In 2025, we’ll continue to see an increased focus on healthy living and wellbeing that will influence our home design preferences as well. Natural wood furniture in particular will play a large role in 2025, due to its uncompromised beauty that highlights the wood’s unique characteristics and natural grain. When choosing upholstery for your pieces, you can also bet on natural textiles and fibers like organic cotton, wool, and Belgian linen for a more authentic and sustainable aesthetic. Handcrafted wool rugs are an easy way to bring a sense of warmth and texture to your style, and be sure to keep an eye out for other natural materials like stone in the upcoming year’s style guides too.

When furniture or home accent pieces are handmade, they immediately offer a more personal and unique design element to your space. Every individual piece of handcrafted wood furniture, for example, carries a story passed down from the workshop partner and artisans who crafted each carefully-placed joint, and thoughtfully-sanded line. We love this trend for 2025, because it encourages everyone to customize and personalize their design choices in ways that best suit the needs of their own spaces. If you’re interested in exploring how you can better customize your handcrafted pieces, from upholstery to finishes, don’t hesitate to reach out to our design experts for a complimentary consultation.

We’re thrilled to say that in 2025, we’ll be seeing even more of an emphasis on sustainable, heirloom quality furniture that’s built to stand the test of time. Look for ways to invest in expertly crafted pieces made from responsibly sourced and organic materials, like the Inside Green Collection from Cisco Home. Sustainably built furniture is not only designed with a more mindful, slow-living approach that’s better for the environment, but it’s also much more likely to last for generations, instead of just a few years. Another key benefit of incorporating “slow-living” design choices into your everyday style is that they can embolden a more peaceful, purpose-forward, and joy-filled feeling for your home– what’s not to like about that?

2025 looks to be a year more focused on the softer side of life, from slightly curved furniture corners to more rounded and organic shapes. This trend seems to double down on the need for more tranquility in the spaces we call home, and may even be a great way to infuse more peace and calm into your life too. Our interior design experts recommend choosing furniture that showcases a softer edge and leans into gently curved elements with ease and grace.

Speaking of curved lines, our next interior design trend for the new year is a genuine enthusiasm for more vintage-inspired furniture and retro decor. Look for fresh, modern takes on these older styles to add an eclectic sense of elegance and fun to any room in your home. We love the bold patterns and romantic silhouettes from Cisco Home’s collaboration with John Derian, which not only feel unique and effortlessly timeless, but also happen to be sustainably made too. If your style leans more mid-century modern, you might also explore the iconic pieces from Thayer Coggin, whose memorable 1950’s furniture designs are still considered a pillar of modern aesthetic even today.

The smart and clean simplicity of Scandinavian design is not going anywhere in 2025! By focusing on the combination of function and beauty, this classic style will still lend itself seamlessly to a more elevated design look and feel next year. Known for a cozy aesthetic that’s both practical and innovative, Scandinavian style furniture can also offer an ideal opportunity to maximize the use of any space through multi-functional design elements like stylish sleeper sofas, extension dining tables, and modern recliners.

While it can be easy to focus on things like color palettes and design elements when shopping for new furniture, 2025 is going to inspire a more comfort-forward approach to the ways we curate our surroundings. Consider the experience of sinking into a deep-seat sofa that really lets you settle in with a good book or movie for a few hours. Maybe you prefer the low-key versatility of a modular sofa, whose various layout configurations give you endless options to grow and change in comfort and style. Whichever sofa feels like your perfect fit, don’t be afraid to design the rest of your living space around it– from coffee tables to accent chairs and end tables, feel free to make your home a refuge from the outside world, and a comfort-first haven for daily life.
