Picture walking into a room that wraps you in comfort—soft rugs underfoot, plush throws on the sofa, and curtains that dance with the light. At Zulufish, textiles are the soul of our designs, turning houses into warm, inviting homes. With Caroline Milns, our Head of Interiors and former textile designer, guiding our vision, we’re excited to share the top textile trends for 2025 that will elevate London’s luxury interiors.
Why Textiles Are Key in 2025
Top Textile Trends for 2025
1. Plush Velvets: Cosy Luxury
Velvet is stealing the show in 2025, bringing a rich, touchable charm to cushions, sofas, and even walls. Its soft sheen adds a layer of sophistication that’s effortlessly chic. In our Kensington Townhouse project, vibrant velvet cushions pop against a creamy sofa, blending warmth with modern elegance for a cosy yet luxurious feel.
Tip: Try a velvet ottoman in jewel tones like sapphire or amber for a pop of luxury.
2. Natural Linens: Relaxed Charm
Linen is a 2025 must-have, bringing effortless elegance with its soft, slightly textured vibe. Its breezy, organic look adds a relaxed charm to any room, perfect for creating a calm and welcoming space. Linen curtains, like in our Belsize Park Family Home project, soften grand interiors while letting natural light flood in, creating a bright, airy feel that’s timeless.
Tip: Go for linen throws in earthy tones like sage or oatmeal to keep things calm and classy.
3. Sustainable Fabrics: Green and Gorgeous
Eco-friendly textiles are a big hit in 2025, with organic cotton, hemp, and recycled wool taking center stage. These fabrics feel amazing and help support a greener planet. We layered a sunny yellow cotton throw in our Primrose Hill Townhouse to add a pop of colour to the bed, blending sustainability with vibrant style for a fresh, charming look.
Tip: Choose a recycled wool blanket for your bedroom to add warmth and eco-cred.
4. Textured Wools: Warm and Timeless
Wool’s cosy texture is perfect for London’s cooler months, making rugs and throws feel extra comforting. Its durability makes it a smart choice for busy homes. In our West London Townhouse, a patterned wool rug anchors the open-plan living area, adding comfort underfoot.
Tip: Pick a wool rug with a subtle weave for a timeless look that ties the room together.
5. Bold Patterns: Playful Flair
Geometric and abstract patterns are spicing up 2025 interiors, adding a fun twist to cushions and curtains. We used a patterned throw in the Hampstead Modernist Marvel to bring energy to its sleek, minimalist design, keeping the vibe fresh yet balanced.
Tip: Mix one bold patterned cushion with neutral solids to add personality without clutter.
How to Layer Textiles Like a Pro
Want to nail the 2025 textile look? Layering is the trick to making your space feel rich and inviting. Here’s our Zulufish guide, inspired by projects like the Edwardian West London Home:
- Start with a Base: Lay down a wool or jute rug to set the tone, like the one in our Edwardian West London Home’s family room.
- Add Soft Furnishings: Hang linen curtains to enhance light, a hallmark of our designs.
- Incorporate Upholstery: Choose velvet or organic cotton for sofas or chairs to boost texture.
- Finish with Accents: Toss on patterned cushions or sustainable throws for a personal touch.
Pro Tip: Stick to a three-colour palette (e.g navy, cream, and ochre) to keep things polished and cohesive.
