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.”
