2025 Interior Design Trends You’ll Actually Want in Your Home

If you’ve been scrolling endlessly, overwhelmed by the same tired design ideas, here’s a breath of fresh air: the 2025 trends are all about warmth, texture, personality, and yes, some serious nostalgia. Think classic Americana with a modern twist, layered metals, and walls that speak volumes. Ready to refresh your home with trends you’ll love living with? Let’s dive in.


1. Millwork

Millwork is back with a bold, ornate flair—hello, dental crown moulding! This isn’t your grandma’s trim; think more Ralph Lauren meets Nancy Meyers movie sets. The vibe is sophisticated yet cozy, with details that elevate every room to feel curated and lived-in. From window casings to built-ins, this kind of moulding brings a layer of timeless elegance that’s pure Americana.


2. Textured Wall Coverings

Say goodbye to boring flat walls. Textured wall coverings are taking over in a big way, adding dimension and tactile interest to your space. From grasscloth to embossed patterns, these finishes turn your walls into works of art that invite touch and awe.


3. Color Drenching

White ceilings are officially passé. This year, it’s all about painting ceilings anything but white, or matching your ceiling color exactly to your walls for a seamless, enveloping look. It’s bold, it’s cozy, and it creates a whole new sense of depth in your rooms.


4. Layering Metals

Mixing metals isn’t new, but 2025 takes it to a new level. Polished nickel and unlacquered brass are pairing beautifully—just keep it on the same visual plane. For example, kitchen plumbing fixtures in polished nickel, with lighting in warm brass. More bronze finishes are also making waves, adding an earthy richness to interiors.


5. Blues, Blues, Blues

From deep navy to soft sky, blues are everywhere. They’re moody, calming, and versatile—perfect for injecting personality without overwhelming your space.


6. Pattern on Pattern on Pattern

If you thought mixing prints was tricky before, 2025 says do it threefold. Think window treatments, pillows, and wallpaper all boldly playing together. The key? Mixing scales and textures to create a vibrant, layered look that feels collected over time—not chaotic.


2025’s interior design trends embrace warmth, personality, and that lived-in charm we all crave. Whether you’re adding ornate millwork, experimenting with textured walls, or layering patterns and metals, the goal is a home that feels uniquely yours.

On a rainy Tuesday afternoon, I lit a candle on my kitchen counter, not for the scent, but for the comfort. The sky was gray, dishes were drying in the rack, and I still had emails to answer. But in that moment, something shifted. The soft glow, the warm scent of bergamot and cedar, made […]

Most people think updating their home means tearing it apart. New floors, new furniture, massive bills. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to start from scratch to fall in love with your space again. Sometimes, the smallest swaps, a new sconce here, a better rug there, can create the biggest impact. Simple Swaps Hardware […]

A few years ago, I walked into a new client’s home, a two-story colonial in a great neighborhood, with great bones… and a kitchen straight out of 2004. Think cherry cabinets, speckled granite, orange stained floors, and brushed nickel hardware trying its best to hold the decade together. “I know it’s dated,” she said with […]
