Maison&Objet 2025
We were delighted to attend Maison&Objet 2025, one of the most anticipated events in the interior design calendar. It’s a space where brands, designers and creatives gather to showcase the latest in furniture, décor and materials. We spotted key trends that will influence and shape interiors throughout 2025.
Shades of Green
Green is becoming a defining colour in interior design, bringing a sense of calm and connection to nature. At Maison&Objet, we saw it used across a variety of spaces, from deep, moody walls to soft furnishings and upholstery. This shift towards green reflects a broader movement towards organic, grounding palettes that create a tranquil atmosphere in the home.
Darker greens, in particular, were a standout. Bancha by Farrow & Ball, a deeper take on their classic Olive shade, was frequently referenced as a popular choice. Shades of forest green and moss were widely used to add depth and richness without overwhelming a space. Whether through painted walls, statement furniture or smaller accents, these tones provide a refined yet inviting feel.
70s-Inspired Style
A strong influence from the 1970s was evident throughout Maison&Objet this year, with interiors embracing a softer, more organic feel. The era’s signature design elements (curved furniture, textured fabrics and warm earthy tones) were on full display, creating spaces that feel both nostalgic and inviting.
Curved sofas and armchairs were particularly prominent, often upholstered in plush, bouclé fabrics. Low-slung seating and organic shapes added to the sense of ease, reinforcing a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Alongside this, biophilic elements such as indoor plants and natural wood finishes played a key role in softening spaces and enhancing their connection to nature.
With this resurgence, textured materials are also making a return. Expect to see an increased use of shagpile rugs, woven upholstery and layered fabrics - all of which add comfort and dimension to a space.
Natural Materials
A strong focus on natural materials was evident throughout Maison&Objet, reinforcing the shift towards more organic, grounded interiors. Wood played a central role, particularly when mixed and matched. Teak, oak and walnut were frequently paired together, creating a sense of balance through variation in grain and tone. This was often contrasted with metal accents like brass, bringing a refined edge to the overall look.
Soft furnishings also reflected this focus on natural textures, with woven wool, linen and cotton making a strong impact. These tactile materials complement solid surfaces like wood and stone, enhancing a space’s overall warmth and comfort. Our Nordic Collection, for example, features soft wool rugs in neutral tones, making them an ideal addition to spaces that incorporate raw, natural elements.
Dopamine Decor
Maison&Objet embraced a more expressive approach to interiors this year, with many exhibitors championing dopamine décor - a style centred around colour, creativity and personal expression. Rather than following rigid design rules, this trend encourages people to decorate with what makes them feel good, using bold palettes, playful patterns and unique combinations.
Throughout the fair, we saw spaces drenched in vibrant hues, with striking colour pairings like rich blues and deep oranges making a frequent appearance. Gallery walls featuring mix-and-match artwork, eclectic furniture arrangements and layered textures all contributed to a sense of joy and individuality. Patterns also played a major role, with designers embracing clashing prints and contrasting textures. The new Sophie Robinson x Harlequin rug collection perfectly embodies this ethos, featuring jewel-toned designs that bring energy and personality into a space.
