The connection with real landscapes, noble materials and sensory palettes set the design direction for this year. In this context, new collections are emerging, inspired by the need for well-being, calm and belonging.
After a period of fast-paced living, prolonged confinement and digital overexposure, interior design has turned strongly toward the natural. This trend, which has taken center stage in recent years, today defines many of the most influential proposals in architecture and decoration: noble materials, colors that evoke real landscapes and an aesthetic that invites us to reconnect with the essential. In contrast to excessive brightness and industrial lines, 2025 is shaping up to be the year of sensorial, introspective and emotional design.
The connection with nature not only responds to an aesthetic quest, but to a vital need. Recent studies on spatial wellness reveal that incorporating natural elements into the home - whether through plants, textures or color palettes - can reduce stress, improve rest and increase a sense of balance. In the face of cities that overwhelm, interiors that soothe.
This change is reflected in the new chromatic proposals. Instead of intense contrasts or artificial colors, this year's palette is dominated by mineral whites, deep greens, warm ochers and soft grays, all inspired by real territories and geological formations. Design becomes landscape, and spaces are transformed into sensory extensions of the natural world.
An example of this trend is our new collection of melamine designs, which takes as a reference places like the Salar de Uyuni, the mangroves of the Caribbean or the rocky canyons of Central Asia. Shades such as the porous white of Uyuni or the deep green of Mangrove not only decorate, but also seek to evoke spaciousness, refuge and balance. Shades such as Terracotta Charyn, inspired by millenary formations, or Ash Grey, which refers to beaches shaped by centuries of volcanic activity, also stand out.
"Today people are looking for spaces that make them feel good, where they can reconnect and find balance.This collection responds to that need, incorporating colors inspired by nature to create environments that convey calm, depth and meaning," says Sebastián García, MASISA's Technical Development Manager. According to the specialist, the choice of color is key to the experience of the space: it influences how we experience it, how we move through it and how we feel when we live in it.
The rise of biophilic design, a format that integrates elements of nature into architectural design, also supports this evolution. But unlike in previous stages, where it was enough to add a vertical garden or a plant fiber lamp, today it is about an integral look. The new palettes seek that the colors themselves in their textures, shades and references activate memories and senses.
