Photo Credit: MytourWith 2025 around the corner, you're probably wondering how to refresh your home to match the upcoming trends. As an interior designer and home shopping editor, it's my job to stay on top of home decor developments. For the year ahead, there are three key trends to note: the rise of warm, inviting brown hues, whimsical lighting, and an embrace of bold, mixed patterns for a more maximalist aesthetic.
A quick note: While I keep up with trends as part of my profession, my main goal is to design spaces that truly reflect my clients' personalities. Trends come and go, and you shouldn't feel the need to jump on every one. However, when a trend resonates with you, feel free to embrace it—and don't be afraid to hold onto it even beyond its supposed peak. If you love the pieces in your home, whether trendy or timeless, and decorate with intention, your space will always feel stylish.

Trend 1: Cozy Brown Color Palette
Horimote Home Teddy Brown Chunky Knit Throw
AmazonIf you follow Pantone’s annual Color of the Year announcement (this year’s shade is Mocha Mousse), this trend shouldn’t surprise you. Gray has officially become a thing of the past, and we’re embracing warmer, more luxurious brown hues. No need to repaint your walls, though—this teddy brown chunky knit throw blanket is a simple way to bring the color into your home without making big changes or breaking the bank.
You can refresh your dining room with these stunning boucle dining chairs, adding modern flair with a cozy vibe. Plus, area rugs have the power to set the tone for a room, and this multicolor rug allows rich brown tones to take center stage—plus, it’s machine washable.

AmazonTrend 2: Playful and Whimsical Lighting
Eoeyyoyb Squiggle Table Lamp
AmazonI've always been drawn to lighting that exudes personality, whether through patterns, vibrant colors, or shapes. As someone who spends considerable time on home decor TikTok, I've loved watching maximalism—and whimsical lighting—become the dominant trend. Flower-shaped lamps, in particular, have been popping up more frequently in home decor stores, and if you haven't embraced this trend yet, 2025 is the perfect time to start.
The squiggle table lamp above offers a more subtle take in gold if you're just dipping your toes into the trend, but you can also go all out with the bright, candy-colored alternatives. Below, you'll find some vintage-inspired styles making a comeback, like the flowerpot-style lamp in nine fun colors, perfect for a mid-century-inspired room. And if you're not into the floral look, check out this set of two modern face-shaped lamps. (Bonus: The brown shade option lets you incorporate two of this year's key trends.)

AmazonTrend 3: Bold Pattern Mixing
Pandicorn Block Print Throw Pillow Covers
AmazonPattern mixing has always been a staple in interior design, but with maximalism taking center stage, you're increasingly going to see spaces blending bold and seemingly contradictory patterns. The secret to pulling off this trend? A carefully selected color scheme that ties everything together smoothly. Take these product choices, for example – their green, yellow, and white color palette allows them to complement each other beautifully within one room.
I'm especially drawn to the block print design on the pillow covers shown above. When paired with a modern, on-trend checkerboard blanket, they definitely make a bold statement. Add the golden yellow bird-pattern peel-and-stick wallpaper on the walls, and you've got a pattern-rich space that exudes style. Individually, these items shine, but together they’re absolutely stunning and spot-on for 2025’s trends.
