Living Room Trends You’re About to See Everywhere in 2025

If you're considering a living room update or simply want to refresh a specific element, like your rug or sofa, you might be curious about the top trends for the upcoming year. As we look toward 2025, interior designers predict a rise in bold colors, personalized decor, abundant patterns, and more to elevate living room spaces.

Curated Touches

Don’t feel pressured to furnish and decorate your living room all at once. Instead, take your time to create a curated space with a layered, collected aesthetic, which will be a key trend in 2025, says Audrey Curl, founder of Audrey Curl Interiors.

"Living rooms are feeling more curated over time with antique pieces and beautiful wood finishes to highlight patina and age," Curl says.

That said, you can still blend contemporary elements with vintage finds. Strive for a balance by incorporating modern art and accessories to keep the space feeling fresh and dynamic.

Richer Color Palettes

Curl predicts a resurgence of strong, vibrant colors in the coming year, with shades like reds and browns leading the way.

"These bolder hues carry over to walls and millwork in vivid jewel tones, creating a sense of respite," she says.

Juliana Ghani, founder of G. Atelier, echoes this sentiment, highlighting browns and burgundies as standout trends for next year. Ghani particularly admires accents like a brown mohair throw, a velvet pillow, or a walnut end table, celebrated for its rich brown tones.

Danielle Davis, founder of 56th Street Design Studio, also notes the rise of bolder-colored area rugs. For those hesitant to commit to fully immersing their space in color, Davis suggests starting with a striking area rug to introduce a vibrant pop without overpowering the room.

Plenty of Patterns

In addition to an influx of rich color, we'll also be seeing lots of bold patterns and pattern mixing in 2025's living rooms.

"In a refreshing change from the pervasive neutral, beige, interiors trends, we are now seeing a liberal use of complementary patterns," Kate Jacobowitz, the founder of Kate Susannah Home, says.

The designer stresses how complementary is key. Textiles should have a common thread running throughout, and pattern sizes should be thoughtful, creating a sense of comfort, she says.

Comfortable Furnishings

Your living room should be a place in which you can curl up and relax, and we will see this take shape in terms of people's furniture choices in 2025, Eilla Pradier, the founder of Eilla Adi Design, says.

"Living room furniture is taking on sculptural, round shapes, as opposed to linear forms we've seen in the past," she says. "Upholstery is leaning in the direction of shearling or mohair for main pieces, drawing in warmth with a casual appeal year-round."

Rozit Arditi, the founder of Arditi Design, agrees that curved details will be big in the living room and will create a sense of flow and ease.

Contrasting Welts

Madeline Hemingway, the founder of Madeline Hemingway Design, is enjoying the resurgence of contrasting welts and trims, which she expects to see more of in 2025 as it pertains to large upholstery pieces and beyond. Hemingway explains how it's a cost-effective way to add personality to a furniture piece or throw pillow.

Ghani echoes similar sentiments and says that this detail will easily elevate contemporary or traditional spaces. Pick an unexpected color that doesn't perfectly match the space to add a playful touch to the collected look.

Mixed Metals

Don't feel as though you need to focus solely on brass or nickel in your living room—2025 is all about combining whatever finishes you'd like.

"Blending metals such as brass and nickel within lighting, fixtures, and decor creates balance without overwhelming the room," Arditi says. "It’s about making every detail count, ensuring that form and function complement each other perfectly."
