It is only the combination of numerous design elements that turns empty rooms into rooms with a unique character. Which furnishing style successfully reflects the residents depends of course on their personal nature and taste. But regardless of whether you are a purist or maximalist, a vintage lover or a hygge fan, aesthetic interiors always follow certain principles. A harmonious overall picture is created with the help of the right lighting as well as by combining different colours and shapes, patterns and materials.
When it comes to interior design, there is a special focus on two styles this year: Quiet Luxury and Retro Chic.
The 'quiet luxury' is not defined by bright colours, ephemeral patterns or extravagant shapes. Instead, it is clear lines, timeless shapes and high-quality materials such as marble or wood that express its value. Rooms that follow the Quiet Luxury furnishing trend effortlessly convey peace, harmony and relaxation, while at the same time radiating elegance.
The retro trend brings elements of the 1960s into the present. The material wood, especially from native trees such as oak or beech, is characteristic of furniture in the Sixties style. Velvety-soft fabrics, decorative objects in a shiny chrome look and warm colours such as bright orange or earthy brown provide the ideal degree of cosiness.
Year after year, the well-known US color developer Pantone determines the color of the year. For 2025, the choice fell on the shade Mocha Mousse. It is a chocolaty brown with warm undertones. Its special intensity literally adds colour to the human desire for comfort and small everyday pleasures such as a hot cup of coffee or a delicious piece of chocolate.
The noble brown has a harmonious effect, radiates warmth and gives rooms a lot of cosiness. In combination with other beige, cream or brown tones or through the use of high-quality materials such as wood, wool or velvet, the effect of the Color of the Year 2025 Mocha Mousse is further enhanced.

Both the stylish furniture and the trend colour only unfold their full radiance when the lighting in the room is right. On the one hand, luminaires in tasteful designs ensure this, and on the other hand, the matching windows make their contribution.
For example, windows from the GEALAN-LINEAR® system are ideal. Their simple and clear form reflects current architectural trends without losing any of their timelessness . In this way, they provide plenty of daylight in the tastefully furnished rooms for several decades. Another suitable alternative can be found in the GEALAN-KONTUR system®.
On the inside, the profiles can be foiled according to personal taste. The wood décor foil used in the picture sets an elegant contrast to the design of the rest of the room with its natural oak tone. For the exterior, GEALAN-acrylcolor® is the best choice both aesthetically and functionally. The surface technology not only refines the windows in trendy colours, but also makes them easy to clean, robust and durable.
