1. Design from the archives

Scandinavian interior design trends for 2025 are rooted in the celebration of heritage and nostalgia. We see brands delving into their design archives, breathing new life into iconic creations from the past. Craft traditions are being rediscovered, timeless classics are reissued in fresh colours and materials, and exclusive limited editions are capturing the essence of retro charm. Why the focus on past you may ask? This revival reflects a desire for familiarity and comfort during uncertain times. Expect to see a strong resurgence of designs inspired by the 60s, 70s, and 80s, reimagined with a modern Scandinavian touch that balances functionality, simplicity, and timeless beauty.

The Daystack wooden chair from &Tradition, here stacked on a podium, was first designed in 1951 by Robin Day, the retro vibes are perfectly in line with the Scandinavian interior design trends for 2025.

The Daystack chair was designed back in 1951 by Robin Day, and was picked up from the design archives by &Tradition in autumn 2024. 

2. Circular design

As some brands draw inspiration from the past, others are forging paths toward the future. Normann Copenhagen's award-winning Mat series exemplifies this forward-thinking approach. Crafted from sustainable materials like hemp and seagrass, these chairs can be re-degraded, embodying the principles of circular design. This innovation highlights the Scandinavian design trends for 2025 with the commitment to sustainability and the merging of beauty and functionality for a more conscious future.

3. A comfortable home

In 2025, comfort takes center stage in Scandinavian interior design trends. Plump, plush sofas, inviting armchairs, cosy poufs and versatile daybeds - 2025 is all about creating spaces that embrace us with warmth and relaxation. Homes will become sanctuaries of peace, prioritizing both physical and emotional comfort.

This shift reflects a more mindful approach to decorating, where material and colour choices are intentional and aligned with who we are and what we want. Above all our homes will become deeply personal spaces, nurturing well-being and reflecting who we are.

4. Tactility & material clashes

Scandinavian design in 2025 continues to celebrate tactile materials that engage the senses, offering a multi-dimensional experience of home. Velvet is making a bold return, evoking the retro elegance of the 60s, while materials like burl wood and pine are experiencing a revival. These textures bring depth and character, offering a sensory experience that begs to be touched.

5. Low-slung tables

Low coffee and side tables are a defining trend 2025, influenced by the Japandi style. Brands like GUBI and ferm LIVING offer minimalist, low-profile designs that bring both elegance and relaxation to modern interiors.

6. Metals

Metallic finishes—chrome, stainless steel, and aluminum—remain key in the Scandinavian interior design trends for 2025. These sleek materials add an industrial edge and pair beautifully with softer, natural elements, maintaining their place as a timeless design choice.

7. Chunky glass art

Kosta Boda's collaborations with Hanna Hansdotter, Iittala's new identity - 2024 invited us to fall in love once again with the heavy glass art and design we grew up with. Iittala's series by Tapio Wirkkala, the iconic Ultima Thule and the Festivo series and everyone's favourite Snowball from Kosta Boda are all examples of solid glass design that rests heavily, and beautifully, on the table.

The Festivo candlesticks from Iittala are just the thing to set the table with, according to the Scandinavian interior design trends for 2025.

8. Kitchen & tablescaping

While dining out has its charm, 2025 is all about home-cooked meals and relaxed gatherings. Playful table settings, everyday cloth napkins, stylish coffee corners, and home bars will define our interiors. Socializing at home is the focus of our Scandinavian interiors for 2025, with spaces designed to welcome both planned and impromptu visits.

9. The colours we're decorating with in 2025

In 2025, Scandinavian interior design embraces vibrant colour alongside beautiful neutrals. The palette features rich shades of purple, brown, and green, with accents of lime green, lavender, and peach. Some standout colours include:

Sky blue
After a battle between red and blue, sky blue emerges as a top choice for those wanting colour without overwhelming the space. It's a neutral yet rich tone that brings a refreshing touch to our interiors.

Harmonious brown
Pantone's 2025 Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse, taps into our desire for warmth and comfort. This rich, earthy hue promises to create soothing, harmonious spaces.

Sunny yellow
Pairing beautifully with sky blue, sunny yellow brings a warm, slightly more saturated pop of colour into the home.

Orange
Orange continues to energize interiors in 2025, now appearing in more saturated tones. Combine it with sky blue and warm browns for striking contrasts.

Greige
For a grounding neutral, grey-beige remains a staple, offering practicality, serenity, and a minimalist touch in modern homes.

10. Bohemian style

Maximalism continues to grow in popularity, with bold patterns, vibrant colours, and folk craft traditions shaping a more eclectic style. As retro vibes merge with bohemian elements, we might just see the return of bohemian interior design in 2025—embracing individuality and a carefree spirit.

11. Multifunctional design

Multifunctional furniture remains key in the Scandinavian interior design trends for 2025 as we continue to adapt our homes to ever-changing needs. From home offices that double as craft spaces for the kids to sofas that transform into daybeds or full-sized beds, flexibility is key in creating spaces that evolve with us.
