Top Art Trends for 2025: fresh inspiration for every space
With 2025 fast approaching, our in-house experts have pinpointed the art styles set to inspire and captivate us in the coming year. From bringing the outdoors in to embracing small-scale masterpieces, here’s what’s trending and why it matters for your space!
Bringing the outdoors in: nature as the new must-have
In the UK, sunshine may not be a given, but there are countless ways to explore the great outdoors and experience the beauty of nature from the warmth and comfort of your own home all year round. Natural landscapes and wildlife themes are taking over, bringing a fresh, organic vibe into our living space.
Find tranquillity in beautiful landscapes from visionary colourists such as Jeffrey Pratt, Michael F. Rumsby and Judith Bridgland; feel the ocean’s power with abstract seascapes from Duncan MacGregor, experience the world’s most extraordinary natural wonders with Philip Gray, or escape into Danielle O’Connor Akiyama’s magical world of waterfalls and cherry blossom; celebrate the diversity of the animal kingdom with the breath-taking talents of painter Dave White, sculptor Hamish Mackie or photographer Harry Skeggs; or simply relax into the beauty of an explosive sunset with Anna Gammans.
Bold and bright: colour that dares to be seen
Bold colours are back – think sunshine yellow, fuchsia pink or the brightest turquoise - and they’re here to make a statement. Art that’s unapologetically vibrant and joyful has been a huge trend in 2024 and it is one that looks set to continue, filling our homes with energy and uplifting hues!
We have street-inspired Pop art from stars including the unstoppable Mr Brainwash and hugely successful UK artist Dan Pearce, brightly coloured biting satire from The Connor Brothers, innovative and immersive lenticular works from the brilliant Patrick Rubinstein, bold and vibrant abstracts from Charmaine Chanakira and Simon Kenny, uplifting work from ‘the nation’s favourite artist’ Doug Hyde…the list goes on and on! Joyful and uplifting, this bold, bright art is art with personality, that ensures any room becomes instantly memorable.
Modern art: innovative ideas that have stood the test of time
Modern Art isn’t just about the present - it’s the legacy of artists who broke boundaries, and this year, it’s all about reconnecting with those defining modern masters. From Warhol’s pop art to Picasso’s abstract explorations, our portfolio boasts an array of 20th and 21st-century trailblazers where iconic movements, from Fauvism to Surrealism, come alive in works by Chagall, Miró, and Dali.
These are artworks which are always trending - they carry the weight of history and creativity and regardless of whether they are uplifting or light-hearted, they will always add depth and gravitas to any space.
Abstract art: a personal journey
In 2024, abstract works have been redefining spaces with their capacity to evoke emotion and conversation. Demand for these pieces has been on the rise for some time, with collectors saying they often feel a deeply personal response to their chosen piece.
From Simon Kenny’s atmospheric layers to Tabitha Millet’s minimalist forms, abstract pieces add texture and intrigue to our walls, while Charmaine Chanakira and Lou Sheldon introduce a cultural richness with their showstopping works will speak to those looking for depth and discovery in their decor. Whether it's Rothko-inspired colour fields or dynamic forms, abstract art brings flexibility in interpretation, and in a world where individuality in interiors is more valued than ever, this unique connection adds a special touch.
Miniature masterpieces: compact with an impact
Do you live in a place that is…shall we say spatially challenged? A studio apartment or a ‘tiny home’? Or maybe you are running out of wall space? We have plenty of options for you whether you’re working within four walls or in a cosy courtyard and need something small but perfectly formed…after all, size isn’t everything.
The Connor Brothers' vintage book covers offer a nostalgic pop of style in a charming miniature format, while idyllic pastoral scenes by John Waterhouse or Sherree Valentine-Daines are also available in a size perfect for cosy corners. For a three-dimensional touch, explore smaller-scale sculptures by Hamish Mackie and Jennine Parker, which add a curated, boutique feel to any setting. Small pieces pack a punch, proving that art doesn’t need to be large to be transformative.
Enjoy browsing our top trends for ’25, and let art inspire your year with a fresh perspective and bold possibilities! (But remember, while trends may come and go, art transcends fashion – if you love it, it will never go out of style!)
