2025 Interior Design Trends to Transform Your Home
As we step into 2025, interior design is embracing bold, personal, and sustainable styles that turn homes into vibrant, functional sanctuaries. At Geary Realty, we’re excited to share the top trends shaping home aesthetics this year. We’ll share some of our recent design projects as well as some amazing designs seen on display at the Lake Forest Showhouse (LFSH) which we just had the privilege of touring this week. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or staging a property for sale, these trends will help you create spaces that feel timeless yet forward-thinking.
1. Bold Color Palettes and Color Drenching
Neutral, all-white interiors are fading into the past, making way for rich, saturated hues that add personality and warmth. Think deep jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple, alongside earthy shades such as burgundy, mocha, and olive green. The trend of color drenching—painting walls, ceilings, and trim in a single hue—creates immersive, cohesive spaces that feel both bold and serene. For a subtler approach, incorporate these colors through accent pieces like pillows, throws, or statement furniture.
2. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Materials
Sustainability remains a cornerstone of 2025 design, with a focus on eco-conscious materials that are as beautiful as they are planet-friendly. Vegan leathers, non-toxic paints, and repurposed woods are must-haves, alongside natural materials like travertine, marble, and rattan. Designers are also embracing vintage and antique pieces to add character while reducing waste. At Geary Realty, we see this trend resonating with buyers who value homes that reflect environmental responsibility. Tip: Source furniture from local artisans, thrift markets or our favorite, Facebook Marketplace, to create a unique, sustainable aesthetic.
3. Curved and Organic Shapes
Say goodbye to sharp angles and hello to soft, flowing lines. Curved furniture, arched doorways, and rounded architectural elements are dominating 2025 interiors, bringing a sense of fluidity and comfort. From kidney-shaped sofas to capsule-shaped coffee tables, these organic forms create inviting spaces that feel both modern and timeless. This trend is perfect for softening the look of contemporary homes or adding elegance to traditional ones.

4. Textured Walls and Ceilings
Plain walls and ceilings are out, and textured unique surfaces are in. Think wood paneling, decorative plaster, limewash, or even wallpapered and lacquered ceilings to add depth and character. These treatments transform the “fifth wall” (your ceiling) into a statement piece, making rooms feel cozier and more dynamic.

5. Wellness-Focused Spaces
With a growing emphasis on mental and physical well-being, homes in 2025 are being designed as havens for relaxation. Dedicated wellness spaces—like meditation nooks, reading corners, or spa-inspired bathrooms—are becoming must-haves. Features such as steam showers, heated floors, and biophilic elements (think indoor plants and natural light) enhance the restorative feel. At Geary Realty, we’re seeing buyers prioritize homes with these nurturing spaces.
6. Maximalism with Intention
Maximalism is evolving into “intentional clutter,” where bold patterns, layered textures, and curated collections create vibrant yet cohesive spaces. Mix geometric rugs with floral wallpapers or pair vintage finds with modern pieces to tell a personal story. This trend is all about authenticity—designers encourage homeowners to showcase items with history and meaning.

7. Smart and Discreet Technology
Technology is becoming seamlessly integrated into home design, with smart devices that blend into decor. Hidden speakers, wireless charging furniture, and voice-controlled lighting maintain style without sacrificing function. This trend appeals to tech-savvy buyers who want modern conveniences in a polished package.
8. Art Deco Revival
Marking the 100th anniversary of Art Deco, 2025 sees a resurgence of its bold geometry, luxe materials, and vibrant colors. Think mirrored surfaces, chrome accents, and high-gloss lacquer furniture that add a touch of glamour. This style works beautifully as a statement in a single room, like a dining area, home office, or on your front door.
