Design trends for 2025 are taking a fresh turn as more brands and homeowners explore ways to inject vibrancy and individuality into their spaces.
While minimalism will always have its place—thanks to its clean lines and uncluttered appeal—designers are increasingly embracing colour and personality. This shift doesn’t dismiss the serenity that minimalism offers (let's face it, there's nothing more relaxing than a calm, uncluttered environment) instead, it celebrates the power of a bolder palette. You can still keep your environment sleek, but now you’re free to layer in expressive elements that tell a story about who you are and what you love.
Striking colour is back in everything from furniture to accessories, with jewel-like blues, radiant oranges, and energetic greens all stealing the show. Walls are seeing more playful hues, and statement pieces like vibrant rugs or decorative vases are becoming must-haves. The essence behind this movement is simple: people crave warmth, originality, and joy in their surroundings. It’s about finding that sweet spot between calm functionality and meaningful self-expression.
Whilst some of these design choices are built to last, we think that flowers are a never ending opportunity to enhance your living spaces with little punches of colour. And if you're thinking that colourful flowers need light/white walls to stand out... think again. Bold blooms tie seamlessly into this more colourful design approach, adding an immediate lift to any room.
If you’re looking for on-trend cut flowers this year, consider Guernsey Freesias for their bright, sweet-scented clusters, or Mixed Gerberas for a sophisticated burst of colour and whimsy. Guernsey Alstroemeria deliver fun, speckled petals in vibrant shades that echo the spirited design shift, and Tulips offer a classic spring option lasts beautifully in a vase.
Ultimately, the resurgence of colour in design allows for greater storytelling and emotional resonance. By blending a timeless minimalist foundation with carefully chosen accents—like bold flower arrangements—you can strike the perfect balance between order and enchantment, creating a space full of character, energy, and life.
