New Year, New Trends: Catch Up on 2025 Home Designs


2025 looks to be the year for bold colors, historical accents, and architectural details. Whether you're planning a full renovation or just looking to refresh your decor, here are some of the top home trends to watch out for this year:

1. Color Drenching
Color drenching involves using one bold color throughout a room, from the walls to the upholstery and accessories. This trend creates a cohesive and vibrant look, with different shades of the chosen color adding depth and interest. My bold colors this year are orange and blue but I'm sticking to accent pieces to create my drama.

2. Arches
Arches are making a playful and soft comeback in home design. From arched mirrors and headboards to windows and doorways, this trend adds a touch of elegance and charm, and can really bring character to any space.

  1. Pops of Red
The unexpected red theory suggests that incorporating pops of red, whether large or small, instantly enhances a space. This trend adds a vibrant and energetic element to interiors, making them feel more lively and inviting.

5. Statement Rugs
Bold patterns and dramatic geometric designs are taking center stage in the world of rugs. Statement rugs made from natural fibers or silk add personality and style to any room without the need for a complete overhaul. I love bold colors so it's exciting to see this trend taking hold again.

6. English-Style Kitchens
Inspired by classic English country style, English-style kitchens are making a big comeback. Think rich wood cabinets, historical paint colors like moody blues and deep greens, natural countertop materials like soapstone and butcher block, and large range alcoves. This trend brings a cozy, timeless feel to the heart of your home. I hail from an English background so no push back from me. Bring it on!

7. Casual Dining
The trend of casual dining is all about making mealtime more relaxed and enjoyable. Breakfast rooms and tables in kitchens are replacing formal dining rooms, making it easier for families to gather and share meals together. I'm still a traditional dining room fan but I'm seeing lots of great design ideas so, why not?

8. Deco-Inspired Details
Deco-inspired elegance continues to inspire home design in 2025. Hand-rubbed Venetian plaster treatments, suede or parchment paneled walls, and stone-cased doorways and baseboards add a touch of sophistication and luxury to any space. These designs can really make a home pop but be careful and make sure it compliments the home and fits the style.

These trends offer a mix of classic charm and contemporary style, making it easy to create a home that reflects your personality and meets your needs. Which of these trends are you most excited to try in your own home?
