Modern interior design is, first of all, functionality that organizes the space for living, namely the place where it is comfortable to relax, work, and gather with family or friends. But it is also worth considering the visual component, if the basis of the repair, even cosmetic, is the goal of creating a stylish environment.
In this article, we will look at the trends in interior design that will be relevant in 2025.

Minimalism
In fact, the philosophy of minimalism does not imply total asceticism with sterile emptiness. It is, on the contrary, a situation where there is enough of everything and which is backed up by the durability of every item in the house.
Minimalism common on the Scandinavian Peninsula is based on the principle of Sustainability. For example, in Sweden, people choose furniture that can later be completely recycled: in the country, only 0.8% of waste is sent to the landfill, and some enterprises make a profit by recycling solid waste from other countries.
Simple forms, high-quality, environmentally friendly materials, the functionality of things and the balance of combinations are one of the basic characteristics of the concept of minimalism.
Beige And Brown Shades
Beige and brown tones in the house both together and separately look very harmonious. Both of these natural shades are considered classics. Among them, a cream palette, sandy, cappuccino color, as well as walnut, chestnut, elm, ash, oak are often chosen.
The popularity of beige in the interior is supported by several reasons:
- wide range of colors;
- versatility in use: suitable for any room in any style;
- due to its neutrality, this shade is combined with both warm and cold ones;
- light colors visually expand the space, giving it coziness and creating a pleasant homely atmosphere.
Mirror on the doors
If you do not take into account the main function of the mirror, then it is also able to visually expand the space. At the same time, the room will be filled with light, which is reflected from the chandelier or window.
By installing mirrors on walls or cabinets, you will not surprise anyone. Now a new era in interior design is starting, where doors with mirrors are recognized as a fashion trend. Both entrance and interior.
The “Space” collection from Belwooddoors is represented by doors whose frame, leaf frame and trim frame are made of aluminum. In addition, one of the possible types of cladding is a mirror. Due to its design, this model can have a height of up to 3.5 meters, and the doors to the ceiling are also a trend in 2025.
Monochrome
The concept of a monochrome interior should have a base color, the shades of which will become additional elements. Often the choice falls on those palettes that do not lose their relevance over time, for example:
- white;
- milky or beige;
- brown;
- gray;
- black.
Creative natures and lovers of experiments stop at more daring decisions. It is possible that some of them will decorate their apartment in carmine red, which recognized as the color of 2025. Its official name is Viva Magenta. Inspiring and energetic, this shade encourages self-expression without limits, symbolizing cheerfulness. The Institute of Color called it “unusual for an unusual time.”
Black Elements
Of course, an excess of black can “weight” the interior, but elegant accents will almost never be superfluous if they are placed wisely and look stylish.
8 ideas for black elements in the interior of a house or apartment:
- Accessories: figurines, vases, clocks, decorative pillows, etc.
- Furniture or parts thereof: legs of armchairs, chairs, tables.
- Chandeliers, sconces, portable lamps.
- Door fittings: hinges, handles.
- Crockery, kitchen utensils.
- Partitions.
- Plumbing.
- Carpets.
Sometimes only a small detail will be enough: black fittings on a white canvas of an interior door.
Metal or Chrome Parts
There are no boundaries in this trend, since metal elements are found in various places in the apartment. Sometimes this material is used to decorate the fireplace area, and also use it for partitions. However, most often metal or chrome parts can be found in furniture (table legs and frames, shelving supports, parts of armrests of sofas and armchairs), lamps, candlesticks.
Advantages of metal elements in the interior:
- strength and wear resistance;
- the material is not afraid of dust;
- the possibility of recycling.
Choosing the right color for the metal is a challenge, so we recommend starting from the overall style of the space and your feelings. After all, sometimes even the most seemingly incongruous things can look aesthetically pleasing if they are combined within the same interior.
Hi-Tech And Modern
A couple more styles that are popular in 2025 provide competition to minimalism: hi-tech and modern.
| Style | Distinctive features | Colors in the interior |
| High tech | The main feature is practicality and restraint. Due to the bias towards industrial themes in such interiors, special attention is paid to ergonomics, as well as strict clear lines, good lighting, decorative elements mainly made of metal. | Basic: white, gray, black
Optional: yellow, red, green, blue |
| Modern | Smooth shapes without sharp corners, asymmetry, floral motifs, natural materials (mainly wood), paintings, glass souvenirs, massive furniture, including chests of drawers, shelving units and large sofas | Natural shades: beige, brown, pale green, blue, golden, ash pink |
Golden Accents
As with black pieces, gold accents can be placed anywhere from cutlery and mirror bevels to antiques or flooring inlays.
Also pay attention to interior doors from the Flex collection. They will gracefully fit into modern interior design (see photo).
Model “Flex 1” balances between the usual form and industry trends: gold moldings on a perfectly smooth canvas, covered with enamel and decorated with V-shaped milling, give the room a completely different look. It is this color that is associated with optimism, sunlight, and luxury.
Mixing Styles
Making an apartment is a creative process in any case, regardless of whether you turned to a designer for help or act on your own.
The trends in interior design 2025 do not dictate clear rules, giving everyone the opportunity to implement the most daring decisions. So, the usual option is a combination of two traditional styles. Combination examples:
- empire + modern;
- classic + baroque;
- loft + art deco;
- provence + neoclassical;
- modern + french;
- hi-tech + classic;
- Eastern + Western motifs.
In such experiments, experts advise observing the Pareto law: allocate 80% of the space for one style and leave only 20% for another.
