If you want to give your home a fresh touch, you can look forward to fascinating colors, bold combinations and creative furnishing ideas this year. The 2025 home trends include bold red tones, self-confident maximalism - but also modern minimalism.
Trend color red: more than just an accent
Red is the trend color par excellence in 2025 and gives every room a lively, warm atmosphere. The passion for red was already making its way in 2024 - now it is stronger than ever. Whether as a radiant chili red or a deep merlot, red tones are combined in a variety of ways to create energetic accents. They look particularly beautiful in combination with soft pastel shades such as light blue, delicate yellow or lilac - perfect for a harmonious, yet expressive feeling in the home.
For a modern and soft interpretation of the trend, you can paint a wall in yellow tones and place a piece of furniture in poudre red in front of it. For a bolder look, combine red with strong blue, green or earthy tones such as terracotta and rust. Whether as an eye-catcher on a wall or in the form of furniture and decorative elements - the courage to use the color red is worth it!


Yellow, vanilla and wheat: these color trends are coming in 2025
In addition to red, other colors come into play in 2025: the focus is on harmony and well-being, with only a few eye-catching accents - such as the red mentioned above. However, harmonious does not mean "achromatic": In kitchens, lemon or sunny yellow, orange, red and other colors that boost dopamine production and thus well-being are making their way onto walls and/or tables.
In living rooms and bedrooms, including the bathroom (which is increasingly becoming another living space with wellness elements and accessories), calming, harmonious creamy beige tones to match Vanilla Girls and Beige Babies are still in vogue, which unfold their full effect in combination with earth tones and darker floors.

Natural green tones in combination with earth tones work as a modern variant this year: watery turquoise, inspired by the sea as well as virtual worlds, symbolizes our life between AI and the desire for more naturalness.
For home office areas, warm neutral tones such as clay, warm gray or wheat are the order of the day - because they create warmth and promote concentration. Plants add color accents and are also balm for the soul. In 2025, home accessories should not be gaudy, but rather pastel-colored - and as delicate splashes of mint green, peach, purple or ice blue, they should spread balance and a good mood.
White will also remain a trend color in 2025, as it offers a stage for almost all living styles: either as a projection surface or to draw the eye to the form - or as an element in a different colored environment, as in many Scandinavian interiors.
Color blocking: the courage to use color in new dimensions
Color blocking remains a trend that will continue to provide vibrant contrasts in 2025. After last year's Dopamine Decor, which focused on lots of pop colors, color blocking will be a little softer this year, but no less exciting: the focus is on harmonious nuances within a color family. This creates visual contrasts without overloading the interior.
Playing with intense and softer tones opens up the possibility of creating lively rooms without losing the calm. And if you still want to dare a little more color, you are guaranteed to find a new favorite color among the 2025 trends!


Painting ceilings: new surfaces for creative ideas
The ceiling is often neglected as a creative surface, but that is changing this year! In 2025, the ceiling will become an additional design surface that opens up a new dimension to rooms. Whether in a light pastel shade for a greater sense of space or a bold color that visually defines the room - the design of the ceiling creates exciting contrasts and an individual ambience. Particularly in small rooms, a color-coated ceiling can achieve surprising effects and have a positive influence on the atmosphere.
Maximalism: more is more
The "maximalism" living trend will bring an explosion of colors, shapes and styles in 2025. Those who want to leave "less is more" behind can look forward to an aesthetic that brings personality and vibrancy to the fore. Bright colors, eye-catching patterns and creative combinations create rooms that tell stories and are full of life.
Whether it's bright wallpaper, decorative elements in organic shapes or extravagant pieces of furniture - maximalism encourages you to live out your own ideas and not limit yourself to one design. The trend can be implemented particularly well with colorful non-woven wallpaper, for example.


Modern minimalism: less is more - but with style
Despite the maximalist trend, fans of minimalism will be able to carry on as before in 2025: rising rents and energy costs will make more conscious, space-saving living essential in 2025 - and this will bring "Modern Minimalism" to the stage. The focus here is on functional, clear design: furniture with clever storage space, modular systems and a minimalist aesthetic that creates calm and order. Quality rather than quantity is the motto, and the selection of high-quality, durable furniture with simple, soft shapes creates a calm, balanced living ambience.
This living trend fits in perfectly with the tiny house trend and combines aesthetics with practical solutions that are suitable for everyday life. Modern Minimalism gives a home a harmonious, timeless touch while also making a sustainable contribution.
Flexible use of space as a living trend in 2025
With the trend towards working from home, a trend towards multifunctional rooms has gained momentum in both office buildings and homes, and this trend will continue to grow in 2025. The guest room is also a home office, the living room a meeting room, the kitchen also a living room. Conversely, offices - which are only used for meetings, for the sake of group creativity or as co-working spaces - are increasingly being furnished with living furniture such as sofas and dining tables and even entire kitchenettes.
However, if a single available room has more than one (living) function, its furnishings need to be particularly flexible. This is where multifunctional furniture and sliding doors/glass doors come into play: the latter are ideal as soundproofing, room dividers and for using awkwardly positioned corners. The doors adapt to the needs of the moment. Sliding glass doors in particular have the advantage of dividing rooms and keeping sound out without blocking the light that is so important for our well-being.


On trend with Griffwerk
The demands for flexible living and working that have come to stay, as well as our longing for light, well-being and coziness at home, call for sliding glass doors. With glass sliding doors, you can turn a living room into a playroom and a quiet home office without losing the overview, you can transform an unused corner into a work area or you can integrate the kitchen into the living area without odors becoming a problem.
The Griffwerk PLANEO AIR SILENT sliding door system from GRIFFWERK provides peace, light, flexibility and, depending on the type of glass, either privacy or a feeling of spaciousness.



The GRIFFWERK glass doors from the NATURE and Lines lines as well as SUMMER COTTON and BIRDS are particularly well suited to rooms with large wooden surfaces or views of the countryside, while the R8 designs as well as the DECO line and our textured glass can be combined particularly well with mid-century furnishings.
The door and window fittings from GRIFFWERK offer visually appealing and functional solutions for every type of home and every age:
The door handles from the AVUS range in cashmere gray or matt stainless steel, for example, are perfectly suited to a natural interior.
CAROLA PIATTA S with its slightly conical shape and discreet decorative applications is a wonderful match for the "good old days" in any color version.
The REMOTE door handle with its wonderful feel fits into both worlds in any color - it blends in without standing out and flatters the hand for a good feeling of living.

For our smooth-running sliding doors, we recommend our modern handle shells for younger people with an affinity for design and handle bars from the ELEGANZA, RONDO or LUCIA ranges for senior citizens with a need for security.
