In 2025, interior design trends ranged from cosy fabrics to bold wallpaper choices. It was all about creating spaces that feel personal, stylish, and welcoming. House Decor Interiors takes us through the trends that shaped interior design in 2025.
As 2026 looms, the experts at House Decor Interiors explain what interior design trends to expect.
The Standout Interior Design Trends of 2025
This year, interiors focused on wellness, warmth, and personality. Colours such as deep blues, greens, browns, and yellows were popular, often paired with organic textures such as wool and bouclé. Homes leaned into comfort-led luxury, with furniture, fabrics, and window treatments that added both style and a lived-in feeling. The aim was to create a space that was comfortable and felt welcoming.
Fabrics & Curtains That Made a Statement
Natural and textured fabrics were everywhere in 2025. Linen, soft cotton blends, and bouclé became go-to choices for cushions, throws, and curtains. Bespoke curtains, perfectly tailored to a room, were especially popular, giving homes a sense of thoughtfulness and care.
Layering sheer curtains with heavier drapes was a simple way to combine warmth and drama. It echoed the editorial styling often seen in publications like House & Garden.
Wallpaper: From Walls to Ceilings
In 2025, wallpaper continued to make an enormous impact, and British Vogue highlighted some striking trends. Designers are now using wallpaper even on ceilings, adding an unexpected touch of luxury and comfort. Panoramic wallpaper has been particularly hot, and upholstered walls in velvet, leather, or suede are also gaining popularity.
This type of styling adds intimacy, warmth, and texture to living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms, creating spaces that feel more inviting. As Lauren & Suzanne McGrath put it: “It can add an extra element of comfort and luxury to every room.”
Roman Blinds & Feature Walls
Roman blinds quietly made a comeback as a stylish, clean-lined alternative to traditional curtains. In 2025, Roman blinds remained highly popular thanks to their timeless elegance. However, trends focused on natural fabrics like linen, cotton, and bamboo in muted, warm tones such as beige, mocha, and soft blues.
Layering Roman blinds with curtains became a new trend. It adds depth and sophistication to a room. This combination of classic elegance and modern convenience makes them a versatile choice for various rooms.
Moreover, when paired with feature wallpaper or upholstered walls, Roman blinds balance bold statements with functional design. It adds depth and personality without overwhelming the space.
Colour Palettes That Felt Right at Home
This year embraced warmth and personality through colour. Earthy tones such as clay, taupe, and browns, alongside deep blues, greens, and yellows, created rooms that felt grounded and welcoming. These shades worked beautifully with layered fabrics, curtains, and bespoke wall treatments. This resulted in spaces that were stylish and comfortable.

Curtain Trends
Curtains will focus on natural textures and soft, earthy, or neutral colours. Layered looks combining sheers with drapes will remain popular, offering a luxurious and sustainable feel. You can also expect architectural touches, including floor-gazing drapes, tailored headers, and functional café curtains to feature heavily. Combining these with smart tech will create calming, polished, and textured spaces.
Wallpaper Trends
In 2026, you can expect wallpaper to move into 3 different directions.
Refined Nature (subdued botanicals, forest scenes, large florals) for which collections of designers, like William Morris, are perfect. Modern Classics (sophisticated stripes, damasks, neoclassical motifs, updated geometrics) for which designers like Casadeco are most suited. And Texture and Mood (3D effects, subtle shine or mica, rich colours like emerald and navy).
Authenticity and sustainability are central, with waterproof options even for bathrooms. Rich, layered, and personal designs blending heritage with contemporary style will create cosy, soulful spaces.
Making It Work for Your Home
Updating a room doesn’t always mean a full renovation. Sometimes, adding a feature wall, layering fabrics, or trying a statement Roman blind can completely refresh a space. The key is to take inspiration from the trends and magazines but always make it personal. Your home should feel like your sanctuary.
What Are The Main Differences?
2025 showed that interiors are about comfort, personality, and thoughtful details. In 2026, expect these ideas to evolve, with texture, colour, and statement pieces leading the way. Whether it’s a bespoke curtain, a Roman blind, a feature wall, or even a ceiling wrapped in wallpaper, there’s plenty to get excited about for the year ahead.
