Animal Nature

Tigers will show their stripes more than ever in 2025. Designers predict packs of bold aesthetics: 33% say maximalism or eclecticism will dominate, followed by 31% for organic modernism. Animal prints are ticking upwards, too, rising in support to 6% from last year’s 4%. And a jungle of eye-popping styles will join them, with designers taking on colorful painted murals (28%), patterned wallpaper (26%), and wallpapered ceilings (26%).

Flower Power

Interiors will be in full bloom in 2025, as organic patterns and motifs like botanicals remain the most-requested aesthetic. That said, large-scale florals are starting to see a slight dip from last year, with demand dropping six points from 2024 to 15% for 2025.

Classic Glass Lighting

Lighting design has seen a huge shift in recent years, with renewed interest in Tiffany lamps and blown-glass confections. “Another surprise,” says Barzilay-Freund, “is that when asked what iconic lighting style or design will be popular in the coming year, the top choice was Murano glass pendants, garnering a nod from 27% of our respondents (significantly up from last year’s 19%).” Turns out the ancient Italian technique is the bright idea for 2025.

A Good Year for Kitchen Renovations…and Bowling?

Designers expect 2025 to be a big year for kitchens, with up to 61% of homeowners renovating, up from 54% last year. They also anticipate some 45% of clients will request scullery and outdoor kitchen areas. While living spaces have softened from 62% to 51%, there’s been a, well, striking interest in home bowling alleys, with double the number of designers recommending them to clients for 2025.
