making spaces feel vibrant and full of life. Whether on walls, fabrics, or flooring, bold patterns are a way to inject personality into any design.
“Patterns are about self-expression — they bring movement and creativity to a space,” says Pang. In 2025, bold patterns will dominate as a way to add depth and excitement to interiors.
4. Sculptural Furniture: Design Meets Art
Furniture in 2025 is no longer just functional — it’s also a form of artistic expression. Sculptural furniture is on the rise, with pieces that act as focal points and conversation starters. Expect to see fluid curves, sharp angles, and abstract forms that make a visual impact while remaining practical.
“Furniture is now part of the artistic landscape in homes — it’s about making bold design statements that elevate a space,” Pang explains.
5. Dynamic Lighting: Brightening the Future
Lighting continues to play a crucial role in 2025 design, with a focus on maximizing natural light and incorporating innovative lighting solutions that adapt to different moods. Smart lighting systems will help create the perfect ambiance throughout the day, while bold lighting fixtures like oversized pendants will add a touch of drama.
“Lighting can completely transform a space, enhancing colors, patterns, and textures,” says Pang. In 2025, lighting design will help set the tone for each room, making it an essential part of every interior.
