As the weather warms up and we transition into Summer 2025, a palette of vibrant yet subtle colours, along with tactile textures, are making waves in both fashion and interiors. From delicate pastels to earthy hues, from airy linens to organic weaves, the design trends defining Summer 2025 evoke emotion, elegance, and individuality.
Let’s explore these trends and discover how you can bring them to life in your own space and style.
Oceanic Influences: Bringing the Sea Indoors
Summer 2025 draws inspiration from the serenity of the sea, with interiors that feel light, calming, and deeply rooted in nature. Aquatic hues are making a splash across fashion and home design. In interiors, these refreshing tones are beautifully balanced by sandy neutrals and sun-bleached whites, capturing the easy rhythm of coastal living. This modern beach house aesthetic embraces openness and simplicity, favouring airy layouts and an abundance of natural light. Key materials such as cane, rattan, and jute introduce texture and warmth. Try slipcovers in soft blues, woven rugs, and sheer voiles to bring an effortless seaside charm indoors.

Butter Yellow: A Ray of Sunshine Indoors
Butter yellow shines as the standout shade of summer 2025 fashion and interiors, radiating warmth and understated vibrancy. In home decor, it lends a soft glow to accent walls, upholstery, and even small furniture pieces, adding a touch of sunshine to spaces.
More than just a trend, butter yellow taps into our collective desire for comfort and hope. This is a shade that doesn’t just brighten a room – it lifts the spirit.

Exuding optimism, this muted hue made headlines when Timothée Chalamet wore a butter yellow suit by Givenchy at the 2025 Oscars. Proof that soft shades can make a strong statement, both in fashion and interiors.
Pastel Revival: Soft Shades, Subtle Sophistication
Pastel colours are experiencing a sophisticated revival. Think powder pink, dusky blue and lilac – all bringing a calm, elegant touch to both interiors and wardrobes. These muted tones pair beautifully with natural materials such as linen, wood, and stone – creating a harmonious blend of colour and texture.
This pastel resurgence is also gaining cultural momentum. Sofia Coppola, renowned for her pastel aesthetic, will be the artistic director at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs’ major design event Paris this July – an occasion expected to influence global style trends. Expect to see more delicate shades on everything from home accessories to summer wardrobes.

Earthy Tones: Grounding Spaces with Natural Hues
Earthy colour palettes are grounding our homes with their rich, organic appeal. Shades like Mocha Mousse – named Colour of the Year, and calming greens such as sage and olive are dominating 2025 interior design trends.

These tones work beautifully in cosy living spaces, bedrooms, and kitchens. Use them on accent walls, upholstery, or home accessories like planters and throws. They not only bring a sense of nature indoors but also promote a feeling of stability and comfort.
