As we step into 2025, the world of interior design is brimming with exciting new trends that combine style, functionality, and personalisation. From the sensory magic of Sensescaping to the thoughtful and sustainable elegance of Worthwise investments, our interior design experts here at Apollo Blinds have got the inside scoop on what’s going to be hot in the new year.
It’s all about crafting spaces that not only look incredible but that also feel uniquely yours. Read on to discover which trends that will take centre stage and how to get the look with Apollo Blinds.
WORTHWISE
Continued economic turbulence is reshaping consumers’ definition of value – with greater emphasis on furniture and furnishings that will last, versus the ‘throwaway’ fashion of the 2000s and 2010s.
Consumers in 2025 are embracing ‘worthwise’ design, a shift that prioritises sustainability, mindful consumption, and long-lasting quality over the disposable culture of fast fashion and throwaway décor.
This trend underscores the growing demand for durable, high-quality window treatments like wooden shutters, that combine functionality with timeless aesthetics. There’s a growing desire to invest in fewer, better pieces that stand the test of time—the durable construction and classic design of quality window shutters ensure they remain stylish and practical for years to come, adapting effortlessly to evolving interior trends. Crafted from high-quality materials and designed for energy efficiency, they not only enhance your home’s look but also support environmentally conscious living. With their ability to control light, privacy, and insulation, shutters embody the ethos of “buy well, buy once,” reinforcing the move away from disposable, short-lived decor solutions.
TINTOPIA
The fusion of colour to create a utopia drenched in one cohesive shade; blending floors, walls and ceilings into a single unified colour statement.
Adding window dressings, whether that be curtains, rollers or venetian blinds, carefully curated in the same colour as the walls will enhance the feeling of flow in your space and create a cosy cocoon effect that’s both warm and inviting. Another effective approach is to consider the ceiling as a ‘fifth wall’ and apply the same design treatment as the other walls in the room.
Including skirting boards and door frames—traditionally painted in contrasting white gloss—in the same colour scheme helps maintain a cohesive visual flow, reducing stark contrasts. This approach also softens the intensity, especially when using bold colours.
While surfaces tend to be plain when colour drenching, you can also achieve the look with gentle patterns. Our latest collection of Roman blinds is the perfect way to achieve a seamless, on-trend look that’s both bold and elegant. The rich textures and patterns add depth and interest without disrupting the flow of colour, enhancing the immersive effect. Whether you’re working with serene neutrals, vibrant jewel tones, or grounding earth shades, it’s easy to carry your chosen palette across every surface for a truly transformative and stylish space.
SENSESCAPING
Creating sensory experiences within homes, through our choice of fabrics, colours and technology.
In 2025, there are some standout fabrics that are coming to the fore, offering a mix of texture, craftsmanship and sustainability. Handwoven textiles and other artisanal materials are gaining traction as consumers seek authenticity and a deeper connection to the items in their homes.
Velvet curtains instantly add a touch of luxe to windows and pair brilliantly with a jewel toned décor. Natural materials like linen, jute, and wool are also on-trend. Linen window blinds are the perfect complement to earthy palettes, adding natural simplicity, warmth, and character to any room.
Fabric creates a sensory home by incorporating textures, colours, and patterns that evoke comfort and emotions, enhancing tactile, visual, and thermal sensations to influence the ambiance and experience.
NOSTALUX
The New Wave of Nostalgia influencing home décor; indulging in personalised, sentimental designs that evoke warmth and comfort.
This movement is less about mid-century or 1970s revival and more about celebrating what resonates personally—be it heirloom pieces, handmade textiles, or sentimental decor. By pairing these nostalgic touches with contemporary design, your décor scheme becomes a narrative of who you are, blending the imperfect charm of history with the polished functionality of the present.
By offering customisable options, like fabric choices that reflect personal stories or colour palettes reminiscent of cherished eras, we cater to the demand for sentimentality. This approach transforms window treatments into both functional and emotional design elements that enhance the nostalgic ambiance of a space.
DRAMADENS
The move away from open plan living to the zoning of spaces to create dens designed for diving into new Netflix series and TV dramas with an immersive, family-cinema time feel.
As we step away from the dominance of open plan living, there’s a renewed focus on creating shared spaces that are designed for relaxation and connection.
The trend reflects a deeper desire for balance between shared family moments and personal downtime, while at the same time prioritising warmth and functionality. It’s about building environments where families can bond over stories, whether on the screen or through shared experiences.
2025’s interior trends are all about blending beauty, meaning, and personal connection. From the timeless charm of Nostalux to the bold statement of colour drenching, this year is about creating deeply personal spaces that truly reflect your unique lifestyle and values. Whether you’re designing a cosy den with sensory appeal, embracing artisanal materials that tell a story, or wrapping your room in cohesive colour, the key is to personalise and make it your own.
