1. Textured Walls and Ceilings

Gone are the days of flat, plain walls and ceilings. Textures add depth and character, making any space feel more dynamic.

How to incorporate:

Experiment with textured wallpapers, such as grasscloth or embossed designs.
Try plaster finishes for a sophisticated, timeless look.
Use wooden beams or panels on ceilings to add warmth and architectural interest.

2. Colour Drenching

We saw colour drenching becoming more popular in 2024 and it is definitely here to stay! Say goodbye to neutral minimalism and hello to bold, unified spaces. Colour drenching involves using a single colour throughout a room - on walls, ceilings, and even furniture.

How to incorporate:

Choose a bold yet comforting shade, like deep teal or terracotta, and apply it across multiple surfaces.
Pair with contrasting décor elements, like metallics or natural wood, to balance the intensity.

3. Gallery Walls

Gallery walls remain a strong favourite, allowing homeowners to showcase their personal tastes and tell stories through art.

How to incorporate:

Gather a mix of artwork, from framed prints to family photos and small sculptures.
Arrange them in a grid for a formal look or in an organic layout for a more relaxed vibe.
Use varying frame styles and sizes for added visual interest.

4. Furniture as Art

Furniture is no longer just functional; it’s a statement. Sculptural and artistic furniture pieces are a growing trend in 2025.

How to incorporate:

Invest in a statement chair or coffee table with bold, artistic shapes.
Look for vintage or bespoke pieces that double as conversation starters.
Use lighting to highlight these standout items.

5. Natural Stone Accents

Natural materials bring elegance and a connection to the outdoors. Stone elements are making a big impact this year.

How to incorporate:

Add a marble countertop or backsplash in your kitchen.
Use stone vases, trays, or side tables as accents.
Consider stone tiles for flooring or a statement wall.

6. Colour of the Year: Pantone Mocha Mousse

This year, Pantone has named Mocha Mousse as the Colour of the Year. A warm, rich, and inviting shade that balances vibrancy with tranquillity.

How to incorporate:

Introduce Mocha Mousse through throw pillows, rugs, or curtains for an easy refresh.
Use it as an accent wall or in small décor pieces to stay on-trend without committing to a full overhaul.
Pair it with neutral tones or complement it with earthy greens and terracotta’s for a harmonious look.
