In 2025, home design and decor is leaving space for all things cozy and cool. From calming neutrals to satisfying texture-blends and a mix of minimalist and maximalist trends, there is truly something for every decor-palette in 2025. Top home design trends this year see a focus on earthy neutrals, cozy and comfortable spaces, rich colours and a mix of natural materials. So get out your colour wheel and take note as we guide you through the top trends for home decor and design this year. 

Let’s talk colour

This year, when we talk about home design colour trends, we’re talking about earthy tones and rich palettes, both trends slated to be popular in 2025. Changing your colour scheme or implementing new palettes into your space can drastically change the look and feel of your home, giving new life to spaces that might feel too bland or outdated. 

Earthy tones 

Inspired by natural landscapes, there will be a surge in earthy tones like warm terracotta, deep and olive greens, soft browns, and rust hues. 

In minimalist-styled homes in particular, these rich earthy tones lend themselves to the feeling of being “in nature” and help to achieve a calm and grounding atmosphere. 

Rich palettes 

For the rich palettes trend, deep wines, mahogany hues, royal blues and emerald greens are all great examples of colours that will be working their way into homes this year. From statement walls to colour-drenching of entire rooms and spaces, these colours create a sense of drama and luxury. 

It’s all about texture-blends

Looking at texture trends in 2025, popular design strategies will lean toward natural effects and, on the other end of style preference, maximalist aesthetics. Here are a few examples of texture trends that you will be seeing more of in 2025: 

• Plaster detailing, adding a sense of grandeur and luxury to a space 
• Wallpaper, in particular, natural textiles like linen add to an earthy, organic feel 
• Mixed textures used in layers to achieve a luxe and cozy feel; for example: a velvet couch with chunky-knit throw blankets 

Comfortable furniture with luxe details 

Furniture design and styling in 2025 will include an emphasis on oversized pieces, deep-seats and rounded edges. Rounded details are a top style point for furniture in 2025, creating a feel of comfort coupled with modern styling. 

Plush ottomans and throw pillows, oversized area rugs, and inviting layouts all lend themselves to this trend of elevated comfort. 

Natural materials and cool metals 

Top material picks in 2025 include character-building natural materials like brass, reclaimed wood and copper - all of which add some character and warmth to a space. In bathrooms, for example, a mix of metal accessories (think coloured metal-framed mirrors) against cool materials like porcelain and marble add unexpected warmth and elegance to a smaller space.

Aluminum is another material we’re going to see implemented in 2025, namely in lighting and furniture, many designs of which are being offered in brighter hues and powder finishes. 

Sleek smart-tech 

The incorporation of smart technology in home design and styling is becoming more and more commonplace. Homeowners are looking for ways to upgrade their day-to-day quality of life, home efficiency, and home conveniences. This is where smart tech integration comes into play. In modern times, we are now able to combine form and function with sleek smart-tech designs that blend seamlessly into your home’s decor. 

Read on for some sleek smart-tech devices that will be popular in 2025…

Smart lighting: dimmers, adjustable colours, timers and easy access via phone apps and in-home remotes and control panels 

Smart locks: allows for the personalization of your front door by customizing colour and hardware 

Smart appliances: in your kitchen and laundry room, smart-tech upgrades, such as:

• Fridge appliances that are able to track groceries needed  
• Smart washing machine appliances that can be scheduled for operation during off-peak hours 
• Smart thermostats to regulate home temperatures while saving energy and lowering utility costs 
• Smart home security systems: set up to facilitate security monitoring, alerts, manage cameras and footage, lock and unlock doors, adjust lights, and more - all from the convenience of a phone, phone app or remote device 
• Smart entertainment devices like AR/VR-compatible televisions designed for custom built-in or concealed aesthetics in the home, as well as other media designed for high functionality with minimal bulk and in sleek designs 

Colour-drenched spaces

Colour drenching is the design process of using a single colour or a monochromatic spectrum of colours to saturate a room or area. The drenching technique involves covering walls, ceilings and trim - even incorporating woodwork, furniture, and accessories. 

Colour drenching can help to achieve the look of a larger room or more fluid space, as this effect minimizes or eliminates the appearance of harsh lines and breaks between spaces. It also lends itself to creating a bold, dramatic, and high-impact aesthetic. 

Also, depending on the colours used, this effect can work to create a very calm effect, in the case of light hues and neutral shades. 

When it comes to home design and decor this year, it’s safe to say that the leading trends reveal a pull towards creative style-blending and a spotlight on creating unique and cozy spaces with smart design in mind. There is something for everyone on the horizon of design and decor trends in 2025.
