As we step into the second half of the year homeowners’ appetite for stylish, future-forward interiors is growing. Whether you’re selling, buying or simply refreshing your current home, staying ahead of interior design trends can help boost appeal and add value.
Here at Webbers Estate Agents, with branches in Barnstaple, Bideford, Braunton, Ilfracombe, South Molton, Torrington, Minehead, Taunton, Wiveliscombe, Wellington, Bude, Bodmin, Launceston, and even Park Lane, London, we’ve got our finger firmly on the pulse of what buyers are loving right now — and what will be big in 2025.
Here are the top home design trends for 2025, perfect for properties across the South West and beyond.
Biophilic Design Continues to Bloom
With our stunning coastlines, moorlands and countryside on the doorstep — from the hills of Exmoor to the beaches of Bude and Woolacombe — it's no surprise that nature-inspired design is still top of the list.
Expect to see:
- Indoor plants used as feature pieces
- Natural materials like stone, linen and reclaimed wood
- Large windows and skylights to maximise light and views
Tip: If you’re selling in scenic spots like Torrington or Wiveliscombe, draw attention to those natural surroundings with complementary interior choices.
Warm Neutrals & Earthy Tones
Greys are out. In 2025, it’s all about earthy warmth — think clay, terracotta, sand and soft olive tones. These colours work beautifully with the Westcountry’s rustic charm, especially in period homes in places like South Molton, Launceston or Bodmin.
Pair with soft textures and layered lighting to create cosy, inviting spaces.
Multi-Functional Living
With flexible working still part of everyday life, homeowners are demanding more from their spaces. Expect to see a rise in clever zoning, foldaway desks, and hybrid rooms — especially in family homes in commuter-friendly areas like Taunton, Wellington, and Barnstaple.
If you're preparing your property for market, highlighting how spaces can adapt (e.g. a home office nook or workout corner) will appeal to modern buyers.
Statement Ceilings & Walls
Bold design is back, and 2025 brings with it a new focus on statement ceilings, feature wallpapers and textured walls. From dramatic panelling in Georgian townhouses in Bideford, to coastal murals in seaside cottages near Braunton, it’s a trend full of character and creativity.
Sustainable & Local Materials
Buyers are becoming more conscious of environmental impact — and the homes they choose reflect this. Sustainability is no longer a luxury, but an expectation. Local reclaimed timber, recycled glass splashbacks, energy-efficient fittings and low-VOC paints are increasingly desirable.
Retro Influence with a Modern Twist
A nod to the past with a fresh perspective: 70s-inspired tones, curved furniture, and retro patterns are trending, but updated with a contemporary edge. It works especially well in Victorian and mid-century homes, of which there are many across Bodmin, Launceston, and Ilfracombe.
Final Thought: Trendy, But Timeless
While trends are fun to follow, the best interiors always feel personal and timeless. Whether you're sprucing up a home in Wellington, staging a flat in Taunton, or preparing a country cottage in South Molton for market, it pays to think about long-term appeal.
At Webbers, we know what works, both for our local buyers and for those relocating from further afield via our Park Lane, London office. If you're considering selling or letting your home and want advice on how to present it in its best light, we’d be delighted to help.
