Compliments of Gilbert Design
With each new season comes new trends, styles, movements, innovations, and insights, no matter the industry. But in our industry, all of that newness results in gorgeous, inspired, cutting-edge interiors and so much more. We can’t wait for you to see what we are seeing, and we’re eagerly waiting to embrace these new trends alongside you as we work together in the new year.
Trend #1 MINIMALIST MAXIMALISM
This trend is all about combining the clean lines and simplicity of minimalism with bold statement pieces that add a touch of maximalism. Envision a living room with sleek, modern furniture accentuated by a vibrant, oversized painting or a unique sculptural piece. It's the perfect harmony of both worlds. The secret lies in balance, ensuring your space feels open and airy while showcasing your personality through standout items. When you choose your minimalist pieces, you can just opt for neutral tones and clean lines. Think of items like a simple white sofa or a glass coffee table. These pieces will create a calm, uncluttered backdrop that allows your maximalist accents to shine genuinely.

Trend #2 BIOPHILIC DESIGN AND MATERIALS
In 2025, bringing nature indoors will be more critical than ever. Think natural materials like wood, stone and even living plants integrated into your home's design. Biophilic design isn't just about aesthetics; it's also about well-being. Studies have shown that incorporating natural elements into our living spaces can reduce stress and improve overall happiness. So embracing nature is the way to go whether it's a lush green wall in your living room or a wooden countertop in your kitchen To deepen our connection with nature, consider incorporating large windows or skylights to let in plenty of natural light. This will enhance the visual appeal of your space and bring health benefits associated with natural sunlight. Additionally using natural materials should extend to the minor details. Think wooden frames, stone coasters or a water feature that adds a soothing auditory element to your space. These small touches come together to create a holistic, natured-inspired environment.

Trend #3 SENSORY EXPERENCES
Something that will truly engage your senses, haptic materials and multifaceted lighting. In 2025 interior design is going beyond just visual appeal. It's about how spaces feel and interact with us. It's hard to ignore the growing popularity of haptic materials like textured wallpapers, tactile fabrics, and interactive surfaces. These innovative materials are not just a trend, but a significant shift in the design and the technology landscape. These materials and surfaces have the potential to revolutionize design and technology. Consider using a haptic material for your backsplash in the kitchen, where people often gather and touch surfaces. Imagine a world where your office desk can transform into a touchscreen interface. The possibilities are endless and inspiring.
