Refresh your home with the top design trends we're loving for 2025.

1. Textured walls 

Mobilia Nerine WALL ART, $599

Adding texture to your walls brings visual interest and personality to a space. Installing a wall treatment is one way to achieve the look, but for less of a commitment, try putting up 3D wallpaper or art. You'll get that run-your-fingers-over-it tactile appeal at a fraction of the cost.

2. Barely-there tech

Technology can help make our homes run more smoothly, but most of us could do without bulky electronics or blinking screens on every surface. For that reason, discreet tech is making waves in the design space—think products made in neutral colours or built seamlessly into furniture.

Symfonisk Picture Frame Speaker, IKEA, $269

3. Retro Recall 

Desenio: Bauhaus Shapes 12" X 16" POSTER, $30; Maarten Leon Holiday in a Glass No2 12" x 16" POSTER, $40

Inject a sense of nostalgia into your space with vintage (or vintage-inspired) furniture, rich hues and vibrant patterns that hark back to your favourite decade. The result is a feast for the eyes that you’ll love for years to come.

5. Maximalism 

IKEA: Grimsås PENDANT LAMP, $70, Friheten/Klagshamn Corner SOFA BED with Storage, $1,128, Emmislöv POUFFE in Skiftebo Yellow, $60, Tingby SIDE TABLE on Casters in White, $70, Klassrum Flatwoven RUG in White/Green, $99 each, Ekerö ARMCHAIR in Skiftebo Yellow, $249, Ikea PS 1995 CLOCK in Blue, $60

Loved for the energy, fun and playfulness it brings to a design, maximalism is the belief that “more is more.” Bright colours and patterns mix with eye­-catching decor and lighting to create a room that commands attention. If vibrant hues and eclectic pieces are your jam, this trend is right up your alley.

6. Soft Lines

Naviago Layout Scalloped Panels in Sand Storm Velvet, Vant Panels, $1,484

Curves were the star of the show last year, and the love of flowing liens and soft silhouettes isn't slowing down anytime soon. All things oblong, cylindrical, spherical and round will be celebrated in 2025, and we love the romantic and whimsical ambience these curved pieces bring.

7. Dedicated Spaces

Anywhere Curtain Rod Room Dividers, Umbra, $65 each

Open-plan spaces have dominated the interior design scene for years, but this well-loved design is being swapped out in favour of separate spaces. Whether it's to secure some extra privacy, create a cozy nook or reading or simply to hide an unmade bed, sectioning off an open-concept layout with room dividers, a bookshelf or a curtain is trending in a serious way.

8. Sensorial Appeal

Silk and Snow: Waffle Full/Queen DUVET COVER in Eucalyptus, $200, Waffle Queen COVERLETS in White and Oat, $200 each, Waffle Standard SHAM SET in Eucalyptus and White, $70/pair

Stimulate all five senses with beautiful pieces that feel, smell, sound and even taste amazing. Lounge on textured fabrics, sing along to your favourite tunes and set the mood with just the right scent, all while keeping your favourite sweets and treats close by for snacking. What could be more inviting than that?
