In 2025, interior design is embracing warmth, sustainability and bold personality. The realm of furniture design is evolving as 2025 emphasizes achieving harmony between innovation and nature, tradition and contemporary style, bold aesthetics and understated elegance.

Ditch the matchy-matchy decor

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Anushka Ahuja, Co Founder at Studio by Agni, shared, “Organic shapes and curved furniture are taking over, replacing rigid geometric designs with a softer, more fluid aesthetic. Textural layering is key, with bouclé, handwoven rugs and raw materials like travertine adding depth and tactility. Statement rugs with bold, graphic patterns and high-contrast colors are becoming focal points, while sustainable and vintage pieces, including reclaimed wood and antique furniture, are making a strong comeback.”

Additionally, she revealed, “Earthy and muted tones such as terracotta, sage green and caramel are redefining cosy sophistication. On the other hand, all-gray interiors are fading away in favor of warmer palettes, while mass-produced minimalism is giving way to handcrafted, unique decor. Wall-to-wall carpeting is being replaced with layered rugs on hard flooring for more personality and overly ornate designs are losing relevance as simpler, functional aesthetics take center stage. Fast furniture is also on its way out, as homeowners prioritise quality, timeless pieces over short-lived trends.”

The luxe combo set to define 2025 living rooms

Bringing his expertise to the same, Falgun Shroff, Co-founder and Promoter at Sources Unlimited, suggested, “Vibrant hues, dynamic forms and unique focal pieces are generating excitement, enriching personality and visual appeal in spaces. Showcasing brightly colored sofas with striking shapes paired with creative coffee tables, these elements create vibrant spaces that are both inviting and aesthetically pleasing.”

Interiors in 2025 focus on blending different eras, materials and styles to produce a space that appears more personalised than just a showroom. Falgun Shroff highlighted, “The industrial-themed trends are fading, as harsh metal and minimalistic factory decor are replaced by cosier, more welcoming styles. Unrefined steel and concrete components are being substituted with intricate features, gentle curves, and textured materials that enhance richness and add personality in furniture. Coordinated sets of furniture are likewise fading. The excessively matched appearance is being replaced by carefully chosen, curated items that convey a narrative.”
