How to choose the interior that suits you? Tips and design trends for 2025

What makes a house a home?
Not just its walls and address. Above all, it’s the atmosphere, the place where we feel calm and comfortable, where everything reflects our tastes and needs. A home is a refuge from life’s storms, a reflection of our personality and inner world. It can tell more about us than a thousand words — about our habits, rhythm of life, dreams, and even fears.

The interior shapes our emotional background and directly affects our state of mind. It can inspire, help us relax, or, on the contrary, give us strength.

At the same time, the concept of “home” is relative. It can be an apartment, a studio flat, or even a single room. The most important thing is that the interior and colour palette reflect the individuality of its owner. Certain colours, materials, and styles are particularly well suited to different personalities.

Interior for introverts: calm, comfort and natural colours

If you are an introvert, you probably feel uncomfortable in noisy environments and value time alone. In this case, minimalism, Scandinavian style, and natural, light-filled colours are ideal choices.

Such an interior reduces anxiety, helps you focus, and gives you a sense of control over your space. Natural materials like wood, cotton, and linen are your best allies.

Decor should be minimal yet tactile: a comfortable sofa, soft armchairs, warm lighting, smooth lines, and no sharp corners. Shades of grey, beige, light green, and pastels work beautifully. Neutral tones and natural light enhance the feeling of tranquillity, while darker hues add warmth and intimacy.

For an introvert, it is important that every object has its place and that the space is divided into functional zones. Even a small studio can be visually structured with light partitions, shelves, or rugs of different textures.

Add a few plants — one or two green accents will instantly refresh the atmosphere and bring harmony to the room.

Interior for extroverts: energy, bright accents and movement

Extroverts, those who love socialising and lively gatherings, are unlikely to choose restraint and calm for their homes. They need colour and expression. Open spaces, large windows, a mix of textures, and vibrant accents are ideal for them. These elements stimulate activity, uplift the mood, and create a sense of fullness of life.

Energetic people are drawn to blue, emerald, terracotta, and sunny yellow — a colour experts call one of the highlights of 2025, and extroverts love to follow trends. The space should include contemporary art, bright posters, and functional furniture such as extendable tables, modular sofas, and convertible chairs.

Extroverts often love travelling, so they definitely need a place for souvenirs — a shelf, a console, or even an entire “wall of memories”. And don’t be afraid of bright details. An orange toaster or a red coffee machine is also part of your personality and mood.

How to emphasise individuality through interior design

It can be hard to stay within one style, especially since we all experience different moods. You can approach your space creatively: for example, make the living room bold and expressive, while keeping the bedroom calm and neutral as a place for rest and focus.

Even in a small apartment, you can design different zones with distinct atmospheres. If you want a peaceful corner, a small table, a reading lamp, and a soft blanket will do the trick. The kitchen, by contrast, can be designed in bright and lively tones.

Add items that make you smile or evoke warm memories. Let them become the starting point for your design, even if they don’t perfectly fit formal rules.

Combining works of art with children’s drawings, travel souvenirs with family heirlooms, or using bold patterns in fabrics and upholstery will help you create your unique story — a space that truly belongs to you.

Key interior trends for 2025: vintage, naturalness and emotion

Premium magazines such as Vogue, Elle Decor and House Beautiful note that in 2025 interiors are becoming not just beautiful but meaningful. The main trends are individuality, sustainability, emotional comfort, and authenticity.

Vintage remains at the centre of attention. The thirst for authenticity has reached its peak: designers are seeking items with history and a visible patina of age. According to Pinterest, searches for “vintage maximalism” have grown by 260%, and for “dreamy thrift finds” by 550% among Generation Z users.

As the world becomes increasingly chaotic, people are turning to classics, to something stable and timeless. There’s a renewed interest in natural brown furniture, and antiques are once again in vogue.

Brown, especially in rich chocolate tones, is also gaining popularity in accessories such as throws, cushions, and ceramics. Another favourite is deep wine red — it’s becoming a defining colour for interiors, embodying sensual yet restrained luxury thanks to its earthy richness.

And what is fading away? The unanimous answer: all-white interiors, so popular in recent years, are leaving the stage. People want their homes to feel alive and individual, filled with objects that have history and character. They no longer want their spaces to resemble hospital rooms — they want warmth, soul, and identity.

The combination of textures is also highly fashionable, for example, wood and metal furniture. Wallpaper is making a comeback too; unlike plain paint, it gives walls extra depth and character.

In general, people are choosing natural materials, vintage treasures, and the philosophy of “slow design”, which favours enduring style over fleeting trends.
