2025 Interior Trends UK: What Designers Are Predicting Next

The UK interiors landscape is shifting in bold, exciting ways as we head into 2025. From warm, chocolate-infused palettes to organic modern silhouettes, British homes are embracing comfort, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance like never before.

Interior designers across the UK—from London townhouses to North East coast conversions—are reporting the same thing:
2025 will be the year of warmth, tactility, and elevated everyday living.

This in-depth guide explores the most influential interior trends shaping UK homes next year, the colours and materials designers are obsessed with, and the furniture styles dominating online searches and social feeds. It also includes expert styling advice and highlights the best pieces from leading brands such as Tommy Franks, Eichholtz, Gallery Direct, Richmond Interiors, Uttermost, Maze Living, and Pacific Lifestyle—all available at House of Isabella.


1. Warm, Chocolate-Toned Interiors Are the New Neutral

Move over grey and cool-toned minimalism — warm brown interiors are taking over the UK. This is easily the biggest trend for 2025.

Why is chocolate so hot right now?

✔ Creates a cosy, inviting luxury look
✔ Works perfectly in British homes with soft natural light
✔ Blends with Japandi, modern, organic, and classic styles
✔ Feels expensive, timeless, and boutique-hotel inspired

Interior designers across the UK are swapping pale woods for deep cocoa oaks, mocha stains, and rich walnut finishes that instantly add visual depth.

One of the leading brands driving this trend is Tommy Franks, with the highly anticipated Berwick Range. Its Chocolate Cocoa Oak finish has become one of the most in-demand furniture textures of 2025—already trending on Instagram and designer mood boards.

How to style the chocolate trend:

  • Pair chocolate wood with cream boucle chairs

  • Use brass or brushed gold lighting (Eichholtz, Gallery Direct)

  • Add texture with linen throws, velvet cushions, and faux plants

  • Keep walls light: warm white, greige, stone

Chocolate furniture looks premium without feeling formal. It brings the warmth of heritage interiors and blends it with modern silhouettes.

Best picks from House of Isabella:

  • Tommy Franks Berwick Sideboard

  • Richmond Interiors Walnut-Tone Console

  • Eichholtz Brass-Detail Coffee Tables

  • Pacific Lifestyle Warm-Bronze Lamps


2. The Rise of Organic Modern: Curves, Texture & Natural Materials

Organic modern is becoming the UK’s most requested interior style for 2025.
Think: soft curves, tactile fabrics, natural stone, fluted wood, handcrafted details.

Key elements of the trend:

  • Rounded sofas and armchairs

  • Sculptural coffee tables

  • Linen upholstery

  • Ceramic and stone accessories

  • Fluted or ribbed wood textures

  • Soft, neutral palettes

This trend blends perfectly with the shift toward earthy colours and wellness-led living.

Brands leading this look include Eichholtz, Uttermost, and Gallery Direct, offering curved accent chairs, sculptural lamps, boucle pieces, and textured accessories.

Organic modern styling tips:

  • Mix hard (stone, wood) with soft (boucle, linen)

  • Add movement with curved silhouettes

  • Incorporate organic shapes like wave mirrors and round tables

  • Use plenty of warm lighting — floor lamps are essential


3. Boutique Hotel Vibes: Everyday Luxury at Home

The desire to create boutique-hotel-inspired rooms continues to climb. UK homeowners increasingly want:

  • statement headboards

  • soft-glow lighting

  • feature wall art

  • luxury cushions

  • oversized round mirrors

  • warm walnut and chocolate woods

Designer brands like Eichholtz and Richmond Interiors excel at boutique hotel styling, with exquisite details like brass, velvet, fluting, smoked glass, and marble.

How to get the look:

  • Choose a statement bedside table from Tommy Franks

  • Add a sculptural lamp by Uttermost

  • Layer high-quality bed linens

  • Use warm gold or bronze accents

  • Style with a round mirror (Gallery Direct)


4. Small-Space Luxury: UK Homes Go “Compact Premium”

With UK flats, terraces, and townhouses continuing to prioritise smaller footprints, the trend for small-space luxury is booming.

High search volume keywords include:
✔ small living room ideas
✔ narrow hallway styling
✔ compact dining sets
✔ multi-purpose furniture
✔ storage + design combinations

Customers want furniture that is functional, high-end, and space-effortless.

Best-sellers for small spaces:

  • Round dining tables

  • Nesting coffee tables

  • Slimline console tables

  • Tall mirrors

  • Slender floor lamps

  • Multi-drawer storage units

Brands like Tommy Franks, Gallery Direct, and Maze shine in this area with clever, stylish solutions designed for smaller UK homes.


5. Bold Statement Lighting Takes Centre Stage

2025 is officially the year of statement lighting.

Instead of relying solely on ceiling lights, UK homes are embracing layered lighting:

  • Floor lamps to create ambience

  • Sconces for architectural interest

  • Modern chandeliers

  • Table lamps with sculptural bases

  • LED wall lights

Lighting is becoming a form of decorative art.

Uttermost and Eichholtz dominate this space with beautiful, sculptural designs that blur the line between lighting and sculpture.

Lighting tips for 2025:

  • Use warm-toned bulbs only

  • Mix ambient, task, and accent lighting

  • Choose at least 3 light sources per room

  • Use lamps to break up empty corners


6. Marble & Stone Furniture: Luxury Without the Price Tag

Marble is officially mainstream.
UK shoppers want the look of marble without the heavy cost, and furniture brands have responded with stunning stone-effect and genuine marble options.

2025 sees demand increasing for:

  • Marble coffee tables

  • Marble console tables

  • Marble bedside tables

  • Stone-effect dining tables

Richmond Interiors and Gallery Direct offer some of the best interpretations of modern marble furniture, blending durability with functional beauty.


7. British Heritage Meets Modern Minimalism

Another key 2025 prediction is the rise of “Modern Heritage”—classic British design elements blended with a fresh, contemporary twist.

Think:

  • Panelled walls

  • Warm heritage colours (mushroom, moss, chocolate, rust)

  • Wooden furniture with modern silhouettes

  • Curved armchairs and ottomans

  • Brass knobs and handles

This trend is perfect for UK period homes and new-builds alike.

Tommy Franks’ Chocolate Cocoa Oak pieces pair beautifully with heritage styling—offering a fresh, updated take on classic British craftsmanship.


8. Maximalist Accessories Are Back (But Calmer This Time)

After years of minimalist trends, accessories are returning—just in a more refined, curated way.

Examples include:

  • Oversized vases

  • Texture-rich cushions

  • Sculptural ornaments

  • Artisanal bowls and trays

  • Layered throw blankets

  • Large faux olive trees (Tree Locate)

2025’s accessory trend is all about intentional maximalism—pieces that elevate a room without cluttering it.


9. Faux Plants: Designers’ Secret Weapon for 2025

Interior designers LOVE faux plants—especially high-quality ones.

Why they're trending in 2025:

  • No maintenance

  • Great for low-light UK homes

  • Look real on camera (Instagram, TikTok)

  • Bring life to neutral spaces

  • Work in rented flats

Tree Locate and Pacific Lifestyle faux plants are some of the most realistic available in the UK and are flying out for 2025 projects.


10. Gold & Brass Are Still Dominating Metallic Accents

2025’s metallic story is still dominated by brass, burnished gold, and warm bronze.

Cold steel is out.
Warm metals are in.

They pair perfectly with:

  • chocolate woods

  • marble

  • boucle

  • cream upholstery

  • heritage palettes

Eichholtz leads the luxury end of the metallic trend, with stunning lamps, side tables, and mirrors.
