Make yourself comfortable. That’s pretty much the TL;DR for winter 2025 interior design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve reached that chilly time of remembering, dreaming, and plenty of gathering. So it’s also the time of year we love to check in with interior design experts to get their hot takes on the coolest season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve pulled together our favorite expert trend advice, and today we\u2019ll give you a taste of what\u2019s trending in interior design for the holidays and beyond. Now\u2019s the time you get to<\/em> make your home a whole lot more comfortable and cozy for the season ahead. Because \u2014 oh, so very happily \u2014 that’s what\u2019s truly<\/em> trending this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re going deep this season \u2014 with colors that is. April & Ashley\u2019s <\/em>Tyler Francis shared the shift with Elle Decor<\/em><\/a>, \u201cLast year, minimalism was in, so we had a lot of orders for all white and cream rose tablescapes. This year, designers are leaning towards an opulent color palette in jewel tones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Imagine you really<\/em> want to rest, relax, and maybe swap stories with your nearest and dearest. You\u2019re offered two rooms, one with overhead fluorescent lights, the other with a crackling fire and plush, cozy furniture. No-brainer, right? That\u2019s also often the difference between bright tones and deep, rich jewel tones in your favorite spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Design styles like dark academia, maximalism, art deco<\/a>, and more, revel year-round in those jewel tones to set the stage for comfort and connection, like burgundy and hunter green beckoning you to settle in and snuggle up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Designer, Megan Molten, puts it perfectly in Southern Living<\/em><\/a>, “I\u2019ve seen [burgundy] all over the markets and in fashion, which always translates into the home,” adding simply it\u2019s “the new red.” Color this winter with slipcovers and accents in fabrics with those deep shades in your home, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Curating cozy can come from colors, but it also comes from cultivating spaces with a cornucopia of personality and charm. The idea is to practice a kind of practical maximalism<\/a>, packing personality into your design vibe without cluttering things up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s about filling spaces with things that bring you, well, tidings of comfort and joy, I suppose. And doing it intentionally enough that it feels on-purpose, rather than piled-on. Southern Living<\/em><\/a> spoke with Thumbtack\u2019s<\/em> Kendra Sinclair who shares, “As homeowners add to their holiday collection each year, focusing on layering decor keeps the vibe cozy and intentional while the surroundings are loud and luxurious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, for inspiration, Martha Stewart\u2019s<\/em><\/a> Michele Laufik points to, \u201cAffordable, intentional updates\u2014like lighting, cozy textiles, and seasonal scents\u2014are helping people embrace \u2018practical maximalism\u2019 without overspending.\u201d When cultivating a cozy welcome in your home, more-is-more \u2014 just do it on-purpose, and on-personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the through-line trend of deepening a sense of cozy comfort, there\u2019s an emphasis on greenery like branches and foliage, rich and full of life. As Perigold\u2019s Design Services\u2019<\/em> Elisabeth Gunshenan explains to Veranda<\/em><\/a>, \u201cLarge-scale garland brings a lush appearance to mantles, doorways, or staircases\u2026 add visual interest through texture and dimension.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can go green with elements from your local farmers market, craft store, or maybe your own backyard. As Kara of Kara Childress Interior Atelier<\/em> tells House Beautiful<\/em><\/a>, \u201cI love working with fresh greenery like pine or boxwood and layering in simple ribbons, pinecones, and ornaments that catch the light in a soft, beautiful way. It feels effortless but still special.\u201d So, use them in expected and unexpected places, offering the grounding that comes from bringing the outdoors inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, you don\u2019t need actual greenery, fabrics can bring the magic<\/a>, too. In SL<\/em>, Sara Swabb, of Storie Collective<\/em>, adds, “I\u2019m drawn to subtle variations of evergreen such as sage, olive, and pine, layered with warm neutrals and tactile materials like wool, velvet, and linen. It feels softer, calmer, and more timeless.” Yes. More of that, please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yep, the pony on the shirt guy. Turns out, interior designers are loving a “Ralph Lauren” interior design style vibe for your holiday. Why? It\u2019s the quintessentially warm, clubby, sort of palette and vibe, tartan plaids<\/a>, hunter greens, deep (deep<\/em>) reds, glass, brass, and more. As designer Scott Francis puts it to Real Simple<\/em><\/a>, \u201cThe Ralph Lauren look is classic and quintessential cozy vibes (year-round).\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bringing this into your winter decor is about bringing a kind of timeless, cozy elegance. As designer Tony Roberts shares with Martha Stewart<\/em><\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s cozy yet sophisticated\u2026 The goal is to make traditional design feel fresh again.\u201d So you lean into traditional elements in a big way and with an intention centered on filling your space with things that bring (I know, I keep saying it) comfort and joy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a gift that rarely gets properly wrapped \u2014 your Christmas tree. This year, part of leaning into traditional coziness, is reaching back for some of that Dickensian vibe. In other words, more ribbons and bows. Things that feel personal, like somebody had their hands and heart in decorating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think velvet bows and ribbons woven through trees, draped on mantels, and dancing their way into garland. As we learned from designer Amy Studebaker in Architectural Digest<\/em><\/a>, \u201cBows are such a classic, but including them on a tree in a dramatic scale is what makes something traditional feel unexpected and even a bit whimsical.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n This trend is another chance to add personality and pizazz, as designer Elisabeth Gunshenan tells Veranda<\/em><\/a>, \u201cWe\u2019re now seeing bows used as bold pops of color and pattern\u2026 and no longer limiting bows to just the top of the Christmas tree.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, designer Peggy Haddad declares in Real Simple<\/em><\/a>, \u201cBows are definitely back, but in a more sophisticated way.\u201d Playtime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Design this season is a nostalgic cocktail of more-is-more maximalism, infused with your personality, and an absolute insistence on coziness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bring it home through colors, textures, and natural elements. And<\/em> through personal ornaments, heirlooms, and vintage finds \u2014 \u201cand\u201d is the keyword. As Gray Walker succinctly says in House Beautiful<\/em><\/a>, \u201cThe big holiday mood this year is cozy and nostalgic\u2026 People are leaning into the \u2018more-is-more\u2019 vibe.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s to the moments that come from leaning into whatever arises for you when you think of making your home \u201ccozier\u201d and more \u201cnostalgically\u201d you. As Sarah Schwab says in The Spruce<\/em><\/a>, \u201cThere\u2019s something nostalgic and grounding about the mix of old-fashioned ornaments\u2026 It\u2019s that return to sentiment and story that makes a tree feel alive again.\u201d Oh, what a welcome you\u2019ll give.Colors Go Deep<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
