As we step into 2025, the world of home design continues to evolve. Last year we saw sustainable, biophilic designs dominate in the new building space with the slow yet steady introduction of multi-functional spaces and smart home integration. Interiors focused on adding dimension with texture, mixing metals and investing in timeless, quality pieces to elevate home aesthetics.

While many of these trends are here to stay, 2025 promises to bring fresh ideas that redefine modern living. So what’s next for the home design industry? Let’s explore the standout trends shaping the year ahead.

Pantone’s 2025 Colour of the Year is here—Mocha Mousse

The perfect choice for bold accents, striking exteriors, or refined interiors. Timeless yet modern, this shade transforms your space with style and balance. 

“PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.” 

Would you use this colour in your home? 

Bold Colour Blocking; Minimalism is back!

Say goodbye to muted tones and hello to vibrant, high-contrast palettes! Maximalism is a trend that has surged in popularity in recent years and is anticipated to maintain its momentum in 2025. Bold colour blocking is taking centre stage, infusing homes with energy and personality. 

What can you expect? 

  • Vibrant, high contrast palettes that create energy and define spaces within open-plan homes 
  • Pairing unexpected hues (like terracotta with teal)
  • Accent walls and large-scale artwork using geometric pattern and bold colours

Mid-Century Modern Revival

The charm of mid-century design is making a comeback, reimagined with modern touches for contemporary homes. 

What can you expect? 

  • A blend of timeless design elements with modern touches, such as a sleek furniture and minimalist decor 
  • Neutral and soft colour palettes, with hints of deep jewel tones like emerald, ruby, or sapphire
  • Statement vintage furniture like fireplaces, wooden cabinetry and shag rugs 

Multi-Functional and Flexible Spaces

Modern lifestyles demand homes that adapt to ever-changing needs. In 2025, versatility will be key. 

What can you expect? 

  • Open-plan designs with adaptable area that serve multipurposes (e.g. home office doubling as a guest room)
  • Built-in storage solutions and concealed cabinetry to maximise usable space 
  • Movable partitions and furniture to create zones in larger spaces 

Modern-Classic Farmhouse

The trend that continues to be a favourite, offering a seamless blend of rustic charm and contemporary elegance. 

What can you expect? 

  • Facades with neutral tones, contrasting black or charcoal window frames and matte Colorbond roofing
  • Natural stone accents and reclaimed wooden beams 
  • Key Feature: oversized kitchen island with undermount sinks and brass tapware

Smart Home Integration

Technology has the power to shape the way we live, with smart homes becoming increasingly sophisticated and user-friendly. 

What can you expect? 

  • Fully integrated smart systems for lighting, security, climate control, and entertainment
  • Voice and app-controlled automation for greater convenience and energy saving
  • Customisable smart hub to align with individual family needs
