Trending Materials for 2025
As we move into 2025, several materials are emerging as key trends in interior design. These materials not only enhance aesthetics but also reflect a growing focus on sustainability and functionality.
1. Brown Accents
In 2025, the colour brown will continue to trend in interior design, reflecting a shift towards warmer, earthier tones that evoke a sense of comfort and stability. This versatile hue, ranging from rich chocolate to soft taupe, offers a timeless appeal that harmonizes well with a variety of textures and materials. As homeowners seek to create inviting spaces that promote wellbeing, brown can be seamlessly integrated through furnishings, wall colours, or accent pieces. Its ability to ground a room while allowing other colours to shine will make it a favourite choice for creating balanced, serene environments in the coming year.

3. Large Format Stone Surfaces
Large format slabs - whether natural stone surfaces, such as quartzite and granite, or the increasingly popular porcelain, are continuing to trend in 2025. Their durability and timeless appeal make them ideal for countertops, flooring, and backsplashes, providing a sophisticated and dramatic touch to various settings as well as providing a cleaner look with fewer grout lines - and considerable visual impact.
4. Dimensional Tiles
3D dimensional tiles are poised to become a trending material due to their ability to add depth and texture to spaces, enhancing visual interest without overwhelming the aesthetic. These tiles create striking focal points, whether used in backsplashes, accent walls, or flooring. The versatility in design—from geometric patterns to organic shapes—allows designers to experiment with light and shadows, creating dynamic environments.
