A Look at 2025’s Biggest Home Design Trends

Home design trends are often a good barometer for decisions that lead to a well-designed home. With the new year comes a glimpse into a future where the old is seamlessly woven with the new. Local interior remodeling company DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of St. Louis Park takes a look at some of these home design trends for the year.

Bold Patterns and Maximalism

We’re expecting a return to bold patterns and maximalism, after years of minimalism being the popular philosophy. We’re seeing more homeowners choosing dynamic wallpapers, dramatic prints and layered textures. It’s about storytelling through design, allowing homeowners to curate spaces that truly reflect their identities, filled with color and life.

Warm and Earthy Tones

Another notable trend aligns with the shift toward sustainability and natural beauty — warm and earthy tones. Hues such as terracotta, ochre and deep greens draw inspiration from nature, creating a sense of calm and grounding in indoor spaces.

Retro Influences From the 1970s and 1980s

Nostalgia has seen a significant driver in popular media, from films to fashion. It only makes sense to see it in interior designs. For homeowners who lived in the 1970s and 1980s, a home remodel that incorporates design elements from these eras is not just banking on feelings of nostalgia; it’s taking what’s good from them and giving them a modern sensibility. Retro-inspired materials like rattan, velvet, and brass are making a strong comeback, lending a vibrant character and timeless appeal to modern homes.

Bespoke and Handcrafted Decor

Moving away from mass-produced items, there is a growing appreciation for bespoke decor and handcrafted furniture. Unique and personalized environments encourage the integration of vintage pieces, antiques and custom-made furniture. In particular, the desire for handcrafted items highlights a broader return to craftsmanship and the beauty of the handmade.
