Wall Art Trends 2025 — The Styles and Colours Defining Australian Interiors
Wall Art Trends 2025 — The Styles and Colours Defining Australian Interiors
Australian interior design is in the middle of a significant shift, and wall art is at the centre of it. The cool, minimal grey palette of the 2010s is giving way to warmer, more organic aesthetics. Large-format statement pieces are replacing cluttered gallery walls. Textured abstracts with painterly quality are outperforming sleek geometric prints. This guide covers the wall art trends defining 2025 — and how to apply them in your home.
At Olive et Oriel we track what sells, what styles our artists are producing, and how Australian interiors are evolving. We've been at the centre of wall art in Australia since 2015, and we're sharing what we see for 2025.
Trend 1: Warm Abstract Art
The single biggest wall art trend of 2025 is the shift from cool, grey-toned abstract art to warm, earthy abstracts. Terracotta, blush, sage, warm cream and dusty mauve are replacing the dominant blues, greys and whites of recent years. The feeling is warmer, more personal and more organic.
The best-performing abstract art in this trend has a painterly, textured quality — visible marks, organic forms, a sense of the artist's hand. Hard-edged geometric abstraction has softened. Brushwork, texture and warmth are the defining qualities of the moment.

Trend 2: The Statement Piece Movement
One of the most significant shifts in 2025 is away from dense gallery walls and toward singular, large-format statement pieces. Where 2018–2022 was defined by the maximalist gallery wall — 9, 12, 15 prints covering an entire wall — 2025 is more restrained: one large canvas at 90×120cm or 100×150cm, hung with space around it, allowed to breathe.
This approach works particularly well in contemporary and minimalist interiors, where one bold work carries the entire room. Our extra large wall art collection is the place to start — statement pieces from 90cm to 150cm+ designed to fill a wall with intention.
For those who still love the gallery wall approach, the 2025 version is more curated — fewer pieces, more space between them, a clearer editorial point of view. Our matching print sets support this with pre-curated groupings that feel considered rather than collected.
Trend 3: Nature, Botanicals and Coastal Art
Nature-inspired art continues to strengthen in 2025. Botanical prints, abstract coastal references, landscape photography and organic nature imagery all resonate with the broader movement toward warmth, texture and the natural world in Australian interiors.
The specific trend within botanical art is toward more abstract interpretations — less literal botanical illustration, more painterly organic forms inspired by nature. Abstract coastal art (water, sand, dunes, horizon) is performing strongly in beach and bush-adjacent markets, and increasingly in urban apartments where the visual escape is the point.
Browse our coastal and beach art collection and our botanical and floral range — both curated with the 2025 aesthetic in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What wall art is trending in 2025?
The dominant wall art trends in Australian interiors for 2025 are warm abstract art (organic forms in terracotta, blush and warm neutrals), large-format statement pieces (one big canvas instead of many small ones), and nature-inspired prints including botanicals, coastal landscapes and abstract nature photography. Gallery walls remain popular but are becoming more curated and less crowded.
What art colours are trending in 2025?
Warm earthy tones dominate 2025 Australian wall art trends: burnt terracotta, warm sage, soft blush, dusty mauve, warm cream and butter yellow. The move away from cool grey and stark white continues. Blue remains popular but shifts toward warmer, more muted blues — dusty blue, slate blue, indigo — rather than bright cobalt.
Is abstract art still popular in 2025?
Yes — abstract art remains the most popular wall art style in Australian interiors. In 2025, the trend is toward organic, textured abstracts with a painterly quality, rather than hard-edged geometric abstraction. Warm palette abstracts with visible brushwork or organic forms are performing particularly strongly.
What is replacing grey in interior art in 2025?
Warm terracotta, sage green, dusty blush and warm cream are replacing the cool grey palette that dominated 2015–2022. The move is toward colours with warmth and depth — tones that feel lived-in and organic rather than sleek and minimal. This shift affects both art choices and interior colour palettes.
What size art is trending in 2025?
Large format is the dominant sizing trend in 2025 — one statement canvas at 90×120cm or 100×150cm rather than multiple small prints. Gallery walls remain popular but the trend is toward fewer, more considered pieces rather than dense salon-style arrangements. The 'bigger is better' principle has become mainstream.
