By Alyson Jackson, VP of designQ at Qualico | Presented by Musgrave Agencies

Design is more than aesthetics—it’s how we tell our story without saying a word. The colours we choose, the materials we surround ourselves with, the way our spaces function—all of it reflects how we live, what we value, and who we are becoming.

Over my 20-year journey in interior design, I’ve watched trends come and go. But the ones that truly leave an impression are those that tap into the emotional side of home—how it feels to be there, and how it supports the way we live. In 2025, that connection between lifestyle and design is stronger than ever.

This year, we’re seeing a beautiful evolution in home design—one that prioritizes mood, meaning, and personal expression. Whether you’re dreaming up your forever home, refreshing a single room, or working with a builder like Musgrave Agencies to bring your vision to life, these trends can serve as a compass to help you design a space that feels uniquely yours.

Over the next five weeks, we’ll be diving deep into the five defining interior design trends of 2025:

🔹 Interior Design Trends 2025

A joyful look into the design trends that make home "home".

🔹 Quiet Luxury

Explore how understated elegance, timeless materials, and quality craftsmanship are redefining modern sophistication.

🔹 Organic Modern

Discover the power of nature-inspired textures and minimalist lines that bring warmth and tranquility into the heart of your home.

🔹 Epic Nostalgia

We’ll revisit iconic styles from decades past and show you how to reimagine them with fresh energy and purpose.

🔹 Dark Academia

This moody, romantic aesthetic blends vintage charm with intellectual depth—perfect for layered, meaningful spaces.

🔹 Dopamine Decor

Expect bold colour, joyful details, and design that puts your personality front and center. If it makes you smile, it belongs.

Each of these trends reflects a different facet of how people want to feel at home in 2025—whether it’s calm, comfort, joy, or connection. And while they each have a unique aesthetic, what unites them is intention. These aren’t trends for the sake of being trendy—they’re ideas to help you create spaces that resonate with how you live.

In the weeks ahead, I’ll guide you through each one in its own dedicated blog post—sharing design insights, inspiration, and ways to make the trends work for your lifestyle and home.

So whether you’re building new, renovating, or just love staying ahead of the curve in home design, stay tuned. The next chapter—Quiet Luxury—is coming soon.

Let’s create something beautiful together.
