10 interior design trends for 2025
UPCYCLING ♻️
UPCYCLING ♻️ is the practice of repurposing discarded or unused items to create new and often more valuable products.
As sustainability takes center stage in consumer consciousness, upcycling aligns seamlessly with the ethos of reducing waste and promoting environmental responsibility. Plus, upcycled pieces are totally unique and tell a story – #upcycling from a niche to mainstream habit.
📌 MO de Movimiento by studio Munoz is a Madrid restaurant entirely designed upon principles of circular design. Re-cycling, up-cycling or, simply, properly using the right materials for the right purposes, have been consciously defined for each intervention. There is a respect to the life cycle of each material that composes those elements, and this has been the bottom line from where to create the project. Hence, all elements are conceived for a life cycle that includes maintenance and repair in their design, as well as takes decay and degradation as elements and variables into the design process

Design with PLASTIC WASTE
🌊 There is an estimated 75 to 199 million tons of plastic waste currently in our oceans, with a further 33 billion pounds of plastic entering the marine environment every single year.
♻️ The production of plastic has grown exponentially from 2 million tonnes per year in 1950 to 460 million metric tons in 2019. Up to 50% of all plastics produced each year are made as single-use products.
🐟 It’s hard to know exactly how many marine animals are killed each year due to plastic pollution – many will go completely unrecorded. That said, some estimate that over 1 million marine animals, including many sea turtles, die each year due to plastic pollution in the ocean.

Design with plastic waste is more than a trend, is a necessity.

ALUMINUM ♻️
◻️Aluminium can be recycled infinitely, to the point that 75% of aluminium produced in 1920 is still in use today.
▫️ Hydro CIRCAL 100R is the world’s first recycled aluminum made entirely from post consumer scrap on an industrial scale.
▫️ In a bid to highlight the remarkable potential of this endlessly recyclable material without compromising quality, Hydro has called a team of seven esteemed designers—Inga Sempé, Max Lamb, Andreas Engesvik, Shane Schneck, Rachel Griffin, John Tree, and Philippe Malouin—to craft a range of objects and furniture pieces, exposed in Milan.

NEW BRUTALISM ⚫️
Born out of the post-war era, Brutalism emerged as a response to the need for functionality, affordability, and durability in architecture. Its name originates from the French term “béton brut,” meaning raw concrete, which serves as the hallmark material of this style.
Brutalist architectures are characterized by their striking geometric forms, exposed concrete surfaces, and minimalistic design elements. They exude a sense of strength, honesty, and authenticity, often embodying the ethos of social progress and public welfare.
NEW BRUTALISM is a celebration of authenticity, functionality, and the beauty of raw materials. It’s about embracing the inherent character of concrete, steel, and glass to create spaces that resonate with power and purpose, and make the best of materials embracing a #nowaste philosophy.

SOFT MINIMALISM ⚪️
⚪️ An evolution of the WARM MINIMALISM theme, SOFT MINIMALISM blends warmth and coziness with minimalism, emphasizing tactile sensations.
⚪️ Focused on simplicity, mindfulness, and traditional craftsmanship, it creates spaces that promote relaxation, wellness, and self-connection.

BURL WOOD 🪵
Burl wood is a rare and expensive wood originating from the knobby outgrowths of tree trunks and branches, known as burls, which develop akin to botanical calluses in response to various stressors.
This creates an intricate and unpredictable grain pattern, very decorative and often associated with the Seventies, when this particular wooden finish became a trend in interiors and decor. Even before, burl wood was once popular during the Art Deco era of the 1920s.
The trend has experienced a remarkable resurgence in recent years.

NATURAL PIGMENTS 🌱
From rich ochres to deep indigos, natural pigments are derived from minerals, plants, and other natural sources, celebrating the beauty and diversity of our planet.

Plus, using natural pigments often results in unique and nuanced colors that cannot be replicated with synthetic dyes.
