biOrb Trends 2025: Elevate Your Home with Stylish Aquariums, Terrariums & Vivariums

As home design continues to embrace the beauty of nature, aquariums, terrariums, and vivariums are emerging as key decor elements for 2025. Whether you're drawn to the calming presence of water, the lush greenery of a terrarium, or the immersive world of a vivarium, these trends seamlessly blend sustainability, aesthetics, and innovation. Let's explore the top aquarium and nature-inspired trends shaping interiors this year. 

1. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Designs 

Sustainability remains at the forefront of design trends, with a growing emphasis on eco-friendly aquariums, sustainable home decor, and energy-efficient design solutions (ELLE Decor). Aquariums are no exception. While some may question the use of plastic in aquariums, biOrb is committed to creating durable, energy-efficient, and long-lasting designs. Unlike traditional glass tanks, biOrb’s lightweight acrylic aquariums require significantly less energy to maintain a healty eco-system within because acrylic serves as an insulator.  This means you don’t lose as much heat as you would with a glass aquarium, making them an environmentally conscious choice in line with 2025’s sustainability trends. Their low-energy LED lighting and advanced filtration systems also help conserve electricity and water, aligning with the broader movement toward energy-efficient home decor. 

Terrariums and vivariums further support sustainability by creating self-sustaining ecosystems that require minimal resources. The biOrb AIR terrarium and EARTH vivarium provide controlled environments where plants and small reptiles (in the EARTH) can thrive with minimal intervention. This emphasis on low-maintenance, high-impact natural decor makes them a favorite among eco-conscious consumers.

2. Earthy and Moody Tones 

Interior design in 2025 is shifting toward rich, earthy colors that evoke a sense of warmth and sophistication. Deep greens, browns, and warm neutrals are popular choices, aligning with the latest home decor trends (ELLE Decor). A biOrb aquarium or terrarium naturally complements these tones. The vibrant aquatic plants, colorful fish, and organic elements of a biOrb setup add depth and movement, enhancing any room’s aesthetic. 

3. Geometric Designs and Bold Patterns 

Clean lines and geometric aquarium designs and modern aquariums are rising in popularity, making uniquely shaped aquariums and terrariums an ideal choice. According to interior design experts, bold geometric elements are a defining trend in 2025, adding structured contrast to organic designs (Forbes). biOrb’s variety of shapes—from spheres to cylinders—aligns perfectly with this trend. By incorporating bold backgrounds, intricate decor pieces, and sculptural elements, homeowners can turn their biOrb into a functional work of art.  

4. Nostalgic and Vintage Aesthetics 

Vintage-inspired design is making a major comeback, and aquariums are no exception. Decor with nostalgic elements, from mid-century modern furniture to antique finishes, is regaining popularity in home design (Better Homes & Gardens). Retro-style decor, ornate aquarium stands, and antique finishes can elevate a space while maintaining a timeless, sophisticated appeal. Whether incorporating classic fish species or embracing mid-century modern decor elements, aquariums and terrariums fit seamlessly into nostalgic interior styles. 

5. Biophilic Design and Indoor-Outdoor Living 

Biophilic design—bringing nature-inspired home decor into the home—continues to dominate interiors in 2025, making aquariums and terrariums essential wellness-focused additions. Aquariums, terrariums, and vivariums are central to this trend, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. Live in a space with limited natural lighting?  No problem!   Our MCR Aquarium models include a remote so you can pick from 8-, 10-, 12- or 14-hour day and night cycles.  AIR terrariums include perfectly placed LED lights that support the growth of your plants, while replicating sundown to sunset.  Our EARTH Vivarium’s complete environment and lighting can be controlled all via our app! 

The biOrb AIR terrarium is particularly suited to this trend, allowing homeowners to cultivate an indoor rainforest environment with automated humidity control and airflow regulation. Similarly, the EARTH vivarium brings tropical and desert habitats indoors, offering a perfect ecosystem for small reptiles and amphibians. 

6. Personalized and Maximalist Decor 

Gone are the days of minimalism—2025 is all about self-expression and personalization. Aquariums and terrariums allow for endless customization, from vibrant plant life to intricate decor elements that reflect individual tastes. Whether creating a serene, Zen-like escape or a vibrant, maximalist centerpiece, biOrb offers the flexibility to match any design vision.
