Top Interior Design Trends for 2025 (Some of these are shocking...)

[@cookiedais]

Can I also give a special mention to the Tom Ford coffee book trend ? It’s gone on for far too long . I’m SICK of it ! It’s been done to death & pops up everywhere. Enough already .

[@mrphoenixgrey]

I am guilty of having the black, and the white one.... lol! i have them flipped around to just have them as color so you cant see the name haha

[@alexiswinter6948]

I don't know if it's what you're talking about, but buying books just to put things on top of them is really silly.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@@alexiswinter6948 I love the people who shop for books by color... No interest in content, because there's clearly no intent to actually read them.

[@laurenadams6704]

“Books are awfully decorative, don’t you think?” 😂😂

[@Sttz545]

@@alexiswinter6948how is this any different to buying any other decorative items?

[@Cherrysmith2809]

My grandmother had rosebud wallpaper on the ceiling in a guest bedroom and mural wallpaper on the dining room walls (1940s & 50s) and both were gorgeous. Fond memories.

[@mrphoenixgrey]

Wallpaper murals are going to be a big thing i forsee!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

[@MaeriTheAlien]

Colour drenched my bedroom in Benjamin Moore’s Essex Green and I call it my cozy little forest cave because when its dark it’s DARK

[@mistydevillier2197]

We just had our home painted, and they forgot to paint the ceiling. They had to come back!! It's so true that it makes your home cozy and elegant. It looks so good now!

[@Lau3464l]

Those 1x4 tiles are so nostalgic for me! My grandparents bathroom had the floors and lower half of the walls in those tiles in black for my entire childhood and I loved it so much. I’m thrilled to see it’s coming back, I haven’t seen anyone do it since then

[@stephanie1310]

Decorate your home to what makes you happy and that's what matters!

[@hopefully2224]

Interior design is different. People hire us to create a cohesive beautiful space. Most people arent good at doing what we do so the “decorate” using Joanna Gains farmhouse decor. A look thats already very dated.

[@Mijah1016]

I disagree but to each their own.

[@Moving.To.Charleston]

I agree, if it makes you feel good, then it's the "right" design

[@cheesedemon88]

To the Americans, I'm happy on your behalf that you're finally coming around to paneled appliances, it is so worth it. And as more people are buying them, they'll get more affordable, the price difference where I live isn't big at all.

[@Moving.To.Charleston]

I agree, paneled appliances look great!

[@yakiraheyman7307]

It’s nothing new. Our house (in the US) was built in 1990 and all the appliances were paneled. As we replaced dishwashers and SubZero we went with stainless for the change.

[@LSUTigerMom]

The PASSAGEWAY! Brilliant!

[@mrphoenixgrey]

such a great way to spice something up thats so simple

[@travisc7506]

As someone who works in the industry as an Architectural Engineer who specializes in millwork. I can say I'm seeing a lot of bleached woods with a natural finish. Like a matte clear finish. Rift cut bleached walnut is especially popular. It seems like almost every new project calls for bleached walnut. Darker countertops seem to be coming back as well. Black Calacatta is super popular right now. Painted cabinets seem to be going away as well in place of woods in a more traditional style. I'm seeing a lot less contemporary kitchens and a lot more of a traditional/ornate style. Lots of crown moulding especially crown in layers. In a recent kitchen I worked on the cabinets had crown with a bulkhead built above it with more crown attached to the bulkhead and then further up on the ceiling was more crown. It sounds like it would be busy but the final product was actually pretty amazing.

[@stephanielafever7680]

I’ve been excited for your 2025 video. Yay

[@in9725]

love all your videos! you are my new fav person and also funny! love your comments and input! keep going and i ll keep watching:)

[@hopefully2224]

LOVE color washing and the kit kat mosaics!

[@firestick4991]

First, I did the lower cabinets of my kitchen in Behr’s Carbon black in high gloss. This was a year ago. This year, I’ve finally got the courage to extend this color into our open concept living room with a vaulted ceiling. Today, I’m doing the inside of the front door and all the door/window trim, black. Just taking a break to eat and watch this video! It’s already feeling more cohesive. The prior look was color drenched in a masking tape cream color. It felt too wide open. Like a Vegas casino or something. The Carbon is a nice contrast with the cream. The rest of the space has either dark wood or cream furniture. Trying not to have a lot of little things too high contrast to avoid that cluttered feeling! No one likes too many little high contrast things nagging at the eyes!

[@alleyallica]

Luuuv black!

[@dominikakratochvil860]

Love the idea of ceiling in 6:40. Wallpaper on the ceiling with simple molding and LED stripe ❤ I might put the wallpaper, I want in my bedroom, also on livingroom ceiling

[@abbywagman6770]

Cleaning the grout lines on kit Kat tiles seems to be a horror!!

[@JClover2]

That is ALL I could think about while he was mentioning it! 😱

[@The_Smith]

Yes, it's what they want . . . Re: colour drenching, the bedroom in my house was colour drenched when I bought the place, ceiling doors, window trim walls, were all the same colour, unfortunately it was pepto bismal pink . . .great video as usual Phoenix

[@mrphoenixgrey]

oh NO! thats a terrible color to have a room drenched in. thanks for watching

Neutral colors work best for an all color painted enclosure

[@ronperrin4514]

You mentioned color drenching before. When I finished redecorating my kitchen, I used color drenching and was very pleased with the results.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I'm already sick of color drenching. And wallpaper on ceilings is seldom done correctly and is a mess to remove. Unless it's a pressed paper to be painted and give texture, it's almost always a bad move.

[@KM-nj3cm]

Or use a stencil with paint of a different sheen, of same color.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@ Yes! I hadn't thought of that for a ceiling! It's beautiful on walls and would make a stunning ceiling!

[@tinaroberts5858]

Yep. It's ok if you want the room to look like a box. Lol

[@cwilliams7017]

My go to for 40 years. I love it.

[@bel3133]

Would someone need to commit the whole house to color drenching? It looks good in a magazine for one room but I wouldn't know how to make it flow with the rest of the house.

[@dsilva-y2h]

I would like to see this ideas for regular houses or even poorly housing for not bugged people. Not only the rich people deserve a nice house.

[@4seasons546]

Colour drenching is classic my childhood home from the 60s every room was coloured wrenched as you say and I have followed through in most of the rooms or I also love a different turn on the ceiling light light blue plus some ceilings are beamed and I do light blue between the beams which gives the feeling of space height and sky. Also remember a white ceiling can appear to be white but I actually have a hint of pink is very pretty and flattering or yellow like sunshine or blue like the sky another colour drenching is simply do the ceiling the same colour as the walls but the lighter tint not new to me but may be new to some readers. ❤

[@imaresurcher]

before selling im drenching my 60m2 apartment in a warm white, yeh open plan but should get away with it.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

@@imaresurcher That's probably one of the few color drenching that works nearly all the time.

[@LenaMMcKee]

I love, global inspiration, especially if you can make nods to your own heritage to me, It only gets kind of hairy when I see British colonial globalization all I can think about is pain and suffering basically when you see like hints of bamboo in an English drawing room, and you know how that bamboo came to be

[@NancyPecott]

Forget trends. They change. You buy a house. You build a home one piece at a time. Instant design, fill a house with stuff, is never money well spent. Buy quality. Buy unique. Buy something that means something to you. Thrift stores are full of poor consumer choices. I have furniture as old as 1780 and I have new furniture as well. It all works together because it is all beautiful, functional, and well-made. Focus on finding your own style. Build your home. Stop thinking about resell. You live there. You need to love it and feel comfortable. Personally, I am not going to slide back the door to watch tv. Everyone has one. Spend you money on something that's going to transform your life, not complicate it.

[@cvm977]

Some good tips thank you. However the mosaic tiles in bathrooms are a huge no no. Not cleaning friendly.

Trends change. Just buy quality, unique pieces you love. If it doesn't mean something to you or make you appreciate it, don't buy it. It's your home and make it comfortable for you. You buy a house, you build a home. Stop thinking about resell. Buy quality, stop buying junk to fill a room. Thrift stores are full of poor consumer choices. You build a home one piece at a time.

[@vaderladyl]

Are you saying mixing patterns is trendy? That is Interior Decor 101 basic rule. Mixing bold patterns has always being around since Decor has existed so. I am not sure if you really mean the way it is done NOW that is trendy? The trick is knowing how to do it with visual fluidity, precisely. I love a themed room and ethnic, cultural stuff has always been the staple on real, Bohemian look ( not that bastardized version you see on Instagram), and it is seen as decor items, not props.

[@emh8604]

Omg, I need help. When he was talking about color drenching, my mind went "to the windows...to the walls!" 😭 Ya'll prayer for me.

It is one thing to collect African art....it is a whole entire other thing to have a CHAIN to hold the TOILET PAPER?? What in the actual fuck?

[@RocBush]

Never forget

[@ruthbueneman541]

Cultural appropriation?!! Great design uses elements From all different cultures. What is going on when I have to have the correct ancestry to collect African art? Is there a level of blackness I mean whats the ratio that would allow me in my own home to use black Or even african elements in my design? And is a racially pure black woman allowed to decorate her home in a colonial style. Each persons background especially if they are well traveled is influenced by many cultures. What is going on when we are punished for our design choices based upon some Persons notion of what is racist? Art is about good design and freedom to choose and incorporate elements not by their gender or racial background . I am sure you will say oh this woman was censored because why ? What does her skin color have to do with the design Of her house. Personally I grew up in Trinidad. I paint black people. It is part of my history. Freedom of expression is more important for an artist Than air

[@debbie4938]

[@marylowen639]

I'm going to finally say it: color drenching does nothing for me, but remind me of cheap apartments. Just grab any old can of cheap paint. Cover every surface, you don't know. I have to know how to paint. Just slap it on. Yep, cheap apartment paint and a cheap apartment color like that old turquoise. Obviously I'm much older than you, but I'll never get over the cheap apartments style

LEARN THE DEFINITION OF "RACIST"! Supporting artists of foreign countries is NOT racist- IT'S APPRECIATION OF THEIR ART WORKS! Ask the artist who sell their art if they care that only their race buys it. PLEEEEEASSSEEEE My home has been ethnic eclectic for decades. I also have antiques, vintage and family artists works. JUST STOP!

[@mrphoenixgrey]

I see where you are coming from, there is always an appreciation of art regardless of its global presence. The problem is how its displayed. if you saw the video the content creator has hanging chains under the neck of a tribal mask..... Seems pretty coded to me, and the internet even agreed - it was pretty quickly taken down.

[@rebelliousraven]

Racial appropriation is just BS. The chains in that bathroom were wrong because it was just mean and nasty. Anyone in the US (other than a straight white Christian male) could scream racial appropriation. I have friends from many cultures -my African American bestie who braided my hair (traditionally) for my wedding; my Muslim friend who gifted my daughter a beautiful hijab; my native American friend who gave me the gorgeous beaded bracelet I rarely take off or my jewish son in law who hung a lovely mezuza to bless our door. The only people I actually hear throwing this term around are woke white people. The expression and SHARING of different cultures and their elements is what makes America a wonderful place. Tons of routine words, items, practices once "belonged" to another culture. It's time to give this up as the nonsense it is.

[@ruthbueneman541]

@@mrphoenixgreyyou are still talking about censoring someones work based upon Symbolic elements in someones private home. So you are all about censoring abstract elements and symbols when must of the progress made in modern art and interior design is a fusion of disparate elements. You cant police art and you cant police taste.we learn from art it cant be put in a racial box.

Especially about Art. Art is made to create discussion because everyone perceives an artwork differently.
