2025 Interior Design Will Bring the Outdoors Into the Home

As we move into the cooler months and look forward to 2025, it is clear that one trend has been shadowing over the rest when it comes to interior design - nature. Bringing the soothing aspects of nature into the home has become a popular interior design goal and many manufacturers have started adjusting their offerings to fit this trend. Many have heard of the rising biophilic design trend and it appears to be here to stay!

“Biophilic design is a concept used within the building industry to increase occupant connectivity to the natural environment through the use of direct nature, indirect nature, and space and place conditions.” - Wikipedia.org

Nature can be represented within the home in various ways - color palette, furniture, wall decor and more. Warm colors with natural finishes create a feeling of serenity. Just take a look at some of the annual color picks from popular paint organizations: Sherwin Williams’ Upward (a breezy blue), Pantone’s Mocha Mousse (an earthy brown), AkzoNobel’s True Joy (a bright sunshiny yellow). Each of these invoke a sense of being outdoors and are incredibly complementary to natural wood tones.

Wooden elements help to connect those inside with the natural beauty of the outdoors which is likely why interior designers have begun showcasing wood once again. Osborne Wood Products, Inc. is happy to be able to offer a large amount of component solutions that are perfect for those aiming to create a relaxing environment. Wooden table legs and kitchen island posts are available in virtually any profile guaranteeing you will find something that fits into your current space. Moulding and trim can be added to surfaces for a decorative touch while also enhancing the natural aesthetic. Decorative wooden corbels can be used to add support to overhangs or elevate the look of shelving solutions. All of the wooden items are sanded and unfinished, allowing you to prioritize the actual tones of the wood with clear finishes or add the inviting color of your choice.

Even more, flora and lively decor have started to populate the once-popular minimalist space. These add texture to the flat boxiness of a home’s makeup. Various methods of incorporating texture have taken over the market, including the rise of tambour panels. These flexible designs turn any flat surface into a three-dimensionally patterned work of art. They can be applied to flat or curved surfaces and will create stunning texture while still showcasing the wood material.

It is also important to notice the shift from straight lines to curved elements. Interesting archways and wall shapes are being incorporated into homes which also bode well for wooden items. Wooden products are naturally full of wavy patterns and help contribute to a sense of movement. There are also various turnings that feature inviting twists and curves, such as this Double Twist Island Leg from Osborne.

Adding elements such as this throughout the home creates a uniqueness that will differentiate the interior from other modern designs.

On top of leaning into a natural aesthetic, this shift in interior design also stems from a focus on the importance of sustainability. Eco-friendly living is becoming a more common priority for many homebuyers which has led into a surge in wooden furniture. Renovating old furnishings with new components also allows for less waste and can be a great start to a new sustainable lifestyle.

Ultimately, it is clear that interior design will continue to focus on more natural, sustainable solutions into 2025. Incorporating wooden elements is a great way to achieve that natural look while also creating an eco-friendly space.
