If your home’s been looking a little “meh” lately and you’re wondering whether it’s time to refresh your interiors, the answer is yes. Absolutely yes. In fact, your house just sent me a text begging for a glow-up. Don’t ignore it.
From earthy colour palettes to the revival of the humble curtain’s sleeker cousin, the blind, this year’s home décor trends are all about creating calm, characterful spaces that reflect you—with just the right amount of “I totally didn’t copy this from Pinterest.”
Let’s dive into what’s trending in the world of interiors faster than you can say “where’s my paint tester?”
1. Earthy Tones and Natural Textures
Goodbye grey, hello clay! Warm, earthy hues like terracotta, sage green, rust, and ochre are making themselves very comfortable on our walls, cushions and even kitchen cupboards. Pair them with natural textures like rattan, jute, and wood, and suddenly you’ve got a living room that says “I do yoga and drink herbal tea” even if you definitely don’t.
Natural textures are everywhere—from coffee tables that look like they were lovingly carved out of driftwood, to lampshades that resemble oversized woven baskets. It’s rustic chic with a modern twist, and we’re very into it.
2. Statement Ceilings (Yes, Really)
Apparently, we’ve run out of things to decorate on the ground, so we’re looking up. Statement ceilings are on the rise—whether it’s bold paint, patterned wallpaper, or even wooden beams being embraced rather than painted over.
It’s a brave move, but one that pays off. Think of it like giving your room a fancy hat. Suddenly, the whole outfit (or in this case, room) just feels a bit more put together.
3. Window Dressings: Fashion for Your Glass Panes
Now, let’s talk about the unsung heroes of home décor—window dressings. These bad boys don’t just block out the neighbour’s fairy lights that are still up in April, they’re also crucial for pulling a room together.
Blinds
Blinds have become the “cool aunt” of the window world. Sleek, practical, and surprisingly stylish. Whether you go for Venetian, roller, or Roman blinds, the options are endless. And let’s not forget day & night blinds—the multitaskers of the blind universe, perfect for indecisive people (which is, let’s face it, most of us).
Patterned blinds are in, especially in bold prints or subtle geometric designs. They add just enough interest without shouting “look at me!” too loudly. Although, if you do want your windows to scream “fabulous”, by all means, go wild.
Shutters
If blinds are the cool aunt, shutters are the refined older cousin with a Parisian apartment. Timeless, elegant, and effortlessly stylish. White plantation shutters are still a favourite, but darker shades like charcoal or navy are creeping in for a more dramatic look.
They’re also brilliant at giving you privacy while still letting in light, which is ideal if your front room feels a bit too close to the pavement (we see you, nosy dog walkers).
4. Curves Are In (And We’re Not Just Talking Sofas)
Move over harsh lines—2025 is all about curves. From rounded armchairs to arched doorways and oval coffee tables, curves are bringing softness back into our homes. Even mirrors have given up their hard edges in favour of more fluid, organic shapes.
This trend is cosy, calming, and a little bit sexy (yes, furniture can be sexy—just look at a boucle sofa and tell me you don’t want to stroke it).
5. Personalised Spaces
Finally, the biggest home décor trends of all? Making your home feel like you. Whether it’s a gallery wall of questionable art you made during lockdown, or a sideboard covered in vintage finds and succulents you may or may not be keeping alive, self-expression is in.
Because after all, home décor trends come and go—but a home that reflects your personality never goes out of style.
In Conclusion…
Home décor trends are looking warmer, softer, and a lot more fun this year. Whether you’re repainting the whole place or just jazzing up your windows with a stylish new blind or shutter, remember—your home doesn’t have to look like a showroom. It just has to feel like yours. (Preferably one with excellent lighting and maybe a cheeky scented candle.)
