Summer 2025 in colors and styles: the main trends in interior design

Saturated colorful accents, textures of natural materials and new stylistic solutions – that’s what makes the interiors of this summer stylish and atmospheric. UNN spoke with architect and interior designer Lolita Sokolovska to learn more about popular styles and trends in home decoration that define the summer of 2025.

Actual colors and shades

According to the expert, this summer’s favorites are saturated color accents:

• wine-red: a deep, saturated shade;

• yellow shade of precious stone: bright, but restrained color;

• earthy shades;
• terracotta, olive, sand, ocher, etc.;

However, if you prefer more restrained colors, it is not necessary to paint the walls white. As an alternative, you can choose light, restrained colors for the design of your own interior and still stay in trend. Thus, the following will become relevant alternatives to saturated colors in the interior in the summer of 2025:

• complex shades of gray and beige.

Textures and materials 2025

Texture and naturalness are becoming key elements in the interior. In particular, wood, especially oak and walnut, is used to create warm and cozy interiors. Stone and clay: unprocessed surfaces add authenticity and naturalness

She also adds that among the relevant materials in the summer of 2025 will be soft-to-the-touch fabrics that add luxury and comfort and “visually complicate the interior.” For example, velour and velvet.

“Relief and fabric surfaces: add depth and detail,” – adds the expert and suggests also paying attention to textured wallpapers.

At the same time, natural materials such as linen and cotton create lightness and airiness and also remain in trend.
