Home Trends of 2025: Bold, Retro, and Wonderfully Maximalist

Minimalism has officially taken a backseat, and maximalism is stepping into the spotlight. Forget the less-is-more mantra, 2025 is all about more-is-more. Layers of colour, texture, and statement decor are in. Oversized wall art, gallery-style photo walls, and rich jewel tones like emerald green and sapphire blue are dominating. Want a tip? Balance the chaos with thoughtful curation. Maximalism doesn’t mean messy, it means vibrant and unapologetically you.

Ditch the greige walls because bold patterns are here to turn your home into a masterpiece. From geometric wallpaper to retro floral upholstery, it’s all about making a statement. Layer contrasting patterns to create depth, think striped rugs paired with a bold abstract couch. Even a feature wall with a striking mural or wallpaper can elevate a space without breaking the bank.

If you’ve always wanted to channel Studio 54 or bring a little Miami Vice into your living room, 2025 is your time to shine. Think warm woods, shaggy rugs, chrome accents, and pops of neon. Terrazzo surfaces are also having a moment, alongside glass bricks (yes, they’re back!) chrome furniture, and statement lighting that feels part disco ball, part art installation.

Blurring the lines between indoors and out is a major 2025 trend. Think sliding glass doors, covered patios, and furniture that works both inside and out. Natural elements like stone flooring and lush greenery create a seamless flow, making your home feel larger, airier, and effortlessly in tune with nature.

Straight lines are so 2024. In 2025, arches are everywhere, from doorways to furniture. Curved sofas, circular mirrors, and rounded headboards bring softness to any room. If renovating isn’t on the table, you can still embrace the trend with accessories like arched shelving units or even DIY painted arch wall accents are easy ways to jump on board.

The English kitchen is having a major moment in 2025, and we’re all for it. Think shaker-style cabinets in moody greens or deep blues, big butler sinks, and brass hardware that feels timeless. Add in warm wood, marble countertops, and smart appliances, and you’ve got a space that’s as cosy as it is functional, perfect for everything from your morning cuppa to hosting dinner parties.
