Interior Trends Setting the Tone in 2025

With a new year comes new interior trends set to influence the direction of home design and – as a result – how we live. If the word ‘trend’ feels a little temporary, this doesn’t have to be the case. A trend doesn’t have to be fleeting; rather, it speaks to how a particular style evolves over time.

Danish design is known for elegant functionality but also has a playful side. ‘Playfulism’ taps into the trend landscape of joy-inducing dopamine design, hedonistic refinement, and design as art.

At BoConcept, we are in touch with trends but not governed by them. We believe the most important thing when it comes to your home, is to make it represent who you are and to fit your life. If it’s something you truly love, and have consciously invested in, a good expression of your personal style is something that never goes out of fashion. With that in mind, check out what's going to be big news for homes in 2025.

Plafulism

A design ethos that’s defined by uplifting and unexpected colour combinations, eclectic textures, and anti-structural shapes. For an instant playful hit, consider the power of a curved accent chair in a bold hue, like the Bolzano Swivel that brings with it the added thrill of taking a spin. Exaggerated, sculptural shapes bring artistic flair to a space, like BIG’s Nawabari pouffes, whilst also enhancing social interactions. For super easy playful wins, throw colourful new cushions at your sofa or zone out a new area with a statement rug.

A low 'floating' sofa with a 1970s bohemian feel, the Salamanca sofa is crafted with oversized proportions for serious comfort and retro style.

Retro replay

Get inspired by stars of design from previous decades. Heritage-inspired designs with bold, unexpected details and vibrant colour choices create contemporary products that feel familiar and fresh at the same time.

The 1970s revival gathers pace, but it’s boosted with a forward-thinking approach that takes in how we want to live now. Take the oversized, low-slung shape of the Salamanca sofa that radiates that seventies feel in its shape but also the overwhelming desire to lounge on it. Borrowing from ’60s and ’70s culture, cocktail hour is making a comeback with amped-up cocktail corners facilitated by the likes of the luxe Santiago Sideboard with retro drop-down bar and backlit glass shelves.

The Bellagio sofa offers a tactile experience and makes a big style statement with needed around it to have an impact. One big standout piece with the power to command a room.

Statement minimalism

With this trend, pared-back interiors take a fresh approach with unexpected details, bold functionality, and design flair. Think minimalism that packs an extra style punch. A thoughtful approach to colour and texture underlines this direction with statement shapes and enticing textures coming to the fore.

For something undoubtedly minimalist but with sculptural, organic qualities, “the Tivoli coffee table’s eye-catching design adds a stylish edge to any space,” says Ditlev Jensen. “The boldness lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its ability to transform and elevate the ambience of any space.” This sums up the statement minimalism trend nicely.
