The top four interior design trends for 2025

This year’s biggest design trends celebrate individuality, sustainability, and a deeper connection to art, the local environment and mindful living. Whether you’re looking to make a bold statement or adopt a more intentional approach to your styling, these trends will help you create a home that’s both on-trend and uniquely yours. 

1. Local art takes the spotlight 

Brisbane is home to some incredible art galleries and artists, so it’s no surprise that ‘going local ‘with art and decor choices is trending hard in 2025.  

According to Vogue Australia, there has been a ‘shift’ towards an appreciation of Australian designers and artists, with consumers having a desire to incorporate unique artwork into their home that not only has a point of difference, but supports local creators and the broader community. 

2. Mindful design  

As the world becomes more eco-conscious, people are opting to make more mindful, intentional choices when it comes to curating their home’s interior design. Consumers are moving away from mass-produced decor in favour of meaningful pieces that reflect personal style and sustainability. Rather than prioritising excess to stay on trend, many are embracing a more thoughtful approach—seeking budget-friendly yet high-quality alternatives that stand the test of time. 

There are plenty of ways to be more mindful with your interior design choices – from going antiquing in search of furniture and decor that matches your personal style to selecting furnishings and textiles that won’t date quickly. 

At The Lanes, there is no compromise on the aesthetics of our interior design principles. Stunning architecture is the beginning of an exceptional lifestyle and the quality refinements of natural materials for fittings and fixtures create a more luxurious experience for a timeless statement.

3. Bigger, bolder and more distinctive styling

Don’t be afraid to make your home uniquely yours – because in 2025, interior designers are encouraging you to go bolder, reject formulaic styling and embrace your individuality! According to Decorilla, maximalist styling is the way to make a bold statement – particularly in the living room! To achieve this distinct look, fill your space with personality by displaying an array of decorative items, from artwork to books and quirky knick-knacks, and don’t be afraid of injecting a little (or a lot) of colour!

4. Rightsizing 

While technically not an interior design choice, choosing a home that’s the right size for your lifestyle and needs is very in vogue. Gone are the days where buyers want large-scale homes with spare bedrooms collecting dust – instead, people are choosing to be savvier with their property purchasing decisions and opting for homes that can be intentionally styled. 

The good news is, The Lanes offers an array of layouts, from spacious one-bedroom apartments with multipurpose rooms to three-bedroom residences with multipurpose rooms, skyhomes and penthouses, all with with full floor-to-ceiling glass panels framing breathtaking views – making it easier to have curated, intentional styling throughout.
