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.”
