4 Fabric Trends Dominating Interiors in 2025

Living Spaces designer Jessica Harris gives us an easy way to style the floral fabric trend in 2025: “This year’s emphasis on patterns and prints means lots of mixing and matching. An easy combination is stripes and florals, or stripes and anything. Stripes are timeless, not tied to a trend. They’re sleek and don’t overpower bolder patterns like florals. When styling stripes and floral prints in your home, balance; stick to either thin stripes with large florals, or small florals with large stripes.”

According to Harris, “Linen works best in neutral tones like oatmeal and ivory, which continue the inner calmness that an all-natural material already brings. If you bring linen into any room, make it the bedroom! As crazy as it sounds, the lack of synthetic chemicals gives linen a physically calming energy you can actually feel. (It’s also gentle on the skin, so works great for sheets.)"

Harris weighs in on the animal print trend with enthusiasm. “I love how specific it is. This trend feels exotic and playful. Centuries ago, animal prints were used as a symbol of class status. Now, it’s a way to express a glam and luxurious side of your personality. While zebra, tortoise and giraffe are more niche and rare to trend, cheetah and leopard are timeless favorites.”

Harris hypes up the power of soft neutrals for this fabric trend. “The ‘vanilla girl’ aesthetic, which TikTok users know and love, is the trendiest cozy vibe. It’s affecting the textures that are rising in popularity, like boucle. At the same time, the flip is true: the trending cozy textures, like boucle, promote the popularity of ‘vanilla.’ But you don’t need TikTok to see how creamy soft, white neutrals are the best way to bring out boucle’s cozy vibes.”
