Mabley Handler’s Austin Handler says he is noticing a bit of fatigue in terms of being told what is “hot” in the design world right now—especially in terms of color—and we anticipate 2025 to be a big year for enthusiasts and collectors to invest more thoughtfully and boldly in furniture that will lead to richer, more personal interiors. While showrooms and social media can offer furniture trend inspiration to help us create beautiful spaces, our panel of design experts all spoke to greater emphasis on furnishings that make the consumer feel good, leading to wiser investments in pieces that will have some serious staying power.

And as Gen Z and Millennials become more sustainability savvy and wellness-focused, we anticipate an even greater shift this year towards the use of recycled and reclaimed materials, organic fabrics, and non-toxic finishes on the furniture market. That said, this year is revving up to be an exciting year for furniture design, the vintage and antique market, and for designers themselves to create more meaningful and healthier homes for their clients, thanks to these seven impactful furniture trends for 2025.

Mixing pieces of various periods and influences

Karen Abell, founder of Patina Collection she is noticing a purchasing trend that is more focused on reflecting one’s authentic style than she has seen in the past.

“Whether it is a statement 18th-century cabinet, an aged farm table, or an antique mirror that whispers of another time, there is a collective shift toward history-infused interiors that tell a story,” says Abell. “I especially love seeing younger generations, like my own 26-year-old daughter, embracing this idea: blending antiques with modern pieces to create something uniquely their own.”

Abell says that a home built on authenticity is a timeless one, and she is excited to see more enthusiasts of all ages experiment with furnishings of different periods, textures, and influences to create uniquely beautiful dwelling spaces that will in turn inspire others to do the same.

Utilizing pieces with soft, sculptural lines that inspire tranquility

Brigette Romanek is really leaning into to feminine silhouettes and nature’s most decadent materials right now to create pieces that evoke wellness and restoration, as highlighted in her dreamy new furniture and decor collection for Crate & Barrel. The designer says she paired organic textures with playful curves against a soothing palette to help people create retreat-like, restorative spaces with ease throughout their homes.

“I’m loving designs that feel both sculptural and soft right now,” says Romanek. “There’s a real appreciation for pieces with organic curves, cozy textures, and a bit of playfulness — things that are comfortable but still make a statement. Clients are drawn to furniture that feels personal and expressive, but also grounding.” She adds, “I think we’re all looking for designs that help us exhale when we walk into a room, and that starts with pieces that have warmth and soul.”

Playing with pattern

While patterned wallpaper is everywhere right now, artist and textile designer Teil Duncan Henley says that she anticipates pattern play on furniture to become a prominent aspect of creating a layered home in 2025.

“I hope to see the design community continue to lean into celebrating pattern as a storytelling tool that makes spaces truly come alive,” she says.

Upholstery in particular can zhuzh up the blandest of headboards, while a new slipcover in a chic pattern can give a worn-out sofa a vibrant next chapter. Designer Cece Bowman also notes that she is seeing greater demand for decorative painting, such as stylized floral designs, on wood furniture, to add depth and personality to a space.

Henley says that so long as people are mixing color, pattern, and texture with an intentional approach, they will find more pleasure in their interiors. She adds that this allows them to stray from the extremes of minimalism and maximalism for more curated, expressive, and personal homes that don’t feel so intimidating to the eye.

Shopping small and local

According to the American Society of Interior Designers’ (ASID) 2025 Trends Outlook report, there is a continued interest, especially among Gen Z and Millennials, in prioritizing shopping small and local for furniture and beyond. Whether you live in a city ripe with incredible antiques, vintage, and local furniture vendors or you have to rely on online names such as Etsy, 1stDibs, and Chairish to do your design heavy lifting, we’re excited to see these generations prioritize the creatives in their own neighborhoods and those who don’t always get the spotlight they deserve in order to create one-of-a-kind homes with richness and vibrancy. This will also allow consumers to better support artisans and their crafts.

“This generation’s commitment to shopping small and local will undoubtedly shift the residential design market by fueling demand for artisan-crafted goods, regional materials, and bespoke furnishings,” says ASID Allied’s Veronica Sanders. “In 2025 and beyond, we can expect an even greater appreciation for locally sourced textiles, custom millwork, and handcrafted decor—elements that add soul and individuality to a home. This shift will also push larger brands to adopt more transparent, ethical sourcing practices to remain relevant.”

Going all in on canopy beds

“Lofty, soft beds are in!” rejoices Cece Bowman. And she’s not the only one to say it. Designers Joy Moyler and Stephanie Sabbe recently told VERANDA that they are seeing more demand for decadent bed hangings to create cozier, richer sleep spaces. We also recently swooned over Betsy Berry’s dreamy four poster bed adorned with cream linen drapery in the 2025 Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach.

Whether you’re looking to add more pattern, texture, or depth to your sleep space, investing in a timeless canopy bed (and beautiful bed hangings) is a fail-safe way to do so. Plus, with the right drapery material, you can ensure a much-needed nap at any time of day no matter how much light drenches into your bedroom.

Seeing sustainability as an essential component of timeless style

The 2025 ASID Trend Outlook also noted that many residential clients are seeking to fill their homes with pieces made from reclaimed or recycled materials, while the secondhand luxury market reached a whopping $47 billion in 2023. Whether clients are seeking accessibility, exclusivity, or both, leaning into furnishings that are either purchased on the vintage or antique market or are made from thoughtful materials are primed to become more prominent in 2025 and beyond.

Considering that Americans are throwing out furniture at alarming rates (we tossed more than 12 million tons of it in 2018, according to the EPA!), this trend towards a more circular economy in interior design is something we can all rally behind in order to protect the future of our planet.

“For designers and clients alike, this means moving beyond trend- driven consumption and investing in pieces that withstand both time and taste evolution,” says Sanders. “Whether reimagining a home or starting fresh, the focus is on adaptable, enduring design choices: heirloom-quality furniture, natural materials, and a commitment to restoration over replacement. The result? Interiors that aren’t just aesthetically lasting but also reduce waste and promote responsible consumption.”

Pro tip: When it comes to shopping new items through a sustainable lens, Sanders advises looking out for third-party certifications such as FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) for wood and Cradle to Cradle for overall brand sustainability. She also advises seeking out materials like reclaimed wood, recycled metals, and non-toxic finishes when buying new.
