Biggest Trends of 2025

As we move into 2025, interior design trends are focusing on personalization, sustainability, and a deeper connection to natural and timeless elements. Even though these are considered "trends", I consider them to be timeless. Your personal touches and natural elements will stand the test of time.

While these trends are inspiring, incorporating them into your home without a complete redesign can be challenging. This is where hiring a stylist becomes invaluable. A stylist can bridge the gap between these fresh ideas and your current space, ensuring every addition feels intentional, seamless, and uniquely yours.

Top Trends for 2025

Pantone’s Color of the Year

2025’s Pantone Color of the Year is expected to emphasize connection and balance, likely an earthy tone like sage green or terracotta. While it’s tempting to repaint an entire room, a stylist can help you integrate this hue through accessories like throw pillows, rugs, or curated artwork—giving your space a fresh vibe without major changes.

Sustainable and Natural Materials

The shift toward natural materials—reclaimed wood, stone, and organic fabrics—is stronger than ever. A stylist can identify ways to incorporate these elements into your home with thoughtful upgrades. For instance, swapping out synthetic decor items for handcrafted wood trays or organic wool throws can make a noticeable difference while aligning with sustainable practices.

Biophilic Design and Live Plants

Plants are more than decorative—they create healthier, more calming environments. A stylist can guide you in selecting plants that thrive in your specific lighting conditions and arranging them in visually impactful ways. Whether it’s a statement fiddle-leaf fig or a cascading pothos, they’ll ensure plants feel integrated and not like an afterthought.

Arches and Curves

Adding curves through furniture, mirrors, or rugs softens a room and creates visual flow. Instead of tearing down walls to create arched doorways, a stylist can introduce these shapes with arched shelving or a curved statement chair. Small tweaks can deliver the look without the commitment of structural changes.

Customized Art and Accents

Art adds character and tells a story. A stylist can help you source or commission pieces that fit your personal style and existing decor. They’ll also guide you in placement, ensuring the scale, framing, and arrangement complement your space perfectly.

Wallpaper Renaissance

If you’re hesitant about committing to bold wallpaper trends, a stylist can suggest using it in smaller doses, like on an accent wall, powder room, or even as a framed piece of art. This way, you can experiment without feeling overwhelmed by the scale of the transformation.

Maximalism with Meaning

Styling maximalism is an art in itself. A skilled stylist can layer textures, patterns, and colors to create a cohesive look without veering into clutter. They’ll curate meaningful pieces that reflect your personality, ensuring every detail feels purposeful.

Warm Metallics and Unique Details

From brass light fixtures to copper accent pieces, warm metals add richness to any room. A stylist will help you mix metals and materials, achieving a layered, polished look. They can also introduce unique details like custom drawer pulls or patterned tiles for subtle sophistication.

Why Invest in a Stylist?

Incorporating trends without a complete overhaul requires careful consideration. Here’s how a stylist can elevate your space:

Curating Additions: They ensure new items blend seamlessly with your existing decor, avoiding the piecemeal look that can come from impulsive purchases.
Maximizing Budget: A stylist helps prioritize investments, focusing on impactful changes like statement lighting or high-quality textiles.
Expert Perspective: They know how to balance scale, proportion, and color to make each room cohesive and visually appealing.
Time-Saving: Styling a home is time-consuming, especially when navigating trends. A stylist streamlines the process, doing the legwork for you.
