Five Interior Design Styles and Trends We Expect To See More of in 2025

Thinking about trends in home design may seem counterintuitive. After all, a home is meant to offer an enduring sense of place rather than exhibit a fleeting style. But as we continue to reimagine our domestic spaces and how they can better serve us, staying on top of what’s in (and what’s not) can help guide design decisions and work out what we truly want to see in our spaces – now and in the future.

More than ever before, people are shifting away from cookie-cutter interiors and curating homes that are highly personal and individual. That means prioritising well-made pieces, premium furniture and custom designs like the ones from global furniture label Enza Home, which features Italian designs and European craftsmanship in its collection of award-winning sofas and armchairs, modular furniture, and other pieces designed for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and beyond. There’s a Melbourne showroom you can visit to see everything in person, and all items are in stock, so you can get fast delivery Australia-wide, too.

Looking to redecorate, manifesting your dream house or just want to take a peek at what’s in vogue? Here’s what we’ve got on our interior design mood board (and what we’re predicting will soon be in homes all over the place).

Warm neutrals

Yes, bold colour is hot, but the enduring appeal of pared-back tones like oatmeal, sand, buttery ivory and taupe adds depth and warmth to a space. It’s a shift away from the idea that beige and brown are bland – just look towards Pantone’s 2025 Colour of the Year: Mocha Mousse. Our top picks to bring the shades into your home? This award-winning bouclé sofa in taupe or its matching swivel armchair. Or for a mix of fabrics and textures, there are both velvet and linen finishes in this neutral three-seater. These colours bring back a connection to the natural world, echoing Australia’s coastal outback tracks.

Natural materials

Metals, stones, timbers, linens – materials that show off the beauty of nature continue to reign supreme. Not only do they feel timeless and long-lasting, they also offer a grounding sensory experience within a home. Choose a piece that combines two or more of these materials, like this dining table, with rich veined marble that stands out against black oak veneer and metal legs, or a side table that balances a statement black marble top over a minimalist base. Plus, seeing the imperfections of natural materials adds unexpected character and texture.

The return of art deco

The glitz and glam of the 1920s and ’30s has made a strong comeback. Think furniture silhouettes that embrace sweeping curved lines, rounded corners and pill shapes along with opulent colours and prints. This round coffee table in a deep teal fits the brief, as does this one, complete with a geometric printed base. The angular curves of this three-seater sofa are also a great way to subtly lean into the nostalgic style. Or for something that’s more of a statement, a dining table with marble and brass legs adds visual interest and personality.

Layered textures and prints

Getting it right with textures can be a tricky balancing act. These days, lushly textured surfaces add interest and character to a space, be it through walls and furniture or art and other objects. Consider juxtaposing bold prints and clashing elements for a sense of restrained chaos. A statement leather armchair can be paired with this award-winning woven fabric swivel armchair for an unexpected combination, where each chair riffs off each other’s tones and shapes. Or you can get a long modular sofa and play around with configurations, then go for different fabrics for the throw pillows. Looking to add more textures in the bedroom? Consider this award-winning headboard and bed base with anthracite faux leather and gold-detailed metal legs, which you can style with different fabrics in your bedsheets for more visual depth.

Mixing metals

Design trends often follow fashion trends. Mixing metals like stainless steel with bold brass and cool chrome is having a moment in home design as well as on the catwalk. Bringing these tones together adds contrast. You can incorporate mixed-metal designs in big and small ways in your home, whether through lighting, joinery, knobs, handles or statement furniture.

A wardrobe that combines brushed brass and a mirror panel together with timber detailing can break up the contrast. Pair it with the matching vanity table. Or try the minimalist Manila armchair, with its bold black metal frame and armrests, in your living room (it pairs neatly with this comfortable linen sofa, made with hybrid sponge technology for structured back support).
