This year, perhaps you’re embarking on an entire property renovation journey, or maybe you simply plan on transforming a single space in your home; no matter your project, we’ve curated the most captivating design styles to inspire every room in our 2025 Interior Design Report.
From muted mocha mousse to statement-making cherry red, discover a harmony of opposites to define your decor over the next twelve months. Whether you embrace the opulent aesthetic of the Rococo era or choose to channel the warm minimalism look, this year’s interior report is a balanced affair - where the only ‘trend’ is to create interiors you truly adore.
Moody moments
The dark side of the colour spectrum isn’t revolutionary for interior designers; however, a thoughtful application of these moodier tones is key to achieving an elegant look. Opt for immersive midnight blues or deep forest greens to present a luxurious allure and pair with sophisticated woods and glowing metals to add contrast and definition.
Like all colour stories, lighting alters the ambience of a room, and therefore, the placement of these moody tones to all light sources will affect the overall look and feel of your space.

Cherry everywhere
Following a season of decadent burgundy and merlot, 2025 is still revelling in all things red; nevertheless, this year, designers favour a different tone. Cherry red is the colour in focus, and while this statement shade is an excellent way to introduce an accent colour to neutral palettes, it’s also an inspired choice for those coveting a colourful kitchen or pantry.

Maximalism
A lavish, more-is-more look will form the interior of many modern kitchens throughout 2025. The choice of materials and individual pieces will bring grandeur to the heart of the home, with deeply veined marble and quartz dressing counters, islands and backsplashes, and lighting that celebrates antique appeal.
The maximalism look emphasises the elaborate and will suit any space imagined for entertaining guests, such as dining rooms, home bars and wine rooms.

Mocha mood
As the authority of colour language across the globe, Pantone announced Mocha Mousse as their 2025 Colour of the Year, noting that this year’s choice ‘extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.’
A warm brown hue reminiscent of artisanal coffees and indulgent desserts, mocha evokes a sense of enveloping serenity, making it a natural colour to explore in bathrooms, bedrooms and dressing rooms.

Rococo renaissance
Opulent and ornate, the Rococo era is enjoying a renaissance. Echoing the authentic set of films like Sofia Coppola’s iconic Marie Antoinette, interiors are intricately detailed with a confection of pastels and gilded golds decorating dressing rooms and bedrooms. Seek out shell-like motifs, curved candelabras and chandeliers to capture the Rococo character in your styling.
"This bedroom exudes a classic and timeless elegance, with its soft blue cabinetry, intricate millwork, and refined gold accents. The warm textures, from the cozy seating nook to the layered beddinh, create a welcoming atmosphere that balances sophistication and comfort", says Maria DeCotiis, Owner and Principal Designer.

Warm minimalism
A phrase that once lent itself to a monochromatic and streamlined design direction, minimalism has evolved over the years into a term more suited to the simplicity of an interior. 2025 is a time to capture the wonder of warm minimalism - an aesthetic that maintains the simplicity we’ve come to expect of minimal interiors but in a natural, earthy palette to create an innate sense of welcoming, a space that illustrates the meaning of home.
Perfect for kitchens and living areas alike, this look features timeless materials like tonal oak and brass, with organic styling that emphasises the form and beauty of individual objects.

Artisanally made
Investing in craft continues to be a significant focus for designers and homeowners. An appreciation of traditional artistry to produce enduring pieces that elevate interiors is an important focus. From bespoke joinery and handmade furniture to one-off ceramics and limited edition soft furnishings, quality and skill go hand in hand here to give homes artisanal visual interest.
Mixed metals
Experimenting with mixed metals is an appealing option to effortlessly elevate functional pieces into artful details in spaces with various fixtures and fittings. Mix finishes like satin nickel and aged brass for your kitchen cabinet hardware, bathroom taps and beyond for a luxurious and design-led dual-tone look.
“A mix of metals creates a sense of bold elegance and adds a curated touch that feels both inviting and refined,” says Noah Hoffman from Thorpe Concepts.
