We asked Traci Pollard, a Brooklyn-based interior and surface pattern designer and Account Manager at Blu Dot furniture company for her predictions for some of the hottest interior design trends for the new year. Check out some of her favorite Black-owned brands who she believes are showing the trends in the best way.

Deep Jewel Tones

Pollard says deep jewel tones will be everywhere in 2025, giving you plenty of options incorporate rich hues like cobalt, emerald, ruby and more into your space. The Park Armchair from Edloe Finch in blue velvet is a great way to add extra seating and style.

When it comes to rich colors, no room is off limits. The Alma Counter Stool from the Marie Burgos Collection adds luxury to your kitchen.

Curvy Statement Pieces

If youโ€™re looking to update your furniture, Pollard suggests thinking outside of the box and opting for curves instead. We love the unexpected rounded edges of the Drop Coffee Table from Oi Studio.

The Gilded Coffee Table from Black Rooster Decor is a beautiful brass table that looks more like a work of art than a piece of furniture.

Accent and decor pieces provide lots of opportunities to introduce color. We love this bold Abstract Wall Clock from Studio1514Brooklyn on Society 6.

Wall art in a bold print, like Flower Man from Uzo Art, is another great way to incorporate an unexpected pop of red into your space.

Pollard suggests using paint as a way to incorporate red in your home in unexpected ways. If youโ€™re not looking to drench your walls in red, try painting a door or an accent wall in a rich shade of red, like Vintage from Black-owned paint company Clare.

Rich Wood

Pollard says if youโ€™re looking to add new furniture like tables or cabinets, look for statement pieces made of rich wood. We love the Farmhouse Side Table - Pond from Goodee made of high-quality oak.

The Walking Natural Wood Bench from 54Kibo is a stunning statement piece that will only look better with time.

Wallpaper is a great option for introducing color into an otherwise bland space. Pollard says when youโ€™re choosing wallpaper for your home, the bolder the better, like this colorful print from Uzo Art.

At the end of a long day, your home is where you come to relax. Pollard suggests introducing soft colors and luxurious fabrics in your bedroom or living space to make it a place you want to unwind. The Brownstone Sage Embroidered Rug from Create the Culture is the perfect place to leave your slippers when youโ€™re ready to sleep.
