The Furniture Trends to Watch in 2025 for Brisbane’s Most Sophisticated Homes
As we step into 2025, the world of interior design is embracing a new wave of sophistication, sustainability, and innovation. For Brisbane homeowners seeking to elevate their living spaces, understanding the latest furniture and colour trends is key to creating interiors that balance timeless elegance with contemporary flair. Here, we explore the top colour and furniture trends shaping premium homes this year.
1. Sustainable Luxury
Eco-consciousness continues to dominate design, but in 2025, it’s all about merging sustainability with opulence. Expect to see:
· Reclaimed and Upcycled Materials: High-end furniture pieces crafted from reclaimed timber or repurposed metals, providing a unique story and reduced environmental impact.
· Natural Fabrics: Upholstery in organic linens, wools, and velvets dyed with plant-based colours, offering a luxurious yet eco-friendly touch.
· Local Artisan Pieces: Commissioning Brisbane’s talented craftspeople to create bespoke furniture not only supports the local economy but adds authenticity and uniqueness to your home.
Natural hues and plant based colours such as Pantone Rust, Taffy and Olivine are predicted to make an entrance in 2025 with their lack of pretention and unforced style.
While furniture designers are embracing these earthy hues in full-scale pieces, you can still enjoy the trend without committing to large doses of colour. Consider introducing these tones as accent pieces, such as a stylish armchair, a plush ottoman, decorative cushions, or an elegant vase, to add subtle warmth and character to your space.
On trend Cushions
Cyprian cushions in Caramel, Oatmeal, Treacle and Sage from Baya Living give an accent of contemporary colour.
2. Soft Curves and Organic Shapes
Say goodbye to harsh lines and hello to fluid, curvaceous designs. Sofas with rounded edges, kidney-shaped coffee tables, and circular accent chairs bring softness and harmony to interiors. These designs work particularly well in open-plan homes popular in Brisbane, enhancing flow and creating an inviting atmosphere.
A slower pace of life, spending time with loved ones and a enjoying the simple things like conversation is reflected in new designs such as the Belle Modular Sofa which reflect a relaxed style and encourages conversation and connection with it’s soft curve and textural fabric finish.

3. Tech-Integrated Furniture
For those who value convenience and modernity, furniture is becoming smarter:
· Charging Stations Built-In: Side tables and desks with integrated wireless charging pads for devices.
· Adjustable Lighting Features: Bedside tables with mood lighting that can be controlled via an app or voice command.
· Multi-Functional Pieces: Coffee tables doubling as workstations or ottomans with hidden storage and cooling compartments for Brisbane’s warm climate.
WIRELESS INBUILT CHARGING
Transforming your countertop into a hidden wireless charging station is a practical and sleek solution offered by many kitchen fabricators and retailers. Once installed, simply place your phone on the countertop to keep it charged effortlessly. This setup eliminates visible wires and adapters, frees up plug sockets, keeps your phone accessible (unlike charging drawers), avoids grime buildup, prevents wear on your phone’s ports, and ensures your charger isn’t "borrowed" by family members.
4. Statement Marble
Marble continues to reign supreme in luxury interiors, but 2025 sees a shift towards dramatic veining and bold colour combinations. Think:
· Tables and Consoles: Dining tables with striking black-and-white veined marble tops.
· Accent Pieces: Side tables or decorative objects in vibrant greens or pinks
Marble’s timeless appeal ensures these investments remain relevant for years to come.
Marble Luxe
The Cook Side Table by Satara features a sleek black marble top and solid black suar wood legs, combining natural elegance with modern design. A versatile choice for any interior.

· Indoor-Outdoor Blurring: High-end outdoor furniture that’s stylish enough to transition seamlessly indoors, featuring weather-resistant fabrics and elegant designs.
· Fire Pit Areas: Custom-designed furniture surrounding a fire pit creates the perfect setting for year-round entertaining.
