The Interior Design Trends to Know in 2025

The idea of interior design trends can seem a little nonsensical: the whole point of a home is to offer a sense of permanence, while the fleeting nature of trends suggests the opposite. Then, there’s the logistics of it all: while it’s easy enough to swap out a pair of jeans or shoes inspired by what goes down the runway, changing what is in your home takes a considerable investment of time, energy, and money. Who in their right mind seasonally changes their couch?

Yet styles do change—albeit slowly. Chintz was all the rage in the 1960s, until it wasn’t. 1990s minimalism eventually gave way to a maximalist resurgence. And now that we are a quarter of the way through a century, what choices can one make to ensure their home will stand the test of time?

With that in mind, Vogue asked 11 top interior designers about which way the interior pendulum is swinging. They had thoughts, and lots of them: Art Deco is seeing a resurgence, as is the 17th-century art of the flame stitch. And as burgundy pops up in high-end fashion collections from the likes of Gucci and Khaite, so too is it set to take over our homes.

As for what’s on its way out? The answer was nearly unanimous: all-white interiors, which have been popular over the last few years, are becoming a thing of the past. “People want their homes to feel alive and personal, with pieces that have history, character, and personality,” says AD100 interior designer Brigette Romanek.

Below, the interior design trends you can expect to see in 2025.

WHATS IN

Drapery is stepping into the spotlight as more than just a functional item—it’s becoming an art form. I love the idea of pleated, patterned, or oversized fabric installations that feel like sculptures: framing a space. They bring this beautiful movement and texture, softening hard edges while creating a moment that feels dramatic. –Brigette Romanek

More is more with over-the-top draperies, balloon shades, mixing prints, and interesting color combinations. –Heidi Caillier

Art Deco in unexpected ways. We’ve seen it make a comeback through lacquer and furniture silhouettes, but I think more designers will begin paying attention to the layouts from the design era, alongside Deco patterns and motifs. –Jeremiah Brent

The revival of “brown furniture” marks an exciting shift in interior design. As English and American antiques reemerge from a period of being unfashionable, they’re finding new life among those seeking to add authenticity and historical depth to contemporary spaces. –Alfredo Paredes

A living room by Lover's Unite uses a jewel tone yellow—which is expected to be a popular shade for 2025.

Verdigris is definitely having a moment—I love how it feels neutral yet colorful all at once. From lighting to accessories, many will begin reaching for it as a subtle statement within their home. –Jeremiah Brent

Velvets (in all forms: cotton, linen, and cut velvet with patterns) have become the go-to texture replacing the soft boucle of previous years. People want soft-to-touch textures over rough linens. –Timothy Corrigan

Contemporary versions of the 17th-century flame stitch pattern are red hot and finding their way into rugs, wallpapers, and fabrics. They bridge the gap between classic and hip and appeal to people of all ages. –Timothy Corrigan

OUT

I think we’re moving past the trend of sterile interiors. People want their homes to feel alive and personal, with pieces that have history, character, and personality. Items that really reflect your feel and vibe. As designers, it’s our job to understand what’s really important to our clients. Not just us. And make that stunning. That’s the fun. –Brigette Romanek

All-white rooms are losing their appeal, as they often feel sterile rather than personal. Overly minimalistic spaces, while once celebrated, now risk feeling cold and lifeless, lacking the layers that make a home truly engaging. And the days of perfectly matched, overly coordinated rooms are behind us—design is now about creating spaces that tell a story, embracing contrast and individuality. –Julie Hillman

The black and brass style kitchen made famous by the Kardashians in 2018 is dated. A kitchen should feel warm and welcoming, not like a 1980s nightclub. –Timothy Corrigan

As a lover of minimalism and pure, edited design, being bombarded with imagery of three curated objects in a room feels a bit 2024. I’m challenging myself to layer up! I’ve added a carpet over my sofa back, proudly displayed my mother-in-law's silver collection (and used her dishes, too). I’m visiting flea markets, exploring less obvious vintage stores, packing light, and filling my suitcase with treasures from my travels. I’m curating moments of interest and surrounding myself with inspiration this year. –Christine Gachot

Fluted tile will be to 2025 what tambour was to 2024—you see it everywhere and wish it would stop. –Karen Spector

While we’re getting closer to the futuristic technology of the Jetsons, the decor should be avoided. Sputnik light fixtures had their time in the sun and now it’s time they fade into the past, along with mid-century furniture. –Timothy Corrigan
