This year promises a lot of changes in the world of interior design, and the living room will not be an exception. What colors, shapes, and materials will be in trend? House Beautiful tells what trends in living room design will rule in 2025.
Impressive lighting
Lamps will become not just a functional element, but a key part of the interior. In 2025, living rooms will be decorated with architectural chandeliers, sculptural floor lamps, and stylish wall lamps. Multi-level lighting, combining accent, functional, and decorative light, will allow you to change the atmosphere of the room depending on the time of day.
The play of light and shadows will add depth to the space, creating coziness and dynamics at the same time. It is important to combine lighting fixtures in the right way to emphasize the interior features.

Rounded sofas
Straight shapes are becoming a thing of the past, giving way to smooth, organic silhouettes. Rounded sofas are becoming increasingly popular due to their softness and coziness. They fit perfectly into modern living rooms, adding grace and warmth to the interior.
Such models look especially good in combination with natural materials and natural colors. This is another step towards comfort and a departure from strict minimalist geometry.

Bright maximalism
Simple, monochromatic solutions are giving way to bold colors and multi-layered textures. In 2025, designers recommend not being afraid of rich shades - dark green, purple, and gold.
The combination of different textures, prints, and decorative details will make the interior unique. Maximalism allows you to express your personal style by experimenting with colors, patterns, and unexpected details. Metal accents, deep shades, and vintage elements will look especially impressive.

The return of Art Deco
The elegant style of the 1920s is making a comeback in modern living rooms, adding luxury and sophistication. Art Deco means warm rich colors, geometric patterns, glossy surfaces, and expensive materials.
Chrome lamps, lacquered furniture, and stylish wall panels will become popular elements of the living room. The combination of classics and modernity will help to create a unique interior that exudes elegance. This approach is suitable for those who want to add the charm of bygone eras to their homes.

Comfort comes first
Formal, "ceremonial" living rooms are a thing of the past - now the space should be functional and cozy. Designers advise arranging rooms so that you want to spend time in them every day.
Upholstered furniture, large carpets, comfortable chairs, and pillows create an atmosphere of relaxation. Large sofas are in fashion, where you can sit with a book or receive guests in an informal setting. The main goal is to make the space comfortable and attractive for all family members.

Natural and aged textures
Smooth, glossy surfaces are giving way to natural textures. The trend is for materials with an aged effect: rough stone, patinated brass, and reclaimed wood.
They add authenticity and a sense of history to the space. They make the living room look more alive and full of character. The combination of modern design with such materials creates a harmonious balance between the past and the future.

Expressive furniture
In 2025, the focus will be on furniture that becomes the main accent of the room. Embossed finishes will be especially popular - channel quilting on sofas and armchairs is coming back into fashion.
This trend refers to the classic design solutions of the mid-20th century, combining retro elements with modern style. Expressive silhouettes, interesting materials, and textures will help to make the interior unique. Such furniture is not only comfortable but also adds character to the space.
