As we step into 2025, our Lead Designer, Samantha, shares her home design trends that are set to define interiors this year. From the rich warmth of brown tones to the elegance of classic English patterns and vintage touches, these trends aren’t just about aesthetics—they can also increase your home’s appeal to potential buyers. Thoughtful design choices can make all the difference in creating a space that feels current, inviting, and highly desirable in today’s market.

Whether you’re looking to redesign your space or thinking about selling, integrating these trends can help your home stand out.

Colour Drenching

Samantha’s 2025 Design Pick: Bold, Drenched Colour

This year, interiors are moving beyond accent walls to full colour drenching—applying a single shade across walls, ceilings, and even furniture for a seamless, sophisticated look. Wallpaper drenching follows the same concept, wrapping entire spaces in rich patterns for an immersive effect.

Why it matters for resale: A well-executed, monochromatic space creates a high-impact, designer feel—something buyers notice instantly. Done right, it gives your home a curated, architectural edge.

Samantha’s Tip: Deep greens, warm terracottas, and muted blues work well in both classic and contemporary spaces.

Brown Tones

Our Designer’s Take: The Return of Warmth in Interiors

Cool greys have dominated interiors for years, but 2025 is all about rich, earthy browns—from deep walnut and espresso to softer caramel and taupe. This shift toward natural warmth creates a more inviting, organic feel in any space.

Why it matters for resale: Buyers are drawn to spaces that feel comfortable and timeless. Brown tones add depth and warmth, making homes feel more welcoming and high-end.

Samantha’s Tip: Mix brown tones with natural textures like linen, rattan, and raw wood for a modern yet timeless aesthetic.

Vintage Prints

Samantha’s Favourite Detail: A Layer of History

From classic florals to retro geometrics, vintage prints are making their way back into interiors. Whether in wallpaper, textiles, or framed artwork, these pieces add instant character and depth to modern spaces.

Why it matters for resale: A home that feels layered and well-designed stands out in listing photos and showings. Thoughtful design details create an emotional connection with buyers.

Samantha’s Tip: Pair vintage prints with contemporary furniture to keep the look fresh rather than overly traditional.

How do you feel about vintage patterns—timeless or too nostalgic?

Wood & Coloured Kitchen Cabinets

Samantha’s Prediction: The End of the All-White Kitchen

2025 kitchens are moving toward warmer, more personalized cabinetry. Natural wood grains, deep blues, rich greens, and even earthy reds are replacing stark white. The result? A space that feels more inviting and dynamic.

Why it matters for resale: Buyers are looking for kitchens that feel elevated and thoughtfully designed. A touch of color or natural wood adds personality and warmth, helping your home stand out.

Samantha’s Tip: If you’re hesitant to go all-in, try a two-tone look—wood or color on the lower cabinets, neutral uppers.

Would you move away from an all-white kitchen?

English Country Patterns – Samantha’s Timeless Pick for 2025

Traditional yet effortlessly chic, English country patterns are making a strong return in 2025. Think delicate florals, classic chintz, and intricate toile, adding a sense of warmth and heritage to modern homes. Whether used on wallpaper, upholstery, or drapery, these patterns bring depth, character, and a lived-in elegance.

Why it matters for resale: Buyers are drawn to homes that feel curated and inviting. Layering in timeless patterns—especially in small doses—adds charm and distinction, making your home feel more memorable in a competitive market.

Samantha’s Tip: Balance these vintage-inspired prints with clean lines and neutral tones to keep the look fresh rather than overly traditional.
