At the latest edition of the Intergift Fair, held from 5 to 8 February at IFEMA Madrid, which attracted over 17,000 professional visitors and 900 exhibiting firms, the decorative innovations shaping 2025 were unveiled. One thing is clear: the new trends combine sustainability, functionality and aesthetics.

This 85th edition of Intergift was organised into three main thematic areas: Textile Editors, showcasing over 160 leading international brands in textile design and wallpapers; Home&Deco, spread across two pavilions, presenting trends in furniture and high-end decoration; and the Gift section, highlighting innovative and designer gift items. Additionally, a series of activities were held at the Speaker's Corner, covering topics like sustainability in interior design and new technologies applied to decoration.

Most of this year's trends are a natural progression of the proposals seen in 2024 and even 2023, continuously consolidating and adapting to current needs. However, the incorporation of futuristic and surrealist design elements, influenced by advances in artificial intelligence and a reinterpretation of 1920s art, is becoming increasingly prominent. This trend is reflected in decorative objects with fluid and metallic shapes, adding an innovative and artistic touch to spaces. Below, we present the 10 most notable trends to refresh your home this year:

Natural and sustainable materials

Ecological awareness continues to grow, encouraging the use of materials like recycled wood, natural fibres such as rattan, raffia, wicker and bamboo, as well as natural stone. These elements add warmth and authenticity to spaces, creating a connection between the interior of the home and nature – a theme that will be central to nearly every interior design project.

Natural materials such as raffia, rattan, wicker and wood, as well as handcrafted pieces, continue to set trends.

Earth colours and warm tones

While some still favour introducing vibrant pops of brighter, more cheerful colours, brown, ochre and terracotta tones are taking centre stage, paired with beige, cream and stone hues to evoke serenity and comfort. We will also see accents in deep blue and various shades of green, aiming to create balanced and inviting environments.

Curved and organic shapes

Round, curved and soft lines continue to dominate, increasingly appearing in furniture and architectural elements, inspired by natural forms. This feature adds fluidity and harmony, softening spaces and making them feel more welcoming.

Multifunctional spaces

Home adaptability has become essential, especially since Covid. Solutions are being sought that allow rooms to be transformed according to needs, such as modular furniture or multifunctional areas that optimise the available space.

Long live rich and varied textures!

The combination of materials like velvet, linen, wool and textured finishes adds depth and visual richness. These textures, used in textiles, coverings and furniture, enhance the sensory experience of the home.

Moulding frames and architectural details

Building on the previous section on textures, moulding frames on walls and ceilings is making a strong comeback, adding elegance and character while creating dynamic, interrupted spaces. Whether in classic or contemporary styles, these structural details enhance the personality of a room.

Sculptural lighting

As has become a trend in recent years, lamps have evolved from being merely functional objects to becoming true focal points in rooms, particularly large ones. Many now resemble works of art – sculptures suspended from the ceilings – that add a touch of style and transform the space.

Renewed Art Deco style

As we saw in 2024, the opulence and glamour of Art Deco are making a comeback, reimagined with modern twists. Furniture featuring bronze, marble and velvet finishes, along with geometric patterns, helps create sophisticated and luxurious spaces.

Unique handcrafted pieces

Another trend that has persisted, particularly over the last couple of years, is the growing popularity of artisanal and natural products. Unique handmade pieces are highly valued, helping to create spaces and corners with their own personality, where each element tells its own story.

Integration of technology and design

Home automation and smart devices are increasingly integrated into homes, seamlessly blending with the décor. From adjustable lighting systems to furniture with built-in technological features, innovation is enhancing both comfort and aesthetics.
