British design has long been something weve happily embraced statesidetheres something so warm and welcoming about the stylish yet cozy spaces that UK-based designers have a knack for creating. London Design Week introduced us to an array of British design trends that will continue to make waves for the rest of 2025, and here, were highlighting some of our favorites, which professional designers (all of whom will be participating in Londons WOW!house Showhouse this summer) are equally excited about, too. Dont be shy about implementing any (or all!) of the below into your home in the coming months.

There is a noticeable shift towards embracing asymmetry in interiors, which allows for more creative expression and unexpected design moments, says Kelly Hoppen, founder of Kelly Hoppen Interiors. The concept of not being matchy-matchy is something that Rupert Cunningham, director at Ben Pentreath Studio, associates with the best English country house interiors. In these homes, he explains, rooms have evolved over time by a subtle process of accretion and subtraction, as successive generations leave their stamp on a space. However, he explains, the sum of the changes does not undermine the spirit of the original.

Layering brings depth and character to any space, creating a harmonious yet dynamic environment, says Ailsa Connery, design principal and regional director of Europe for 1508 London. The classic English country look is one example of layering at its finest, shares Emma Sims-Hilditch, founder and creative director of Sims Hilditch. The more pattern, color, and mix-matched furniture, the better, she says. Im delighted that this timeless trend continues to thrive, as it allows a home to evolve organically, with each occupant contributing their own history through antiques and carefully chosen pieces. Daniel Slowik, the founder of Daniel Slowik Ltd, shares similar sentiments. Quite often there are multiple iterations as things are bought and added, he says. Its a very enjoyable, organic and collaborative process to create a beautiful room. Lighting plays a significant role in truly bringing a layered space to life, adds Hoppen. It enhances depth, brings out shape and form, and creates subtle reflections on hard surfaceswhat I call winks of highlights, she says. It is exciting to see lighting being appreciated as an integral design element rather than just a functional one.No Shortage of ColorsCourtesy of Design Centre Chelsea HarbourBritish interior design and colorful rooms go hand in handveer away from decorating solely with neutrals! Color is an essential tool in shaping atmosphere, narrative, and emotion within a space, says Brigitta Freund, the founder and creative director of Spinocchia Freund. The exact application you land on is entirely up to youperhaps that means painting your ceiling (which designers often refer to as a rooms fifth wall) a peppy hue or coating your kitchen cabinets with a rich green or navy. Pattern is also continuing to make its way into homes, particular in the form of wallpaper. There was a period not so long ago where everything was slightly more stripped back, and I think maybe its a bit of a rebellion against that, says Darren Smith, a design director at Adam Architecture. People are a little bit bored of that overly familiar, plain background. Lots of Leafy Greens and BotanicalsCourtesy of Design Centre Chelsea HarbourVerdure-inspired prints have been a fixture of classic design for centuries and are here to stay, while botanicals are continuing to make their way onto wall coverings, soft goods, and more. As Connery says, Leafy greens remain a powerful influence in design, offering soft, fresh tones that help cultivate a peaceful retreat and celebrate a deep connection to nature. Hang an antique verdure tapestry behind your bed or sofa, or accessorize with botanical-printed pillows or throws. Another way to embrace this trend is by weaving in actual greenery into the home, of courseeven in small doses. As plantsman and garden designer Alexander Hoyle says, Who doesnt love plants? We find they help soften everything and bring needed life to a spaceoffering a splash of color or interest.Follow House Beautiful on Instagram and TikTok.
