2025 is set to be an exciting year for the world of design, creating the perfect opportunity for an interior refresh. From the rising popularity of biophilic elements that soothe the soul, to vintage aesthetics that spark nostalgia, and multisensory interiors that look just as good as they feel - this year’s trends are all about transforming spaces into immersive experiences.
At Material Lab, we’re constantly tapping into these ever-evolving ideas, and our London studio is the ultimate destination to discover how these trends can elevate your projects. Read on to discover the top 10 interior trends shaping 2025 and find inspiration for your next commercial or residential revamp.
Tektura 'Willow'
Biophilic design continues to dominate the world of interiors, but this year, it’s being celebrated in more innovative and intentional ways. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the focus is on creating spaces that promote mental well-being and provide a sense of calm by strengthening the connection between indoor and outdoor environments. Larger windows with higher glass-to-wall ratios, rich green, blue, and brown-focused palettes, and natural materials, like timber and stone, create an effortless transition between the two. For those looking to push the concept further, water features like indoor fountains or reflecting pools are becoming increasingly popular amongst designers, bringing the soothing qualities of nature into even the most urban settings.

Johnson Tiles 'Contour'
Colour trends for 2025 are set to take a more understated yet sophisticated direction, with designers embracing soft, muted tones that add depth and elegance. These “quietly colourful” palettes can be layered to create spaces that feel dynamic yet comforting, shifting beautifully with changing light throughout the day. While these tones work well together, they can also be paired with bold accents to add impact. Dulux’s Colour of the Year, True Joy, is a perfect example - whether introduced through vibrant furniture pieces or an eye-catching feature wall.
Strike the right balance with Johnson Tiles' 'Contour' range.
Tektura 'Island Weave'
Texture will steal the spotlight in 2025, elevating interiors through multisensory design that engages both sight and touch. Designers are getting creative with both walls and ceilings, with embossed wallpapers, 3D tiles, and layered materials redefining how spaces feel and interact with light. Combining contrasting elements - like metallic accents with rustic wood or glossy finishes with matte surfaces - adds depth and personality, elevating the visual impact of any interior.

VADO water-saving ‘Atmosphere’ shower
As sustainability becomes an integral part of design, interiors are evolving to reflect a deeper commitment to eco-conscious living. Reclaimed materials, such as timber and metal, are being reimagined in contemporary designs, while upcycled elements are gaining prominence for their ability to tell a story. Beyond materials, sustainability now extends to the longevity of spaces themselves, with an emphasis on creating timeless designs that won’t require frequent updates. Vertical gardens, living walls, and energy-efficient home technologies are also becoming defining features of eco-forward interiors, which are only expected to evolve over the coming years.

Johnson Tiles 'Spectrum' collection
Both earthy and endlessly versatile, terracotta continues to hold its place as a design favourite. For 2025, it is being incorporated into interiors in both subtle and bold ways - whether through richly toned feature walls, durable flooring in high-traffic areas, or decorative accents that bring a sense of warmth and depth to any space.
Terracotta-inspired ranges like Johnson Tiles' 'Spectrum' collection pairs well with organic materials like linen, rattan, or jute, terracotta creates a relaxed yet refined aesthetic, offering an ideal backdrop for spaces that are just as comforting as they are stylish.
VADO chrome showers
Polished silver and chrome are making a comeback this year, reclaiming their place as go-to finishes for contemporary interiors. These sleek, reflective surfaces lend a modern edge to everything from kitchens to furniture, providing a versatile and sophisticated alternative to the muted metallics of recent years. Larger pieces, like chrome-framed tables or reflective wall panels, enhance natural light and create an open, airy feel, while smaller accents - such as cabinet handles, light fixtures, or even strategically placed cutlery - add subtle yet striking details that elevate the overall design.

Johnson Tiles ‘William Morris’
2025 is set to see textiles play a leading role in design, with patterns and materials inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement stealing the spotlight. Decorative fabrics with intricate florals, timeless stripes, and tactile weaves are becoming key elements, adding softness and charm to interiors.
Whether through upholstered statement furniture or layered throws and cushions, collections like Johnson Tiles' 'William Morris' add a touch of heritage and craftsmanship to modern spaces.
Tektura 'Edo'
In contrast to the pristine minimalism of recent years, 2025 celebrates the beauty of imperfection. Interiors are shifting towards a more organic, lived-in look that feels personal and layered. Vintage furniture, weathered finishes, and handmade ceramics add character, while the philosophy of wabi-sabi encourages designers to embrace flaws as part of a space’s charm. From a crackled glaze to slightly uneven, textured surfaces, it’s all about creating interiors that tell a story, where every small detail feels intentional.

Kronospan ‘Dark Emerald’
With home working here to stay, offices are transforming into dramatic, design-driven spaces that inspire productivity and creativity. Rich, moody tones like deep navy, forest green, and charcoal are being paired with luxurious materials such as velvet, leather, and brushed metal to create a sophisticated yet functional environment. Statement lighting and carefully curated artwork add personality and flair, ensuring these spaces are as visually inspiring as they are practical. Multifunctionality is still a priority, with desks that double as storage solutions or adaptable furniture pieces that cater to modern lifestyles.

Johnson Tiles ‘Roker’
Nostalgia continues to influence interiors, with vintage styles making a strong comeback in 2025. Victorian-inspired bathrooms, complete with colourful geometric tiles and elegant brass fixtures, are becoming a popular choice, blending old-world charm with contemporary functionality. Beyond bathrooms, mid-century modern furniture is also enjoying a resurgence, particularly in lighting and seating designs.
By incorporating vintage ranges, much like Johnson Tiles' 'Roker' collection, designers can add depth, character, and history to modern spaces.
