A change of season brings more than a shift in weather. It transforms how we feel, live and move through our homes. And in 2025, that shift is showing up in our interiors.
According to Diana Altiparmakova, Head of Product and Marketing at Luxaflex Window Fashions, the emerging trend is intentional seasonality, which creates spaces that feel cosy and grounding in winter, then light, breezy, and open as the weather warms.
Research shows curtains remain the most popular window treatment, particularly in bedrooms and living areas, with nearly one-third of homeowners now opting for motorised or automated solutions. It’s a sign of design becoming more intelligent and atmospheric.
Here are four of the key design moods that are shaping the next chapter of Australian interiors.
1. Mocha Mousse
A rich, neutral tone inspired by Pantone’s 2025 Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse is all about comfort and warmth. This palette pairs beautifully with antique whites, soft clays and arid desert tones, and invites layering — both in colour and texture.
“Rich, grounded tones bring warmth and nourishment for the mind, body and soul,” says Altiparmakova. Think soft throws, velvet headboards, natural fibres and curved furniture. Silhouette Shadings and sheer curtain layers are ideal companions, balancing visual weight with ethereal softness.
2. Luxe Farmhouse
Classic symmetry, layered neutrals, and a clean, considered palette, Luxe Farmhouse blends traditional charm with modern restraint. Think antique whites, muted greys and tonal linen, layered with deep tan or matte black accents.
“Sheer curtains work beautifully here,” says Altiparmakova. “They softly diffuse sunlight to brighten interiors while offering subtle privacy—perfect for both summer and winter living.” Pair soft fabrics with raw finishes for depth and dimension.
3. Modern Gatsby
Bold, elegant and full of texture, this look fuses vintage glamour with contemporary sharpness. Deep jewel tones, such as garnet red and mustard gold, play hero against rich fabrics and metallic touches.
“Modern Gatsby is about drama with discipline,” says Altiparmakova. The Vivid Curtain collection brings a textured, vintage elegance that works well in both classic and modern spaces.
4. Coastal Canvas
Forever timeless in Australian design, the coastal look is getting an upgrade. Think less beach shack, more curated calm. This theme centres around soft blues, muted greens and sandy neutrals, paired with natural materials and softly diffused light.
“Layering curtains and blinds is key,” says Altiparmakova. “Pairing sheer curtains with Duette Shades introduces softness, insulation and flexibility — essential for comfort across seasons.” Floor-to-ceiling treatments create height and elegance, while automation makes adjusting to light and temperature effortless.”

When Lamborghini takes to the water, subtlety isn’t on the agenda. Unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT is a 30-metre superyacht that fuses Italian automotive theatre with cutting-edge naval engineering.
The model builds on the collaboration that began in 2020 with the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, a sell-out success that celebrated the marque’s founding year.
This new flagship pushes the partnership between Automobili Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group to a grander scale, designed to deliver the same adrenaline rush at sea that drivers expect behind the wheel.
“The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT redefines the concept of nautical luxury,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
“It is not only a yacht, but an affirmation of Italian excellence. The Italian Sea Group and Automobili Lamborghini share an exclusive clientele who are passionate about beauty, technology, and extreme performance.”
Design cues are unmistakably Lamborghini. The yacht’s sharp exterior lines echo the Fenomeno supercar revealed at Monterey Car Week, complete with Giallo Crius launch livery and signature Y-shaped lighting.
Inside, the cockpit and lounges mirror the DNA of Sant’Agata supercars through hexagonal motifs, sculptural seating and dramatic contrasts. With accommodation for up to nine guests and three crew cabins, indulgence meets practicality on every deck.
Performance is equally uncompromising. Three MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and triple surface propellers generate a combined 7,600 horsepower, driving the yacht to 45 knots at full throttle, with a cruising speed of 35 knots. Two 35 kW generators provide additional efficiency and reliability, ensuring the yacht’s power matches its presence.
Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini’s Design Director, said: “With the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT, we aimed to create a product that embodies the main design characteristics of our super sports cars. All the details, from the exterior to the colour, to the interior areas, recall and are inspired by Lamborghini’s DNA.”
Presented in scale at Monaco, the definitive Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT is scheduled to hit the water at the end of 2027. For those who demand their indulgence measured not only in metres but in knots, this is Lamborghini’s most extravagant expression yet.
