Trend Alert: Designs to Inspire Your Next Project for 2025

If you're ready to refresh your space and looking for some design inspo, you're in the right place! The new year is just around the corner, and with it comes a wave of new design trends you won’t want to miss. From bold statement pieces to natural textures, 2025 is all about blending creativity with comfort.

We’ve rounded up the top design trends to watch for in the coming year, so you can stay ahead of the curve and bring a fresh, stylish feel to your home. Ready? Let’s jump into what’s hot right now!

1. Curved Lines & Soft Shapes

You’ve probably noticed the shift away from harsh, straight lines, and guess what? That’s not going anywhere in 2025! We’re seeing a big focus on curves—think rounded furniture, arched doorways, and organic shapes in decor. Why are curves so popular? They create a soft, welcoming vibe that makes your space feel inviting.

How to Incorporate It: Consider adding a curved couch or an arched mirror to soften your living room or entryway. You can even go big with an arched doorway or curved kitchen island if you’re planning a remodel. These shapes are not just trendy—they're timeless.

2. Earthy, Natural Tones

Neutral, earthy colors are still dominating the design world as people crave a connection to nature. Expect to see warm browns, soft greens, and creamy beiges making their way into every corner of the home in 2025. For more bold colors, you can expect hues of navy blue and 'merlot' red. These tones create a calm, grounded feel, which is perfect for anyone looking to create a peaceful retreat at home.

How to Incorporate It: Opt for natural materials like wood, stone, or clay to add texture to your space. A wooden coffee table, clay vases, or stone countertops can give your home that organic, earthy look while keeping things modern and cozy.

3. Mixed Metals

Mixing metals is having a major moment right now, and it's here to stay. Gone are the days when you had to stick to just one metallic finish. In 2025, it’s all about blending different tones like brass, copper, and matte black to create a layered, luxurious yet collected look.

How to Incorporate It: Mix and match metals in your kitchen or bathroom by pairing brass faucets with matte black cabinet hardware. In the living room, try copper light fixtures with gold accents for a subtle but stylish contrast.

4. Bold Backsplashes

If you're craving something a little more playful, bold backsplashes are trending in laundry rooms and bathrooms alike. From large scale sizes to colorful tiles, people are using backsplashes as a statement piece. It’s a small area that can have a huge impact, allowing you to have fun without overwhelming the space.

How to Incorporate It: If you’re remodeling your laundry room, go for bold, patterned tiles in between the cabinetry. If you’re keeping things simple, even just a bright or textured tile in a neutral room can make a huge difference.

5. Layered Lighting

Lighting has always been important, but now more than ever, it’s about layering different types of light to create ambiance. Combining task lighting (like picture lights or wall sconces) with statement pieces (like a bold chandelier) brings balance to a room, adding both functionality and style.

How to Incorporate It: Add a mix of lighting types to your space. Use task lighting for practical purposes, like around the kitchen walkways, and layer in more decorative pieces like sconces or pendant lights. The combination will brighten up your space—literally and figuratively.

6. Sustainable Design

Sustainability continues to be a major focus in design, and 2025 will bring even more attention to eco-friendly choices. Think reclaimed wood, vintage furniture, and sustainably sourced materials. People are moving away from mass-produced items and opting for pieces that are kinder to the environment and have a story behind them.

How to Incorporate It: Look for furniture made from reclaimed or FSC-certified wood. Thrift stores are also goldmines for unique vintage finds. Not only are you giving old pieces new life, but you’re also adding character to your space.

7. Multifunctional Spaces

As people continue to work from home, multifunctional spaces are evolving. In 2025, it’s all about designing rooms that can do double duty—think a home office that transforms into a guest room or a kitchen with a built-in desk. Flexibility and functionality are key, especially for growing families or those who love to entertain.

How to Incorporate It: Consider built-in shelving with a desk in your kitchen or a fold-out bed in your home office to create spaces that can serve more than one purpose. It’s practical, stylish, and perfect for maximizing space.
