Kast’s Guide to Interior Design Trends for 2025
As we near 2025, interior design is seeing a shift towards comfort, warmth, and individuality. Homes are becoming sanctuaries of self-expression, blending timeless materials with innovative styles. Explore the trends shaping interiors in 2025 and how to incorporate them into bathroom design.
Curves and Arches:
Curves are predicted to continue to shape 2025’s design scene, with rounded furniture, arched doorways, and sculptural decor softening interiors and adding flow. These elements, inspired by organic modern and Mediterranean aesthetics, introduce a sense of comfort and sophistication. Incorporate a curved splashback basin such as Dune, Tilde or Elma to incorporate soft edges into bathroom designs. Alternatively, incorporate an arched tile feature to echo the curves of our Luna semi-circle basin, for a touch of drama that remains inviting.
Warm Wood Tones: Rich and Grounding
Natural finishes are making a grand return, with darker woods like mahogany, walnut, and chocolate brown setting the tone. These warm, earthy hues create depth and a sense of cocooning, while seamlessly blending contemporary and vintage accents. Pair warm, dark wood cabinetry with a richly coloured basin to achieve a balanced and grounding aesthetic.

Natural Materials and Sensorial Design
In 2025, interiors are designed to engage all the senses. From tactile textures to soothing lighting and calming scents, this trend turns homes into restorative spaces. Bathrooms, in particular, will continue to evolve as wellness retreats. With global anxieties and uncertainties, there is a growing desire to create calming, restorative spaces at home that serve as sanctuaries. Incorporate natural textures such as concrete for a tactile multi-sensory experience to embrace this trend. Earthy tones like Forest, Sage, and Wheat are soothing options for designing restorative retreats, pictured below are Kern and Lars.

Artisanal craftsmanship
Sustainability is front and centre, with a focus on artisanal craftsmanship signifying a departure from mass-produced, off-the-shelf products. There is a growing appreciation for heritage, tradition, and handmade craftsmanship as people seek authenticity, nostalgia, and the human touch in a world increasingly shaped by digital advancements and AI.
“People are prioritising beautiful materiality and conscious craftsmanship, investing in statement pieces that will be cherished for years to come.” - Amy Bartlett, Creative Director of Kast.
Mindful Maximalism
Maximalism continues to shine but with a curated twist. This trend is all about layering bold patterns, vibrant colours, and textured materials in a way that feels intentional and cohesive. Combine statement pieces with personal, meaningful decor to craft a rich, eclectic space.
Elevated Bathroom Designs
Bathrooms will continue to take centre stage in 2025 as indulgent spaces for relaxation and luxury. From spa-like steam showers to trough sinks, design is shifting toward functionality with flair. There’s a shift from sterile white tones to deeper hues such as Crimson, Brick, and Storm for a rich, cocooning effect. Dark, luxurious colour palettes, are becoming more popular, creating sophisticated, eclectic interiors inspired by the 1970s and the ambience of private members’ clubs like Soho House.
Sculptural and Architectural Fixtures
Art will become immersive in 2025, taking the form of sculptural fixtures, architectural installations, and statement lighting, blurring the line between decor and utility. Carefully curated interiors increasingly resemble inhabitable galleries, where one-of-a-kind pieces redefine boundaries between design and art. A Kast basin serves as both a practical fitting and a bold artistic statement, embodying individuality and transforming spaces into showcases of functional beauty.
The demand for personalisation in design is reflected in products like the new pedestal set to launch in 2025 and previewed at Decorex, which offers mix-and-match components for greater customisation options.
Colour Drenching: Bold and Saturated
Colour drenching is the bold design trend transforming interiors by saturating entire rooms in a single hue or closely related tones. The goal is to create a cohesive, immersive, impactful look that makes the room feel larger and more sophisticated.
Designers are opting to colour drench rooms for a multitude of reasons. Rooms drenched in one colour will immediately appear calm and restful, especially in small spaces, opting for a single hue that encompasses everything for an amplified sense of tranquillity. Consider mixing in various textures across a single hue to create greater visual interest. Design by Mia Karlsson Interior Design featuring twin Otto basins.
Beautifully Functional: Accessible Design
As the population ages and multigenerational living becomes more common, accessible design is gaining prominence. Basins Brin, Lars, and Rue are thoughtfully crafted with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines in mind, ensuring style and functionality for all ages and abilities.
