The Leading Trends From Maison et Objet 2025

Butter Yellow radiates warmth and a youthful, spring-like charm – an effortless way to brighten any home. This uplifting hue, currently making waves on the runway, is translating into interior design, much like the rich tones of Bordeaux.

“Whilst yellow may not immediately come to mind when considering an interior scheme, once seen in situ, its joyful and playful impact is undeniable,” shares Yousef. “In bathrooms, yellow ceramics, paint, wallpapers, and accessories offer an entry into the trend, whilst statement products, such as yellow vanity units, painted baths, and soft furnishings, provide an opportunity to establish the trend en masse.

When considering the overall scheme, Butter Yellow pairs beautifully with white or soft neutrals for a mellow look, black for a punchier aesthetic, or pastel blues and lilacs for a more vibrant, summery feel.”

Interior trends are moving away from the rigid lines of the past decade, once again drawing inspiration from the 1970s, where organic, free-flowing shapes emerged in furniture and accessories. This revival is tied to the rise of maximalism and a growing preference for more inviting, nature-inspired forms.

“Curved edges, scalloped shapes, and wavy lines add a playful, whimsical energy into interiors, creating a sense of fluidity and movement that makes rooms feel more relaxed,” explains Yousef. “To bring this trend into the bathroom, consider adding soft furnishings where possible, such as a cushioned, rounded armchair or stool at the foot of the bath. Alternatively, waves can be incorporated through mirrors, lighting, ceramics, wallpaper, and rugs.”

Bordeaux, with its deep and robust red wine tones, evokes a sense of luxury and opulence in interior design. According to colour theory, this shade is associated with warmth and comfort, as well as drama and theatrics – translating into depth and richness that make spaces feel both intimate and powerful.

“Having faded in and out of Vogue over the years, deep red hues are once again at the forefront of fashion, now seamlessly melding into the world of interior design,” says Yousef. “This dark-cherry palette pairs beautifully with warm metallics, marble, natural wood, and punchy black accents.”

Named as the Pantone Colour of The Year 2025, Mocha Mousse is described as a ‘warming brown hue imbued with richness, nurturing with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee and answering our desire for comfort.’

This coffee tone is predicted to dominate all areas of design over the next year, less typical than beige or grey though still firmly rooted in the neutral palette.

“Mocha Mousse is a wonderful choice for emitting warmth and refined luxury in the bathroom, more so when creating a spa-like environment that calls for an unfussy backdrop,” says Yousef. “This trend is seen across furniture, ceramics, and soft furnishings, as well as wall paint and tiles – it’s a truly versatile colourway.”

Handmade and artisan glass is regaining its place in interior design. Structured, pitted, seeded, or bubbled – melded glass textures and patterns are favoured for their natural imperfections. This trend looks back to the early 20th century, when textured glass was a defining feature of the Art Deco movement, often used in doors, partitions, and decorative panels with geometric patterns and frosted effects. Today, these rich textures bring character to modern interiors.

“For a simple bathroom refresh, this trend can be introduced through glass tables, shelving, lighting, and decorative accessories,” shares Yousef. “For a full bathroom redesign or a more substantial upgrade, consider specifying glass-fronted vanity units or glass brassware handles – both visually delicate yet durable in function.”

Amber, gold, and orange hues – primarily in glassware, mirrors, and lighting – have seen a strong resurgence throughout the home. Reminiscent of the 1970s, their rich, warm tones add depth and sophistication to any space whilst evoking a nostalgic, vintage charm.

“In the bathroom, I find amber most striking in glass form, placed near a light source where it can produce a beautiful, earthy glow,” says Yousef. “Vases, lamp shades, and small accessories are a simple way to introduce this trend to existing spaces, best complemented with wood, stone, and neutral tones.”
