2025 | Interior Landscaping Trends to Look Forward To

As they say, change is the only constant, which is why it’s important for anyone in the interior design and landscaping industries to stay ahead of the curve. So, what’s in the cards trend-wise as we head into the new year? We’ve compiled some of the top interior landscaping trends predicted for 2025.

Eco-consciousness and sustainability will always be cornerstones of biophilic design. But a transformative, evolutionary, and a forward-thinking approach is a necessity in this industry. This is why we’re sharing the bold, creative, and innovative design trends that will shape interior landscaping in 2025. 
 
In the next year, we’re closing the curtain on caution and diving headfirst into energized and inspired spaces that meet the needs of the evolving workspace. But, what exactly does it mean to create these inspired spaces?

With biophilia continuing to gain popularity, businesses are embracing larger-scale plant installations to leverage the many benefits of office plants in their spaces.

Intent on enhancing the overall experience of their spaces to boost productivity, creativity, and wellbeing; more and more office managers and business owners are recognizing interior landscaping and indoor plant installations as an essential part of a flourishing work environment.
 
With this in mind, we’ve mapped out the top eight interior landscaping trends in the new year, with top tips for creating a lush, green, and vibrant workspace in 2025 (and beyond!).

Trend 1: Use Sustainable Alternatives to Potting Soil

As essential and beneficial as live plants are for an office environment, so are sustainable, low-maintenance solutions, especially with so many other things to prioritize. Building occupants (even those who manage the office space), should not be worried about the health and wellbeing of their office’s plant life. This is where Natura comes in.

On behalf of our clients, we assume responsibility for the maintenance of all our installations. We also use our exclusive mineral substrate (Natura-PON^TM), a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to potting soil with a rich mineral quality and high water-storage capabilities

The Natura-PON^TM substrate is packaged as a mix of off-white granular pebbles, which are, by themselves, attractive, eliminating the need for decorative rocks, pebbles, or moss to elevate your design (unless you prefer to use moss as part of your aesthetic). 

Moreover,  this soil alternative helps keep your office clean, giving you the time and peace of mind to focus on your job. It also discourages common pests, like gnats, which is a significant benefit for busy corporates that don’t have time for that type of burden.

Trend 2: Go Bold, Bright & Colorful

Twenty-twenty five is coming in bright, inspired by the bold, tropical color palettes and intricate patterns of Spain and Cuba. Think of a vibrant, cheerful design featuring natural materials, like wood, rattan, and terracotta. This is your personal invitation to draw inspiration from the vibrant aesthetic of Spanish and South American cultures.
 
It's hard not to feel alive in a Cuban-inspired space. So, if your space needs a lift, this trend is a strong contender for your 2025 look. And, what better way to balance a bold, bright color palette than a rich array of lush, living greenery and live office plants? It’s a match made in design heaven.

Trend 3: Warm Tones & Wooden Textures

The early 2020s saw interior designers playing it safe with bright whites and cool grey/blue tones. But this year? We’re going for warm colors and wooden textures that perfectly complement the natural elements of biophilic design.
 
If bold, bright colors are a bit too eclectic for your taste, incorporating warm tones, like terracotta, sienna, and burnt ochre, with deep-green foliage can create a softer aesthetic. This is one of the easiest trends to incorporate, and possibly one of the most important, as it speaks to people’s need for comfort, consistency, and an innate connection with nature.

Trend 4: Incorporate Eco-Friendly Solutions 

The demand for businesses, big and small, to prioritize sustainability and eco-consciousness in built environments will continue well into the new year. Landscapers and interior designers are being encouraged to use eco-friendly materials that reduce waste as well as buildings’ environmental footprint.
 
This includes incorporating live plants into your landscaping and interior design plans. The right plants can help mitigate a building’s carbon footprint by reducing its reliance on air-conditioning and absorbing CO2 from the air around them. This is made possible when there are enough plants in the building working together to lower the room temperature. Moreover, they help maintain a comfortable humidity level (between 30% and 60%) by releasing moisture in the air during photosynthesis.

Reducing water use is also an important consideration for businesses in the new year. Natura-PON^TM can help you here too. Thanks to its high water-storage capabilities, which allow each unique plant to take up water at the rate it needs, Natura-PON^TM considerably reduces the maintenance requirements of indoor plant life.

Trend 5: Use AI as a Maintenance Tool

Use new technologies like AI and smart plant care solutions to optimize your lighting and improve your energy and water use over time.
 
With the right input, AI can help horticulturalists predict plant health. This can perfectly complement professional plant care services, helping service providers maintain landscapes that are as functional and resource-efficient as they are aesthetically pleasing.
 
How does it work? AI can adjust smart lighting systems based on the natural light levels in a space, providing optimal light exposure for individual plants. AI systems can also monitor plants in real time to detect early signs of stress, disease or pests with image recognition data.
 
It can also analyze the environmental conditions in a space (like humidity, temperature and soil moisture). This helps pre-empt potential health issues and arms horticulturalists with the information they need to be proactive

Trend 6: Use Impactful Design Elements

Besides the myriad wellness benefits that plants bring to a space, the right species can create a clean, professional, and stylish atmosphere, which boosts your bottom line.
 
Moving away from the “play-it-safe” mindset of the early 2020s, 2025 is all about striking contrasts and impactful design elements. Be bold with a statement color-blocked wall/mural, or add textures for dramatic effect.
 
Bring your surroundings together with a complementary plant installation, or use striking plants as focal points to add character to a space. Another way to leverage this trend is with green living walls, which can transform small spaces with dramatic effect and limitless benefits. 

Similarly, moss walls can be artfully incorporated into any space, offering all the same benefits as plant walls.. Both green living walls and moss walls are effortless ways to incorporate plants and biophilia into your built indoor environment, while sticking to space and environmental requirements.

Trend 7: Generate Creative Solutions for Ultimate Budget Efficiency

Trend 8: Incorporate Designs for All Holidays

In the current sociopolitical climate, acknowledging diversity and establishing a welcoming and inclusive workplace culture has never been more important.
 
This means making sure that your business’s holiday décor is diverse and representative, celebrating the cultures and traditions that shape our society. Part of Natura’s service provision is end-to-end holiday décor services for both indoor and outdoor commercial spaces, including decor for a variety of holidays, like Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali or Eid.
