1stDibs, the leading marketplace for extraordinary design, has shared the results of its eighth annual Interior Designer Trends Survey, taken by 643 interior designers worldwide. This latest iteration continues an industry-leading program to seek feedback on design trends, including project types, sourcing, styles, motifs and colors. These insights suggest the top trends for the coming year, as well as those losing appeal and indicate year-over-year shifts.
Here are some of this year’s 2025 trends from its annual designer survey:
Warm chocolate brown stakes its claim as designers’ top choice for the most popular color of 2025. The earthy hue was the top pick for 32% of those surveyed, almost doubling the percentage of designers who favored it in 2023 (17%). Although demand for this color is experiencing a significant spike, interest in dark red and burgundy has also increased, from 7% for 2024 to 20% for 2025. Meanwhile, light blues like Sky and Robin’s-egg have experienced a steady rise to 19% (up from 14% in 2023), indicating an ongoing penchant for soft, calming blues. Light green and sage may have peaked in the predictions for 2024 (26%), but these hues continue to be among the favorites in their color family for 2025 (19%), with emerald green sitting at the top (22%). These color trends reflect a desire for earthy and natural tones.
Vintage furniture and decor are still in high demand, with 81% of designers sourcing products from the 1920s through the 1990s in 2024. Looking at predictions made for 2023, 2024, and 2025, the Art Deco and Bauhaus aesthetics of the 1920s and 1930s continue to gain favor, increasing from 23% for 2023 to 28% for 2025. However, interest in the mid-century modern designs of the 1950s keeps cooling, with just 7% of designers saying those styles are ripe for a comeback in 2025.
Organic patterns and motifs, along with bold and large-scale prints and florals, are expected to remain the favored patterns for 2025, even given the steady decline in both, with bold designs dropping to 15% (from 21% for 2024) and organic patterns dropping to 12% (from 18% for 2024). While some designs, like Moroccan and checks, have faded, animal prints have gained momentum, increasing from 4% for 2024 to 6% for 2025. Additionally, the 2024 design aesthetics most likely to remain popular in 2025 are maximalism (tapped by 33% of designers), eclecticism (33%), and organic modernism (31%).
For their methodology, 1stDibs commissioned researchers with Surveys & Forecasts, LLC, a full-service strategic research consultancy based in South Norwalk, CT, to conduct 643 online interviews between July and August 2024. The interior designers who were interviewed are part of the 1stDibs Trade 1st Program.
