Art Deco Glam: A Touch of Gatsby

Evoking the roaring twenties, Art Deco Glam is all about luxury and opulence. Think rich velvets, silks and metallics (gold, silver, brass), combined with bold geometric patterns like chevrons, zigzags and sunbursts. This style exudes sophistication and works beautifully in period homes with high ceilings, but can be adapted to modern spaces with strategic furniture and accessory choices. Think of the glamour of Downton Abbey meets the energy of a jazz club.

KEY TAKEAWAYS ABOUT THE UK’S TOP HOME INTERIOR STYLES 2025

• Emphasis on Well-being and Comfort: After the past few years, creating a sanctuary at home is paramount. Styles like Biophilic Design, Scandinavian Cozy (Hygge) and Home Wellness Spaces highlight the importance of creating calming, relaxing and restorative environments. This translates to using natural materials, soft textures, calming colours and prioritising comfort in furniture choices. It’s less about showy displays and more about creating a space that nurtures our mental and physical well-being.

• Nature’s Influence Remains Strong: The connection to nature continues to be a major driving force in interior design. Biophilic Design is a prime example, but the influence of nature can be seen across many styles, from the earthy tones of Modern Rustic and Deep Earthy Tones to the natural materials used in Japandi and Scandinavian Cosy. Expect to see lots of wood, stone, natural fibres and, of course, plenty of plants.

• A Celebration of Individuality: There’s a strong move away from rigid rules and towards expressing personal style. Eclectic design is a key example of this, encouraging the mixing of different styles, eras and influences to create a unique and personal look. Even within more defined styles, there’s room for personal interpretation and adaptation. It’s about creating a home that tells your story.

• Boldness and Expression: While comfort and natural elements are important, there’s also a growing appetite for bolder design choices. Colour Drenched Rooms, Maximalism and Post-Modernism encourage the use of vibrant colours, bold patterns and statement pieces. This reflects a desire to inject personality and energy into our homes. It’s less about blending in and more about standing out.

• Sustainability Is Key: Eco-consciousness continues to be a major consideration in all aspects of life, including interior design. The Sustainability style highlights this, but the use of sustainable materials and eco-friendly practices is becoming increasingly important across all styles. Expect to see more reclaimed wood, recycled materials and a focus on reducing waste.

• Technology Integrates Seamlessly: Smart home technology is no longer a futuristic concept, it’s becoming an integral part of our homes. Discreet Tech highlights the importance of integrating technology seamlessly into the decor, without sacrificing style. Expect to see more furniture with built-in charging stations, smart lighting systems and voice-activated assistants that blend seamlessly with the overall design.

• Mixing The Old With The New: There’s a growing appreciation for vintage and antique pieces, as seen in Vintage Revival and the incorporation of vintage finds in Eclectic and Farmhouse styles. This reflects a desire to add character and history to our homes, while also promoting sustainability by giving existing pieces a new life.

• Versatility For Different Living Situations: Many of these styles can be adapted to different living situations, whether you live in a house, an apartment or a rented property. There are ways to incorporate key elements of each style without making permanent changes or breaking the bank.

What Other Design Experts Say About 2025’s Most Popular Home Interior Styles…

“Moving down from your walls to the floor, colour drenching is the best way to create a cosy and cocooning feel with your carpets this year.”
Charlotte Olby at Homes & Gardens

“XL sofas – The sheer size of them has given rise to clever modular constructions, not only do individual units fit through doors upon delivery but they can be moved around at will, adapting to changing needs.”
Rachel Edwards at House Beautiful

“Choosing the era that’s most inspiring design right now was a tough choice between the 1990s and 1970s. Both are pulling through in fashion right now, as well as interiors. For the 1990s, nostalgic throwbacks and a ravecore aesthetic are proving popular with Gen Z, and we’re even seeing materials return like chrome that encapsulate a return to pre-millennium kitsch. However, when it comes to luxury design, it’s really the 70s that’s making waves. Think shag pile, chenille and combinations of purple, green, orange and burgundy.”

UK’s Top 25 Home Interior Design Styles – FAQs

How do I choose the right interior design style for my home?

The best style for you is one that reflects your personality, lifestyle and preferences. Consider what kind of atmosphere you want to create (relaxing, energetic, sophisticated, etc.), what colours and patterns you love, and what kind of furniture and decor you’re drawn to. Don’t be afraid to mix and match elements from different styles to create a truly unique look.

Do I have to stick to just one style?

Absolutely not! In fact, many of the most interesting and stylish homes blend elements from different styles. This is where the ‘Eclectic’ style comes in, but even if you’re drawn to a specific style, feel free to add your own personal touches and mix things up a bit.

How can I incorporate these styles if I’m on a budget?

You don’t need to spend a fortune to achieve a stylish look. Focus on key elements of the style you love, like colour palettes, textures and a few key pieces of furniture. You can find affordable furniture and decor at our outlets (shameless plug!), in charity shops, at antique markets and online.

What if I’m renting? Can I still incorporate these styles?

Absolutely! There are plenty of ways to add style to a rental without making permanent changes. Focus on portable items like rugs, cushions, throws, artwork and lighting. Removable wallpaper is also a great option for adding colour and texture to walls.

How can I create a focal point in a room?

A focal point is a visual anchor that draws the eye and creates a sense of balance. This could be a fireplace, a large window with a view, a statement piece of furniture (like a striking sofa or a grand piano!), a gallery wall or a large piece of artwork. Once you’ve identified your focal point, arrange the rest of the furniture and decor to complement it.

What are some tips for choosing the right colours for my home?

Consider the mood you want to create in each room. Cool colours (blues, greens, purples) tend to create a calming and relaxing atmosphere, while warm colours (reds, oranges, yellows) are more energetic and inviting. Also, think about the size and lighting of the room. Lighter colours can make a small room feel larger and brighter, while darker colours can create a more intimate and cosy feel. Don’t be afraid to experiment with colour, but try to maintain a cohesive palette throughout your home.

How important is lighting in interior design?

Lighting is absolutely crucial. It can completely transform the atmosphere of a room. Aim for a mix of different types of lighting: ambient lighting (general overhead lighting), task lighting (for specific activities like reading or cooking) and accent lighting (to highlight artwork or architectural features). Consider using different light sources – such as ceiling lights, lamps and wall sconces – to create depth and dimension.

What’s the best way to arrange furniture in a room?

Consider the function of the room and how you’ll be using it. In a living room, create a comfortable seating area for conversation. In a dining room, ensure there’s enough space around the table for people to move around comfortably. In a bedroom, prioritise the bed’s placement and create a relaxing and functional layout. Think about traffic flow and make sure there’s enough space to move around the room easily.

How can I make a small room feel bigger?

There are several tricks you can use to make a small room feel more spacious:

Use light colours on the walls and ceiling.
Maximise natural light with sheer curtains or blinds.
Use mirrors to reflect light and create the illusion of more space.
Choose furniture that’s proportionate to the room.
Avoid clutter and keep things organised.
Use vertical space with shelving and wall-mounted storage.
