The 5 Most Eye-Catching Trends from Salone 2025
From fashion crossovers to unexpected material pairings
This year’s Salone brought fresh inspiration from designers pushing boundaries. The mood? Imaginative, tactile, and emotionally resonant. These are five standout trends shaping the world of interiors in 2025.
Fashion Designers Enter the Home Space
Luxury brands are designing for how we live
Names like Louis Vuitton and The Row launched their first-ever home lines, joining Ralph Lauren Home and Hermès. These collections blur the line between fashion and interiors, offering pieces with couture-level materials and styling. Think homes that feel like wardrobes—tailored, intentional, and utterly refined.
Why this matters now
The fashion-to-home crossover is about storytelling. These brands know how to craft a mood and build a world—skills now translated into linens, furniture, and lighting. For buyers, it’s a way to bring brand identity home in a new dimension.
Retrofuturism Makes a Comeback
The past reimagined for the future
Designers like Studio Fezza leaned into mirrored materials, sculptural chrome, and nostalgia-tinted palettes. Retrofuturism isn’t just a throwback. It’s a way to bring glamor and memory into the modern home, with interiors that feel both familiar and fresh.
Designers are rethinking nostalgia
It’s not about copying mid-century anymore. Instead, it’s about emotion—honoring the past while adding unexpected twists. Soft pink textures meet steel beams, plush rugs meet gallery-style minimalism. It’s retro with rebellion.
Mocha Is the New Neutral
From latte tones to lacquered browns
Mocha mousse tones took center stage. Velvet, ceramic, and lacquer finishes in soft brown tones brought warmth to formal settings. These neutrals are rich but understated—ideal for layering and grounding other bold design choices.
Why designers love it
Mocha pairs beautifully with metallics, creamy whites, and even dusty pinks. It’s the brown that doesn’t feel heavy. Arlene Angard’s spaces showed how to use it in luxe lounges, mixing it with textural accents for subtle drama.
Organic Shapes Reign Supreme
Furniture that flows, not follows
From melted glass to curved wood to sculptural wall art, organic forms were everywhere. Maria Lomanto’s vignette with glass shards above a marble fireplace captured this perfectly. Shapes feel fluid and alive, giving rooms movement and soul.
It’s nature, interpreted
These aren’t literal forms from nature—but they evoke it. Think eroded edges, water-smooth curves, or irregular symmetry. The result? Rooms that feel more handmade and connected to the human experience.
Unexpected Material Pairings
Mixing textures in bold new ways
Matchy-matchy is over. Studio London Co. spotlighted juxtapositions like ceramic backs on plush chairs, ombré upholstery, and metallics paired with knits. These combinations feel personal, eclectic, and intentionally unpolished.
Why it’s sticking
People want their homes to reflect their identities—not just trends. This mix-and-match look supports that. When done well, it feels collected over time, not curated in a day. The key is embracing contrast and letting materials speak to one another.
