The 15 Design Trends You'll Be Seeing in 2025 and Beyond

As we look ahead to 2025, interior design is moving beyond fleeting fads, embracing a rich tapestry of bold choices, sustainability, and personal expression. At MKG Interior Design, we're spotlighting the trends that promise to shape homes and spaces for years to come. Here's your guide to what's next:

  1. Express Yourself

    Individuality reigns supreme. Clients seek spaces with unique, enduring, and deeply personal character. Goodbye cookie-cutter interiors, hello thoughtful self-expression.

  2. Bolder Is Better

    Dark, moody palettes and unexpected material pairings are redefining "bold." Think rich tones and layered textures that feel as daring as they are timeless.

  3. The Return of Colour

    The stark whites and deep saturations of years past make way for a harmonious middle ground: verdant greens, umbers, and soft, warm neutrals are the hues of the future.

  4. Super Saturated

    Vibrancy is in. Saturated colours bring energy and individuality to interiors, creating dynamic and engaging spaces where creativity shines.

  5. Go Local

    Australian artistry is in the spotlight. From locally crafted furniture to bespoke art, supporting homegrown talent is both stylish and sustainable.

  6. Eco-Driven

    Sustainability takes centre stage. Durable materials, secondhand treasures, and investment pieces are steering design toward a greener future.

  7. Quality First

    Investment furniture and art are back in vogue. With timeless profiles and enduring craftsmanship, these pieces are built to last and make a statement.

  8. Deep in the Woods

    Warm, dark timbers continue their reign, adding a natural depth and richness to interiors.

  9. Sleek Silhouettes

    Clean lines and minimalist shapes elevate spaces with understated elegance.

  10. Cool Metals

    Chrome, stainless steel, and nickel are the metals to watch in 2025, bringing cool sophistication to contemporary designs.

  11. Halo Effect

    Vintage lighting is having a moment. Whether it’s Murano glass for a powder room or a modernist Italian pendant for the dining room, lighting is now a centrepiece.

  12. The Entertainer

    Entertaining at home is back in style. Spaces are being designed to host intimate gatherings with a sense of warmth and charm, making every guest feel special.

  13. What’s Your Passion?

    Purpose-driven spaces reflect passions and hobbies, creating rooms that feel deeply personal and intentional.

  14. ’70s Show

    The freewheeling spirit of the 1970s is influencing interiors once again. Expect bold patterns, experimental textures, and retro-modern blends.

  15. The Timeless Touch

    While trends come and go, timeless design principles—quality, functionality, and beauty—remain at the core of any great interior.

In 2025, design is all about embracing what makes us unique while honouring sustainability and quality. Whether you’re inspired by bold palettes, vintage lighting, or eco-conscious choices, these trends will guide your journey toward creating a home that’s as individual as you are.
