This year, interior design trends are all about presence—rooms that feel intentional, artistic, and deeply personal. This year’s design choices are all about bringing elegance and effortlessness into your space, from updating a single room to tackling that full home refresh.
Sweet and Sapp Designs specializes in balance: bold choices, sculptural forms, and effortlessly layered looks. We’re seeing a shift toward high-touch textures, coastal warmth, and spaces that truly reflect who you are.
All that you need is the right styling and a designer’s eye for the unexpected. No overhaul required.
Let’s walk through the most beautiful, luxe-forward interior design trends of 2025, with plenty of Sweet and Sapp perspectives along the way.
Soft Sculptural Furniture
Say goodbye to sharp corners and rigid lines. From rounded sectionals to wave-shaped headboards and circular coffee tables, sculptural furniture designs bring softness and calm to any room.
Curves are a hallmark of contemporary design that favors fluidity over rigidity. Organic silhouettes draw the eye and make a space feel more alive. We love pairing these rounded pieces with textured walls or layered rugs to amplify their presence.
We lean into form as much as function. A curved velvet chair becomes an instant conversation piece. A wavy boucle bench in the entryway sets the tone with personality.
Warm Metallics & Layered Lighting
Lighting is no longer just practical—it’s the jewelry of your home. This year, warm metallics are taking center stage. Think brushed brass, antique gold, and copper accents that bring depth and glow.
But it’s not just about finishes—it’s about how light is used. Mixing metals or clustering lights at varying heights instantly elevates a room, adding an element of quiet luxury that’s refined but not flashy.
We’re talking layered lighting: pendants over kitchen islands, sculptural sconces framing a gallery wall, and low-slung table lamps for moody evenings.
This kind of lighting adds dimension and drama. It also highlights textures—plaster walls, velvet sofas, terracotta tile. Lighting is a styling essential.
Jewel Tones & Earthy Textures
Among 2025’s standout color trends: deep greens, rich rusts, and luxe emeralds. Rich jewel tones pop up everywhere, especially when balanced with natural materials like clay, linen, or stone.
We’re loving this contrast: vibrant accent colors meet earthy materiality. It’s a look that feels confident but not messy. Use jewel tones on statement walls, velvet sofas, or kitchen cabinetry, then tone it down with organic materials, such as natural wood, ceramic, or jute.
Sweet and Sapp Tip:
Style bold—but grounded. Let your bold color lead, but let texture ground it. The result is confident, never chaotic.
Artistic Tile and Bold Backsplashes
Tiles are having a main-character moment. This year’s designs are all about storytelling through pattern, scale, and color.
From checkerboard floors to geometric pattern backsplashes to Zellige-style walls that reflect the light, tiles are going maximalist. Art deco influences are back in a big way, with nods to Miami-modern drama. Try layering in vintage pieces—like a retro light fixture or antique mirror—to complement bold tile with character.
Nervous to go big with bold patterns? Even a small backsplash or tiled niche can deliver a stunning pop of color.
Living Design: Real Plants, Real Impact
There’s no substitute for the real thing. This love of greenery extends from outdoor spaces to indoors. We’re using live plants as design elements, not just accessories.
Think oversized palms, trailing Pothos, even sculptural olive trees in terracotta pots.
These elements not only look stunning, they support mental health, boost air quality, and bring literal life into your space. Pair them with sustainable materials like reclaimed wood or eco-friendly textiles for a design that’s stylish, complementary, and responsible.
This trend is a Sweet and Sapp favorite. Anna, our plant-loving founder and stylist, swears by this design rule. Her client tip? Start with a snake or ZZ plant—they’re chic and beginner-proof.
Personalized Storytelling Through Design
More than ever, people want homes that reflect who they are, not just what’s trendy. That’s why one of our strongest movements is personal storytelling through design.
We treat every interior design project as a collaboration by creating spaces that express values, memories, and moods – key elements of shaping a meaningful space.
Maybe it’s a gallery wall of travel finds, a reading nook styled for weekend rituals, or a custom color palette based on your wardrobe.
Sweet and Sapp Tip:
Craft functional but personalized environments around statement pieces that hold stories special to you. The best spaces feel like portraits of the people who live in them.
