Classic Elegance
Classic elegance is the first of the interior design trends for 2025 that Fishburne identifies. “This timeless trend emphasizes high-quality, classic decor that feels like a lasting investment and will transcend time,” Fishburne begins. She explains that classic elegance focuses on personal style rather than rapidly changing trends. Homeowners who embrace this often opt for “pieces that reflect their taste by modernizing artisanal and handcrafted pieces with a new color or finish.”
She also notes that “formal dining rooms are making a comeback, aligning with the rise of broken floor plans and the desire for spaces dedicated to family connection.”
If you want to embrace this in your home, Fishburne recommends opting for “warmer, bolder colors that balance the minimalism of the 2010s, or try color drenching – a monochromatic approach.” She also suggests “rich textures, tactile fabrics and durable materials like warm or dark complex stones mixed with wood finishes complete the look, growing more beautiful with time.”

Modern Embrace
If a return to classic elegance chafes you, but you do like some of the more timeless elements, you may want to opt for the modern embrace. Fishburne describes it as a trend “grounded in familiarity and timeless details like herringbone floors, thicker trim and wall paneling” but also notes that it is “shifting toward a softer, more approachable aesthetic.”
To emulate this 2025 interior design trend, think natural and fluid. Fishburne suggests “organic shapes, soft curves and mixing and matching globally inspired decor, textiles and furniture.” Homeowners can also incorporate hints of luxury by opting for “elevated textiles, live greenery and opulent yet cozy elements.”
When it comes to color palettes, she says to opt for nature-inspired colors: “Warm browns, complex whites, terra cottas and olive greens.” When in doubt, circle back to “artisanal furniture and decor that emphasizes natural and original architecture” because this style can “add depth and character to a modern yet inviting home.”

Cozy Cottage
Next on the list of upcoming interior design trends for 2025 is a cozy cottage feel. According to Fishburne, this is a trend that “reimagines traditional farmhouse and cottage aesthetics with a fresh, classic approach that prioritizes comfort, casualness, warmth, ambience and a touch of luxury.”
She says this trend is gaining traction because “homeowners are moving away from industrial and minimal styles.” In their place, they are instead looking “toward unique, hand-crafted designs inspired by Shaker, prairie and country influences.”
To incorporate this into your home, Fishburne recommends opting for “natural fibers, applied molding, brick and stone and real plants” in order to “create an inviting, lived-in feel.” To help these touches blend seamlessly between old and new influences, try to include “prints and patterns like florals, bold stripes and updated geometrics.”
In short, “design is layered, displaying collectibles that add character to the home,” and “the palette blends soft, atmospheric hues with grounding natural tones.”

Vintage Deluxe
The final interior design trend Fishburne identifies is vintage deluxe. “This trend balances opulence with timeless elegance, appealing to consumers who value investments that feel special while staying in vogue for years to come.”
Like some of the other trends on this list that foil today’s hot ideas, vintage deluxe represents a shift “away from extreme maximalism.” Rather, this trend “embraces Quiet Luxury—classic, understated designs that nod to the past while looking to the future.”
To bring a vintage deluxe feel into your home, consider “classic pieces that you can build around and transform over the years.” Fishburne also suggests finding “dark and burl woods, luxurious and rich textiles, subdued patterns, rich complex stones and overscale furniture with traditional shapes that evolve over time.”
This trend sits at the intersection of a few different styles. “Reimagined vintage-inspired fixtures with exposed flathead screws, rivets, knurling, hex bolts and other metal details” set the stage, bringing in “a sense of craftsmanship and character.” These details then pair incredibly well with “softened Art Deco and Neo-classical details.” Here, you should be looking out for “organic pastel or mineral tones, sepia hues, clipped corners, oversized fluting, gentle rounded curves and flowing lines.”
Overall, this blend of styles gives the vintage deluxe trend “a timeless yet approachable sophistication that feels both soothing and refined.”
