At Shine Interior Design Studio, we believe in creating spaces that enhance lives by integrating beauty, function, and wellness. As industry pioneers, our mission is to bring a peaceful and positive transformation to every project, empowering homeowners to achieve complete wellness in their living environments.

This philosophy aligns with LifeCore Flooring, whose eco-conscious and stylish products support healthier indoor spaces. Together, we’re excited to present the top interior design trends for 2025—trends that go beyond aesthetics to prioritize sustainability, well-being, and authenticity in the home.

Design Trend 1: Sustainable & Allergen-Friendly Materials

Sustainability is no longer a buzzword—it’s an essential consideration in design today. Homeowners are increasingly conscious of the materials they bring into their spaces, opting for eco-friendly, non-toxic solutions that support both the environment and their health.

LifeCore Flooring leads the way in sustainable design with low-to-no-VOC (volatileorganic compounds) options, ensuring that homeowners can breathe easier while enjoying stylish, high-quality flooring. When paired with organic textiles such as linen, hemp, and jute, as well as renewable finishes, these elements create a harmonious home that feels as good as it looks

Sustainable Design Pro Tips:

• Incorporate reclaimed wood and upcycled furniture for an added layer of sustainability.
• Highlight certifications such as FloorScore® or GREENGUARD to reassure clients about product safety.
• Opt for natural fiber rugs and untreated, breathable materials to reduce allergens in the home.

Design Trend 2: Biophilic Design

Biophilic design remains at the forefront of wellness-centered interiors, fostering a connection between people and nature. This approach integrates natural elements—such as daylight, organic textures, and earthy palettes—to create restorative spaces.

Wood grains, indoor greenery, and stone details bring an undeniable sense of calm and balance. LifeCore’s flooring options, inspired by the raw beauty of nature, are the ideal foundation for biophilic design. Whether opting for warm oak or deep walnut, these floors provide the perfect base to complement organic decor elements.

Biophilic Design Pro Tips:

•  Add large potted plants, vertical gardens, or living walls to amplify the natural ambiance.
• Choose light-toned flooring to reflect natural light and make spaces feel airy and open.
•  Layer textures like rattan, linen, and wool to create warmth and depth.

Design Trend 3: Preppy Meets Country Club Aesthetic

A fresh take on classic design, the preppy aesthetic is a designer favorite in 2025. This look blends sophisticated tailoring with playful, nostalgic touches—think crisp whites, navy blues, and bold patterns like houndstooth and checkerboard.

Depending on the demographic, the interpretation of “preppy” can vary, but it always conveys a well-branded, curated, and highly coordinated aesthetic. LifeCore’s timeless hardwood flooring serves as the perfect anchor for this trend, grounding the design with rich, stained planks that balance the tailored details with warmth.

Preppy Design Pro Tips:

• Mix in bold accent pieces like oversized plaid pillows, monogrammed decor and strategically branded accents.
• Pair dark wood floors with white walls for striking contrast.

Design Trend 4: Highly Personalized Spaces

Gone are the days of cookie-cutter interiors. In 2025, homes will be more personalized than ever, reflecting the unique stories and personalities of their owners. Customization is key—whether through flooring patterns like herringbone, one-of-a-kind finishes, or thoughtfully curated collections of art and heirlooms.

Dopamine decor—a sub-trend within personalization—centers around joy-inducing design elements. Vibrant colors, whimsical patterns, and meaningful decor pieces create spaces that uplift and energize. From jewel-toned sofas to geometric rugs and playful accents, this approach makes interiors truly reflect the personality of the owner.

Personalized Design Pro Tips:

• Use bright, saturated tones sparingly for maximum impact.
• Layer textures like velvet and silk over smooth hardwood floors to create depth.

• Mix and match materials to add visual interest.
• Incorporate family heirlooms or art for an authentic touch.

Design Trend 5: Curved and Sculptural Designs

Soft, rounded shapes continue to redefine modern interiors. Curved furniture, arched doorways, and sculptural light fixtures add a fluid, organic feel that contrasts beautifully with rigid architectural lines. These elements create an inviting, dynamic space that feels both elegant and approachable.

LifeCore’s warm-toned and hand-scraped flooring complements this aesthetic perfectly, offering an earthy foundation that enhances the movement and softness of curved designs.

Curved Design Pro Tips:

• Use soft area rugs to define curved furniture arrangements and create visual flow.
• Match flooring tones with wooden accents to maintain harmony and warmth.
• Opt for sculptural lighting or rounded decor pieces to complete the look.

Design Trend 6: Quiet Luxury + Authenticity

This trend carries over from last year, but continues to be a staple design aesthetic. And let’s be honest, it’s always been here, it just has a new name. Quiet luxury is understated, rooted in quality craftsmanship and timeless elegance rather than flashy opulence. Quiet luxury is about investing in well-made, sustainable materials that stand the test of time and is ultimately about authenticity in a product’s value and story.

LifeCore’s premium wood floors, with their rich finishes and natural beauty, epitomize this trend. Their authenticity enhances the refined yet effortless aesthetic, making any space feel sophisticated yet unpretentious.

Authentic Design Pro Tips:

• Pair wood flooring with natural stone or handwoven textiles for a soft, luxurious feel.
• Stick to a neutral, tonal palette to create a calming, cohesive environment.
• Invest in high-quality, long-lasting materials rather than trendy, disposable decor.

Design Trend 7: Wellness-Centered Retreats

With an increased focus on self-care, homeowners are carving out dedicated spaces for relaxation and mindfulness. Whether it’s a spa-like bathroom, a cozy reading nook, or a serene yoga space, wellness-centered retreats offer a personal sanctuary from daily stress.

LifeCore’s hypoallergenic, low-maintenance flooring is the perfect foundation for these spaces, blending beauty with practicality. Waterproof flooring options are also gaining popularity, ensuring durability in high-moisture areas like home spas and meditation rooms.

Wellness Design Pro Tips:

• Use soft lighting and neutral tones to amplify the calming atmosphere.
• Select flooring that complements the room’s purpose—warm tones for cozy bedrooms and cool tones for energizing fitness spaces.
• Engage the senses.  Incorporate aromatherapy elements, plush textiles, and cozy seating to create a truly restorative retreat.
