At Excel Marketing, we’re always excited to share the design innovations and styles shaping our homes and businesses. As we step into 2025, interiors are telling stories that celebrate both individuality and a deep connection to the natural world. Here’s our curated look at the top trends transforming spaces this year:
1. Earthy Foundations
This year, natural color palettes are making waves. Grounded shades—think terracotta, olive, and muted grays—set a serene backdrop. Paired with the raw beauty of wood, stone, and textured textiles, these earthy tones infuse calm into every room. Hard surfaces like wood flooring and stone accents continue to enjoy their moment, blurring the line between indoors and out.
2. Biophilic Bliss
Designers are doubling down on our inherent need for nature, with indoor greenery, living walls, and expansive windows maximizing daylight and greenery. Spaces that foster wellness and harmony with the outdoors are more desirable than ever. Prioritizing ventilation and light, homes now breathe as freely as their inhabitants.
3. More Is More: Maximalism
2025 is all about bold self-expression. Vibrant color splashes, clashing patterns, and eclectic accessories encourage playful storytelling and personal flair. Layers of texture, mixed materials, and a fearless approach to color make every corner a reflection of you.
4. The Allure of Handcrafted
Gone are the days of cookie-cutter interiors. One-of-a-kind furniture, hand-carved woodwork, bespoke ceramics, and tactile woven textiles command attention, speaking volumes about their makers and owners. Craftsmanship is not just noticed, but celebrated.
5. Color & Pattern Play
Neutrals still hold their reign, but jewel tones and rich pigments—deep blues, lush greens, and fiery terracotta—are taking center stage. Pattern mixing is at an all-time high: florals with geometrics, stripes with botanicals, and everything in between.
6. Embracing the Curve
Curved sofas, round tables, and soft-edge armchairs are the antidote to boxy rooms. Their organic silhouettes bring comfort and welcoming energy to living and dining spaces alike.
7. Eco-Conscious Materials
Sustainability isn’t just trending—it’s essential. Reclaimed wood, bamboo, recycled metals, and eco-friendly textiles are prized for their natural beauty and lighter environmental footprint.
8. The Fifth Wall: Ceilings as Art
Designers are treating ceilings as bold canvases—think dramatic paint, patterned wallpapers, exposed beams, or unique textures. These “statement ceilings” add dimension and a bespoke look to any space.
9. Color Drenching
Why stop at one pop of color? The color drenching trend wraps entire rooms—walls, trim, even furniture—in varying shades of a single hue, creating enveloping, gallery-like spaces that feel cohesively luxurious.
10. Art Deco Elegance Returns
The glitz, glam, and geometry of the Art Deco period are making a welcome comeback. Look for jewel-toned velvets, brass accents, and iconic zigzags and scallops lending today’s homes vintage-inspired glamour.
