With their feet firmly through the door of 2025, the interiors team have taken a moment to reflect on the trends that have been circulating so far and what we can expect to see as the year progresses.
It’s apparent that 2025 is the year of refined interior design, where a sophisticated and calm outlook is taken when approaching and executing new spaces.
With that, let’s dive into the trends that we’ve spotted, loved and look forward to for AW25.
Seriously Shaggy
Following a growing desire to create cozy and warming spaces, long pile fabrics have taken off in interior design. Using a shaggy carpet is a fool-proof way soften a room and reduce the exposure of hard surfaces, helping to create a comfortable setting to unwind in.
Renowned carpet manufacturer, Britons, has noticed a surge in searches for high pile carpets and King Living has developed a new fabric, Yowie, to take this trend one step further.

Earthy Tones
Introducing a sophisticated and refined colour palette to the home, earthy tones work to minimise stress and reduce over stimulation.
Brown, green and beige hues have been used by designers including Studio Castille to create timeless rooms that stand the test of time and transcend everchanging trends. Wooden touches also introduce natural textures into the room, helping to create depth and variety in the surroundings.

Trad Kitchens
As consumer preferences shift towards the past, the desire for traditional homewares has progressed and we’ve seen an increase in classical kitchen design.
This look can be achieved with the integration of wood and muted tiling for an understated and refined look. With the recent launch of deVol’s new kitchen wallpaper, Ditsy Delft, we expect this classic kitchen design trend to dominate.

Smooth like butter
Butter yellow is the colour of the moment and with an ever-growing shift towards heritage hues, this gentle and warm colour can be reminiscent of youth while feeling uplifting and refreshing.
Timothy Corrigan, Heidi Callier and Robin Standefer have all naming it colour of 2025 in Vogue’s annual interior design trend report, and we look forward to seeing integrated throughout the home via colour-drenching or small pops of colour.

Low-slung furniture
The low-slung furniture trend prioritises laid back living. Offering a grounded and calming aesthetic, low profiles promote relaxation and wellness.
With lower back rests, the room feels more open and spacious. This is perfect for small spaces or those with low ceilings as they maximise flow and relaxation.
We look to King Living and Linge Roset who have masted this trend by combining low-back elegance with versatile design to encourages leisure and rest.

Maximising multifunctionality
When space is limited, there’s no reason to put the brakes on design and multifunctional furniture is a fantastic way to maximise the space available while creating flow and connection.
Sofa beds instantly extend the use of a room and create a focal point that is practical and elegant. Interior designers, Lucy Kemp and Gemma Budworth Interiors endorse the use of sofa beds to add dual function to a room.
Equally, fold away desks can attach to the wall and turn any room into a temporary office space for flexible living and working.
