Top Interior Design Trends for Fall 2025
What’s in, what’s timeless, and how to bring it home
As the seasons shift, so do our spaces. Fall is the perfect time to reset, refresh, and lean into comfort. In 2025, we’re seeing design trends that feel more grounded, textural, and personal than ever before.
At Strand Interiors, we always balance what’s trending with what’s timeless. Here’s our take on the top interior design trends for fall 2025, plus how to make them work beautifully in your home.
1. Warm Minimalism
Clean lines are here to stay, but they’re getting softer and cozier. Think neutral palettes layered with texture, like nubby bouclé, natural wood tones, and matte finishes. This trend leans into calm, livable luxury without sacrificing style.
Pro tip: Swap high-gloss for brushed or honed finishes and introduce warm whites, camel, and soft clay tones to bring a sense of quiet refinement.
2. Moody Color Moments
While earthy neutrals dominate, deeper hues are making their way into accent spaces. Think olive green, deep browns, and rich plum tones.
Pro tip: Want to test the waters? Try a moody grasscloth wallpaper, a painted ceiling, or a velvet accent chair (or even new throw pillows) in a bold tone.
3. Layered Lighting
Oversized pendants, sculptural sconces, and warm ambient lighting are taking center stage. Lighting is not just functional, it is foundational to creating a mood.
Pro tip: Don’t stop at one overhead fixture. Mix pendants, floor lamps, and wall sconces to create a layered, welcoming glow.
4. Artisanal and Handcrafted Details
Mass-produced is taking a back seat. Handmade ceramics, custom millwork, woven textures, and imperfect finishes are having a moment. These elements bring warmth, soul, and a sense of story into your home.
Pro tip: Incorporate handcrafted touches with one-of-a-kind vintage finds, sculptural vases, or bespoke cabinetry details.
5. Laidback Luxury
Forget flashy finishes or overdone spaces. The fall 2025 take on luxury is all about subtle elegance. Think high-quality materials, refined color palettes, and interiors that feel effortlessly elevated.
Pro tip: Invest in fewer but better pieces. Focus on craftsmanship, natural materials, and thoughtful layering for a space that feels both luxurious and livable.
