Welcome to 2025, where interior design trends are proving two things: everything old is new again, and handcrafted furniture is officially having its “main character” moment. This year’s design buzzwords include moody wood tones, biophilic vibes, and right in the middle of it all? The kind of artisanal craftsmanship Homewood is known for. Here is some insight into five top design trends for 2025!
Moody Wood Tones
Darker woods bring an elegant warmth and cosiness to any space, adding a unique character and a hint of sophistication to a room. According to Vogue Australia, warm and darker toned timbers are here to stay. The key to nailing this trend is balance—layer darker woods with soft textures like velvet or wool for a look that feels both dramatic and approachable. We have a hunch that this is the year that Blackwood officially has its moment!

Sustainability and Greener Luxury
Sustainability continues to dominate the design conversation, with homeowners increasingly choosing materials that are eco-friendly and long-lasting. This trend isn’t just about reducing your carbon footprint; it’s about celebrating quality craftsmanship and materials that age beautifully. At Homewood we stay on trend or in this case, we’ve been ahead of it for years. By joining forces with the Working for Water Programme, we craft our eco-friendly furniture from alien-invasive timber, not only contributing to the welfare of our planet by clearing local waterways but also supporting our community by generating long-term employment opportunities.

Biophilic Design
With an emphasis on connecting with the natural world, biophilic design continues to flourish. The biophilic trend goes beyond simply adding houseplants to your decor. It’s about creating a connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, incorporating natural elements like stone, wood, and greenery into the very fabric of the home. Floor-to-ceiling windows, indoor gardens, and living walls are becoming common design features, while soft, organic shapes mimic the effortless curves found in nature. This trend promotes wellness and calm, making it a favourite for bedrooms, living rooms, and even home offices. Handcrafted pieces, with their organic lines and natural textures, perfectly enhance these tranquil, nature-inspired spaces.

Artisanal and Handcrafted Pieces
Mass-produced decor is taking a backseat to artisanal craftsmanship that tells a story. In 2025, it’s all about investing in unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that bring a sense of authenticity and heritage to a home. This is what we at Homewood are all about, creating custom handcrafted furniture that is unique to you. From the wood to custom weaves and fabrics, every piece is one-of-a-kind.

Personalised Interiors
This year, homes are getting more personal. Forget clichéd decor—2025 is about creating spaces that reflect you. This could mean mixing heirloom pieces with contemporary finds, displaying personal art collections, or customising furniture to fit your exact needs and tastes. The result? Spaces that feel uniquely yours, filled with character and charm.

2025’s design trends are bold, unapologetic, and refreshingly human. In a year where design is focused on sustainability, individuality, and emotional connection, handcrafted furniture stands as the ultimate expression of this.
At Homewood, we take pride in creating pieces that are not only functional but also deeply meaningful, designed to be in your home for decades to come.
