Have you just bought a new home?
Looking for some inspiration to decorate it perfectly for the upcoming year?
Well, designers say the trend forecast for 2025 is all about Cosy Living.
Cool minimalism has dominated the trends over the last couple of years. Cool-tone colours like whites, beiges and cremes have been all the rage. The desired look has historically been sleek and sharp for a few years, but interior designers say there will be a slight shift to something more homely and warm-toned.
Warm minimalism isn’t a huge jump away from what we have seen in recent years; it’s the same foundation with a darker colour palette. We are moving away from cool minimalism and moving towards a richer and more layered approach to décor in homes.
Designers believe brown and wooden elements will be central to many interior designs in the coming year. The goal is to create a more earthy and cosy living space with a relaxed aesthetic, achieved through rounded edges and a more flexible approach to minimalism.
The idea behind the biophilic design is to bring the outdoors in. Many designers think the expected boost in biophilic design is due to society's recent focus on mental well-being, and the trend forecast predicts this will be reflected in our décor choices through biophilic design, reconnecting us with nature by bringing it into our living spaces.
The kitchen is a room in the home that is getting special attention this year. The surge of home technology and kitchen gadgets can lead to a sense of over-consumption for homeowners. Designers are predicting that the pendulum will swing the other way, and homeowners will be looking at designing their kitchens with nostalgia at the forefront of their minds.
To achieve a nostalgic kitchen look, it's important to incorporate a vintage feel while moving away from the notions of over-consumption. Many designers believe combining vintage aesthetics with modern functionality will be a significant trend in kitchen decor this coming year. Lighter wood and light benches in the kitchen create that nostalgic feeling for many; lighter tones of paint light the room and make it feel bigger and airier.
The Cosy living trend will significantly increase warmer-toned lights, woods and rich earthy colours in the home, all in order to create a cosy and welcoming environment. We will see minimalist décor become a lot laxer. The focus of the home becoming the way it feels rather than placing too much emphasis on the way it looks.
