Home Design Trends for 2025

English-Style Kitchens

English-style kitchens are trending for their effortlessly cozy and intimate feel. The style showcases dark, wooden cabinetry and other natural elements, like butcher block and soapstone countertops, as well as wooden ceiling beams. Expect to find large-range alcoves and moody colors you’d find in paintings, like deep blues and greens. Pieces in the kitchen look collected and hand-picked over time; think family heirlooms and antiques strewn throughout.

Rounded Furniture Forms

Expect to see rounded furniture and soft edges continue to emerge in 2025. This trend features arched and oblong mirrors, rounded coffee tables, circular dining tables with cylindrical legs, and soft-edge couches and chairs. According to Houzz, this design trend comes from an increasing interest in an organic modern style, which integrates natural materials, colors, and shapes in a contemporary way.

A natural extension of the organic modern style, arches bring character and life to homes and can be found in cabinets, walkways and doorways, range alcoves, windows, and millwork details. The softness of the arches brings a calm and cozy feeling to any space. Houzz says mirrors will feature more elaborate arch profiles, along with furniture like headboards and chairs showcasing ogee, trefoil, and other scalloped designs.

Shower Rooms

Shower rooms create a private, spa-like feel in bathrooms by offering an enclosed shower space, bigger than most walk-in showers. Because it is completely sealed-in, this style of shower can accommodate steam and sauna functions, along with aromatherapy and chromotherapy. (Read: It’s the perfect design for an everything shower!) The room features a robust ventilation fan to keep moisture contained and controlled. These shower rooms may also offer built-in features for your products as well as a bench for sitting.

Narrow Wet Rooms

Like shower rooms, wet rooms offer a larger, sectioned-off space to shower. However, unlike the aforementioned trend, they usually include both a shower and bathtub and aren’t completely enclosed, allowing steam to travel outside of the room. Wet rooms are suitable for smaller bathrooms, and while they are narrow, the setup feels more lavish, and oftentimes, roomier than a typical setup.

Range Alcoves

You’ll see a lot more range alcoves in 2025, thanks to the growing popularity of English-style kitchen designs. A range alcove features a range set within a recessed nook often situated between countertops or walls. The feature allows for creative architectural design and naturally lends a space for a backsplash, creating a focal point for the kitchen.

Woven and Mesh Cabinet Fronts

Woven and mesh details have emerged in popularity as a way to integrate natural elements and texture and break up big blocks of cabinetry. They bring warmth and coziness to colder, brighter spaces. You can find this feature in kitchens, bathrooms, and other places within the home, such as on window treatments and accent furniture.

Wood-Infused Architectural Warmth

Homeowners are moving away from cooler color palettes, and back to warmer spaces infused with natural, earthy colors and textures. Wood brings that warmth that homeowners are craving. You can find it everywhere from ceiling beams, trim, and wall paneling to millwork and cabinetry.

Layers of Color, Pattern, and Texture

While earth tones and neutral spaces are having their moment in recent design trends, seemingly opposite bold, colorful, layered spaces are too. In 2025, maximalist design is here to stay. Bold colors, a variety of textures, and patterns (literally everywhere) are staples of this trend. Think patterned wallpaper, ornate paneling, bold ceiling and wall colors, woven and textured materials, and patterned accent pillows and rugs.

Multiple Outdoor Cooking Options

While grills remain a mainstay in outdoor cooking areas, homeowners are expanding to include other outdoor cooking methods. According to Houzz, these features include smokers, pizza ovens, ceramic kamado-style barbecues, and Argentinian-style gaucho grills. Expect to see larger prep stations and more prominent outdoor eating spaces.
