Interior styling is ever-evolving, with each year bringing fresh ideas, reimagined aesthetics, and new influences that shape the way we design our spaces. In recent years, we’ve seen the rise of biophilic design, the return of maximalism, and the enduring appeal of neutral, minimalist interiors. As we step into 2025, a new wave of trends is emerging by blending bold expression with timeless sophistication. Our expert stylists from Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria have identified the top seven interior style trends set to define the year ahead. From rich, grounding hues to dynamic colour contrasts, these trends will inspire the way we style and experience our spaces in the months to come.
Grounding Earthy Tones
Neutral tones have long dominated interiors, but in 2025, the trend is shifting towards richer, more grounded hues. While beige and sandstone remain popular, we’re seeing a growing embrace of clay-toned browns, cinnamon, and terracotta linens; bringing an organic and timeless appeal to interiors.
Bold & Organic Shapes
Curved furniture and flowing silhouettes were on the rise last year, and their popularity continues to grow. Interior styling in 2025 will emphasise bold, organic shapes that soften a space while allowing a seamless visual flow from one area to another. Unique, sculptural designs are becoming a key element in creating lasting, impactful interior styling that feels both artistic and functional.

Depth & Elegance
The all-white boucle trend is evolving, making way for deeper, more luxurious tones. Jewel-toned velvets and textured tweeds in rich merlot and deep burgundy hues are emerging as a sophisticated alternative, adding depth and elegance to high-end interior styling. Curves are also playing a role in this trend, with furniture and decor taking on sculptural forms that serve as both functional and statement pieces.
Layered Saturation
Monochromatic interiors are stepping up with a new level of depth through layered saturation. Instead of simply adding pops of colour, spaces are now being designed with one dominant hue applied in different textures, shades, and finishes. This approach creates immersive and visually striking environments that feel cohesive yet bold.
Quirky Maximalism
A departure from neutral, minimalistic design, quirky maximalism is making waves in 2025. Bright colours, bold patterns, and material mixing are seeing a resurgence, celebrating individuality and creativity in interior styling. This playful, expressive trend moves away from traditional styling rules, instead encouraging a layered, curated look full of personality and charm.
Deep in the Woods
Warm, darker-toned timbers are cementing their place in 2025 interior styling, bringing an earthy richness to contemporary spaces. From walnut to deep-stained oak, these timbers add depth, character, and a sense of grounding, making them an enduring choice for flooring, furniture, and cabinetry.
Pantone of the Year: Mocha Mousse
Pantone’s 2025 Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse, perfectly embodies the desire for warmth and comfort. This rich brown hue is reminiscent of chocolate and coffee, making it a versatile and inviting choice for interior styling. Whether used as a wall color, upholstery, or accent pieces, Mocha Mousse exudes sophistication and a timeless appeal.
