Interior Styling Trends Shaping Homes In 2025

In four words…. comfort, nature, simplicity and time.

Nature-Inspired Interiors

Australian homes are embracing biophilic design, integrating natural elements like indoor plants, natural light, and organic materials to create calming, nature-connected. There’s something truly grounding and refreshing about the beauty of nature. From vibrant blooms and Autumn-tinted leaves to homegrown fruits and vegetables, our gardens offer some of life’s most simple and satisfying joys. Embracing this connection, kitchen garden decor brings the outdoors in — blending timeless botanicals with interior styling in a way that feels both effortlessly, elegant and consciously sustainable.

Minimalism with Personality

Minimalist design is evolving to include personal touches, with clean lines, neutral palettes, and meaningful decor items creating serene yet individualized spaces.

Intentional Spaces

We’re now seeing designers carve out separate zones for different hobbies in the home, such as media rooms, sewing and craft spaces, libraries & home gyms — while retaining spaces for families to come together. The living room is no longer defined by the size of the flat-screen TV mounted to the wall. Instead, we’re seeing a return to the traditional sitting-room style — a space designed for conversation, reading, and connection, rather than just streaming the latest series. Today’s living areas are all about creating warm, welcoming environments where family and friends can gather, unwind, and truly reconnect.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Choices

Sustainability remains a key focus, with homeowners opting for eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs to create environmentally conscious living spaces. Fast fashion is out when it comes to interiors.

Personalised or Story-Driven Décor

There’s a growing emphasis on déco that tells a personal story, with unique pieces and heirlooms being incorporated to reflect individual histories and tastes. In relation to artwork, Hanna Marton writer at Home Beautiful explains “there is a growing trend to lean into limited edition artworks or indeed originals, rather than mass-produced poster art.” Art will also become increasingly three-dimensional, “we’ll see other art forms, such as sculptures and woven art make a resurgence.”

Renaissance Red & Bubblegum Pink

These vibrant hues are injecting energy and personality into interiors. To be used sparingly, they are gently moving away from muted minimalism. Renaissance Red brings richness and warmth, perfect for feature walls or accent furnishings, while bubblegum pink adds a playful, nostalgic edge that’s being used in everything from statement art to soft styling. Together, they reflect a growing trend towards expressive, mood-boosting spaces.

Earthy Natural Materials

From natural stones to unstained woods, homeowners gravitated toward earthy tones and raw materials last year and this trend continues. These elements bring warmth and timelessness, perfectly complementing a coastal aesthetic without feeling overly curated.

Seasonal Styling

Winter interiors will be characterised by a focus on comfort and warmth. Layering, particularly with plush fabrics like bouclé and velvet, will be key to creating cozy spaces. Intricate lighting fixtures, unique vases, and sculptural wall art will add visual interest and sophistication.

As the season shifts into Spring and Summer a blend of nature-inspired design, bold patterns, and sustainable materials will feature. Expect a focus on biophilic design, warm neutrals, and natural textures, alongside the return of vintage styles, personal influences and checkers making a stylish comeback in 2025, popping up in soft furnishings and even bold accent walls – adding a playful yet structured edge to interiors.
