Personality Is Back: Ditching Minimalism In 2025

HOW 2025 INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS ARE REDEFINING INTERIOR SPACES

For years, minimalism dominated interior design. Its clean lines, neutral palettes, and clutter-free aesthetic were everywhere. However, as we step 2025 interior design trends brings a fresh wave of trends is reshaping our approach to interior spaces. Homeowners are embracing bold colors, playful patterns, and curated personal touches. This marks a return to personality-driven design. At LINEN + ORCHID, we are excited to help clients create spaces that radiate individuality while maintaining harmony and elegance.

Bold Colors Take Center Stage in 2025 Interior Design

Color is making a bold comeback this year. We are moving beyond merely using accent walls or subtle pops of color. Rich jewel tones like emerald green, burgundy red, and deep aubergine are being paired with earthy shades. Think terracotta, chocolate brown, and sand beige. These vibrant hues evoke warmth, energy, and artistic flair in any room.

For example, in a recent project in Raleigh, we transformed a kitchen by introducing a stunning emerald green Bertazzoni range. This was complemented by white and walnut cabinetry and antique bronze hardware. This jewel-toned focal point gave the room a timeless yet personalized look.

Playful Patterns for Expressive Interiors

Patterns are making a splash in 2025. They are appearing on wallpapers, rugs, upholstery, and more. From geometric shapes to vintage-inspired motifs and organic prints, patterns are a fantastic way to inject personality into your space.

Consider one of our projects in North Hills. We reimagined a dining room using abstract mural wallpaper paired with a geometric area rug. To balance the boldness, we chose neutral-toned furniture. This ensured that the patterns didn’t overwhelm the space, resulting in a lively yet cohesive look.

2025 Trends Spotlight: Embellishments and Sophistication

Embellishments like plaid textures, tassels, and French Provincial accents are adding charm and depth to interiors this year. Thoughtful details like these bring dimension and personality, making spaces feel more refined and inviting.

In a current primary bedroom project, we used striped rattan-textured wallpaper. Additionally, we chose a custom-upholstered bed featuring French Provincial fabric. The result is a tranquil, elegant retreat. Sculptural lighting and tasseled curtain tiebacks added layers of sophistication.

Curated Personal Touches: Telling Your Story Through Design

This year, we focus on creating spaces that reflect your unique story. Personal mementos, heirlooms, and meaningful art pieces are becoming centerpieces in our designs. They bring depth and warmth to homes.

Layering Trends with a Neutral Base

If you’re drawn to minimalism but want to explore 2025’s vibrant trends, layering is the perfect technique. Start with a neutral base. Think clean-lined cream sofas or soft beige walls. Then, add bold accents like patterned rugs, jewel-toned armchairs, or colorful lampshades.

In our Weston kitchen project, we began with soft beige walls and warm wood tones. Smoky glass pendant lights, veined porcelain countertops, and plush blue velvet bar stools added personality without disrupting the serene foundation.

Pro Tip: A neutral base provides flexibility. You can swap bold accents seasonally, keeping your space fresh and timeless.
