Key interior design trends to watch in 2025

As we move into 2025, interior design is set to evolve in exciting ways that reflect the changing nature of our lifestyles, technological advancements, and a growing focus on sustainability. Homes and workspaces are transforming into personalised sanctuaries of well-being and individuality, with design trends for the year ahead emphasising a balance between comfort, creativity, and consciousness. From luxurious home wellness spaces to the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), here are the trends that will shape our living and working environments in 2025.

Home wellness spaces: The new priority

Health and wellness are now at the forefront of interior design. More and more, clients are seeking spaces that cater to their well-being, such as private yoga studios, dedicated meditation zones, and, of course, spa-like bathrooms. "Far from the utilitarian spaces of the past, today's bathrooms boast temperature-controlled WCs, body spray systems, and massage shower panels with ambient lighting," says Sonali Ashar, founder of Sonali Ashar Designs. These features are transforming bathrooms into luxurious retreats.

Sustainable design: Eco-consciousness at its core

Sustainability is no longer a trend but a necessity. Recycled materials, energy-efficient lighting, and eco-friendly furniture are becoming integral to every design scheme. "Natural textures like reclaimed wood, cane and stone dominate, creating earthy, serene spaces," shares Abizer Bhavnagarwala, Interior Designer at Elevate Designs. Expect to see more homes embracing sustainable living practices while maintaining high-end aesthetic appeal.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI): Redefining the creative process

One of the most thrilling trends is the growing role of AI in interior design. From design software that automates certain tasks to virtual reality tools that allow for immersive, customisable experiences, AI is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in interior design. “The question is—will AI overpower the architect’s creative vision, or will designers harness it intelligently to push boundaries? I believe the latter will redefine the industry,” says Radhika Panchal, Principal Architect & Founder of “राह by Radhika.”

Maximalism: Bold, unapologetic design

If minimalism has ruled for years, maximalism is now making a statement in 2025. It's all about embracing abundance—think dramatic patterns, vibrant colours, and layers of texture. "Done right, maximalism can create visually aesthetic interiors and sensory experiences," says Sonali. It's a celebration of excess and a shift towards more dynamic, expressive home environments.

Biophilic design: Bringing the outdoors in

The connection to nature continues to influence design in 2025, with biophilic elements thriving in modern interiors. "Indoor gardens, living walls, and large windows that invite natural light are redefining contemporary spaces," explains Abizer. The result is serene, nature-inspired environments that promote well-being and calm, while also serving as sustainable solutions.

Revolutionising workspace design: The new office culture

Workspaces are undergoing a major transformation as the lines between work and life continue to blur. The focus is now on creating environments that are not only functional but also creative and calming. “I’m currently developing a concept to revolutionise workspace design by blending functionality with artistic expression," says Radhika. This shift is redefining work culture, enhancing productivity, and fostering a more holistic approach to workspace design.

These trends offer a captivating blend of innovation and tradition, sustainability and luxury, functionality and individuality. As interior design continues to evolve, these changes reflect a deeper understanding of modern living and its many complexities. Designers and architects are pushing the boundaries of what is possible, creating spaces that are not only beautiful but meaningful, fostering comfort, connection, and a sense of purpose. The future of interior design is about creating environments that resonate with the people who inhabit them, turning houses into homes and workspaces into hubs of inspiration.
