The New Aesthetics: 7 Interior Design Trends Shaping Homes in 2025

Trend or trick?

Quick disclaimer before we start: this isn’t an invitation to chase every new design trend. This race just isn’t worth it. What is worth your time is choosing furniture that feels right to you – pieces that fit your lifestyle and please your eye, not just the eyes of some design-world celebrities keen on fashion.

Still, pretending trends don’t exist would be shortsighted – especially if you ever plan to rent or sell your place.

Just look at this: two identical apartments in the same high-end neighborhood, same floor, same layout. One has a decent renovation, quality finishes, good plumbing – but the style is all over the place. It suited the former owners just fine, and they are moving abroad now, ready to part with their “cozy little haven.”

Next door, you step into a clean, elegant, and minimalist space. It’s simple – but tastefully so. The owners worked with a designer to balance practicality, comfort, and a modern aesthetic. Now tell me: which apartment’s description sounds more convincing? And which one do you think could actually sell for more?

Even if you are not flipping properties and simply want to create a space that feels like you, keeping an eye on design trends won’t hurt. They’ll clue you in on what’s current – colors, layouts, materials, and functional ideas. Some will make you smirk, others will spark ideas you didn’t know you needed.

Maybe you are the type who loves furniture that multitasks – anything that folds, slides, or transforms. Spoiler: multifunctionality is one of this year’s leading trends (we’ll get to that).

And maybe your interior is an extension of your values. You live sustainably, recycle, and avoid waste – good news, there’s a trend for that as well.

So, ready to play a little game?

We’ll show you an interior that captures one of this year’s design trends. Take a look, try to guess which one it is, and check yourself after. No cheating please!

Let’s play “Guess the Trend.” Here are our Top 7

1. Biophilic design

Put simply: it’s about bringing nature indoors. The concept is combining greenery, natural textures, and a sense of calm that only plants can give.First, it’s just beautiful. But more than that – plants lift your mood, clean the air, and bring warmth even when the radiators haven’t kicked in yet. If you love nature, this one is what a doctor ordered. Add a bit of green, and nature will love you right back.

2. Warm minimalism

A trickier one – because at first glance, nothing stands out. And that’s the point. The beauty is in restraint: just the essentials, subtle decor, everything functional and purposeful.

What makes it “warm”?

Gone are the icy Scandinavian palettes of gray and blue. In come cozy, inviting tones and soft textures you want to wrap yourself in – like a wool blanket (minus the itch).

It’s about balance: minimalist, but never sterile. Simple, yet soulful.

3. Lighting takes center stage (and so does architecture)

What caught your eye first – the gentle glow from the wall or the black light fixture that pops against beige?

This trend is all about treating light as art. Bold fixtures are back, e.g., sculptural chandeliers and lamps that double as art pieces. Pair them with textured plaster walls or a ceiling that looks charmingly vintage.

If you love light and a touch of gallery vibes, this one is for you.

4. Multifunctionality and flexibility

Let’s get to the heart of the matter – the image contains several clear examples of this trend.

See that fold-out table that disappears into the shelving unit? This is multifunctionality in action. Do you need more space? One quick move and voilà – the table is gone.

The entire room works 24/7: a home office by day, a living room by night, maybe even a dining corner in between. Smart layout, no tricks – just design that bends to your life.

5. Sustainability and eco-friendliness

Here comes a trend with a conscience. It’s about creating a home that is good both for you and the planet.

Natural materials like wood are obvious players, but that’s just the start. Low-energy windows, LED lighting, recycled stuff, furniture made from reclaimed wood, finishes free of toxic varnishes – eco-design today is both beautiful and responsible.

If you live with intention, this one will feel like home.

6. Vintage

Do you remember the feeling of opening your grandmother’s trunk and catching a faint, story-filled scent? That’s pure vintage.

It’s all about pieces with character – items that have lived a little and seen some things. A chipped paint edge, a scuff on the wood – these aren’t flaws; they’re part of the charm.

And you know what? Vintage pairs wonderfully with modern decor. A mid-century chair next to a sleek lamp? Yes, yes, and yes.

7. Earthy, saturated hues and layered textures

We saved the trickiest one for last. But we bet you’ll succeed!

These interiors beg to be touched – rich, nature-inspired colors, tactile materials like raw wood, soft fabrics, cool stone, and smooth leather. The kind of space that feels as good as it looks.

A stylish interior in five minutes? Here are some tips

Stop panicking about a five-figure renovation budget. Every trend here can be introduced gently, without a full-scale remodel.

Here’s your cheat sheet:

• Biophilic design: Add large plants like a fiddle-leaf fig, hang light linen curtains, or place a mirror opposite a window to double the light. Nature prints and photos will be the cherries on the cake.

• Warm minimalism: Pare back the decor, roll out a soft area rug, and go for warm lighting (candles count).

• Statement lighting and architecture: Try LED strip lights to highlight a shelf or niche, or add a vintage-style floor lamp with a fabric shade.

• Multifunctionality: You can add this trend to your space – quickly and without spending a fortune – with smart pieces like storage ottomans, a windowsill turned into a workspace or reading nook, and a foldable table. 

• Eco-style: Bring in linen, cotton, or wool textiles, and switch to beeswax or soy candles.

• Vintage: Hunt thrift stores or grandma’s attic for ceramics, old clocks, or patterned rugs. If your treasure hunt comes up empty but you still want to bring a touch of nostalgia into your space, framed black-and-white photos will work their magic. Stylish, simple, and just the right hint of retro.

• Earthy textures: Guessing the trend might be tricky – but bringing it to life is surprisingly easy. How about a few expressive touches: velvet throw pillows, a textured rug (a long pile can look stunning if you don’t mind the upkeep), or some handcrafted ceramic tableware? And if your creative side wakes up now and then, experiment with what you already own. Why not take a chance and repaint a piece of furniture in a deep green? Start with a dresser – you might just find yourself hooked.

Make trends work for you. We’ll be happy to help

Yes, trends come and go, and chasing them can drain your wallet faster than you can say “redecoration.”

Here is the golden rule you shouldn’t ignore: always choose yourself and your comfort first. Adapt trends to your rhythm, not the other way around. That’s how style becomes sustainable – emotionally and financially.

The same principle drives our online interior-design app Vizhu Dom. Our designers treat trends as tools, not templates – choosing only what fits your life and makes your home more like you.
