The Salone del Mobile trade fair is always a source of fresh inspiration and cutting-edge design insights. This year’s edition offered a particularly exciting look into the future of interiors. From earthy tones to surprising textures and sculptural shapes, the event highlighted the directions that will define premium living spaces in 2025. Here are the key takeaways every architect and design-conscious client should keep in mind.
The colors of 2025: a return to nature
The collections presented at Salone del Mobile clearly pointed to a return to nature as the core of interior aesthetics. Among the season’s leading colors are soft, muted greens like moss green. Warm browns are also taking center stage, especially mocha mousse, named Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025.
Stronger tones such as rosso Milano and terracotta—combining earthy red with deep brown – also made a strong impression. Ochre, a warm shade between yellow and brown, was widely used across upholstery, finishes, and wall paint. These tones are perfect for creating calm, grounded interiors that feel warm and welcoming.
Materials to watch: stone, chrome, and wood
Natural finishes dominated this year’s fair. Chrome stood out with its mirror-like shine, perfect for adding a modern accent to glamour-inspired or industrial interiors. Heavily textured fabrics, especially chunky knits, were another highlight. These work beautifully as upholstery or soft accessories and bring depth and softness to both rustic and minimalist spaces.
Wood remains a top material choice, with walnut and other dark woods leading the trend. Furniture that emphasizes the natural grain and texture is particularly desirable, adding authenticity and character to the design.
Travertine also emerged as a favorite for 2025. This natural stone, available in a wide range of earthy tones, works well for countertops, decorative tables, or even flooring. Its versatility and understated elegance make it ideal for sophisticated yet approachable interiors.
Curves in focus
One of the strongest style statements for the coming year is the use of rounded, organic forms. Curved sofas, circular tables, and soft silhouettes dominated the show. These shapes introduce a sense of fluidity and comfort into any room. A sofa with a rounded backrest or an oval ottoman can instantly soften the geometry of a space and encourage a more relaxed atmosphere.
