2025 home furnishing trends

Sick of that old couch? Want to kick that love seat to the curb? Is the dining room seriously in need of a new table and chair set? It’s time to start thinking about fresh furnishings for your home and putting your finger on the pulse of furniture drifts for 2025, the experts say.

“Staying current with home furnishing trends allows homeowners to refresh their space in a way that feels modern and functional,” says David Nizgoda, owner of Half Price Furniture in Las Vegas. “These trends can help elevate your home’s aesthetic appeal, increase its value, and ensure it remains adaptable to modern lifestyles.”

Even if your furnishings remain functional, red flags like worn-out textures, fading colors, outdated styles or uncomfortable seating are indicators that it’s time for replacements.

“If your furniture no longer fits your lifestyle or you notice it feels out of place in your current space, now is a good opportunity to refresh and invest in pieces that align with current trends or personal needs,” adds Nizgoda.

Alex Locklear, an interior designer and founder of NC Cash Homebuyers, agrees.

“Don’t just focus on the style and look of a piece. Make sure to pay attention to the wear and tear of your existing furniture and any changes in your lifestyle or needs that may require different types of furniture,” Locklear says. “I recommend changing up your furnishings every five to seven years, regardless of the condition, to keep your home fresh and updated.”

Ask Pam Hutter, an award-winning architect and designer, and she’ll tell you that 2025 is all about natural and organic styles.

“Reclaimed wood, bamboo and rattan furniture with soft, natural fabrics like cotton and linen are increasingly popular, as are oval and rounded shapes and lighter wood tones. Minimalist and clutter-free spaces are key, as well. And bright whites and earthy, natural colors are in demand,” she says.

Nizgoda seconds many of those sentiments.

“For 2025, we are seeing more organic, nature-inspired shapes and materials with softer, muted earth tones — such as sage green, clay, and terra-cotta — as well as natural wood finishes and recycled fabrics,” he continues.

Multifunctional furniture, including coffee tables that double as storage and desks that convert into dining tables, is also becoming more popular among consumers.

When shopping for furniture, consider the fabrics and finishes.

“Textured fabrics such as boucle and chunky knits add depth and coziness, while metallic accents in brass and gold add a touch of luxury,” explains Jonathan Faccone, an interior designer and the founder of Halo Homebuyers.

Locklear, meanwhile, says rooms today should emphasize quiet luxury and warm wood tones.

“For instance, furniture with a sleek design and clean lines will be popular. Neutral colors like beige, cream, and gray will dominate, along with warmer accents and rust and terra-cotta tones,” says Locklear.

As for furnishings and trends to steer clear of, avoid harsh geometric lines and monochromatic color schemes, Nizgoda recommends.

“While clean lines won’t disappear completely, the trend is moving away from spaces that feel cold and impersonal. Instead, people are looking for more warmth, comfort, and individuality in their homes,” he says. “Heavy, dark wood furniture and oversized sectional sofas that dominate the room are also losing demand — replaced by lighter pieces that balance function and style.”

Additionally, keep away from “matchy-matchy” furniture sets in the same color or pattern.

“This can make a space look outdated and lack personality,” Faccone continues. “Avoid the all-white and minimalistic aesthetic because it can make a space feel cold and sterile. Go for a mix of textures and colors to add visual interest and create a cozy atmosphere, such as mixing different wood finishes or pairing a bold print with a neutral color.”

Above all, be careful not to choose trendy pieces that won’t last or match your style.

“Find high-quality staples in versatile, classic styles,” Hutter advises. “And remember that while trends come and go, sustainable choices that suit your needs will stand the test of time.”
