Dezeen Awards 2025 interiors shortlist highlights world's most striking spaces

Dezeen has announced the interiors shortlist for this year's Dezeen Awards, which includes projects by Dimore Studio, Lina Ghotmeh and Isern Serra.

The 69 shortlisted projects, which are in the running for awards in 13 different interiors project categories, are by studios located across 22 different countries including Morocco, Singapore, Finland, Canada, Costa Rica and Slovakia.

The countries topping the shortlist are the UK with ten shortlisted projects, China with nine, the USA and Japan tied with seven, followed by Australia with six and Singapore with five.

Shortlisted projects include the "cinematic" interior of the world's most famous train line in Italy, a fashion boutique evocative of traditional fabric ateliers in Shanghai and a modelling agency designed as a "landscape" for taking photos in Barcelona.

Dezeen Awards 2025 shortlists revealed this week

Dezeen Awards 2025, in partnership with Bentley, will reveal all shortlisted projects this week. The architecture shortlist was revealed yesterday and the design shortlist will be announced tomorrow, followed by the sustainability shortlist on Thursday.

This year's nomination-based Designers of the Year and Bentley Lighthouse Award shortlists will be announced this Friday and next Monday, respectively.

"The interiors shortlist features a range of breathtaking designs," said Ben Saltmer, Dezeen Awards judge and head of lifestyle design at Bentley.

"They show how important interior spaces are to every part of our lives, from healthcare to homes."
