2025 Design Trends We're Loving

As we bid farewell to summer and prepare for the cozy days of winter, it’s the perfect time to reflect on where we’ve been and where the design world is heading. For 2025, Laidback Lee Design is embracing a sense of fun, creativity, and boldness in our approach to interiors. From deep greens to whimsical embellishments, and coastal charm to romantic curves, here’s our take on the trends that will define the year ahead.

Romantic Silhouettes

The idea of “romanticising your life” is now inspiring interior design in beautiful ways. Romantic silhouettes, with their soft curves and gentle lines, are making their mark across various styles—modern, coastal, cottage, and more. This trend evokes a sense of understated luxury and celebrates the little joys, like a dreamy coffee nook or a sunlit reading corner. For 2025, we’re channeling this softness into spaces that feel as comforting as they are refined.

Saturated Colours

Rich, bold hues are taking center stage, and we couldn’t be more excited. Deep forest greens, warm chocolate browns, and dramatic reds—think oxblood and merlot—are breathing new life into interiors. Full-room colour drenching, where these jewel-toned shades envelope the space for a cohesive and impactful look. Don't shy away from boldness; 2025 is the year to embrace it.

Seasonal Surprises

Incorporating the unexpected is another trend we’re loving—using colour and design to echo the seasons in subtle, creative ways. For summer, imagine darker floral pillows adding depth, while winter invites softer, lighter tones like sage and cream. This approach brings an evolving freshness to spaces throughout the year.

Pattern-Drenching

Bold and playful, pattern-drenching is all about layering prints and patterns in a way that feels curated yet exciting. At Laidback Lee Design, we’re embracing this trend by incorporating statement pieces, from floral-upholstered furniture to patterned wallpaper, creating spaces full of personality and charm.

Embellishments

Details are everything. From countertop edges with sculptural profiles to furniture adorned with fringe, tassels, or scalloped finishes, embellishments are making a strong comeback. These thoughtful additions turn everyday elements into works of art, infusing homes with a sense of craftsmanship and individuality.

Colour-Blocking

Borrowed from the fashion world, colour-blocking is finding its way into interiors with bold, creative results. Painting walls, ceilings, or cabinetry in contrasting hues is a striking way to define spaces and create visual intrigue. It’s a trend we’re excited to explore in new and unexpected ways this year.

Inspired by the Sea

Coastal interiors are evolving from their familiar nautical stripes and rattan into something richer and more timeless. Elements like seashells, fishing nets, and vintage maritime objects are taking center stage, nodding to seaside living in a way that feels classic yet fresh. This understated Americana vibe is perfect for creating serene, storied spaces.

As we look ahead to 2025, Laidback Lee Design is thrilled to embrace these trends and weave them into our projects. Here’s to a year of bold creativity, thoughtful details, and inspiring interiors!
