Home Trends that We Will See in 2025

December 11, 2024

As we look ahead to 2025, home design is taking bold steps toward personalization, comfort, and sustainability. Designers have been talking about what they expect to see this year and it is all about making your home a true reflection of your personality and lifestyle.  

A Custom Home Style
Home design is becoming more individual, reflecting the personal tastes and lifestyles of homeowners. It is becoming more important to create a space that you want to live in and feels personalized to what’s important to you. Whether it’s through bold colors that make a statement, harmonious neutral palettes, or eclectic design choices, the goal is to craft a home that feels authentically “you.”

This shift toward personalization has been seen evidently in bathrooms and kitchens by embracing bold, standout designs while outdoor spaces transform into entertainment havens. Niche areas like coffee stations or wine sellers are gaining popularity, adding unique flair and functionality to homes. Designers are prioritizing homeowners’ personal expression, a style that fits their lifestyle over trends. 

Warm Colors and Amped-Up Earth Tones
The reign of sterile, monochromatic white spaces has begun to decline as homeowners shift toward cozier, more inviting interiors. The minimalistic “clean girl” aesthetic, characterized by cool tones and sparse decor, is giving way to warmer, richer palettes that evoke comfort and hominess. While neutrals remain a staple of design for their versatility, their tones are evolving. 

Brown is still set to be a major player in 2025. From soft neutrals to rich shades of brown, terracotta, deep burgundy, and saturated greens are dominating interiors. Muted blues and soft greens round out this palette, adding depth and variety. 

Mixing Metals
Mixing metals is making a stylish comeback, with warmer tones like brass, gold, and copper leading the charge. This trend adds depth and dimension to any space, especially in kitchens where contrasting finishes can elevate the overall design. By blending different metal tones, homeowners can create a layered, dynamic look that feels both modern and timeless. 

Sustainability and Multiuse Appliances
Sustainability is becoming a top priority for home owners and home brands are stepping up to meet the demand. Many people are opting for eco-friendly upgrades that benefit both the planet and their wallets. Energy-efficient appliances, such as sinks and toilets designed to reduce water consumption and induction cooktops that lower reliance on natural gas, are gaining traction. Builders are also embracing sustainable materials, making it easier for homeowners to make green choices without compromising on style or functionality. 

With more people aiming to maximize the use of smaller spaces, appliances like combination ovens and air fryers or washer-dryer combos are becoming increasingly popular. These clever solutions help homeowners optimize their square footage without sacrificing utility or aesthetic appeal. 

Vintage Revival
Vintage trends are making a major comeback, blending accents from various decades to create a fresh and eclectic style. Homeowners are moving away from mass-produced pieces and embracing unique, one-of-a-kind items that reflect their personality and taste. Look to incorporate vintage furniture, textiles, and colors to craft a space that feels rich in character. 

Biophilia
The biophilia trend is flourishing in home design, drawing inspiration directly from the beauty of nature. Homeowners are finding ways to incorporate natural elements into their spaces, from earthy color palettes to sustainable materials such as bamboo, cork, wood, stone, and clay. Biophilic design also bridges the gap between indoor and outdoor spaces whether it’s through expansive windows, sliding doors, or open layouts, the goal is to create a harmonious connection with the natural world. Adding greenery, like houseplants or vertical gardens is a simple way to embrace this trend while bringing freshness and life into any room. 

At-Home Wellness Spaces
Bathrooms are transforming from purely functional spaces into a place for relaxation and rejuvenation. Homeowners are incorporating spa-like accents such as deep plunging tubs, aromatherapy features, towel warmers, and bidets to create a calming atmosphere.

This trend extends beyond bathrooms into dedicated wellness spaces within the home. Requests for saunas, steam rooms, and cold plunges are rising as people seek to bring a tranquil retreat into their everyday lives. These spaces, whether a private wellness room, a quiet reading nook, or a meditation corner, offer a personal haven for relaxation.
