Natural Colours and Organic Curves Rule 2025

Design trends evolve, but the power of colour and shape remains central to creating captivating spaces. The 2025 Interior Design and Colour Trends Report of Fixr.com delves into the elements shaping homes in the year ahead.

As you know, I am passionate about merging aesthetic appeal with functionality and see these trends as an exciting opportunity to reimagine our living spaces.

Here's a fresh perspective on what’s to come, paired with insights from my own design experience and links to other blogs you can explore further.

What are the most popular interior design trends in 2025?

Nature-Inspired Designs and Colours

Integrating natural elements into interiors is the leading design trend of 2025, with 60% of experts championing this approach. From earthy terracotta to deep greens and tranquil blues, nature-inspired palettes create calming, restorative environments. There is a growing connection between our homes and the natural world.

I’ve seen how bringing the outdoors in - whether through indoor plants, natural wood furniture, or biophilic wallpapers - can transform a space. For example, pairing soft blue walls with green velvet furniture creates a serene vibe, perfect for living rooms or home offices.

The Bold Revival of Colour Drenching

Colour drenching - a technique where the same hue is applied across walls, trim, and even ceilings - is gaining traction, with 55% of experts predicting its rise. This trend is a bold response to years of minimalist, white-dominated interiors. Jewel tones and earthy neutrals are especially popular for creating cohesive and impactful rooms.

For those seeking to experiment with this trend, my post on Infusing Warmth and Depth in Your Home with Analogous Color Schemes provides practical tips and inspiration.

Organic Shapes and Curves

Curves continue to dominate furniture and architecture, with 36% of experts naming them a top trend. From arched doorways to sculptural furniture, rounded designs soften spaces and add an organic feel.

For example, in a kitchen, a curved island can not only enhance traffic flow but also become the room’s striking centrepiece.

If you’re thinking about bringing curves into your space, my guide to Go Against Interior Design Rules to Create Your Dream Home explores how to use these elements effectively.

Multi-Functional Spaces

The demand for flexible living spaces is higher than ever, with 31% of experts noting this as a trend. Whether it’s combining a guest room with a home office or designing a lounge area that doubles as a yoga retreat, versatility is key. I often suggest modular furniture, such as sofa beds or folding desks, to maximise space without sacrificing style.

Colours to Add Value When Selling

Soft, warm whites remain the go-to choice for increasing home value, with 85% of experts agreeing they are ideal for living areas. Neutral tones like greige and taupe are also highly recommended for both living and bedroom spaces.

These hues are not just timeless - they make it easier for potential buyers to imagine themselves in a home.

Personally, I find a home in nothing but neutral colours a tad boring, but it’s worth considering if you’re planning to sell. Adding an accent colour can make a big difference however and add a design feature that buyers will remember.

Below are some of the favourite colours from major paint brands.

What to Avoid

The report cautions against certain hues, with 73% of experts agreeing that lime green is particularly off-putting. This reinforces the importance of selecting colours thoughtfully, especially when designing for resale.

Embracing 2025’s Trends

The 2025 design landscape offers something for every style, from bold maximalism to cozy minimalism. The overarching theme is one of personalisation and harmony, balancing vibrant colours and organic forms with serene neutrals.

Whether you're refreshing a single room or reimagining your entire home, these trends invite you to experiment and make your space uniquely yours.
