Gone are the days of cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all design. More often, we’re seeing personal styles shine through a curated mix of furnishings and design features that tells a story. From layered patterns and rich textures to heirloom accents and bold-veined stone, truly unique spaces are the new gold standard. In addition to embracing our own personal styles, trends are also leaning toward comfort, with people prioritizing a cozy, relaxing aesthetic that feels like a serene sanctuary at the end of a long day. So, it’s safe to assume 2025 will be a year of warm colors, plush materials, and even more delicate design details that make our spaces truly feel like home.
Moody Color Palettes
Warm tones have been trending for a while, but now rosier hues are being mixed with earthy colors and rich wood tones. The resulting spaces feel relaxing and cozy—the perfect at-home retreat.
Curated Collections & Heirlooms
Instead of adorning their spaces with impersonal, generic decor, homeowners are embracing objects that are near and dear to their hearts. For some, it might be handmade pottery or a collection of antique glass bottles, while for others, perhaps it’s a grandmother’s slipper chair or cherished set of porcelain. Thoughtfully selecting a unique collection or item to showcase can enhance the personality of a space and foster a deeper sense of belonging.
The Evolution of White
The classic white kitchen will always be timeless, but today’s interpretation is warmer and richer—like cream in coffee. These tones might appear white at times, with a bit more complexity and sophistication to set them apart. This trend evokes the elegance of Gilded Age sculleries, the soft glow of candlelight, or handmade antique lace.
Natural Stone
While man-made quartz countertops have their place, natural stone brings depth, soul, and an elevated feel to interiors. A slab of natural stone is as unique as a piece of original art—no two pieces are the same. Frequently, materials like marble, quartzite, and soapstone have been featured across the design world, and there is no sign of that changing anytime soon.
Open, Yet Defined
Many homeowners are looking for the best of both worlds when it comes to layout. Often, the question is, “How can we have the ease of open-concept design with the ability to create privacy and more defined spaces?” In some cases, a thoughtfully placed cased opening can create enough definition. For others, adding pocket doors might give the optimal blend of openness and seclusion. Either way, the ultimate goal is to create a harmonious balance between communal and private spaces.
