Minimalist nature
Sophie said: “Decorative trims and finishes are trends that are set to carry through into 2025, which I love.
“It’s the perfect way to get creative in your home and inject some of your personality into the space. Think wavy mirrors, striped table lamps, pleated fabric light shades and bobbin trims, to name but a few.”
It’s important to pick a fun, colourful piece that “speaks to you” to add some gorgeous colour to any room in the home.
Cool, icy tones
This year, ditch the cool, pared-back colour palettes and opt for warmer colours to create a welcoming, comforting space.

Sophie commented: “A warm, earthy colour palette is as popular as ever, and I don’t see this changing any time soon.”
“Colour drenching is set to continue into the New Year, which will work beautifully with the 2025 colour palette to create a cosy, natural space,” added Lorraine.
Along with deep, tonal browns, a beautiful range of greens is also set to take centre stage.
Fleecy fabrics
Fleecy fabrics, including bouclé furniture, have been a big hit throughout 2024, but according to the experts, this should be ditched in 2025.
Instead, look out for rich, textured fabrics in the earthy tonal colour palettes of 2025 to add an expensive look to your home.
Lorraine added: “Pattrns will also be big news, in both fabrics and wallpaper.
“We will see a return to the extravagance of patterned items, helping a space to feel expensive and adding a real sense of confidence and excitement to your interiors.”
