According to designers, 7 bedroom trends will dominate in 2025

When we think about this year’s interior design trends, it’s clear that the way we design our bedrooms is evolving. We are approaching a moment where bedrooms become a reflection of our personal style. Above all, they also promote a good night’s sleep.

“I’m especially excited about the direction bedroom trends will take in 2025,” says Laura Hammett, founder and creative director of Laura Hammett interiors. “What is really encouraging is seeing a return to spaces that nurture our wellbeing and create a real sanctuary – something I have always believed is essential.”

Here, we spoke to interior designers to get the scoop on all the bedroom trends coming to the fore in the new year. Their answers just might provide inspiration for your next home makeover.

It all starts with color. When you imagine a bedroom design in your mind’s eye, spin the color wheel toward earthy tones. “The shift towards warmer, more enveloping shades is something I see my clients gravitating towards,” says Hammett. “Rich beiges, warm chocolates and subtle terracottas create cocoon-like environments that feel both grounded and luxurious.”

This marks a clear shift from the cool grays, whites and blues brought about by long-standing trends such as coastal decor. It’s a move you might see coming, though, given this year’s cozier trends, including Japandi, quiet luxury and understated decor. We now long for warmer colors, organic shapes and spaces that feel very comforting and personal.

“Rich, earthy tones like brown dominate bedrooms,” says Alexis Woodbury Earman, interior designer and director of The Woodbury Home. “It creates the same romantic charm you can find outside.” These colors go well with natural materials, such as rattan furniture and wood paneling.

In 2025, color will become an immersive experience. “We love building layers into the space,” says Kathryn Murphy, interior designer and principal at Kathryn Murphy Interiors. “We go all-in with pattern via small-scale wallpaper, or we use tone-on-tone double drenching.”

Double soaking is a technique introduced by the British paint company Little Greene; it takes the color-drenched trend one step further. While color drenching immerses a room in a single paint color on all surfaces, double drenching combines analogous colors of the same intensity. “The variation in shades, even if they are from the same color family, creates a layered look, with subtle contrast – it feels dynamic and visually intriguing,” says Ruth Mottershead, creative director at Little Greene.

It’s a trend that’s on fire right now. “Using two different colors – one for the walls and another for moldings and skirting boards – is gaining popularity,” says Paula Dixon, interior designer and director at Paula Dixon Design. “Imagine blue walls, combined with green borders, doors and skirting boards. If you want to successfully achieve this look in a bedroom, make sure you use the correct value of each color.

Likewise, bedroom wallpaper will be all the rage next year. “I think we’ll see mid to light brown tones and all-over wallpaper,” says Lauren Sullivan, interior designer and director at Well x Design.

All-over wallpaper, also called pattern infusion, applies patterns throughout the room: from upholstery, rugs and textiles to walls and even ceilings. You can immerse a room in one pattern, or combine two or more complementary patterns. It may sound like a recipe for chaos, but in the right hands, a top-to-bottom pattern can make even a larger room feel cozy.

Next year, expect to see patterns, colors and shapes that emerge from Mother Nature. The impulse? A concerted shift toward eco-friendly elements has recently brought biophilic design to the forefront. The trend is based on the principle that as humans we have an innate connection with nature. Incorporating natural elements into our living spaces thus improves well-being and creativity.

“Incorporating natural elements, such as plants, waterfalls and rock walls, promotes tranquility,” says Dixon. “It ensures that outdoor and indoor environments become one.” You can take the ethos one step further by adding natural furnishings, materials and textiles, as well as nature-inspired colors and patterns.

Sharp angles are out, and soft lines are in. “In my recent projects I have incorporated soft, curved sofas and armchairs that invite you to sink in and unwind at the end of the day,” says Hammett. “These softer silhouettes extend to everything – from sculptural side tables to gracefully curved consoles – creating a beautiful sense of flow throughout the bedroom.”

Upholstered, amorphous headboards are another way to incorporate this trend, as are bedside tables and dressers with scalloped finishes. The idea is to “emulate the perfect imperfection of nature and add beautiful character to the space,” according to Woodbury Earman. “There’s something inherently soothing about these round shapes,” Hammett adds. “They help soften the space and make it more inviting.”

Mixing materials

Stone and wood is a timeless combination, which you can expect to see even more of in bedrooms next year. The contrast of hard and soft materials adds visual interest and texture to a space and complements a natural, rich color palette. “The era of whitewashed oak floors and stark white ceilings is fading,” says Dixon. “Imagine travertine floors laid in inventive patterns alongside walnut accents on walls and ceilings.”

Finally, you can expect a lot more personality in these spaces. Sullivan predicts this will be the biggest bedroom trend next year. “The most prominent theme of 2025 will be personal, collected spaces that tell the story of those who live there,” she says. “Think of more antique and vintage finds, but also of incorporating special family heirlooms.”

However, it’s all about finding a balance. “When vintage furniture is paired well with new pieces, it makes a space feel collected and layered,” adds Dixon. “The room tells a story through the transition from new to classic, offering an unpredictable and inherently beautiful visual journey.”

In line with this, the bookshelf wealth trend continues to evolve and could be coming to a home near you. Expect to see more books and cozy reading nooks in bedrooms next year. “We’re seeing interest in creating personal spaces with places to retreat,” says Murphy. “Often this is achieved by building upholstered nooks that are just right for curling up with a book.”
