Top Autumn Interior Trends for 2025

Autumn is here, and with it comes a shift in how we live, dress, and design our spaces. The dark nights, cooler air and golden light naturally draw us indoors, and suddenly our homes become the backdrop for comfort, gatherings, and a little seasonal nostalgia. Interiors this autumn are less about hunkering down and more about creating spaces that feel both grounding and expressive, where cosiness meets quiet statement-making design.

From retro revivals to colour palettes inspired by the natural world, here’s everything you need to know about the biggest autumn home trends for 2025.

The Autumn Colour Palette

It wouldn’t be autumn without a shift in colour. This season, earthy tones are everywhere, think terracotta, olive green, and rich chocolates. But 2025 brings two standout shades worth noting.

First up, Mocha Mousse. Named Pantone’s Colour of the Year, it’s warm, soft, and instantly creates a sense of comfort. It’s the perfect grounding shade, working just as well on walls as it does through smaller details like ceramics or cushions.

On the bolder side, Cherry Red is making waves. It’s already dominated fashion runways, and now it’s slipping into interiors in a big way. Pinterest Predicts 2025 describes it as “dark, sweet and such a vibe” - and they’re right. It brings drama, depth, and a certain retro charm, especially when paired with neutrals or wood tone.

Comfort-First Furniture

Autumn is the season of staying in, and interiors are reflecting that with furniture designed for maximum comfort. Oversized sofas, deep seats and sculptural armchairs are everywhere right now, and they’re not just functional, they’re focal points.

The look is chunky, curvy, and inviting, perfect for layering with chunky knits, throws, and textured cushions. These pieces don’t just fill a room, they set the tone. Think of them as investments in both style and slow evenings at home.

A Revival of the 70's

Fashion and interiors continue to move hand in hand, and this season nostalgia is key. The 60s and 70s are making a comeback, with bold geometric shapes, playful glassware, and retro pops of colour becoming must-have design details.

It doesn’t need to feel like a time capsule, though. Instead, layer in subtle nods: a retro vase, a statement rug, or even artwork that references vintage design. This autumn is all about mixing old with new, creating spaces that feel personal, characterful, and just the right amount of nostalgic.

Wooden Kitchens with Soul

Autumn also brings us back to the kitchen, the heart of the home, where food, memories and conversations are shared. This season, wooden kitchens are having a moment, with rich oak, visible grains, and a focus on craftsmanship taking centre stage.

These kitchens aren’t meant to feel polished or perfect. Instead, they celebrate the handmade and natural, often paired with exposed beams or rustic details. It’s also the perfect setting to experiment with autumn’s colour palette, whether through painted features or simple accessories.

Embracing Autumn Trends

Autumn interiors in 2025 are about finding balance: grounding, earthy tones with bold pops of colour; comfort-first furniture that doubles as design statements; and a touch of nostalgia that makes a home feel lived-in and loved. Whether you’re updating a whole room or simply switching out accessories, it’s about creating a space that feels cosy, characterful, and ready for the season ahead.
