- 2. Open Floor Plans Are Out- The open floor plan has been a big trend for a long time, with its spaciousness and flexibility, but they often lack privacy and can create poor acoustics, particularly in multi-generational homes or family spaces. Try using sliding doors, curtains or furniture floor plans to designate larger areas.
- 3. Accent Walls No Longer Trending- Accent walls adde3d texture and interest to rooms. Cohesive wall colors or wallpapering all four walls, create a more immersive and calming effect. This approach promotes a peaceful atmosphere without drawing attention to a single area, offering a more sophisticated design direction
- 4. Minimalism Is Giving Way to Maximalism– The less is more approach is out. white and beige minimalist schemes are being replaced by more vibrant and welcoming spaces. Bold prints, colorful artwork, and textured fabrics like knits and velvet are being embraced. Maximalism, with its cozy, lived-in feel, is making rooms more inviting and dynamic.
- 5. Sharp Corners Are Out; Curves Are In– Gone are the days of sharp corners and harsh lines in furniture and architecture. Designers are shifting towards softer, organic shapes that bring a sense of serenity to the home. These curves evoke warmth and calmness, creating spaces that feel inviting and peaceful.
- 6. Repetitive Patterns on Walls and Tiles Are Fading– textured walls are becoming popular as statement pieces. These dynamic, one-of-a-kind designs elevate the space with a more personalized and artistic feel. Instead of bold geometric prints, consider a mural or textured wallpaper to give your room a fresh, modern update.
- 7. The End of the All-White Kitchen– The all-white kitchen has been a staple in homes for decades, but 2025 marks the decline of this monochromatic look. Stained wood finishes, colorful cabinetry, and bold backsplashes are taking over. If you’re not ready for a complete overhaul, small changes like painting the island or adding natural wood accents can help breathe new life into an all-white kitchen.
