Casa Decor 2025 Showcases Innovative Interior Design Trends

This year's exhibition highlights natural colors and biophilic design in Madrid's historic Sagasta building.

As Casa Decor 2025 opens its doors for the 60th edition, visitors are treated to a showcase of innovative interior design trends, running until May 18, 2025. Nestled in the historic Sagasta building at number 33 in Madrid's Chamberí district, this year's event features 57 distinct spaces transformed by some of Spain's top decoration studios.

The Sagasta building, constructed between 1899 and 1901, boasts a stately, 19th-century architectural style that serves as a perfect backdrop for the cutting-edge designs on display. "We have chosen a genuine 'Casa Decor' building, with spacious areas and high ceilings that are very luminous and rich in period details," organizers emphasize, highlighting the building's unique charm.

This year’s color palette is heavily influenced by natural tones. Earthy colors form the base, while vibrant accents in shades of green—from moss to eucalyptus—along with reds like cherry, terracotta, and burgundy, and a variety of ochres, create striking impacts without sacrificing elegance. For instance, the living-dining area designed by BAO PROYECTOS is a testament to this trend, showcasing the captivating interplay of these colors.

Attention to structural elements is also a key theme, with ceilings and walls adorned with luxurious moldings, textured wallpapers, or painted murals that elevate the overall aesthetic. This focus on architectural integrity not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a sense of grandeur to the spaces.

The kitchen, traditionally a functional space, is increasingly becoming the heart of the home. The design philosophy now embraces open concepts, seamlessly connecting the kitchen to the dining area. This shift reflects a growing trend where kitchens are not just for cooking but also for gathering, socializing, and enjoying family time.

Biophilic design, which emphasizes the connection between interiors and nature, continues to gain traction. Plants are no longer mere decorative elements; they are integral to the design, transforming spaces from the terrace to the bathroom. This trend not only beautifies the home but also contributes to a healthier living environment.

Moreover, the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces are blurring, with versatile 'in&out' furniture becoming a staple in modern design. This furniture is suitable for both gardens and living rooms, allowing for fluid transitions between spaces. The interior courtyard designed by Raquel Chamorro and David Álvaro Maroto exemplifies this trend, creating a palatial feel that can be enjoyed throughout all seasons.

Curved silhouettes are also making a significant impact this year, with organic shapes dominating furniture design. The emphasis on these flowing forms adds dynamism and a touch of retro charm to the decor. The Masie space, designed by Sigfrido Serra, features these curvaceous designs that draw attention and create inviting atmospheres.

In a poignant tribute, Casa Decor 2025 also honors those affected by the DANA storm, recreating a fictional country house that reflects the past devastation, the current rebuilding efforts, and the hopeful future of those homes yet to come. This installation serves as a reminder of resilience and the power of community in the face of adversity.

Overall, Casa Decor 2025 not only showcases the latest trends in interior design but also underscores the importance of historical context, sustainability, and emotional resonance in creating living spaces that are both beautiful and meaningful.
