Martha Stewart | 7 Bedroom Trends Will Dominate 2025


Double Drenching

[Double drenching] is a trend that’s on fire right now. “Using two different colors—one for the walls and another for trim and baseboards—is gaining popularity,” says Paula Dixon, interior designer and principal at Paula Dixon Design. “Just envision blue walls paired with green trim, doors, and baseboards. If you want to pull this look off in a bedroom successfully, make sure to use the correct value of each color.”

Biophilic Décor

Expect to see patterns, colors, and shapes that draw from Mother Nature next year. The impetus? A concerted shift towards eco-friendly elements has recently brought biophilic design to the fore. The trend is based on the principle that, as humans, we have an innate connection to nature, so incorporating natural elements into our living spaces improves well-being and enhances creativity. 

“Incorporating natural elements, like plants, waterfalls, and rock walls promotes tranquility,” says Dixon. “It lets exterior and interior environments become one.” You can take the ethos a step further by adding natural furniture, materials, and textiles, as well as nature-inspired colors and patterns.

Mixing Materials

Stone and wood is a timeless combination—one you can expect to see even more in bedrooms next year. The contrast of hard and soft materials adds visual interest and texture to a space and complements a natural, rich color palette. “The era of whitewashed oak floors and stark white ceilings is fading,” says Dixon. “Imagine, instead, travertine floors laid in inventive patterns alongside walnut wood accents on walls and ceilings.”

Personalized Touches

It's all about striking a balance though. “When mixed well with new pieces, vintage furniture makes a space feel collected and layered," adds Dixon. “The room tells a story through its transition from new to classic, offering an unpredictable and inherently beautiful visual journey.”
