Dunelm's top interior design trends for 2025

30926652

Maximalism

Maximalism is about unleashing your creativity and bringing joy to everything around you, day in and day out. Bold pattern combinations of florals, checks and geometrics set the tone with a bright joyous colour palette that holds everything together.

Don’t mistake Maximalism for having loads of stuff, it’s about mixing and matching florals, layering key pieces and storytelling throughout your home, and ultimately doing things your own way. Dunelm’s new collaboration with Sophie Robinson is all about that.

Minimaluxe

The interiors world has witnessed the evolution of “minimalism” into a richer, more luxurious iteration. The goal is quiet luxury – simplicity with a sense of sophistication.

Minimaluxe focuses on creating spaces that are pared down yet warm, elegant, and inviting. Gloriously tactile textures, in a palette of warm neutrals, with hints of caramel and gold, complete the look. Introducing softer forms and round edges to avoid a space feeling overly stark

The Edit

Built on the philosophy that having fewer thoughtfully designed and well-made things helps us leave a lighter imprint on the earth. Interior design is shifting to be inspired by the natural world, and all its perfect imperfections.

Take Dunelm’s The Edited Life collection , it focuses on natural materials like wicker, jute and linens – as well as décor pieces and hand-thrown pottery vessels that feature forms dictated by the artisan’s mark. Soft relaxed fabric textures mixed with uneven wood grains help bring this neutral, look together.

New Nouveau

Blending 19th century inspired maximalism with a contemporary colour palette this collection takes inspiration from the ornamental art form from the Nouveau era. Rich and luxurious, blending a little bit of history with a more modern aesthetic you can mix and layer into your home.

Stylised Lily motifs adorn sumptuous textiles and wallpapers mixed with marbling & stained glass vintage style lighting for a vintage inspired look, with a modern twist.
