Fresh, Bold, and Balanced: 2025 Home Design Trends You Need to Know

If there’s one thing hosting gatherings and attending others’ house parties will do, it’s make us take a closer look at our homes. Maybe that’s why so many of us are ready to redecorate, replace our furniture, or slap on a new coat of paint come the New Year. But with design trends ever-changing, it can be hard to decide on the best new style or color for your home. At Eastbrook Homes, we’re always looking ahead to anticipate the year’s newest trends, and we’re so excited to share our 2025 findings with you in this blog! 

Check out some 2025 style trend highlights from Eastbrook Homes Lead Designer, Ann Wierengo.

Simplistic Elegance Meets Bold Expression

Does your style lie somewhere between beige and baroque? No problem! This year, homeowners are encouraged to highlight their individuality with an exciting pop of pattern or a stunning statement piece, without the fear of going full 17th century. Daring details are finding their places amidst those modern, simplistic and neutral designs we’ve come to know and love in past years. And it’s turning out not only tasteful, but gorgeous. With this trend, it’s no longer a question of, “Is less more, or is more, more?” Rather, it’s about striking a beautiful balance between clean, refined spaces and vibrant, expressive elements. 

How to Achieve It:

Think uncluttered layouts, natural materials, and soft, neutral palettes—while bold colors, striking patterns, and textured details take center stage to bring personality and energy to any space.

• Start with a Neutral Base: Use soft tones like whites, beiges, or light grays on walls and larger furniture pieces to create a clean, calming foundation that works with any style.
• Incorporate Bold Accents: Add vibrancy with colorful throw pillows, statement rugs, or bold wallpaper in small spaces like a powder room or accent wall. Trending hues like chartreuse and warm terracotta are perfect for 2025.
• Mix Patterns and Textures: Layer in textured elements like fluted tiles, wood slat walls, or patterned upholstery to create visual interest while maintaining a cohesive, balanced look.
• Choose a Statement Piece: Whether it’s an oversized light fixture, a dramatic art piece, or richly colored furniture, let one standout feature bring a sense of individuality and energy to your room.

2025 Color Guide

The 2025 color palette brings a harmonious blend of grounding neutrals and vibrant, mood-boosting hues, allowing homeowners to effortlessly pair clean, simplistic designs with bold, expressive accents. This year’s colors are all about balance—natural, soothing tones meet rich, saturated shades for a look that feels fresh and modern, yet timeless.

Let’s take a closer look at some of Sherwin Williams’ colors of the year:

• Grounded Neutrals: Shades like “Grounded” (SW 6089), “Sunbleached” (SW 9585), and “White Snow” (SW 9541) offer the perfect backdrop for any space, providing a calming, clean canvas. These tones work beautifully on walls, cabinetry, and larger furniture pieces to create a light, airy atmosphere.
• Vibrant Accents: Add personality and energy with colors like “Chartreuse” (SW 0073), “Clove” (SW9605), and “Bosc Pear” (SW 6390). Use these shades on statement walls, furniture, or accessories to bring a lively pop of color to a neutral space.
• Warm and Moody Tones: Moody tones like “Rain Cloud” (SW9639) are muted and cool to exude comfort and sophistication. This color is perfect for creating cozy, dramatic living, dining, or bedroom spaces.

Pro Tips for Incorporating 2025 Colors:

• Use neutrals as your base, then layer in bolder shades through accents like artwork, pillows, or decorative pieces.
• For a modern look, consider two-tone walls or cabinetry, pairing a soft neutral with a bold color like Chartreuse or Clove.
• Don’t shy away from moody tones in smaller spaces—powder rooms or office nooks are great areas to experiment with deeper, dramatic hues.

2025 Interior Trends: Kitchens and Baths

This year, kitchens and bathrooms continue to be standout spaces in the home, blending functionality with elevated style. From refined finishes to thoughtful details, these essential rooms embrace both clean simplicity and statement-making elements that set the tone for the entire home.

2025 Kitchens: Modern Meets Timeless

• Mid-Century Modern Influence: Clean lines, natural wood tones, and subtle retro touches bring a timeless yet fresh aesthetic to the kitchen. Think sleek cabinetry, warm wood finishes, and vintage-inspired accents that offer both charm and functionality.
• Built-in Range Hoods: Custom range hoods are taking center stage, seamlessly blending into kitchen designs while offering a sculptural focal point. These built-ins pair beautifully with fluted or patterned tile backsplashes to add texture and depth.
• Bold Tile Choices: Striking patterns and bold colors are making their way into kitchen spaces, bringing personality to backsplashes, islands, or flooring without compromising on clean, modern design.

2025 Baths: Spa-Like Sophistication

• Gold and Black Finishes: Brushed gold and matte black fixtures are the stars of 2025, adding a touch of luxury and contrast to clean, neutral bathroom spaces. These finishes work beautifully in faucets, showerheads, and hardware, elevating the overall aesthetic.
• Statement Mirrors: Unique, oval-framed mirrors bring both functionality and style, reflecting light and adding visual interest. Pair them with layered lighting for a polished, spa-like feel.
• Free-Standing Tubs: Luxurious and sculptural, free-standing tubs create a calming retreat. Whether placed against a full-height tile wall or a large window, they bring a sense of relaxation and elegance.

From balancing refined simplicity with vibrant expression to incorporating bold colors and timeless textures, the 2025 trends are all about creating spaces that reflect your unique style while remaining functional and beautiful.
