TREND

FORECASTING

2025

At Laidback Lee Design, we view trends as an organic evolution of aesthetics, blending the timeless with the contemporary. They don't arrive abruptly but develop as nuanced shifts that honor the past, reflect the present, and envision the future.

Staying in tune with these evolving trends is key to creating spaces that resonate deeply, standing the test of time. By understanding these aesthetic directions, we craft designs that are both meaningful and reflective of specific values and aspirations. Trends offer insights into what emotionally and sensorially connects with people, fostering a profound relationship between design and the human experience.

TRENDS REDEFINING THE INDUSTRY

Sustainability in Design:
As we step into a new year, the imperative of sustainability continues to shape the design landscape. It is not a transient trend but a lasting commitment. We see pivotal shifts towards material innovation, the adoption of sustainable technologies, and strategies to minimise waste, all aimed at creating a more responsible and sustainable future.

2. Less is More:

Wellness in design emphasises the creation of spaces that promote mental and physical well-being, transforming homes into serene personal sanctuaries. This design ethos values simplicity, using calming textures, organic materials, and elements that foster a connection to nature. By integrating wellness rituals and thoughtful layouts, we design environments that offer tranquility and refuge, balancing functionality with emotional well-being.

3. Vintage Design with a Modern Twist:

Vintage design embodies nostalgic charm, celebrating the elegance of bygone eras. By reintroducing classic elements with a contemporary flair, we create spaces that are rich in character and history. Whether through antique furniture, updated heirlooms, or retro-inspired accents, this approach brings the allure of the past into the present, resulting in timeless, character-filled interiors.

4. Materials:

Glass and Mirrors: Elevating interiors with light, reflection, and a sense of openness.
Natural Stone: Adding timeless elegance and organic beauty through its raw, earthy appeal.
