Ah, January. A month for mood boarding and new beginnings. Whether you’ve been curating your 2025 Pinterest board for months, or you’ve just been seeing the influx of trend predictions on your social feeds and in your inbox (present company included), the internet is collectively peering into the crystal ball of trends to come. And we’re here for it.

So here for it, in fact, that we’ve put together a list of trends plucked straight from our own 2025 mood boards. Let’s get started.

Bigger, Bolder, Brighter

For 2025, maximalism is here to stay. We’re talking colour, pattern and texture — and lots of it. Unexpected combinations reign supreme in this optimistic trend, achieved through a healthy amount of layering. When it comes to styling maximalism in the bedroom, think mismatched sheets, printed pillowcases and complementary cushions. Throw in a statement side table, rug or bed head and you’re well on your way to the eclectic bedroom of your dreams. In fact, according to Pinterest Predicts, searches for phrases like eclectic maximalism and eclectic apartment are up by more than 200% – 600% respectively. We love this trend not only for its bright and joyful feel, but because it lends itself to more opportunities for self-expression in our homes.

According to Elle Décor, interior designers are prioritising personal expression more than ever. After all, doesn’t it make sense that our homes should reflect our personalities? Whether it’s through one-of-a-kind pieces or unique styling choices, we’re seeing a rise in interiors that fit into our lifestyles and personal taste, rather than chasing a singular aesthetic.

Colour Drenching

According to Alex Hopkins, director of Studio Tate, the colour drenching trend is centred around the idea of “layering spaces in a feature colour”. This could look like matching your bath towels to your bathroom tiles or coordinating your bedding with the colour of your walls, rugs, and so on. Not only is this an effective way to bring a cohesive feel to your space, but it encourages us to play with elements like shape and texture to create focal points and variation.

As for which colours are trending in 2025, we’re seeing a rise in bold and vibrant colours in home décor (a cheeky callback to the maximalist trend we just discussed), as well as a continued love for earth tones. As we head towards the cooler months of autumn and winter, we’re finding ourselves gravitating towards warm, spiced hues like raisin and cardamon, as well as calming fresh water and sea green.

Sleek Styling

Shifting away from the more is more approach of eclecticism, the pendulum is swinging both ways for 2025 — bringing with it a rise in popularity for sleek styling and linear spaces. Think low profile, monochromatic beds, sans European pillows and decorative cushions. This pared back approach allows each individual piece to shine through, encouraging us to shift focus from collecting an excess of pieces for the home, and onto collecting quality pieces that will stand the test of time.

Hosts With the Most

If your social algorithm is anything like mine, you may have noticed an uptick in hosting and cheffing content. 2023 and 2024 saw the rise of the cheflucencer (a combination of ‘chef’ and ‘influencer’, for which we might have to thank the popularity of FX’s comedy-drama The Bear), and 2025 is shaping up to be the year of the host. From themed dinner parties to hosting your own café in your kitchen — bespoke drinks menus and all — we’re seeking ways to turn a casual get-together with friends into an experience that feels a cut above your usual backyard BBQ.

So, what does this mean for our interiors? The rise of the tablescape continues, with Pinterest Predicts seeing a 55% increase in searches for dinner party tablescapes — think unique table linen and creative centerpieces. Outside of mealtime, this increased importance on hosting is also impacting our guest bedrooms. No longer an afterthought, the modern host is setting up guest rooms with their own character and charm. Quality bedding, coordinated towels and bath robes — small touches to bring that five star feeling into your home.

Room for Wellness

From reading nooks and meditation corners to spa-like bathrooms, Elle Décor reports an increased focus on spaces for “physical and mental well-being at home”. By creating areas within the home where we can relax and unwind, we’re transforming our homes into sanctuaries away from the stresses and pressures of modern life. Whether it’s the use of soothing colour palettes, soft furnishings or emphasis on gentle, natural lighting, there are seemingly endless ways to bring calm into our interiors.

Although the bedroom may spring to mind first, we’re also looking to the bathroom as a space for wellness within our homes. Perhaps the space where we focus most on self-care and time alone, investing in quality comforts and calming aesthetics for our bathrooms can provide a welcome respite from the daily grind.

Easy Breezy

Closely related to our previous point, we’re also seeing an increased desire for ease and comfort within the home (it may sound obvious but hear me out). We’re shifting away from ultra curated spaces and towards approachable, accessible design that fits into daily life. And yes, it can still look amazing. It’s a balance of aesthetics and ease — ensuring that furniture and décor not only looks the part but enhances our comfort and enjoyment. Shapes are softer, styling is looser and more laidback. Maybe it’s an extra cushion or throw on the lounge, or bedding that’s tousled rather than ironed and seamlessly tucked. We’re being less precious about getting things “right” and instead asking ourselves what makes us feel our best.
