10 Hottest Home Design Trends to Watch for 2025 – Did the Take Off? – Shared Article

Find out what styles are taking shape in home interiors and exteriors for the year ahead. With the year slowly coming in an end – did these trends take off?

Many different styles are influencing today’s home trends, from rounded walls and furnishings to traditional styles mixed in with bolder textures and colors. The home remodeling site Houzz recently released its 2025 home design predictions. Here’s what made their list as the top trends to watch for next year:

1. English-style kitchens

These cozy kitchens feature cabinets in rich woods as well as historical paint colors, such as moody blues and deep greens. “You’ll also find natural countertop materials, like soapstone and butcher’s block, as well as large range alcoves, wood ceiling beams and collected looks that appear pieced together over time,” the Houzz report notes.

2. Rounded furnishings

Gentle curves and rounded edges continue to be grounded in the popularity of organic modern styles. Expect to see more circular coffee and dining tables, finished off with cylindrical legs. Also, Houzz designers predict bulbous sofas and accent chairs and oblong mirrors.

3. Arches

Fitting right in with the curvier home trend are arched walls and home accessories. Arches, in particular, are adding “a touch of playfulness and [helping to] soften harsh angles to generate a welcoming, cozy feel,” the Houzz report notes. Arches can be added to home doorways, windows, niches, cabinets and millwork details. Also, arched accessories, like arched mirrors, headboards and chairs, are bringing in scalloped silhouettes that hug spaces.

4. Shower rooms

Showers have been featuring frameless glass enclosures, but homeowners looking for greater privacy are embracing a “shower room.” “This style of shower has a glass door leading into a fully enclosed space that creates an intimate, spa-like look and feel,” the Houzz report notes. “A shower room allows features that require a more sealed-in design, such as steam and sauna functions and aromatherapy and chromotherapy.”

5. Kitchen range alcoves

These range alcoves include a recessed or niche area—sometimes arched—and are often flanked by countertops and side walls. “This feature adds a substantial architectural element to a kitchen, creating a focal point and allowing for a natural stopping point for, and containment of, a striking backsplash design,” the Houzz report notes.

6. Woven and mesh cabinet fronts

“Woven and mesh details add texture and visual interest,” Houzz notes. “We’re seeing it frequently used to help break up expanses of cabinets, especially in kitchens.” It’s also being used in bathroom vanities, furniture and even window treatments. Designers say that natural woven materials can soften hard edges and provide a warm counterpoint to cold surfaces, creating more cozy and welcoming spaces.

7. Narrow wet rooms

Wetroom bathrooms—typically a shower and tub in a spacious shower area—have grown in popularity in recent years. But wet rooms are now being added in smaller, narrower spaces, too. “Placing a tub at the back of a long room, with a separate shower in front, gives homeowners with tight spaces a wet room arrangement that looks and feels more luxurious than the standard shower-tub combo,” the report notes.

8. Wood-infused architectural warmth

Adding “warmth” into an interior has become a popular buzzword in home design, marking a shift away from cool whites and grays. Color trends are moving more into off-whites, creams, beiges, tans and browns. “Paired with warm neutral palettes, earthy tones and organic colors, we’re seeing wood elements used as ceiling beams, trim, millwork, wall paneling, posts and cabinetry to add architectural warmth to spaces throughout the home,” according to Houzz’s report.

9. Layers of color, pattern and texture

Maximalist styles are layering in bold color, patterns and textures. The “design approach celebrates abundance and allows homeowners to furnish their homes with pieces that reflect their personalities,” Houzz notes. For example, grooved wall and ceiling paneling are being done in bold colors, and more patterns are entering everything from drapery and rugs to furniture and pillows.

10. Multiple outdoor cooking options

Homeowners want more than just a grill for backyard dining. They’re increasingly using other outdoor cooking methods, such as pizza ovens, smokers, ceramic kamado-style barbecues and Argentinian-style gaucho grills that use wood or charcoal.
