Interiors Trends 2025: From Butter Yellow to White Lotus Ceilings
Interiors trends 2025: from 'butter yellow' to Stella McCartney's desk chair
Forget everything you thought you knew about interiors trends, because by 2025 our homes are set to look radically different. From butter-yellow sofas to Stella McCartney-inspired home offices, there's a whole new wave of inspiration coming our way.
Trend forecaster Geraldine Wharry predicts that the minimalist, neutral aesthetic is on its way out, making way for bolder colours and nostalgic touches. Wharry identified several key trends set to dominate in the next couple of years, including "warm neutrals", with shades of yellow, peach and brown gaining popularity, and "biophilic design" incorporating more natural elements, like plants, wood and stone.
The desire to create a calming, nature-inspired space will see a resurgence in textured walls inspired by the Italian “Marmorino” plaster technique. Warm metals such as copper, brass and gold will also make a comeback, complementing the warmer colour palette.
Wharry also highlighted the rising influence of popular culture on interior design choices. Citing Kris Jenner's kitchen ceiling in the recent season of The Kardashians, and the set design of HBO's White Lotus as examples, she predicts a rise in decorative ceilings and carved furniture.
The shift towards bolder aesthetics is also mirrored in furniture choices. The iconic Smeg refrigerator, a staple of retro-inspired kitchens, is predicted to lose its appeal, being replaced by colourful, statement pieces. And when it comes to the home office, sustainability will take centre stage.
As working from home continues, the demand for stylish yet eco-conscious office furniture is set to rise. Stella McCartney's new range of desk chairs, constructed from recycled ocean plastic, could pave the way for a new standard in sustainable home office design. This reflects a broader move towards environmentally responsible choices in home furnishings.
The next few years promise an exciting shake-up in the world of interiors. It's time to embrace bold colours, natural textures, and furniture that's both stylish and sustainable.
