Bristol Leads the UK’s Search for 2025 Design Trends
Thinking about bringing in the new year by giving your home a facelift? Well, you’re not alone. Brits up and down the country are bringing in 2025 by transforming their home with a totally new look and feel.
But which trends are most popular going into the new year? And which UK cities are most aware of 2025’s big interior design trends?
Having analysed Google Search data for some of the UK’s biggest expected interior trends for 2025, the design experts at Nth Degree, a provider of luxury outdoor furniture, have found that the people of Bristol are the UK’s most conscious of the latest interior trends – making Bristolians the most stylish interior designers in the country!
No matter the name of the 2025 interior, Google’s Keyword Planner tool showed that the number of Google searches per million people was higher in Bristol than any of the UK’s other major cities – but which trends were most popular? And where were the UK’s other hotspots for trendy interiors?
Art Deco
According to ELLE Décor, 2025’s arrival means Art Deco’s revival in home design across the UK – with designers tiring of Y2K influences and instead looking a little earlier for inspiration. Characterised by strong colours and precise, geometric shapes, Art Deco uses luxurious materials like ebony, lacquer and teak, so expect luxury teak furniture to make a strong impact on the year’s trends.
Across the country, a whopping 33,100 searches are taking place every month, highlighting just how in-demand this style is set to be in 2025. When it comes to the Art Deco look, trendy Bristol led the way with 260 monthly searches per 1,000,000 people – London clocked in second with 170 searches, closely followed by Leeds with 160.
Manchester is also getting ahead of the game this winter – Google searches for Art Deco are up 238% over the last three months!
Minimalism
Search data suggests minimalism is set to be over twice as popular as its counterpart – maximalism – during 2025, though both have grown in prevalence throughout 2024. Over 18,000 people are Googling ‘minimalism’ across the country every month – a 22% increase from last year.
This means you can expect to see simple clean lines, monochromatic colour palettes and open, uncluttered spaces in more homes than ever during 2025. Expect widespread use of natural materials and an emphasis on craftsmanship.
Both Bristol and Leeds set the tone for this interior design style, each with 110 searches per 1,000,000 taking place every month. The data indicated that Liverpool (30 searches), Edinburgh (40 searches) and Birmingham (50 searches) were rather more disinterested in minimalism.
Maximalism
You might think that minimalism’s popularity might mean the decline of maximalism, but both are far more popular now than they were going into 2024. In fact, search data suggests that maximalism is 50% more popular than this time last year!
With 8,100 Brits a month now searching for ‘maximalism,’ you might find some of your trend-conscious friends are choosing to ditch the monochrome, minimal look in favour of bold, eclectic colours, statement furniture pieces and rich ornamentation.
It’s little surprise that Bristol (60 searches per 1,000,000) leads the way here, with the city’s free-flowing focus on alternative culture and hippieism making it the perfect candidate to lead the maximal revolution! Glasgow clocked in at second with 39 searches, followed by Leeds with 35.
Japandi
Japandi – a combination of Japanese and Scandi(navian) design – was heralded by experts as one of the interior trends to watch for 2023, but it’s back with a bang for 2025 as more homes than ever begin catching on.
Pairing the sleek functional elegance of Japanese design with Scandinavian countries’ warm, rustic sensibilities, Japandi uses a combination of neutral, earthy colours and natural materials like bamboo, linen and stone.
Bristolians led the way here too, with 34 searches per 1,000,000 people – but the people of Sheffield took second place with 25 per 1,000,000. London also had 25 searches, indicating that Japandi will be big in the homes of the capital for 2025.
Mid-century
Mid-century design has been a fixture of discerning interior design for many years and designers see no sign of this slowing down. It seems Brits are still gravitating towards the fine craftsmanship and durability associated with furniture made during the 20th century – or modern furniture that emulates the vintage mid-century style.
With a focus on quality wood like walnut, oak or teak, stained with warm-toned finishes, mid-century design pairs functionality and comfort. Expect furnishings and furniture in the mid-century style to blend angular forms and organic curves, striking a considered balance between soft and sharp.
27 Bristolians per 1,000,000 people searched for ‘mid-century’ every month this year, with Glaswegians searching second-most frequently with 17 searches. Leeds came in at third with 15, though London trailed closely behind.
