Three 2025 Interior Design Trends That Are About to Be Everywhere
Every summer, our team heads to Las Vegas Market which is one of the largest trade shows for home furnishings and décor in the U.S. It’s our chance to preview new collections, discover emerging styles, and connect with the vendors we trust to bring our clients’ homes to life.
Why does this matter? Because markets like this set the tone for what you’ll see trickling into retail stores, magazines, and (eventually) your favorite Pinterest boards. By attending, we’re able to stay ahead of the curve and make sure the spaces we design for our clients feel both timeless and fresh.
This year, three standout trends kept showing up again and again across furniture, finishes, and accessories.
If you’re planning a renovation or just looking for inspiration to refresh your home, here are the looks we believe are about to be everywhere:
#1 Burlwood:
This rich, swirly wood grain is having a major resurgence, and we’re not mad about it. Burlwood instantly adds depth and texture to a space, making even small accent pieces feel like works of art.
What makes burlwood unique is its organic, one-of-a-kind patterning. Unlike uniform wood grains, burlwood comes from irregular growths in a tree, which means no two pieces ever look alike. That natural variation gives every item a sense of artistry and rarity.
Burlwood has long been associated with vintage and heirloom furniture, but today’s designs are giving it a modern twist. Think sleek silhouettes, simple hardware, and clean lines that balance out the bold pattern. It’s this mix of old-world craftsmanship and modern design that makes burlwood feel both timeless and on-trend.
If you’re not ready to commit to a large piece, try incorporating it through accents:
A burlwood side table in a living room
A console in an entryway for instant character
Decorative boxes, trays, or picture frames for a subtle touch
The effect is always the same, a collected, high-end look that brings warmth, texture, and interest to your home without feeling overdone.
#2 Chocolate Brown
After years of cool grays dominating the design world, warm neutrals are officially back and chocolate brown is leading the charge. This deep, cozy shade has a timeless elegance that instantly grounds a space and creates warmth without overwhelming.
What makes chocolate brown so versatile is its ability to shift moods depending on how it’s styled. In rich velvets or moody wall paint, it feels dramatic and luxurious. In natural leathers or wood stains, it brings an earthy, organic calm. The tone itself bridges both sophistication and comfort which is why we’re seeing it everywhere right now, from cabinetry to upholstery.
Another reason we love chocolate brown? It’s a fantastic anchor color. Where black can sometimes feel stark and heavy, brown achieves the same grounding effect but with added softness. It plays well with creamy whites, soft grays, and muted pastels, while also pairing perfectly with bold accents like emerald green, mustard, or even cobalt blue.
Here are a few ways to bring it into your home:
Upholstery: A chocolate velvet sofa (pictured) adds instant drama while still feeling inviting.
Cabinetry: Rich brown kitchen or bathroom cabinets can modernize a space without leaning trendy.
Accessories: Throw pillows, rugs, or leather accents in brown add warmth in subtle ways.
Paint: A deep brown accent wall makes a room feel cozy and enveloping, especially in a library, bedroom, or dining space.
Chocolate brown’s resurgence is no surprise because the hue is luxe, versatile, and timeless. Unlike the gray’s of the 2010’s, which often felt cold, brown brings the sense of comfort and stability we’re craving in our homes right now.
#3 Chrome
Move over brass, 2025 is shaping up to be the year of chrome. While warm metals have dominated interiors for the past decade, chrome is making a bold comeback, and we spotted it everywhere at market: lighting, furniture legs, hardware, statement accent tables.
What’s exciting about chrome is its fresh, unexpected energy. Where brass feels warm and traditional now, chrome reads cool, crisp, and distinctly modern. It has a reflective quality that bounces light around a space, instantly making interiors feel brighter and sharper. Done right, chrome evokes that ‘70s modern revival (sleek, glamorous, and a little bit daring) without feeling dated.
The key to working with chrome today is balance. Pair it with natural materials (wood, stone, leather) to keep it grounded, or layer it against rich, saturated colors like chocolate brown, burgundy, or forest green for contrast. In smaller doses, a lamp base, cabinet pulls, or a side table, it feels like a subtle update. In larger applications it can become a bold design statement.
Here are a few easy ways to introduce chrome into your home:
Lighting: A chrome pendant or floor lamp adds instant polish without feeling heavy.
Furniture Details: Swap in chrome legs or hardware for an unexpected twist.
Accent Tables: A chrome side or coffee table can act as both functional and sculptural.
Mix & Match: Don’t be afraid to combine chrome with brass or black metals for a layered, collected look.
Chrome is sleek, versatile, and a little edgy - exactly what interiors are craving after years of warm, safe finishes.
Markets like Las Vegas give us a glimpse of the future of interiors, and this year’s trends prove one thing: design is moving toward warm, textural, and bold. Whether you’re drawn to the organic beauty of burlwood, the rich coziness of chocolate brown, or the sleek edge of chrome, each of these elements can instantly elevate your home.
