2025 Design Influences
A new year brings fresh perspectives to the world of design. Amid shifting political and economic landscapes, there’s a move towards more muted designs and colour schemes, driven by a sense of uncertainty. Yet, the post-COVID surge in wellness-driven design offers a delightful counterbalance, infusing commercial interior spaces with pops of colour and playful elements.
Colour Trends
Get ready for a warm, inviting 2025! Expect cosy autumn tones to dominate, with Pantone’s 2025 Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse, capturing the perfect balance between sophisticated elegance and comforting warmth. This theme is echoed by Dulux’s 2025 colour forecast for commercial interiors, which presents three palettes: Still, Recollect, and Emerge. These palettes are filled with soft, quiet tones infused with just enough warmth to align with the growing Dopamine Décor trend.
But that’s not all—2025 also marks the return of primary colour trends in commercial design. Bold splashes of red, yellow, and blue will add vibrancy to the design landscape, pushing the more muted minimalism of previous years aside.
We’re looking towards the warmth of Earth or Tea Rose for a more subdued palette, or the vibrant tones of Cucumber, Golden Sunshine, and Italian Ice for a touch of boldness, there’s a colour to suit every space. Plus, with our Dulux Colour-Matching capability, any tone is possible no matter what 2025’s trends throw at us.
Design Trends
Wellness Design continues its reign as the overarching theme in commercial design spaces, seamlessly flowing into 2025 from last year’s surge. Biophilic design, sustainable design, and accessible design are now defining the spaces we live, work, and shop in, each bringing its own unique flair.
The love for biophilic interior design grows stronger, with its emphasis on earthy tones that blend perfectly with current colour trends. Beyond just colour, biophilic spaces integrate natural light, ambient sound control, and, of course, living plants to create environments that nurture well-being.
Nature-inspired artwork and designs are an often overlooked aspect of biophilic design, but are anticipated to see increased popularity in 2025. These designs typically feature natural themes in large wall art or incorporate motifs like wood grains across surfaces.
Another exciting trend is the use of biophilic patterns that align with the rise of autumnal and muted colours. We’re thinking Acrovyn Woodgrains in warm tones like Natural Peregrine and Weathered Willow Oak—perfect materials for blending these emergent trends into commercial interiors.
Sustainability continues to play a key role in commercial interior design, with recycled and upcycled materials offering both refined aesthetics and ample opportunities for customisation.
And let’s not forget Accessible Design. The demand for spaces that cater to the mobility and comfort needs of everyone—without compromising on aesthetics—will continue to rise. In 2025, form and function will go hand in hand.
2025 is set to be a year full of bold and exciting developments in commercial interior design. It’ll be thrilling to watch how these trends evolve throughout the year. To learn more about how Construction Specialties can help bring your designs to life, explore our range of Acrovyn products below.
