“As we step into 2025, designers and architects we spoke with say warm, human-centric spaces will be underscored by sustainability. They want to continue examining the carbon footprint of materials, favoring locally sourced, nontoxic, and plant-based options that, in many ways, are a better alternative to excessive marble or faux finishes—what one architect calls “junk food.” Mass-timber construction and bio-innovations, too, will lend to shaping a new era of design.” – Dwell Magazine

“In 2025, designers will also likely continue to move away from sterile, tech-heavy spaces, and instead favor earthy elements such as terra-cotta, wood, and other design features that reflect the natural world.” – Dwell Magazine

Top three takeaways for the lumber industry are:

  • Warm, Earthy Interiors: Designers are moving away from sterile, tech-heavy spaces, favoring earthy elements that reflect the natural world. This includes the use of materials like terra-cotta and wood to create spaces that feel like a “visual hug.”
  • Sustainable Materials: There’s a strong focus on sustainability, with the use of locally sourced, nontoxic, and plant-based materials. Innovative approaches such as mass-timber construction are also highlighted.
  • Vibrant Color Palettes: While earthy tones are prominent, vibrant hues like bold yellows and rich burgundies are expected to add unique character to spaces.

In summary, 2025 design trends are set to prioritize warm, nature-inspired interiors using sustainable materials, with wood playing a significant role in creating these inviting spaces.
