Earthy Tones: A Warm Embrace of Nature
In 2025, earthy tones are continuing to take center stage, bringing warmth, grounding, and a connection to the natural world. These colors—think rich terracotta, warm caramel, muted olive green, deep ochres, and sandy beiges—create the serenity and stability we often crave in our homes.
But what’s especially exciting this year is how these tones have evolved. They’re deeper, richer, and more versatile than ever before, making them perfect for creating spaces that feel both luxurious and inviting.
Why Earthy Tones Are Trending
Earthy tones have become design staples because they’re inherently comforting and timeless. In a world that often feels a little (okay, sometimes more than a little) chaotic, these natural hues provide a sense of balance and calm.
They also align beautifully with the increasing focus on well-being and sustainability in design, creating homes that feel more like sanctuaries.
And earthy tones aren’t just for walls, my friend. You can now find them on upholstered furniture, textured accessories, and even as painted wood pieces. It’s exciting to see how these colors are being integrated into every layer of interior design. What I love is that it means endless possibilities to personalize your space.

How to Incorporate Earthy Tones into Your Space
- A deep terracotta or clay-colored wall can instantly make a room feel cozier and more intimate. Use these hues in living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms for a warm and grounding effect.
- For a subtler approach, try an accent wall in a rich olive green or ochre and pair it with neutral furniture to let the tone shine.
- You can find stunning upholstered furniture pieces like sofas, armchairs, and ottomans in these beautiful tones. Imagine a plush velvet sofa (if you’re brave and want to splurge) in a rich caramel hue or a linen armchair in soft olive green—it’s luxurious yet approachable.
- Look for colored wood furniture stained in warm, earthy shades. A dresser or a sideboard in a deep, reddish-brown wood can add warmth and sophistication to your room in a heartbeat.
- Terracotta vases, caramel-colored ceramics, and emerald green lampshades are perfect for adding subtle touches of earthy warmth. Cluster them together on shelves or mantels for an effortless, curated look.
Why You’ll Love This Trend
Earthy tones are the ultimate design chameleons—they bring so much to the table no matter your style or space. You’re going to fall head over heels for this trend, if you haven’t already!
There’s something inherently soothing about warm terracottas, muted greens, and sandy beiges. These hues create an atmosphere that feels grounded and serene, and because they’re inspired by nature, they never go out of style. They are also surprisingly versatile in any space.

Curvilinear Furniture: Embracing Softness and Sculptural Elegance
Curvilinear furniture is a trend that’s been making waves for the past few years, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down in 2025. What started as a subtle nod to softer, more organic shapes has now become a full-fledged movement in interior design.
This year, the focus on curves is stronger than ever, with designers pushing the boundaries of creativity and craftsmanship to bring a perfect mix of beauty and comfort right into our homes.

There’s a reason curvilinear furniture has such lasting appeal—it just makes spaces feel so approachable, cozy, and effortlessly stylish. Those rounded edges and flowing shapes have a way of creating calm and harmony, almost like bringing a bit of nature indoors. And let’s be honest, these pieces aren’t just furniture—they’re statement-making art that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
With comfort and well-being at the forefront of how we design our homes these days, it’s no surprise that curves are still having a major moment. What started as a subtle shift toward softer shapes has grown into a full embrace of bold curves, scalloped edges, and even irregular forms. This year, designers are really pushing the envelope, creating furniture that feels equal parts inviting and artistic. It’s furniture that doesn’t just fill a room—it transforms it.

Maximalism: Embracing Boldness, Layers, and Personality
Maximalism has been a growing trend for years, but 2025 takes it to a whole new level with some fresh twists on some beloved design elements. For example, reeded wood paneling has been a staple in interiors for a few years, but it’s being slowly overtaken by scalloped design and other textures that brings a playful and modern update to this classic feature. Don’t worry, reeding in everything is still very much in style.
Pair that with the concept of pattern drenching—mixing multiple patterns in a single space for a bold, cohesive look—and the nod to the western cowboy aesthetic with details like fringes, tassels, and earthy tones, and you have a trend that’s as dynamic as it is personal.
Why Maximalism is Trending
Maximalism appeals to those who want their home to be a reflection of their individuality. It’s about curating a space that tells a story, with every corner showcasing a unique combination of patterns, colors, and textures. In a world where minimalism often leans toward neutral and understated, maximalism is unapologetically bold and joyful.
This year’s iteration of maximalism draws from historical influences, blending traditional elements like wood paneling with modern design ideas like pattern-on-pattern layering. The trend also incorporates fun, whimsical details inspired by western cowboy themes—think fringes, earthy leather tones, and rustic, vintage-inspired decor.

How to Embrace Maximalism in Your Home
- Pattern drenching doesn’t mean repeating the same pattern everywhere; you can do that too but it can also be about mixing multiple patterns to create a layered, cohesive look. Combine florals, stripes, and geometric prints in complementary colors for a space that feels intentional and harmonious.
- Reeded and scalloped paneling brings texture and elegance to walls, cabinetry, and furniture fronts. Use it as an accent wall or to update storage pieces for a modern twist on traditional wood paneling. You can also use reeded glass features in cabinetry to bring out this trend. Oh, and use these textures in things like wall tiles too!
- Fringes and tassels add a playful nod to the western aesthetic. Incorporate them in throws, cushions, lampshades, or even furniture details like ottomans with fringe details.
Why You’ll Love This Trend
Maximalism is all about infusing your personality into your home. From mixing patterns to layering textures, this trend lets you create a space that’s one-of-a-kind. The mix of patterns, textures, and details like fringes and tassels adds a sense of whimsy, while the rich colors and luxurious materials keep it feeling polished and elegant.
Every piece in a maximalist home tells a story—whether it’s a vintage find, a bold print, or a unique texture. This trend gives you the freedom to curate a space that reflects your personal journey and style.

Statement Lighting: Functional Art That Elevates Your Space
Ladies and gentlemen, lighting has officially stepped into the spotlight, literally. It’s no longer just about functionality; it’s about making a statement. In 2025, lighting has become a true design centerpiece, capable of completely transforming a room.
Statement lighting is all about blending artistry with utility, creating bold, eye-catching fixtures that take your space to the next level. Whether it’s an oversized chandelier that steals the show, a sculptural pendant that doubles as art, or intricate wall sconces that add just the right touch of drama, this trend is all about letting your lighting shine as the star of the room.
What’s New in Statement Lighting for 2025
Lighting fixtures are stepping up in a big way this year, turning into sculptural works of art that instantly grab your attention. Think organic, fluid shapes and bold geometric designs—arched forms, swirling glass, or even asymmetrical pieces that add energy and movement to a room. These fixtures aren’t just about lighting up a space; they’re about creating a captivating focal point that doubles as art.
Natural materials like rattan, wood, and stone continue to influence design, infusing spaces with warmth and texture. These earthy elements are balanced by timeless metal finishes—brass, matte black, and brushed gold—which add an elegant sophistication and complement a variety of styles.
Playful details are also making waves, with fringe-trimmed lampshades, scalloped edges, and tassels adding a touch of whimsy. These accents tie into the maximalist, boho and western-inspired aesthetics that have been trending over the last few years, giving lighting a charming and unique twist.
Finally, smart lighting technologies are continuing to evolve, bringing convenience and customization to the forefront. Fixtures with app-controlled settings, customizable colors, and dimming options allow homeowners to create the perfect ambiance at the touch of a button, blending practicality with cutting-edge innovation.
