TEXTURED WALLS AND CEILINGS
As one of the prominent interior design trends for 2025 , walls are set to become focal points rather than just backdrops . In kitchens and bathrooms , bold 3D textured tiles will take centre stage , especially geometric patterns or daring colours . Textured wall treatments , such as plaster , limewash , and embossed wall panels , add dimension and interest to otherwise minimalist spaces .
Statement ceilings will also rise in popularity , whether through paint , wood beams , or artistic tiles , drawing the eye upward and making a dramatic impact on the space .
