The Dezeen Awards 2025 once again celebrates the global design community by unveiling its shortlist for the Interiors category, revealing some of the most inspiring spaces that redefine the way people live, work, and interact. Curated by Dezeen, this year’s selection showcases how interior design continues to evolve toward creativity, sustainability, and emotional resonance.
A Global Celebration of Interior Design
With more than 4,300 entries from 85 countries, the 2025 edition of Dezeen Awards has set a new benchmark for global participation. A total of 269 projects are shortlisted across 49 categories, with the Interiors shortlist capturing a remarkable diversity—from boutique hotels and contemporary offices to private residences and retail environments. Notable names like Herzog & de Meuron, Foster + Partners, Olson Kundig Architects, Heatherwick Studio, and Neri & Hu stand alongside emerging studios that are reshaping design dialogues worldwide.
Championing Emerging Voices
According to Claire Barrett, awards and events director at Dezeen, the 2025 shortlist highlights the platform’s mission to support both renowned and rising talents. “It’s great to see Dezeen Awards reflecting Dezeen’s role in championing not only established architects and designers, but emerging ones too,” Barrett said, noting that over 60 percent of this year’s entries come from small studios. This inclusive spirit ensures that creativity, regardless of scale, remains at the heart of the competition.
Anticipation Builds for the Awards Ceremony
The winners of the Dezeen Awards 2025 will be announced on 25 November during an exclusive event at Exhibition White City, London. The ceremony promises to bring together some of the world’s most influential architects and designers, uniting the community in a celebration of innovation and design excellence. Attendees can secure tickets at a special discounted rate for participating studios, while general tickets are available to the public.
Beyond Recognition: A Platform for Influence
Beyond the accolades, the Dezeen Awards continue to shape discourse in architecture and interior design. The program’s credibility lies in its transparent selection process, international jury, and association with industry-leading partners like Bentley Motors, the headline sponsor. As Dezeen remains the world’s most-read design magazine—with over 10 million monthly readers—its awards serve as a true barometer of contemporary design culture and global creative influence.
