2025 Design Trends

Earthy Tones

A colour palette that exudes warmth and authenticity, these natural, grounding tones, speak to slowing down, focusing on the quality of natural materials, and returning to nostalgic sentiments.

Inspired by the catwalks at Gucci and Fendi

Inspired by the catwalks at Gucci and Fendi, here earthy tones and leather reigned supreme. In upholstery we see a shift towards reddish/brown hues like Holly Rust and Velaro Chocolate that feel inviting and familiar. These rich, earth inspired tones will remain important core colours for the global market, shifting from mid-tone wholegrains to warm and red infused shades such as Batick Warm Brown and Velaro Dark Caramel or Abelia Caramel.
