2025 Interior Design Trends: Designers Predict What's Next

Wallcoverings To Up The Drama

Frequently called one of the world’s most livable cities, Toronto ranks high on lists of the most desirable cities for many reasons. Not only is it one of the most walkable cities in Canada, it’s also one of the safest, despite having a population consisting of millions of people. If you’re looking for a new neighbourhood to discover, for a visit or for a forever home, your personal safety and the safety of your loved ones is a high priority. These areas have been ranked as some of the most secure neighbourhoods in Toronto, making them a great place to start looking when deciding where to reside.

More Maximalist Design

"Mallory Mathison Inc. is known for color, maximalism and our use of incorporating both antiques and contemporary elements. We think these elements will continue to define design in 2025 as homeowners seek to add warmth and character to their homes through color, patterns, and layers that include both large statements and small details."

Personalized Spaces

"I hope to see a return to individuality: good design really is personal design, at its core. After a decade of algorithmic driven singularity, I think people are really appreciating the idiosyncrasies of truly customized design. We’ve received more and more client inquiries lately that are primarily focused on ensuring that we will design bespoke residences highly curated to the homeowners and their tastes and interests, versus integrating any one look or trend. This may look contemporary in nature to one client, and resemble traditional Americana to another, but at its core, it’s about designers really listening to who their clients are and honoring that essence in unique and creative ways."

Grounded, Lived-In Spaces

"In 2025, we expect clients to continue leaning into color choices that feel personal and resonate emotionally, prioritizing hues that make their spaces feel inviting and grounded. While individual preferences will always take precedence, we’re seeing a growing comfort with warm, moody tones—a fresh take on the earthy palettes that gained popularity in the 1990s. This updated version feels softer and more organic, incorporating rich terracotta, muted ochre, deep olive green, and warm browns balanced with creamy neutrals and soft blush undertones."

Playing With Color

"I'm excited to have more and more clients wanting to experiment with color in their homes. I'm seeing a lot of muted, cool tones like dusty blue being used, along with the rise of deep, earthy tones for a bolder look."

New Twists On Old Techniques

"Limewash paints and plasters have been celebrated for their soft, textured finish, but for 2025, we’ll see this technique take a dramatic turn. Think deep aubergine, smoky graphite, or even saturated green tones—rich, tactile walls that feel like art in themselves. This twist on the trend is perfect for creating bolder, atmospheric interiors. The mix of natural, organic finishes with bold, modern colors adds an unexpected elegance. It’s perfect for clients wanting timeless character without sacrificing drama. This trend will inspire a resurgence in traditional craftsmanship, with plaster artisans taking center stage in luxury design."

Au Naturale

"One trend I think we will be seeing more of in 2025 is the use of bold natural stones. From bathrooms to kitchens to furniture, people are embracing the natural patterns and colors that can be found in nature."

Earthy Neutrals

"Clients are likely to be drawn to palettes inspired by Pantone's Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse. Described as 'sophisticated with an earthy elegance,' this warm neutral offers both depth and versatility. It complements a range of design styles, from minimalist to more intricate and detailed aesthetics."
