Every year, the choice of the trend colour sparks anticipation. For 2025, it is “Mocha Mousse”, a warm brown tone that has already found its way into many homes. Combined with chocolate nuances and cream, it creates an enveloping atmosphere – especially evocative in the living room, next to a crackling fire and a favourite armchair.
Yet the 2025 palette thrives on diversity: alongside soft taupe and grey shades, bold hues like burgundy, moss green, optimistic orange or subtle lilac take centre stage. Together, they form a harmonious whole while leaving space for individual expression.
Living Trends 2025 – what to expect
The forecasts for 2025 reflect what moves us as a society: the desire for balance, creativity and comfort. Colour plays a central role here. Pantone has named “Mocha Mousse” as the colour of the year, while trend experts also see a comeback of strong, expressive tones – playful, untamed and romantic at once.
- Naturalness & Craftsmanship
In uncertain times, the longing for stability and connection with nature grows. Wood takes centre stage – walnut, oak or pine. Timeless and enduring, it can be restored, enhanced and cherished for decades. Quality and craftsmanship are more relevant than ever.
- The comeback of animal prints
Leopard, zebra and other bold patterns are making their return. Rooted in the glamorous aesthetic of the 1970s, they bring elegance, extravagance and a hint of wildness to interiors.
- Cultivated elegance
“Quiet Luxury” remains a defining theme. It highlights premium quality, noble materials and understated forms. Rather than loud effects, it is subtle elegance that sets the tone, radiating calm and style.
- Corduroy as a trend fabric
Corduroy is reclaiming living rooms. Casual, durable and easy to care for, it shines especially in earthy tones. A blend of laid-back charm and practicality, it perfectly suits modern lifestyles.
- Rounded forms & Conversation Pits
The 1960s and 70s are back with deep, circular seating landscapes. Conversation Pits create islands of conviviality, gathering family and friends in a cosy and inviting atmosphere – a much-needed symbol of togetherness.
- Revivals of design classics
Iconic designs from past decades are experiencing a renaissance. These re-editions reinterpret familiar forms in a contemporary way, uniting tradition with innovation.
- Shining accents
Glossy surfaces remain, but in a more restrained manner. Stainless steel, for instance, no longer dominates but appears as an elegant accent. A few carefully placed highlights often create more impact than an overload of shine.
