“Interiors are exceptionally creative at the moment – with vibrant colours balanced by more calming neutrals. Influence and inspiration is coming from everywhere, from the Chinese zodiac to the natural world,” said Alysha Alli from our in-house interiors team.
She’s shared the hottest interior design trends for 2025. Read on to find out how you can adapt the latest interiors trends into your new home, including the colour of the year 2025, kitchen décor ideas and sustainable homes inspiration.
Colour trends for 2025
“Interior design trends for 2025 will include warm minimalism and pared back maximalism,” Alysha predicted. “Think rich and bold colours, balanced with warm neutrals.”
Key colour trends for 2025 will be deep blue and darker, vibrant greens, purples and oranges.
“More is more with maximalism, but it’s been pared back to have more of a calming vibe, which people need,” Alysha added.
“We’re seeing homeowners becoming bolder with their colour choices and perhaps opting for a vibrant blue sofa and then balancing it out with neutral walls rather than wrapping the whole room in one colour.”
With feature walls popular in recent years, Alysha predicts the wallpaper trends for 2025 will see full rooms adorned “celestial and whimsical” wallpaper. She predicted orange, green and blue hues and the trend for adonised metal will carry through into wallpaper for 2025.
The Dulux colour of the year 2025 has been confirmed as “True Joy”, described as an “uplifting yellow”.
“The Dulux colour of the year 2025 is another example of the trend for bold and bright colour choices,” Alysha said.
“Yellow tones, like True Joy, bring a sense of optimism to the home along with pops of colour. It’s a great gender neutral way of adding colour to a nursery and also works well in older children and teenager’s bedrooms. Fabrics with a pop of this specific yellow tone, such as accent cushions piping, offers a subtle way to style your home with this trend.
“Or you could add a pop of yellow through artwork or even picture frames. This colour is also in keeping with the kitsch trend and can be used to add retro vibes to your home.”
Inspired by nature
The natural world remains a key interior design trend. Organic shapes with curving lines that link to nature will feature in everything from curved sofa backs to curved coffee tables and sculptural décor.
“Boho and coastal elements are moving the trend for nostalgia on, with woven chunky materials represented in pieces of furniture,” Alysha added. “This trend also gives a nod to nature with textural plaster and concrete artworks, the more natural in their form the better.”
Woven materials, easily traced back to where they were made, are also set to be popular.
“Trays are a great way to help keep things organised and woven leather or faux leather trays will elevate this look. The weave trend will also be seen in rugs in chunky wool blends and cushions with woven sections to add texture and interest,” Alysha added.
Lighting trends for 2025 include larger shades made from woven raffia. “Lighting is set to become less celestial but more mystical with layers of natural and imperfect forms,” Alysha said.
Reptiles reign
Under the Chinese zodiac it’s the year of the snake in 2025 and this is set to inspire interiors.
“Snakes and serpents are set to be everywhere in 2025 in part because it’s the year of the snake,” Alysha explained. “It also links with the natural world trend and is also a symbolic in Greek mythology too.
“Snake shaped metal curtain hooks is one of the more subtle ways to bring this trend into your home to complement your interior style.”
“Textured wallpaper, with the effect of a lizard skin is set to be prevalent,” Alysha added.
And it’s not just the inside of your home where you can apply the new trends. Alysha suggested: “You could add some interest by swapping out the door furniture and adding a serpent door knocker.”

Wellbeing and the home
With the stresses of modern living, it’s important that your home supports your wellbeing, and this is a continuing trend in interiors in 2025.
“Being mindful is an important part of how you style your home. People need a space where they can relax. They want comfort through their colour scheme and tactile soft furnishings such as woven, sustainable substantial knits,” Alysha said.
In Redrow show homes we often have a statement chair, with a curved spherical back detail, in the lounge window. Alysha thinks this trend will go further with bigger curves and extra padding.
“The boucle teddy like material is set to be bigger with fuller, more sumptuous texture,” Alysha suggested.
“Oversized pillows and cushions with tactile and soft voluminous padding on beds or sofas is another way to support wellbeing through your interiors.”
Sustainable design
The climate crisis means people are more aware of their impact on the planet and this includes their energy use and interior styling. We’re committed to building sustainable homes as part of vibrant communities. Our Eco Now Homes and “zero carbon ready” Eco Electric Homes are among the most efficient available.
“Sustainable home décor is a popular movement as it offers the chance to be more imaginative with your styling,” Alysha said.
“People are consciously choosing to shop local, support small businesses by sourcing items from Etsy or to upcycle things they have or have found on marketplace or in charity shops rather than buying mass produced fast interiors items.”
The sustainable décor trend is also influencing material choices.
“A chunky weave textile is a sustainable alternative to crushed velvet. Paired with cork, bamboo or rattan it creates a chic high-end look and feel.” Alysha explained.

Kitchen and bathroom trends 2025
The design of our homes puts kitchen at the heart of the home. You can use our kitchen visualiser in the customer experience suite of your chosen development to explore kitchen décor ideas.
“If you’re not colour confident enough to upgrade to Princeton Indigo cabinetry you could choose a classic colour and then add colour to your kitchen décor by painting the walls,” Alysha suggested.
Both kitchens and bathrooms also come alive with the addition of plants and natural greenery.
“An oversized mossy bowl on a dining table is a more practical approach than creating a living wall,” Alysha said. “Or you could have lots of little vases with plants that can easily be changed with the seasons.”
Mood boosting colours – including inky blue, khaki green and auburn tones – are great options for bathroom décor.

Flexible spaces with a focus on tech
Remote working has made people more adaptable in how they use the space in their homes. They’re becoming more creative with home office ideas and not necessarily taking up a full room, particularly if they’re hybrid workers.
“People are maximising how a space is used and so a room could be multipurpose with the help of space saving adaptable furniture,” Alysha explained. “They may decide to set up a work station which is within a bedroom set up using a sofa bed and dressing table come desk, or perhaps have a coffee table or console that has a hidden compartment that folds out to become a desk. At the end of the working day, it can then be folded back down and stored inside.”
Interiors are also set to become more techy in 2025, including desks with charging points set inside them or lighting that can be synchronised with your phone. These are practical features but have an aesthetic benefit as they’ll reduce the need to hide wires.
Bluetooth mirrors from Roper Rhodes are among the high tech options available via My Redrow meaning you can adjust the colour temperature and brightness, plus play music or listen to a podcast or even take calls via the mirror’s inbuilt speakers

Trending materials for 2025
Ceramics and concrete with matt effect finishes, such as Terrazzo – concrete with coloured chips of marble, granite, quartz, glass, shell, or materials mixed in – are among the materials set to be popular for home décor in 2025.
“A lot of marble is now labelled with where it’s from and that’s because it’s a natural product so items will differ. People are getting used to having imperfect natural items,” Alysha added.
Mango wood, walnut and reclaimed wood with imperfections are predicted to be another trend, along with low impact textures such as leather or more commonly faux leather.
“Accent chairs and dining chairs in our show homes often have a cut out effect and this trend is set to extend to other pieces of furniture – perhaps with a gap in the fabric of a wooden framed headboard,” Alysha suggested.

Budget friendly tips to embracing the latest interiors trends
When it comes to decorating your home on a budget you can still stay on top of interior trends by buying cleverly.
“Make small changes such as changing lamp shades and even the bulb within a light fitting can alter the glow of a space – I always go for warm white within the show homes. Replacing cushion covers and adding accessories such as a stone tray to store remote controls and marble coasters, candles and jars are just some of the ways to switch up your space,” Alysha said.
“If you don’t need a new sofa, you could replace some cushions or add Grecian style vases or picture frames in marble or stone. Placing seagrass or bamboo baskets around a space is a clever hack to refresh your interiors.”
