Crafting Spaces for 2025: Design Resolutions

As we look toward 2025, interior design is taking a warm, character-driven turn. This year’s trends encourage us to create spaces that feel personal, sustainable, and undeniably inviting. At glør, where design meets purpose, we’re thrilled to highlight the top design movements shaping the future of interiors.

In our recent Instagram post, we highlighted the Pantone Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse.

This rich, earthy tone perfectly aligns with 2025’s design focus on grounded, nature-inspired palettes. 

Pairing Mocha Mousse with complementary greens, browns, or ochres can create a harmonious and inviting space that embodies this year’s trends.

To help you bring these ideas into your home, we’ve put together a simple guide of do's and don’ts. By embracing elements like earthy palettes, layered textures, and sustainable designs while steering clear of outdated trends like stark minimalism or fast furniture, you can craft a space that feels timeless and inspiring.

The Do’s: Trends to Welcome

1. Earthy Color Palettes
   Nature-inspired hues are leading the way, with deep greens, warm browns, and muted ochres setting a grounded and serene tone. These colors not only make a room feel cozy but also connect us to the natural world.

2. Curved and Organic Shapes
   From sculptural lighting to softly rounded sofas, curves are replacing sharp edges. This trend brings a sense of flow and comfort to modern interiors, adding visual interest and approachability.

3. Layered Textures
   Mix and match materials like clay, ceramics, wood, and textiles. This interplay of textures creates depth and adds a tactile richness to any space. Think ceramic pendant lights paired with raw wood tables.

4. Sustainability in Design
   Durability and eco-conscious choices matter more than ever. Invest in timeless, high-quality furniture and energy-efficient appliances that are as kind to the planet as they are to your home.

5. Wellness-Focused Areas
   Dedicate spaces to relaxation and self-care. Whether it’s a cozy reading nook, a yoga corner, or a spa-inspired bathroom, prioritize mental and physical well-being in your designs.

The Don’ts: Trends to Leave Behind

1. All-White Interiors
   While once a hallmark of minimalism, all-white spaces are making way for richer, earth-toned environments that feel warmer and more lived-in.

2. Overly Minimalist Designs
   Stark and impersonal interiors no longer resonate. Instead, aim for spaces that tell a story and reflect personality through vintage finds or character-driven décor.

3. Fast Furniture
   Move away from mass-produced pieces that prioritize cost over quality. Opt for furniture with craftsmanship and sustainability at its core.
