The main trend is massive individualization. Design is not for everyone, but for everyone. Designers reflect on an eclectic interior – a mix of styles and stylistics best expresses the personality and its passions. The 2025 call sounds like this: ignore the trends, personalize the interior and show your emotions!
Developers around the world are reducing the average area of apartments, urban dwellings are becoming more compact. The minds of designers occupy everything that will help the modern nomad to fit on a small number of meters, without losing in comfort: modular sofas, folding tables, folding beds and hidden kitchens.
Technological innovations are becoming especially acute: multifunctional devices, home robots, home appliances with Internet access. Ceiling lights, kettles and refrigerators are controlled from a smartphone. Kitchens in modern homes are reminiscent of professional sites chefs – both the level of technology and the quality of dishes prepared on them.
A new generation of design enthusiasts has buried the fake industrial chic and loft style, the dubious urban country and the brilliant hotel glamor. Finally, beige interiors are gone, giving way to color and ornament. A rational Danish design is at the peak of its popularity in Europe, but Italian maximalism is pushing it.
The concept of “decorated interior” is rapidly going out of fashion. People want to be designers themselves. The idea of a stylized, deliberately decorated interior with “competently” arranged still lifes seems outdated.
In 2024, fashion design teams such as Dimorestudio, Peter Pilotto or LaDoubleJ introduced us to unforgettably extravagant interiors. Contrasting prints and ornaments, a powerful mix of different styles and times, the return of the 80s is a departure from minimalism inspired by the Scandinavians that has dominated in recent years. Maximalism has not yet gained strength at the consumer level, but soon it will happen. Consumers want to express themselves, and maximalism (sometimes on the verge of kitsch) allows them to do so. “The consumer no longer wants to be told stories (he tells them himself), he wants to empathize and enjoy the new experience,” said Vincent Gregoire, the NelliRody-style agency. “As the rhythms accelerate, we mix the concepts of good and bad taste, high and low brands, liberating imagination.”

The last century is quoted, reprinted and becoming more and more expensive. The fashion for post-war modernism – “modernism with a human face” is not going to leave us in 2025. Furniture has become much more rounded and feminine, and things in the spirit of the 30-50s are boldly combined with later quotes from the bourgeois-bohemian 70s and the radical 80s. Miuccia Prada exhibits Brazilian modernist armchairs in Miami, anti-design Memphis begins to recruit new fans For Fendi, Chiara Andreatti worked on the concept of the friendly “Welcome!” Lounge.

19. Cozy home
The hygge trend will continue in 2025. We still have a desire for a simple, relaxed, unobtrusive lifestyle, where the home is our main refuge in a politically troubled, noisy world. Everything that provides comfort, silence and a kind of Digital Detox is appreciated-cocoon chairs, sound-absorbing curtains and cozy soft sofas. The Swedish word Lagom has enriched the hygge trend – it translates as “not to the small and not to much”. Relaxing cool calm spaces are in fashion.

22. Local resources
Today, designers with one click of a computer mouse get access to any resources in the world.
