What’s Trending for Fall 2025: The Design World Speaks
The design world is unanimous: 2025 is all about embracing color, texture, and comfort in ways that feel both sophisticated and approachable. Here’s what the experts are saying:
Richer, Moodier Palettes Take Center Stage
Designers are leaning into deep browns, burgundy, plum, and other high-saturation tones, often paired with natural woods. Warm reds including oxblood, chocolate browns, dark greens, and terracotta are leading 2025’s color palette for cozy, sophisticated rooms.
Bold color moves are gaining traction with deep reds paired with terracotta, ochre, and clay pink, plus Yves Klein-style blues as striking accents. The message is clear: this isn’t the time for playing it safe with beige.
Texture Takes the Spotlight
Texture is taking center stage with limewash and plaster effects, upholstered walls, luxe velvets and leathers, plus “material-drenched” finishes that add depth and warmth. Your furniture choices can be part of this trend—think rich leather recliners, velvet accent chairs, and fabrics that beg to be touched.
Curves and Softened Silhouettes
Arched forms and curvilinear furniture, including kidney sofas, rounded chaises, and arched bookcases, continue to rise. This trend brings a gentler, more organic feel to rooms that have been dominated by straight lines and sharp angles.
Nostalgia Meets Modern Comfort
There’s a continued comeback of dark woods, heritage patterns, and “new nostalgia” details that ground spaces. This isn’t about recreating your grandmother’s living room—it’s about bringing the warmth and craftsmanship of traditional pieces into today’s comfortable lifestyle.
Translate the Trends at Home: Make It Comfortable
Understanding trends is one thing, but making them work in your real life is another. Here’s how to bring fall 2025’s biggest trends home without overwhelming your space or your budget:
Color-Rich Seating That Actually Works
Start with a solid foundation—a neutral sectional that can adapt as trends change. Then add personality with a recliner or accent chair in chocolate, oxblood, or deep green, finishing with layered pillows and throws for depth.
This approach gives you the color impact designers are talking about while keeping comfort front and center. A rich burgundy La-Z-Boy recliner, for example, becomes both your trend moment and your favorite spot to unwind after a long day.
Curved Comfort for Modern Living
Introduce rounded arms and curved silhouettes through sofas, chaises, or side tables to soften living rooms and complement fall palettes. Look for pieces with gentle curves rather than sharp corners—they create flow and make spaces feel more welcoming.
The beauty of curved furniture is that it works with both traditional and contemporary décor. A sectional with rounded corners or a kidney-shaped coffee table brings that designer look while maintaining the comfort your family needs.
Warm-Wood Dining for Gathering Season
Fall and winter mean more time around the dining table, making this the perfect season to embrace darker woods and classic forms, mixing upholstered chairs with fall-toned linens for nostalgic warmth.
A rich walnut dining table paired with upholstered chairs in deep green or chocolate creates an inviting space for both everyday meals and holiday entertaining. The key is choosing pieces built to last—the kind of quality furniture that becomes more beautiful with age.
Statement Walls: Easy Upgrades with Big Impact
You don’t need a full renovation to embrace fall’s moodier palette. Try moody paint or plaster and limewash effects for instant coziness without a full remodel.
Consider painting one accent wall in deep burgundy or forest green, then let your furniture complement rather than compete. A neutral sectional suddenly looks more sophisticated against a rich backdrop, while wood tones appear warmer and more inviting.
Room-by-Room Fall 2025 Inspiration
Living Room: Where Comfort Meets Style
Create impact with a color-forward recliner plus plush textiles, and add a curved cocktail table to echo the shapes trend. This combination gives you multiple trend elements while maintaining the functionality you need for daily life.
Think of your living room as layers: start with comfortable seating, add color through one statement piece, incorporate curves with your coffee table or side tables, and finish with textiles that bring in texture and warmth.
Bedroom: Your Personal Sanctuary
Embrace saturated, restful hues like burgundy and deep green with tactile bedding and upholstered headboards for texture. Your bedroom should feel like a retreat, and this year’s trends support exactly that feeling.
An upholstered headboard in rich velvet or linen not only adds the texture designers are loving—it also makes your bedroom feel more luxurious every single night. Pair it with quality bedding in complementary tones for a look that’s both trendy and timeless.
Dining Room: Ready for Gathering
Choose a warm wood table with mixed seating, leaning into burgundy and terracotta accents for seasonal depth. This approach creates visual interest while ensuring everyone has a comfortable place at your table.
Mix a wooden bench with upholstered chairs, or combine different chair styles in coordinating fabrics. The result feels collected over time rather than bought all at once—a more sophisticated and personal approach to dining room style.
