As the new year begins, it’s time to look ahead at the trends that will shape interior design in 2025. At Modo Mio, we’re inspired by the timeless elegance of Italian craftsmanship and the understated beauty of Scandinavian minimalism. Here’s a curated list of design elements to watch for and incorporate into your home this year.

Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year is PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warm, rich brown that exudes comfort and timeless elegance. This inviting hue evokes the essence of chocolate and coffee, offering a grounding and sophisticated touch to any space.

A beautifully curated home strikes the perfect balance between old and new—where sleek modern design meets the character and history of vintage pieces. Blending contemporary and antique elements creates spaces that feel layered, soulful, and timeless. The key is knowing how to mix styles in a way that feels intentional rather than chaotic.

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood and function of any room. Here’s how to choose the right lighting to enhance each space in your home:

• Living Room: Opt for layered lighting to create warmth and versatility. A combination of overhead lights, floor lamps, and task lighting can create the perfect atmosphere for different activities, from reading to entertaining.

• Kitchen: Functional lighting is key. Pendant lights above an island, under-cabinet lighting, and spotlights for prep areas will ensure a well-lit and efficient cooking space.

• Bedroom: Soft, ambient lighting is ideal. Consider using dimmable lamps, sconces, or fairy lights to create a relaxed, calming environment.

Color has the power to change the entire feel of a room. Whether you're looking to make a small room feel larger or create a cozy atmosphere, here's how to use color effectively in your home.
