Six Luxury Design Trends for Fall 2025: South Florida Edition

When most people think of fall, they usually picture crisp air, golden leaves, and cozy sweaters. In South Florida, the reality is a little different. The weather stays warm here in Palm Beach, but that doesn’t mean our homes can’t embrace the richness and intimacy of the season. And this fall, it’s all about creating interiors that feel layered, personal, and inviting.

Krista Watterworth Alterman, Executive Creative Director of KH by Vesta Home, shared in a recent Elle Decor feature that our design team is leaning into “sexy, deep tones such as burgundy, plum, and mocha” to create what she calls seasonal intimacy—spaces designed to feel warm, grounded, and soulful, no matter the climate outside. Here are six other design trends Krista expects to see in Fall 2025:

Earthy, Cozy Color Palettes

Rich shades of burgundy, plum, and mocha bring depth and atmosphere, perfect for transforming interiors into retreats you’ll want to linger in. Even in South Florida, where the sun is still shining, these palettes give homes a sense of intimacy and balance.

Curvy Furniture & Organic Shapes

Elegant study featuring built-in bookshelves, a rounded ottoman, soft upholstered chair, and a globe chandelier, with a piano and cello adding warmth.

Arched doorways, rounded seating, and scalloped headboards soften interiors while adding sculptural impact. These organic forms bring movement, offering an elegant contrast to more structured architecture.

Layered, Personality-Driven Interiors

Cookie-cutter perfection is out. Homes this fall are moving toward a curated mix that feels collected over time. Pattern play, layered textures, and personal treasures tell a story—what Krista describes as perfectly imperfect spaces that feel authentic, inviting, and lived in.

Artful, Expressive Finishes

Antique mirrors, colorful millwork, and even a touch of Victorian florals are returning to the conversation. These details add history and playfulness, blending timeless craftsmanship with a fresh, modern perspective.

Dramatic Stone & Metallics

Statement marbles and metallic finishes are commanding attention. Think green-veined marble fireplaces or silver-toned accents paired with organic textures. It’s all about contrast—polished surfaces grounded by natural warmth.

Pattern Drenching

Maximalism is thriving. In Palm Beach, bold pattern play has always been part of the story, but now it’s a national trend. Layering florals, geometrics, and nature-inspired prints brings energy and individuality to every corner of the home.

✨ Whether you’re embracing deep, moody tones, curving silhouettes, or fearless pattern mixing, Fall 2025 is about making your home deeply personal—intimate, personal, and soulful—even here in South Florida, where “cozy” isn’t always part of the vocabulary
