Beautilities Trend

The “Beautilities” trend for 2025 is all about creating beautiful and functional spaces. Living spaces that promote pleasure and wellness, with a leaning towards sensorial environments engaging more of our senses, than just pleasing the eye. In 2025, comfort is king (or queen) when it comes to designing your sitting room. With a huge focus on furniture that envelops you in comfort, the emphasis is on creating an inviting atmosphere where you can truly relax and feel at home. Imagine pieces that offer not just functionality but also a sense of warmth and security. From plush sofas that you can sink into, to armchairs that embrace you with their soft and supportive cushions.

Elegance in Curves: The New Shape of Comfort

Comfort doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. 2025 living room design trends are all about creating spaces that encourage socialising and connecting with friends, to creating personal spaces like a cosy nook perfect for reading a good book, and for everything else in between. Sofa design is paramount to creating an inviting, aesthetically pleasing environment that enhances your living space. Curved and soft designs are at the forefront of this trend, offering a harmonious blend of elegance and diaphanous comfort, enveloping you in a cloud-like embrace. By integrating soft curved lines, plump cosy and comforting elements, your living room becomes a sanctuary, a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Tactile Textures

Luxury finishes are arguably never out of fashion, but tactile textures are becoming ever more popular. Engaging our senses beyond just what the eyes see, creating a sensory environment. Tactile textures play a crucial role in sensory living. Elevating the experience of a space through materials like linen, leather, silk and velvet. Furthermore, these luxurious fabrics and finishes not only add visual appeal but also enhance the sense of touch, making every interaction with your furniture a delight. Whether it’s the cool smoothness of leather, the soft elegance of velvet, or the natural warmth of linen these textures create a multi-sensory living room environment that promotes relaxation and wellbeing.

Smell and home fragrance are integral to sensory room design, adding an often-overlooked dimension to creating a welcoming and comforting environment. When combined with tactile textures they transform a space into a truly immersive experience. The right scent can evoke feelings of relaxation, invigoration, or nostalgia, perfectly complementing the physical sensations of the materials in your home. Together, these elements create a harmonious multi-sensory living experience that activates mind, body and soul and enhances the overall ambiance of your living room.

Beauty in Utility: Functional Furniture for Everyday Living

So, functional doesn’t scream beauty but you don’t have to one or the other. Great design should enhance your living environment and enrich your day to day by being functional as well as beautiful. Smart storage is a great way to keep your living room looking amazing, free of unnecessary clutter ensuring a serene and organised environment where style and functionality coexist seamlessly. For example, in 2025, hidden storage in the form of storage coffee tables and even chaise longues with hidden storage, epitomise the pinnacle of functional beauty for living rooms, providing ample space to stow away everyday items while maintaining an elegant aesthetic. Whether featuring hidden compartments, sleek drawers, or multi-tiered surfaces, these multi-tasking marvels enhance the room’s decor and ensure a tidy, create a focal point and keep your living room organised.

Minimalist Maximalism

A trend that offers the best of both world. Minimal maximalism is the harmonious blend of the open, airy feel of minimalism with the vibrant, expressive character of maximalism. This design approach creates spaces that are both uncluttered and full of personality. Striking a perfect balance between simplicity and richness. Imagine a lounge design that embraces clean lines and ample negative space while incorporating bold, eclectic elements that add depth and intrigue. Maximal minimalism allows for a curated selection of standout pieces and striking decor, ensuring that each item contributes to the overall aesthetic without overwhelming the senses. This fusion of styles results in environments that are serene yet dynamic.

Pops of colour – 2025 isn’t moving away from neutrals, but it’s embracing vibrant accents of colour throughout. Adding bespoke focal pieces, bold hues that energise and create visually captivating. Key colours and tones for autumn winter 2024 and for 2025 are warm earthy hues, terracotta, clay and coral. Through to serene natural greens like rich emerald and verdant sea shades. However, you will need to ground these maximalist accents with 2025 minimalism. Beautifully balancing them with warm beige tones, light wood finishes, and an abundance of textiles. This approach harmonises bold, expressive elements with simple geometric shapes and clean lines, creating a sophisticated and inviting space. Encompassing a palette of earthy hues and incorporating natural materials like wood, marble and stone. This trend ensures that even the most dynamic features feel rooted and cohesive.

Vintage Vibes: Infusing Retro Glamour into Contemporary Spaces

This fusion of styles and aesthetics continues and is ever more prevalent in interior design for 2025. Modern eclecticism is a sophisticated fusion of contemporary accents and vintage furniture. Combining period pieces, minimalist design, and artisanal craftsmanship. Less, is more, when it comes to seamlessly infusing subtle retro notes into your interior. Only a few carefully chosen bespoke pieces, that showcase the skill of craftsmanship, are needed to create a harmonious balance. Bringing retro glamour into the heart of contemporary living spaces.

House of Shifting Sands

Sited gently on the lower slope of a dramatic sixty foot high coastal bank and surrounded by miles of undeveloped Cape Cod National Seashore beaches and scrub pines is a warm, modern beach house that is more than just a place to enjoy uninterrupted ocean views and sea breezes. Our clients dreamed of a house that would work equally well as both a year-round family “camp” and also as a “thinking retreat” for collaborating with their colleagues. From the beginning of design it was critically important to us and to our clients – as well as the Town Conservation Commission and National Seashore representatives – that the house fit into its fragile site seamlessly. Our team responded with great care by designing the house to curve and shift softly with the natural topography and also by envisioning the new native and drought resistant landscaping growing back tight to the house as if both had always been there together. The main house is conceived of as a collage of overlapping, cantilevered planes and volumes that culminate in a large living / dining space defined by an asymmetrically arcing copper roof plane. Entry to the house is by way of a long ramp through what will in a few years be a thicket of native pines and bushes, then through curving cedar shingled planes. The inland side of the house is tucked into its shifting, sandy landscape and is comprised of cedar shingled planes that float above the ground and contain bedrooms, bathrooms, and the kitchen, and lower volumes of horizontal tongue and groove cedar boards that enclose bedrooms and a gathering space for teenage sons. On the Cape Cod Bay side, the house opens up through walls of glass to endless water views and heavenly sea breezes. In the middle of the house, just inside the front door, is an architectural “hole” that allows the house to breathe and cool itself naturally most of the year through its floor to ceiling awning windows, and which also provides views of the sky from a shady breezeway on the lower level. Along one wall of the hole is a trellis planted with evergreen and seasonally aromatic flowering vines.

Separated from the main house by a screen porch and contiguous deck, is a separate art / yoga / thinking studio that seemingly floats fourteen feet above the ground. Inside is a single large loft space as well as a full bath, and below is an open-air summer art studio and boat / beach toy storage, behind walls of wood slats and matching barn doors.

W72nd Penthouse

Located in the historic Oliver Cromwell Building, The W72nd penthouse inhabits the top three floors of the historic building in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. With commanding views of Central Park, it’s an awe-inspiring refuge from the frenetic pace of NYC. The clients, a financier and a tech entrepreneur, one from Pakistan and the other a Detroit native, longed for a cozy retreat to counterbalance their busy lifestyle. The fusion of two cultural backgrounds are apparent in the mixtures of textiles and material selections throughout the home. With two growing daughters and a steady stream of houseguests, the project aimed to accommodate their family as well as act as a secluded shelter away from city life. The space is first met with a glimpse of a stunning oak herringbone floors and steel circular staircase that connects all three floors and serves as the central backbone of the space. Facing the staircase is the main floor living and dining area perfectly framed as the home’s first introduction to the space. The area showcases an eclectic art collection and a library for the voracious literary appetite of the homeowners along with objects of curiosity from the client’s travels. Instantly eye-catching is the dining area which features a stunning dining table and leather chairs and flanked by a banquette covered with a custom Suki Cheema textile. Adjacent is a small media room punctuated by a bright red Ligne Roset couch. The tiered floor plates provided a challenge for maximizing space as each level gets increasingly smaller as you go up. The design team began to think like a shipwright to design unexpected built-ins that evoke the feeling of being in a sailboat in the sky. On the second floor, up the oak and steel staircase, is small office, a bedroom with two beds in a unique head-to-toe configuration surrounded by figured maple built-in storage looking to the prominent views of the penthouse’s towering over Manhattan. Also, on the second floor is a bathroom, a small kitchenette, and a gracious balcony that continues to overlook to the busy cityscape below. The open spaces of the circular stairwell continue up to the third-floor feature integrated fire shutters that slide down to create privacy for the whole second floor. Continuing up the stairs is a generous master bedroom and master bath. The master bathroom is class wall to wall in hand- made colored Moroccan tile juxtaposed with modern fixtures and fittings.
