Pops of Red: The Colour Trend Transforming Interiors in 2025

When it comes to interior design trends in 2025, red is taking centre stage, but not in the way you might expect. Instead of full feature walls or bold all over treatments, designers are embracing small pops of red to bring instant energy, warmth, and style to interiors.

A single red vase on the dining table, a striking tray for entertaining, or a touch of colour in your tableware can completely transform a room. It proves that sometimes the smallest styling choices make the biggest impact.

Why Red Is the Must-Have Colour for 2025

Red accents for the home have surged this year, and it is easy to see why. Red is bold yet timeless, playful yet sophisticated. Used sparingly, it:

• Draws the eye instantly - making a design statement without overwhelming.

• Creates warmth and conversation - perfect for living rooms and dining spaces.

• Enhances everyday items - from trays and vases to coasters and placemats.

It is the perfect shortcut to refresh your space without a full redesign.

How to Style Pops of Red in Your Home

Not sure where to start? Here are simple ways to bring this interior colour trend into your home:

1. Red Tableware and Trays

Turn mealtimes into memorable moments. A bold red tray or a set of red coasters instantly brightens the table and sparks conversation.

Shop our Red Tray and Red Coasters to add functional style to your dining table.

2. Red Vases and Decor Accents

A designer vase in a striking red tone transforms everyday flowers into a statement. Place it on a sideboard, dining table, or bedside to lift the mood of the room.

Discover the Red Flat-Pack Vase - clever design that slips over empty jars or cups to upcycle with style.

3. Small Touches That Count

You do not need to commit to a full palette. Even a single pop - a red planter, a statement candle holder, or a bold cork accent - can shift the atmosphere of your space.

The Secret to Making Red Work

The trick to styling red is balance. Pair pops of red with:

• Natural materials like cork, wood, or linen.

• Neutral tones such as white, beige, or grey to let the colour shine.

• Other small accents for continuity — for example, a red tray in the dining room echoed by a red planter in the entryway.

This keeps your space feeling intentional and stylish rather than overwhelming.

Small but mighty, red accents are the design move of 2025. Whether it is through tableware, trays, or vases, this colour trend brings instant energy to your home — and it does not take much to make an impact.
