Interior Design Trends in the USA

This article investigates the seven defining movements that are reshaping the American interior, with the backing of designer insights, scientific research, and trade data.

1. Chromatic therapy

The psychology of color has seeped into heartfelt interiors since its long-use date. Color drenching: full-floor and beyond. Goodbye accent walls, and welcome fully immersive monochromaticism in 2025.

From simple wall-to-ceiling continuity, this trend has sped towards layering textiles, furnishings, and lighting peculiarly with intervention for tonal articulation.
Deeply moody hues like oxblood, aubergine, or teal were popularized on TikTok under the trend of “moody drenching,” creating cocoon-y glamour bedrooms.

Add libraries in places to ameliorate visual noise and enhance emotional safety of interior design. Phillip Thomas Vanderford of Studio Thomas James said, It is a visceral reaction to sterile pandemic-era spaces – layering velvet, plaster, and lacquer all in one hue creates depth without cacophony.

Earth Meets Jewel

The color opposition is summarized into two broad families:

Earthy neutrals: terracotta, ochre, and sage instill a sense of grounding (Fresco Urbain by Benjamin Moore)
Jewel tones: emerald and sapphire give dopamine a boost (Brinjal by Farrow & Ball)

The 2025 NKBA report indicates that 71% of designers now specify kitchens with color rather than an all-white scheme. ASID quotes neurological studies linking sage green to an 18% lowering of cortisol levels, while emerald fosters creative cognition.

2. Material Drenching

Started by Jake Arnold, this practice merges ceilings, walls, and floors with only one, organic texture, like cork, plaster, or woven grass, into the integrated material-eccentric design.

The newly stated indoor rooms built with these same kinds have just changed from color drenching to some extent incomplete. For example, Milan Design Week 2025 already featured the exhibition installation of “Casa Cork,” an entire house demonstrating the acoustic and thermal properties of corks.

Sustainable Textures

Reclaimed Wood: 48% increase in demand for barnwood-clad offices.
Mycelium Fabric: Upholstery made from mushrooms (shown at Alcova Milano).
Hand-Spun Clay: Artisanal vessels that serve also as air-purifying humidifiers.

Textured walls are staples, but 2025 merges them with reflective gloss or mirror shards to manipulate perception, observes Anne Dereaux of L.A. This technique expands small spaces while adding kinetic energy.
