Dunelm's top interior design trends for 2025
Maximalism
Maximalism is about unleashing your creativity and bringing joy to everything around you, day in and day out. Bold pattern combinations of florals, checks and geometrics set the tone with a bright joyous colour palette that holds everything together.
Don't mistake Maximalism for having loads of stuff, it's about mixing and matching florals, layering key pieces and storytelling throughout your home, and ultimately doing things your own way. Dunelm's new collaboration with Sophie Robinson is all about that.
Minimaluxe
The interiors world has witnessed the evolution of "minimalism" into a richer, more luxurious iteration. The goal is quiet luxury - simplicity with a sense of sophistication.
Minimaluxe focuses on creating spaces that are pared down yet warm, elegant, and inviting. Gloriously tactile textures, in a palette of warm neutrals, with hints of caramel and gold, complete the look. Introducing softer forms and round edges to avoid a space feeling overly stark
The Edit
Built on the philosophy that having fewer thoughtfully designed and well-made things helps us leave a lighter imprint on the earth. Interior design is shifting to be inspired by the natural world, and all its perfect imperfections.
Take Dunelm's The Edited Life collection, it focuses on natural materials like wicker, jute and linens - as well as décor pieces and hand-thrown pottery vessels that feature forms dictated by the artisan's mark. Soft relaxed fabric textures mixed with uneven wood grains help bring this neutral, look together.
New Nouveau
Blending 19th century inspired maximalism with a contemporary colour palette this collection takes inspiration from the ornamental art form from the Nouveau era. Rich and luxurious, blending a little bit of history with a more modern aesthetic you can mix and layer into your home.
Stylised Lily motifs adorn sumptuous textiles and wallpapers mixed with marbling & stained glass vintage style lighting for a vintage inspired look, with a modern twist.

We visited Cadbury World – it's perfect for the whole family and you can get two FREE tickets with SunSuperdays
THERE'S only one way to start a trip to Cadbury World – with handfuls of delicious chocolate. Arriving at the Birmingham attraction with my husband Will and kids Eva, 11, and Alex, nine, we are greeted by staff dishing out bars of Dairy Milk. 2 2 We then begin a trail following the history of chocolate from the Aztec rainforest to the beginnings of Cadbury, brought to life with 3D sets, interactive screens and mini theatre shows. Shaking seats recreating the experience of cocoa beans in the Making Chocolate Story prompt delighted shrieks. Getting up close and personal with the chocolate is a highlight. The kids are mesmerised as we are shown how to temper it in its melted state, and watch chocolatiers at work. We nibble our choice of toppings — the kids go for toffee chunks and Oreo pieces, while I panic and mix marshmallows with jelly babies. I think I blew my Willy Wonka moment. We write our names using melted chocolate in the delicious-smelling Have A Go zone and give tempering a try ourselves. Bliss. Displays of vintage packaging and life-size animatronic recreations of Cadbury ads along Advertising Avenue bring on the nostalgia. Hi, drumming gorilla! There's high-octane action too. The Ultimate Tour of Cadbury World: Chocolates, History, and Fun! We get competitive, zapping ingredients with laser guns on the Chocolate Quest ride, and love the 4D cinema, splashing into liquid chocolate and riding the Crunchie rollercoaster. We spot cool vehicles and wonder . . . can we swap our family car for a giant Creme Egg on wheels? But we finish as we begin, loading up on chocolate in the gift shop as Eva makes friends with the Caramel Bunny. Then it is off to the brilliant African Adventure outdoor play area so the kids can burn off what they have scoffed, while we sneak a few squares in peace.
