As we progress through 2025, the home decor landscape is witnessing a fusion of bold color choices and timeless designs, reflecting a desire for both vibrancy and enduring elegance in living spaces.
One of the standout trends this year is the resurgence of butter yellow in living room decor. This warm, inviting hue has been embraced by celebrities like Goldie Hawn, who introduced a butter yellow armchair into her neutral-toned living space as early as 2020. Interior design expert Magdalena Gierasinska highlights butter yellow's versatility, noting its ability to enhance comfort and serenity without overpowering a room. Its effectiveness in textiles, especially in accent pieces like chairs and pillows, allows homeowners to incorporate the color in a subtle yet impactful manner.
In the realm of furniture, the collaboration between interior designer Jeremiah Brent and Crate & Barrel has resulted in "The Collected Home" collection. This line emphasizes personal storytelling and visual contrast, offering a curated aesthetic that avoids fleeting design trends. The collection features a diverse range of products, from furniture and lighting to decorative accessories, each blending historical influences with modern styles. Notable pieces include the Rhea Pouf and multifunctional storage pedestals, designed to inspire creativity and adapt to evolving spaces and lifestyles.
For the upcoming holiday season, Next Home has unveiled its 2025 Christmas shop, spotlighting a bold monochrome decorating trend. Embracing black and white color schemes, the collection includes striped bows, plush baubles, and illustrated ornaments, all crafted to bring a sophisticated, modern aesthetic to holiday styling. This trend contrasts with last year’s nostalgic focus, offering a sleek, polished look inspired by minimalist and influencer-style homes. Experts like Maria Ramirez of BB Interiors note that the single-color palette provides a calming effect amidst visual clutter, while maintaining luxury through rich textures and festive layering.
The collaboration between Morris & Co. and Habitat has resulted in a new collection that brings a bold and colorful twist to traditional design. Featuring 209 pieces, including 90 new designs, the line blends Morris & Co.’s classic prints with Habitat’s contemporary silhouettes. Key materials include bamboo, marble, brass, and velvet, all tied together by vibrant and retro-inspired color palettes. Noteworthy pieces include a bamboo cane floor lamp and a red velvet accent chair, emphasizing opulent textures and timeless elegance.
In autumn 2025, mushroom footstools have emerged as a major home decor trend, replacing the traditional pumpkin as the season's most stylish accessory. Inspired by 1970s retro design, these footstools combine practical functionality with aesthetic appeal. Widely featured across social media, particularly the green and rusty red Dunelm Mushroom Footstool, they embody a nostalgic flair with their rounded, organic shapes and plush materials like chenille, velvet, sherpa, or fleece. Experts attribute their popularity to a broader revival in vintage interiors and an increased preference for cozy, multifunctional designs.
These trends underscore a dynamic shift in home decor, where bold colors and timeless designs coexist, offering homeowners a diverse palette to express their personal style and create inviting, stylish living spaces.
