If 2025 had a design mantra, it would be "home, but make it personal." This year is all about spaces that feel curated, lived-in, and undeniably you. Gone are the days of sterile minimalism and cookie-cutter decor—this is the year of romance, heritage, and storytelling through design. Let’s dive into the top seven interior design trends stealing our hearts this year.
1. Vintage Romance: A Love Letter to the Past
Picture yourself strolling through a sun-dappled garden, the scent of roses in the air, a well-worn copy of Anne of Green Gables in hand—this is the spirit of Vintage Romance. Soft floral prints, dusty French blue tones, and intricate pattern play are making their way into our homes, lending an air of nostalgia with a fresh, modern sensibility. It's not about stuffy lace, it's about romanticising our lives in our homes. Think feminine tablescapes adorned with flowers and delicate blue wineglasses, whimsical wallpaper that feels straight out of a countryside manor, and garden elements that bring the outdoors in. The key here is balance—countryside without being overly rustic, nature loving without veering into farmhouse territory. Our vases and runners fit this trend beautifully!

2. East Coast Style: Classic, Timeless, and Refined
New England charm meets 2025 sophistication in this heritage-rich trend. Inspired by places like Martha’s Vineyard and the timeless appeal of historic homes, East Coast Style embraces traditional design elements like chair railings, beautiful medium wood tones, and classic lighting. Interiors are layered with stacks of books, sumptuous pillows, and elegant yet inviting furniture. Old windows with divided panes, antique-inspired finishes, and warm neutrals create spaces that feel rooted in history yet effortlessly chic. Nothing says East Coast Style more than our lanterns.

3. Color Drenching: Goodbye Grey, Hello Rich Hues
While we’ll always love a light and airy aesthetic, 2025 is the year of introducing bold, saturated color. Enter color drenching—the art of layering deep, rich hues like earthy greens, navy, and burgundy to create rooms brimming with depth and warmth. Walls, ceilings, and trim in the same luxurious shade? Yes, please. And if you’re not quite ready to commit, incorporate these hues with richly toned artwork, vibrant rugs, or plush velvet pillows. Beige is making a grand return, replacing grey as the go-to neutral, offering a warm, grounding backdrop to all this sumptuous color.

4. Materials That Age: Aged to Perfection
Shiny and new is out—lived-in elegance is in. This trend celebrates materials that develop character over time, like patinaed brass, reclaimed wood, and worn-in copper finishes. Think antique-inspired kitchen hardware, hand-rubbed metals, and leather that tells a story with every crease. These elements bring warmth, authenticity, and a sense of history to any space. The more you use them, the better they look.

5. Formal Entertaining Spaces: Cozy Conversations Over Screen Time
Say goodbye to the all-consuming television and hello to spaces designed for conversation, connection, and self-care. Formal living rooms are making a comeback, reimagined as inviting spaces for gathering, reading, or simply enjoying a moment of peace. Think plush seating arranged for intimate chats, beautifully styled bookshelves, and statement lighting that sets the mood. Whether it’s a cozy reading nook or a grand salon for hosting, these spaces are all about embracing the art of slow living. Check out our pillows and throws for the ultimate cozy vibe.

6. Kitchen Garden: Fresh, Functional, and Beautiful
The heart of the home is getting a verdant update. Kitchen gardens—once relegated to backyard plots—are now being brought indoors with potted herbs, fresh (or faux) produce on open shelves, and rustic clay pots brimming with greenery. Natural woven materials and organic textures add to the charm, making the kitchen feel alive and inviting. Whether it’s a windowsill lined with basil and rosemary or a dramatic display of cascading vines, this trend infuses homes with freshness and function.

7. Personalized Spaces: More Is More
Minimalism has officially taken a backseat to individuality. 2025 is all about infusing your home with personality—curated collections, heirloom pieces, and bespoke embellishments. Rope detailing on picture frames, framed artwork from your travels, and unique furniture finds that tell a story are key to making your space feel like you. The best part? This trend isn’t about chasing fleeting fads—it’s about creating a home that evolves with you, making room for new memories and treasured keepsakes.

Trends Come and Go, But Home Is Forever
While these seven trends are shaping the interiors of 2025, the essence of great design is creating a space that makes you happy. Trends may change, but the memories you create in your home and the way it makes you feel will always be what truly matters. Whether you're embracing Vintage Romance, color drenching your walls, or curating a kitchen garden, the best interiors are those that reflect the people who live in them.
Here’s to a beautiful, deeply personal home in 2025!
