As we step into 2025, the interior design community is embracing a blend of nature, artistry and functionality. Here at Basil & Tate Interior Design Studio, our team has rounded up our favorite design trends shaping the year ahead. These trends are perfect for creating timeless, inviting spaces in your home— both now and in the years yet to come.
1. Natural & Organic Materials
This year the focus is on grounding spaces with natural materials. Think wood, stone, rattan and linen pieces— each adding warmth and authenticity to interiors. From textured stone countertops to reclaimed wood beams, incorporating these design elements creates a connection to the outdoors. One of our favorite ways to integrate this trend? A rattan bench or stone-accented fireplace to anchor your space with an earthy vibe.
2. Neutral & Muted Palettes
Soft whites, warm greys and beige tones dominate 2025’s color palette. These neutral hues offer a calming backdrop, perfect for layering in muted accents of green, terracotta or smoky blues. The result? A versatile foundation that works with both modern and classic design styles, effortlessly tying together organic design and contemporary sensibilities.
3. Statement Lighting
Lighting takes center stage as a form of functional art. Oversized pendants, sculptural chandeliers, and woven fixtures in natural fibers transform rooms into illuminated galleries. Talk about elevating your space to another level! Whether it’s a brass statement light in the dining room or a dramatic rattan fixture above the kitchen island, this trend is about making bold choices that define and bring high-design impact to your space.
4. Layered Textures & Minimalism
Gone are the days of stark minimalism. In 2025, minimalism is evolving with layered textures— think sleek finishes paired with cozy elements. Imagine a polished concrete floor softened by a plush boucle chair, or modern cabinetry contrasted with woven textiles. The key is balance: keeping spaces uncluttered, but ensuring they still feel warm, welcoming and lived-in.
5. Green Design
Reinforcing the connection to nature, green or biophilic design is all about bringing the outdoors indoors. Vertical gardens, statement potted plants, and large windows framing vibrant outdoor views redefine interiors this year. Greenery isn’t just decorative— it also improves our air quality and fosters a sense of calm in any environment. For a small-space option, try adding trailing plants to shelving or opting for a corner fiddle-leaf fig tree.
