In 2025, we celebrate the beauty of craft techniques and timeless materials. With the residential trend Cultural Resonance, interiors become a reflection of honest cultural exchanges where craftsmanship and tradition take center stage. Colors, materials and patterns tell stories, and each item contributes to an interior that exudes warmth, character and meaning. Want to incorporate this trend into your own collection? Then be sure to come for inspiration at the Monday Opening Home & Living on June 30.
Colors: warm, deep and worldly
Forget minimalist beige! Cultural Resonance brings an interior to life thanks to a rich and harmonious mix of colors. Inspired by landscapes, traditions and symbolic meanings, these hues create warm and characterful homes. Think warm and earthy terracotta, sunny and vibrant ochre yellow, and classic and timeless indigo blue.
An exuberant mix and match or incorporated into subtle accents, this color palette sets the stage for an inviting and atmospheric interior that feels like a trip around the world.

Materials: craftsmanship in the spotlight
Having items too similar to each other can make an interior rather monotonous. The art lies in combining different materials and textures.
Rough and tough: waxed canvas, leather, jute, scaffold wood ...
Soft and comfortable: wool, cotton, linen, velour ...
Mixing raw and refined materials creates a diverse and dynamic interior. Your clients will have the opportunity to create interesting contrasts that emphasize or refine this trend. Think of a coarsely woven wool plaid over a leather armchair, a hand-embroidered pillow on a wooden sofa, or an industrial iron side table combined with a soft fabric pouf.
Interior with character
An interior should be seen, and with the Cultural Resonance trend, that idea is only encouraged. As a retailer, you offer your customers the chance to create a home full of stories, where every detail exudes craftsmanship and cultural richness. Whether they are looking for one statement piece or want to combine several items with an eclectic color palette, your collection makes it possible.
From hand-embroidered pillows and candle holders (Home Society) to playful wall decorations and vases (Edelman and Decostar), each item adds an authentic touch.

Furniture pieces like the “furry” chairs by JF The Reborn Home bring extra coziness, while an indigo blue frying pan by The Cookware Company and reusable drinking bottles by Codera carry this colorful trend through to the kitchen. An interior with character? That starts with a unique collection that combines craft and design.
