5 Interior Design Trends for Summer 2025
Looking to give your home a fresh new look this season?
According to recent insights from consumer-focused design publications like Livingetc and Ideal Home, interior design in Summer 2025 is all about thoughtful comfort, natural materials, and timeless personal touches. Whether you're refreshing a room for the warmer months or making more permanent design changes, these five trends are expected to shape homes across the UK this summer. From tactile finishes to sculptural silhouettes, here’s what to look out for now.
1. Soft Geometry: Curves and Rounded Forms
2025 continues the shift away from sharp lines and rigid structures in favour of soft, sculptural design. Think curved sofas, rounded armchairs, arched doorways, and oval tables. This trend brings a calming, fluid feel to living spaces and works particularly well in open-plan layouts.
At Reynolds Furniture, you’ll find plenty of pieces that embrace gentle curves while maintaining structure. The Stressless Mayfair Recliner is a perfect example, with its rounded cushioning and sculptural silhouette, ideal for contemporary spaces focused on comfort and form. - perfect for blending comfort with design.
2. Natural Textures and Earthy Tones
Natural finishes are more popular than ever. As highlighted in House & Garden’s 2025 trends preview, warm woods, tactile ceramics, and woven textiles are making a strong comeback across furniture and soft furnishings. Oak, rattan, and linen are having a resurgence, with tones inspired by sand, clay, terracotta and mossy green.
These materials not only add depth but also make spaces feel grounded and relaxed. Consider the Fontwell Oak Dining Table for a tactile, natural centrepiece or the Parker Knoll Manhattan Recliner for a linen finish that adds both texture and elegance.
3. Elevated Neutrals
Beige is back, but this time with purpose. Instead of flat greys and whites, interiors are moving towards layered neutrals - combining mushroom, taupe, warm ivory, and biscuit shades to create interest without relying on colour pops. These tones feel organic, timeless and make an ideal backdrop for bold statement pieces or soft tonal layering.
Pairing a neutral base with sculptural lighting or a statement armchair in a contrasting material (like leather or boucle) adds dimension while keeping the look refined.
4. Statement Recliners and Accent Chairs
Comfort no longer means compromise. In 2025, functional pieces like recliners are doubling as design statements. Look for bold silhouettes, textured fabrics, and elevated bases that make your seating a central feature, not an afterthought.
At Reynolds, brands like Stressless and Parker Knoll are leading the way with recliners that feel just as stylish as they are supportive - ideal for those who want high performance with high design.
5. Mindful Styling and Meaningful Displays
Minimalism is softening into something more personal. Rather than stripping rooms bare, the trend is to style with intention - think curated shelves, a few well-loved books, and handmade ceramics. It’s about quality over quantity and making space for items that spark joy or reflect your personality.
Combining old and new pieces, layering textiles, and styling with locally sourced furniture or sustainable brands brings character and connection to every room.
