As we step into 2025, the world of interior design is buzzing with exciting new trends that promise to reshape how we think about our living spaces. This year, it’s all about bold choices, sustainable materials, and innovative technologies that make life easier and more beautiful. Whether you’re planning a full renovation or a subtle refresh, these trends will inspire you to create a home that feels modern, stylish, and uniquely yours.
Earthy Elegance: Natural Materials Steal the Spotlight
2025 continues the trend of bringing the outdoors in, with natural materials taking the lead in interior design. Expect reclaimed wood, rattan, bamboo, and stone to feature prominently in furniture, flooring, and accent pieces. Beyond aesthetics, the focus is on sustainability, with eco-conscious materials elevating both style and environmental responsibility. Our range of Franke sinks exemplifies this trend, offering designs that combine natural aesthetics with functionality. Pair them with Phoenix tapware in finishes like brushed nickel or matte black to enhance the organic feel.
Design Tip: Choose reclaimed wood for statement pieces like dining tables or opt for rattan lighting fixtures to create warmth and texture. Incorporating greenery with potted plants adds another layer of natural beauty.
Why It’s Trending: Australians are prioritising eco-friendly choices, making homes stylish while reducing their carbon footprint.
Bold Colours to Energise Spaces
Neutral tones step aside in 2025 as bold and dynamic colours take over. Jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, and ruby red are set to make interiors pop. These rich hues are balanced by warm terracotta and mustard yellow, creating a harmonious blend of vibrancy and sophistication. Explore our Phoenix Zimi Range collection to introduce bold contrast colours that compliment bold colour schemes. These fixtures serve as eye-catching accents in both kitchens and bathrooms.
How to Incorporate: Try painting a feature wall or updating soft furnishings like cushions and rugs. For a more daring approach, consider bold-coloured cabinetry or a jewel-toned sofa to become the room’s focal point.
Style Insight: These shades bring depth to spaces, evoking feelings of comfort and luxury.
Curves and Soft Shapes Everywhere
Goodbye harsh angles, hello curves! Soft silhouettes are taking over furniture and architecture, with rounded edges on everything from sofas and coffee tables to mirrors and doorways. Curves bring a sense of fluidity and comfort, adding a modern yet timeless touch to any room. Our selection of freestanding baths features elegant, curved designs that serve as stunning focal points in any bathroom. Compliment these with rounded basins and mirrors from our collection to maintain cohesive aesthetics.
Quick Update: Swap out rectangular mirrors for oval or arched designs, or introduce a circular rug to anchor your living space.
Trend Driver: Curves create a sense of balance, making rooms feel more inviting and harmonious.
Maximalism Reimagined with Layered Details
Minimalism takes a backseat as maximalism celebrates vibrant, curated spaces. 2025’s maximalism isn’t about clutter - it’s about layering colours, textures, and patterns thoughtfully to reflect personality. Think floral wallpapers paired with velvet upholstery, or bold tiles mixed with soft, textured rugs. Our Otti LED Archie Shaving Cabinet offers both functionality and style, serving as a perfect addition to a maximalist bathroom. Pair it with vibrant tiles and bold accessories to complete the look.
Easy Introduction: Start with statement cushions or patterned curtains. For a bigger impact, consider a feature wall with bold wallpaper or detailed tiling.
Why It Works: This trend allows for individuality while creating a sense of depth and richness in your home.
Sustainable Luxury for Modern Living
Sustainability meets high-end design in 2025, with materials like recycled metals, FSC-certified woods, and biodegradable fabrics becoming mainstream. The focus is on craftsmanship and quality, ensuring pieces last for decades while making an environmental impact. Our Franke Maris Granite Sinks are perfect for outdoor kitchens, offering durability and style. Complement them with Phoenix Vivid Slimline Sink Mixers for a cohesive design.
How to Achieve It: Invest in artisanal furniture made from recycled materials or update lighting fixtures with energy-efficient LEDs. For an opulent touch, opt for brass or copper accents - they’re timeless and recyclable.
Eco Style: Sustainable design isn’t just a choice; it’s a movement that combines ethical responsibility with luxurious aesthetics.
