2025 Design Trends: The Next Chapter
As we move into 2025, we anticipate a continuation of some 2024 trends, with an added focus on refinement, personalization, and futuristic aesthetics. Here’s a look at the predicted shifts that will influence design in the coming year:
The Cozy Revolution: Spaces Built for Comfort and Retreat
After years of focusing on minimalist, sleek designs, 2025 will see a resurgence of comfort—a much-needed retreat from the outside world. People will crave spaces that offer a sense of warmth and security, with interiors designed to make you feel cozy and embraced. Think plush textures, soft neutrals, layered rugs, oversized furniture, and plenty of pillows. In 2025, it’s less about clean lines and more about creating a sanctuary that invites relaxation, rest, and reconnection with loved ones. The lines between indoor and outdoor spaces will blur, with an emphasis on indoor plants, natural materials, and items that promote well-being, like salt lamps or soothing lighting.

Bold & Bright: Color & Wallpaper Return with a Vengeance
For years, neutral tones and soft hues dominated home interiors. But as we move into 2025, vibrant, statement-making colors and patterns are back in full force. From striking cobalt blues and zesty oranges, to wallpapers with organic botanical or location themed motifs, bold walls will flood the home in unexpected ways. The focus is on creating impact—whether that’s through a single accent wall, colorful furniture, or bold decor pieces.
This new color trend won’t be about chaotic clashing or mismatched tones; it will be about purposeful, curated color choices that reflect personality, confidence, and a zest for life. Pairing warm tones with cool colors, as well as experimenting with metallic finishes, will add depth and dimension to spaces.
How Amerelle Fits In
Amerelle’s diverse range of wallplates will perfectly complement these bold new color palettes. Think sleek metallic finishes in chrome, brushed nickel, or matte gold, paired with vivid wall colors. Our wallplates will be more than just functional—they’ll be vibrant design elements that enhance the personality of your room, adding a touch of shine and sophistication to your walls.

Retro-Futurism: Bridging Past and Future in Bold, Unexpected Ways
In 2025, expect to see the rise of a style we’re calling "retro-futurism"—a fusion of nostalgic designs from the 1960s and 1970s with futuristic, cutting-edge technologies. Imagine mid-century modern furniture paired with sleek, space-age materials and neon-infused color palettes. Retro-futurism is all about reinterpreting the past through the lens of modernity, where classic designs are revived and reimagined with futuristic materials, smart tech, and unexpected details.
This trend is characterized by a playful use of color, texture, and form. Think curved furniture, bold geometric patterns, and metallic accents, combined with smart home features like integrated lighting and voice-controlled systems. It’s a celebration of optimism and forward-thinking, bringing the best of the past into a modern context.
How Amerelle Fits In
For the retro-futurist home, Amerelle Wallplates will embrace the bold finishes and innovative features that define this trend.

Sculptural Design: Art as Function
In 2025, we’ll see an even deeper shift towards sculptural, art-inspired design in everyday objects. Functional pieces—like furniture, lighting, and yes, wallplates—will increasingly double as art. The lines between traditional design and artistic expression will blur, with shapes and materials that feel more like sculptures than utilitarian objects. Expect to see bold, organic forms, abstract designs, and unique textures in everything from cabinetry to lighting fixtures to, of course, your wallplates.
This trend will take inspiration from art movements such as Brutalism, Art Deco, and even biomorphic design, combining form with function in ways that make even the most mundane items a statement piece. As a result, the home will transform into a gallery of personal expression, where every item serves both a practical and aesthetic purpose.
How Amerelle Fits In
Amerelle Wallplates will be at the forefront of this sculptural design movement, offering more intricate and innovative designs that blur the line between art and function. With more daring finishes and unique shapes, our wallplates will become conversation starters in every room. Whether it’s a textured finish that mimics natural elements or a geometric design that stands out, Amerelle will continue to elevate wallplates into pieces of functional art.
