New Living Room Design Trends 2025
New Living Room Design Trends 2025 The shades are getting harder, the combinations are bolder, the technology is smarter and the sofas are lower. Let's see which trends are registered in the 2025 living room interior.
Color block
For a long time, designer interiors were dominated by color neutrality, embodied in light natural tones. Today, more complex shades and their expressive combinations are in the foreground. The palette is still inspired by nature, but it is becoming bolder and richer.
Previously, color contrasts in the interior of the living room were confined to the role of delicate accents, today large-scale work with color is fashionable. More precisely: back in fashion. Color block is not a new design technique, it appeared a hundred years ago during the Bauhaus era and was actively used in the 80s, when bold memphis was in trend.
Blocks of color in a living room can create contrasting geometric shape combinations, as in Mondrian's abstract paintings, but strict geometry is not necessary. In broad terms, a block of color is a large-scale spot of color that can be an accent painted wall or take the form of sofas, rugs, doors, and other dimensional elements.
Earth colors
Consumer and design sentiments this year are in the earth tone range. This rich, natural palette includes a warm reddish hue reminiscent of sun-heated clay, deep dark tones of black earth, and muted beige tones.
Trendy living room interiors aim for a warm colour scheme that encourages optimism and calm. Also on trend are sunny, idyllic and grassy shades – an anti-stress set that will make the living room look like a long picnic trip.
Colorful sofas and armchairs
Monotonous sets are one of the main trends in the modern living room. The composition of the sofa and armchairs now requires contrast, freedom and individuality. A fashionable technique: a combination of a sofa and armchairs of different shapes, colors and textures. It does not have to be all at once.
The key to a harmonious combination of versatile upholstered furniture can be a unifying factor. If you choose a sofa and armchairs in different colors, they will be related to the texture of the upholstery, the overall geometry or the style concept. You can also go the other way: choose objects of different styles and designs and combine them into a harmonious composition thanks to a single color or print.
Combinations without sharp contrasts also look interesting when shades that differ from each other by several tones are chosen for the sofa and armchairs.
However, sofas and armchairs do not have to have anything in common: eclecticism and the most unexpected combinations are welcomed in living room design.
Maximalism and minimalism
This does not mean that minimalism in interior design is a thing of the past, but it is not minimalism alone: in parallel, the completely opposite concept is gaining popularity – maximalism. This trend is clearly visible in the works of foreign designers, who offer a detailed eclectic embodiment of the idea that the interior should be a reflection of the individuality of its owner.
Maximalism, unlike minimalism – a commitment to perfect cleanliness, expensive materials and verified proportions, accepting imperfections, loving vintage and not afraid of anything, is a good platform for self-expression.
Low sofas
Fashionable living room design pays a lot of attention to the height and shape of sofas. One of the most trendy options is a low sofa, which seems to invite you to “get down to earth” and calm down. Most often, such sofas are sectional and can move freely in space, changing their configuration. This solution supports the global interior trend – the versatility of the premises.
The shapes of low sofas can be different, but the most fashionable are round, flowing, referring to the bold interiors of the 70s.
Landscaping
By adopting shapes and colors, you can not only observe nature, but also interact with it directly. Intensive indoor gardening is not a local microtrend, but another global trend that has taken root in apartments all over the world. The reason for this phenomenon is already commonplace: people have begun to spend more time in their living spaces and are trying to make it as anti-stress and close to nature as possible.
In minimalist interiors, indoor plants become lively decor, completely eliminating the need for additional decoration, while in interiors that tend towards maximalism, plants can be exotic and massive, while a person's green friends interact with rich decorative design. This summer, there has been an increase in demand for Mediterranean plants that are reminiscent of seaside holidays.
An extreme version of the trend: turn a room into a mini garden.
“Smart” room
Visually, the living room design strives for everything natural and natural, but at the same time gravitates towards high-tech “stuffing”. Upholstered furniture with mobile phone chargers built into the armrest, climate control systems, smart speakers, smart lighting scenarios that can be controlled from a mobile device – everything is for comfort.
The interior of the 2025 living room pursues the main goal – to be the comfort zone that you do not want to leave.
