Trendy or timeless? It’s the age-old question we hear time and again.

While timeless design will always have a place in the home, a well-chosen trend can inject character, freshness and personality into your space. As we step into 2025, here are the standout trends you can expect to see.

A change in tone

Cinnamon slate


Bejamine Moore’s 2025 color of the year, says it all. Warm and nuanced tones feel effortless and versatile, pairing beautifully with both classic neutrals and vibrant accents. From kitchen cabinets to bathroom fixtures, rich and earthy colors are trending and will bring a depth and sophistication to any space.

Monochromatic woods


One of the most exciting predictions for 2025 is the rise of midtone and walnut stains. Integrated design is key, think paneled appliances, seamlessly matching cabinet hoods, and millwork that flows into flooring. This cohesive approach creates a sense of striking continuity throughout the home

Moody marbles


The reign of light and bright marble is giving way to dramatic, bold veining in rich hues like burgundy, green, and purple. These statement stones bring a layered opulence, whether used on countertops, backsplashes, or bathroom tile.

Warm metallics


Say goodbye to the cool sheen of polished chrome and matte black. Brassy and antiqued finishes are stealing the spotlight in 2025. Their subtle warmth makes them a perfect choice for hardware, lighting fixtures, and even plumbing accents.

Emerging trends to watch

Statement ceilings


Gone are the days of plain white ceilings. Bold colors, wood detailing, intricate moldings, and even wallpaper are turning this overlooked fifth wall into an unexpected canvas.

Arches and curves


Soft, rounded shapes are making a big impact. Arched doorways, windows, shower niches, and mirrors bring an organic quality to interiors, softening the overall design and adding visual interest.

Textured walls


Walls are stepping into the spotlight with tactile finishes like limewash, Venetian plaster, and 3D paneling. These textures bring character to a space without overwhelming it, and create a rich, custom feel.

Integrated technology


Smart home technology continues to evolve, seamlessly blending convenience with innovation. Kitchens and bathrooms will get increasingly tech-savvy upgrades like touchless faucets, adaptable lighting systems, and charging stations integrated into cabinetry and furniture. Keep an eye out for energy-efficient features that align with the growing demand for sustainability.
