When it comes to home décor, some features never go out of style – like pops of plant life in the kitchen or a charming, built-in window seat in the bedroom. Other interior design trends, however, have a shorter shelf life and can dramatically date your home.
For instance, while shiplap walls had a bit of a renaissance in recent years thanks to the popularity of HGTV’s “Fixer Upper” and the modern farmhouse style, many home design experts now think the trend is tired and overdone. Just like shag carpeting in the 1970’s, many trends aren’t timeless, and you don’t want to spend time and money on décor that will make your home seem stuck in a time machine.
As we look ahead to 2025 (yes, it’s already that time!), here are several outgoing and incoming interior design trends that every stylish homeowner should know.
Incoming 2025 Interior Design Trends
Fluting and Scallops
Outdoor-Inspired Interiors
As sustainable, green design continues to grow in popularity, designers are moving away from interiors that feel artificial. Instead, it’s becoming more popular to bring outdoor elements—like nature-inspired hues and materials—into interior spaces.
Features like rustic bathroom vanities, jute rugs, rattan chairs, wicker baskets, earthy textures, or natural wood floors are all great choices that will make any space feel in harmony with the outdoors.
Singing the Blues
Thinking ahead to the colors that will be most on-trend in 2025, one really stand out. In a year defined by warm colors and beige neutrals, blue pops out as the unique choice of choice. More than one paint company chose a blue color as it's color of the year. Some to note:
C2's "Thermal" is a light, airy blue that looks like a blue sky in the morning. Valspar's "Renew Blue" is a soft, yet vibrant blue that is relaxing and revitalizing at the same time. Minwax's "Bay Blue" is a turquois-y blue wood stain that lets wood grain shine through but adds undeniable color.
