7 Spring Trends Designers Are Loving For 2025

2025.04.15

Spring is the perfect time to give your interiors a refresh, and we're not just talking about cleaning here. We say take advantage of any inspiration you glean from the slow shift to longer days and warmer weather and make some small updates to your interior decor.

And if you're feeling like leaning into some spring 2025 design trends in the process, here's what the professionals are recommending to their clients these days.

Sculptural Lighting as Statement Pieces

This spring, Designer Laetitia Laurent has been gravitating more towards lighting that doubles as functional artwork. She's been noticing organic shapes, unexpected materials, and oversized proportions that command attention dominating the lighting industry.

Sculptural lighting draws attention upward and can make a major impact on a room as a whole.

"A well-placed sculptural pendant or asymmetrical sconce can shift the entire mood of a space, creating depth and visual intrigue," she says. "It’s an easy way to introduce a curated, collected feel without overwhelming a room."

Wallpapered Ceilings

While statement walls have fallen out of fashion, statement ceilings are very much trending.

We've already seen painted ceilings make a comeback, but designer Lucy Small says it's wallpaper's turn. According to her, a ceiling is an ideal spot for a wallpapered accent, since these features look best when outlined by a clear area, such as a coffered or tray ceiling.

If you're ready to try out this trend, Small encourages you to stray a little outside your comfort zone in terms of the pattern.

"Many people still shy away from wallpaper because they're worried they'll get sick of it in a few years, but I think with this trend, you have to go big and bold," Small says. "The louder the wallpaper, the nicer the wallpapered ceiling will be."

Skirted Ceilings

While we're on the topic of ceilings, Small offers another spring design trend she's noticed while looking up: skirted ceilings. These timeless yet trendy ceilings show off color that bleeds onto the walls and stops at a piece of trim. Small says skirted ceilings can take on a different look or role depending on your home's age.

"In a modern home, a skirted ceiling can give a room a color-blocked funky look," she says. "In an older home, it could be a classic way to make shorter ceilings look taller."

The Color Butter Yellow

Soft, buttery yellows have been dominating the fashion industry this spring, and designer Melanie Bryant has also noticed it making its way into interiors lately.

"There is a special warmth and softness that exudes from incorporating this joyful color," she says.

If you're not ready to paint an entire room this hue, Bryant recommends adding it to your home accessories, whether that's through textiles or artwork.

A New Take on Florals and Vines

Most of us have been there and done that with spring florals. But this year, interior designers are finding new ways to incorporate blossom and vine prints into their designs.

"Florals for spring may not be groundbreaking, but this season, they’re taking on a looser, more painterly quality," says Laurent. "Think less structured patterns and more organic, hand-drawn interpretations."

She suggests incorporating this whimsical take on florals via delicate botanical wallpaper in a powder room, bold tropical wallpaper on a larger wall, or abstract floral fabric on an oversized chair.

"These motifs bring a sense of movement and softness without feeling overly traditional," she says. "It’s about reinterpreting nature in a way that feels fresh and effortless."

More Color Than Ever

This spring, Bryant says it's time to exit the sad beige era. “Bold pops of bright colors are on the horizon, making interiors fun and personal," says Bryant.

In fact, Bryant is daring her clients to incorporate bright colors into the bones of their homes through tile and paint. But if you've got commitment issues, a set of colorful hand towels will also do the trick.
