Home Trends We’re Leaving Behind in 2024 (And What’s In for 2025)
4 Home Trends We’re Leaving Behind in 2024 (And What’s In for 2025)
As the new year kicks off, it’s time to reflect on what’s out and what’s in when it comes to home design and lifestyle trends. Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or just refresh your space, staying ahead of the curve can make all the difference. Here are three trends we’re saying goodbye to in 2024 and the exciting new ones taking their place in 2025.
In: Bold Colors and Personal Expression
For years, the all-white aesthetic dominated interiors, from kitchens to living rooms. While it created a clean and minimalist look, many homeowners found it lacked warmth and personality.
What’s In for 2025: Rich, bold colors that reflect individuality. Think jewel tones, earthy hues, and even vibrant accent walls. These colors add depth and character, creating spaces that feel uniquely yours.
Pro Tip: If you’re hesitant about going bold, start small with colorful throw pillows, rugs, or artwork.
In: Classic English-Style Kitchens
The ultra-modern, minimalist kitchen design with glossy finishes is being replaced by the timeless charm of English-style kitchens. These spaces emphasize warmth, character, and a lived-in feel.
What’s In for 2025: Kitchens with shaker cabinets, vintage-inspired fixtures, farmhouse sinks, and warm wood tones. These elements create a cozy yet elegant atmosphere that feels inviting and functional.
Pro Tip: Mix vintage-inspired elements with modern conveniences for a kitchen that balances style and practicality.
In: Flexible Spaces for Modern Living
Standard layouts designed for traditional living no longer meet the needs of today’s homeowners. The pandemic taught us the value of multi-purpose spaces, and that trend isn’t going anywhere.
What’s In for 2025: Customizable spaces that adapt to your lifestyle. Think home offices that double as guest rooms, dining areas that can transform into workstations, and outdoor areas designed for year-round use.
Pro Tip: When designing or staging, showcase how a space can serve multiple functions to appeal to today’s buyers.
In: Practical and Hidden Storage Solutions
Open shelving was once celebrated for its Instagram-worthy appeal, but the reality for many homeowners was constant dusting and an over-cluttered look.
What’s In for 2025: Functional storage that hides the mess while maintaining style. From custom cabinetry to built-in storage solutions, homeowners are prioritizing organization and a streamlined aesthetic.
Pro Tip: Opt for closed storage options that still offer visual interest, like fluted cabinet doors or mixed-material finishes.
2025 is the year of personalization, practicality, and creating spaces that truly work for how we live.
