10 interior design trends set to take over 2025

Out with the old and in with the new – a probable mindset for many homeowners as they look to spruce up their space in the new year. Fortunately, 2025 calls for a refresh of home décor designs, and ones which have lasting finesse and functionality despite the fleeting nature of trends.  

Think maximalism, nature and cosy nooks for this year’s core aesthetic – most of which are made from sustainable materials to contribute to the eco-friendly lifestyle we are encouraged to follow as and when we can.  

But ultimately, the decorating fundamental of 2025 is to let your personality shine through, and our series of interior design predictions below are sure to let that happen. So, what can you expect from the interior design scene this year? 

 

 

1. Maximalism  

Despite minimalism ruling interior design in recent years, the “less is more” approach has taken a backseat as the use of bold colours, patterns and unusual shapes start to replace stark scenery. Though there is more to executing this playful style than rash explosions of colour, there is careful consideration behind each layer of interior to bring life to every corner of the room. If you want to make more daring decisions with your decor, here are some maximalist features to embrace: 

• Bright colours 

• Decorative wallpaper 

• Layered fabrics  

• Ornate accents, like pendant lights  

• Unusual shapes  

• Contrasting patterns and textures 

• Statement pieces, like graphic artwork

We have an extensive range of patterned vinyl flooring in our Amtico One showroom, all of which capture the maximalist style. For those looking to branch out from plain tiling and try a more exciting design, we have geometric, ceramic, vintage and floral patterns in abundance. As such, we can work together to create a customised flooring plan that not only looks the part, but can withstand wear and tear and is easy to care for. 

 

2. Cosy nooks and reading corners 

A comfortable and cosy corner offers an escape from the general running of the house – a retreat if you will, where short and long stays are equally accepted. Similarly, secluded nooks unlock a new level of privacy that standard rooms struggle to replicate, and are often enhanced by deep, moody hues and snuggly seating for prime relaxation. If you are treating this area as a place to read your favourite books and unwind, funky wall lamps and twinkly fairy lights are a practical yet pleasing way to bring light to the subject. 

Soft under footing also welcomes a new level of luxury to these hidden pockets, and we happen to supply hundreds of traditional and contemporary carpets from brands in the premium market. The manufacturers we collaborate with ensure functionality, sustainability and style in every square inch, reinforcing our promise to you that we have all the flooring options to achieve your dream home.  

 

 

3. Jewel tones  

Rich jewel tones, such as sapphire blue, citrine yellow and ruby red, are indicative of vintage decor in modern day landscapes – whether it’s chartered through gem-inspired wallpaper, soft furnishings or accessories. Ranging from mid to deep saturated tones, this colour palette has a knack for adding drama and decadence to any space, without going overboard.   

 

4. Built-in storage  

Built-in storage is the secret to saving space without sacrificing features in your home that would otherwise contribute to clutter. Storage systems, such as built-in wardrobes or kitchen cabinets, can be tailor made by professionals or hand-crafted by yourself if you’re a confident DIYer. It’s one interior hack stylists recommend and homeowners love, to aid the organisation of room contents.  

 

5. Colour-drenched rooms 

Colour drenching involves saturating a room with one colour – on the floors, walls, ceilings, furniture and accessories – to create a cohesive and impactful space. Dominating a room with a singular colour can seem somewhat one dimensional on first thought, but colour drenching has the opposite effect when executed properly. Using a variety of shades from the same hue, this interior style can author a profound landscape when colour collaboration and positioning is handled with meticulous care. 

Luxury rugs are one way to layer and add texture to colour-drenched rooms, and it’s much more affordable than installing a completely new carpet or hard floor. At Langan Carpets, we have a broad selection of tufted, wool, flatweave and other rug constructions, all of which are suitable for adding pops of colour, softening LVT or contrasting with carpet. 

6. Decorative ceilings 

There is often so much happening on ground level that you forget to look up, and yet the ceiling remains one of the largest canvas’ open to interpretation. 2025 is raising the profile and impact of ceiling decoration, helping publicise this feature as an unorthodox way to introduce colour, pattern and texture to a room.  

Wallpapering and painting the ceiling is a budget-friendly trend more decorators are jumping on, having witnessed the flair it brings to space that is often neglected. This stylistic choice is an alternative to ceiling tiles or plaster, giving your home the same lift without committing to expensive and complex ceiling plans. 

 

7. Earth tones 

Soft jade, terracotta and similar baked tones have firmly planted their roots in the 2025 interior colour palette, as we recognise agrowing theme of nature and the wilderness in modern home transformations. 

 

The bathroom and bedroom are bedrocks for relaxation and recharge, and earthy neutrals provide the ultimate ambiance for this to take place. Although they have a rustic aura, earth tones can make a suitable backdrop in traditional, modern, and minimalist spaces, helping you feel grounded in whichever room they’re situated. 

 

8. Extra-large sofas

The burgeoning focus on comfort and wellness in home design has left people longing for extra space to lounge around and vacate to for chill time. Oversized corner sofas and large plush seating provide ample space to spread out, a necessity for multi-purpose living where socialising, working and resting all transpire. These L and U-shaped furnishings are typical centrepieces, especially in open floor plans where space requires filling.  

 

 

 

9. Discreet technology  

Technology and the involvement it has in standard living has inspired homeowners to adapt their design plans to feel more receptive of the digital world. Through wireless charging furniture, built-in speakers and app-controlled lighting, smart home devices can be seamlessly integrated into soft and hard furnishings for a futuristic set up that, most importantly, still possesses homely qualities.  

To effectively manage the amount of heat and light entering a room, we have collaborated with producers of window treatments and solutions, SilentGliss, to change the curtain and blind game. Available in multiple versions are our electric and remote-control curtains and blinds, designed to streamline wall coverings through the click of a button. Alongside this, we have a range of upholstery fabrics to help disguise track systems and add a personalised touch to your interior setting. 

10. Dark woods 

Pale and washed-out woods are facing desertion as rich walnut, oak and mahogany woods take the lead in luxury vinyl flooring and room cladding. These deep reddish planks remain a timeless classic, with strong links to antiques and high-quality, durable materials. For all the moodiness these woods omit, lighter materials and neutral colour schemes help counteract an overplay of browns through shining accents.  

Warm woods are intrinsically used in parquet flooring, often following the herringbone pattern, which our team of fitters have superior experience planning and installing. If you’d prefer chevron, basketweave or a different flooring design, we can emulate this to reflect your interior plans.  

 

 

 

Don’t let trends overhaul personal style 

As people continue to prioritise their space as sanctuaries and wellness hubs, it’s clear there is an overarching theme this year of warmth and comfort, coming in forms of earth tones, snuggly seating and seclusion. It seems, as a community of designers, we are striving to enter a new era where cosiness meets multifunctional living.

Whilst we have the supplies, advice and talent to bring these fashionable designs to your space, Langan are strong believers that your home should remain uniquely yours, regardless of what’s hot and what’s not.
