A new year has begun, and with it will come new home renovation trends. While we don’t change our homes nearly as often as our clothes, new trends present an opportunity to try new things that were unavailable previously. You ultimately don’t want a trendy home; you want a home you like. However, the arrival of new trends can expose you to new options you didn’t know you had.
So, what is 2025 going to offer us in the way of home renovation trends? How are people going to be allocating their remodeling time and money? We’re not psychic, but we have a few informed guesses that we’d love to share. Read on to learn more.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Options
As concern for the climate continues to grow, many homeowners are prioritizing eco-friendly materials in their renovations. We may see a surge in demand for sustainable materials like reclaimed wood, bamboo, low-VOC paints, and recycled glass countertops. These materials not only reduce waste but also promote healthier indoor air quality.
In that same vein, energy-efficient appliances and sustainable systems are must-haves for eco-conscious homeowners. In 2025, look for appliances with Energy Star ratings, smart sensors, and low water consumption. By investing in energy-efficient appliances and sustainable systems, homeowners can reduce their carbon footprint, lower their energy bills, and create a more sustainable living space.
Outdoor Kitchen and Entertaining Integration
Many people are living with smaller interior spaces, and as a result, they’re getting more creative with how they use that space. Especially in places like Los Angeles where the weather is almost always outdoor gathering-friendly, more and more people are bridging the indoor and the outdoor with their kitchen spaces.
That’s right, outdoor kitchens (or at least small cooking and dining areas) are likely having a resurgence this year. With increasingly durable materials for countertops and cabinets, it’s becoming more feasible than ever to have a great outdoor cooking and entertaining space. If you have an outdoor space collecting dust and weeds, why not make this the year to turn it into an awesome outdoor kitchen?
Functional Spaces and Multifunctional Design
Again, as homes get smaller, creativity is becoming a necessity. Many people are finding that their starter homes are looking pretty cozy, so they’re putting off upsizing for the time being. Homeowners and renovators are collaborating to design rooms that serve multiple purposes, such as kitchen-dining-living areas and home office-guest rooms. This isn’t a new concept per se, but the designs behind these spaces are more intentional, making the rooms themselves more functional.
This “trend” is all about maximizing space and creating functional areas that cater to our busy lifestyles. By incorporating multifunctional design elements, homeowners can create a more efficient and streamlined living space that meets their unique needs.
Wellness-Focused Design
Wellness-focused design is gaining popularity, as homeowners prioritize their physical and mental well-being. In 2025, expect a greater emphasis on natural light-filled rooms, air purification systems, soundproofing materials, indoor fitness areas, and calming color schemes.
Wellness-focused design is all about creating a healthy and calming living environment that promotes relaxation, rejuvenation, and overall well-being. It turns the home into a space that encourages better mental and physical health.
Personal Spas
On the topic of wellness-focused design, it’s becoming trendy to renovate boring old bathrooms into personal spas. No longer do you need to leave the comfort of your own home to have a spa day. While you may not get the full spa experience, you can get very close to it with a properly updated bathroom.
Personal spa upgrades include things like natural materials like stone and oak when it comes to counters, cabinets, and features. Steam showers and freestanding soaking tubs are also expected to increase in popularity this year, as well as adjustable restroom lighting and potentially heated floors.
Colorful and Bold Design Trends
After years of minimalism, bold colors and patterns are making a comeback for many homeowners. In 2025, expect to see vibrant hues like emerald green and navy blue, geometric patterns like chevron and herringbone, and statement wallpaper. This trend is all about adding personality and flair to a living space.
Expect this to extend throughout the home. This is a great time to invest in bold wood floors, bright tile backsplashes, or vibrant countertops. No, they won’t be trendy forever, but there will be plenty of new options available for anyone who’s always favored the bright and bold in their home.
Luxury Vinyl Flooring
Luxury vinyl flooring (LVF) is a popular choice for its durability, versatility, and affordability. Homeowners in 2025 are opting for LVF that mimics natural stone, hardwood, and ceramic tile. Because it’s so durable and cost-efficient, it’s a great option for homeowners who may be spreading their renovation budget around.
LVF is perfect for high-traffic areas, as it’s resistant to scratches, stains, and moisture. With its realistic designs and practical benefits, luxury vinyl flooring is definitely worth considering for your next renovation project.
Hardwood
On the other hand, hardwood has been having a resurgence over the past few years, and that won’t stop in 2025. More and more people are choosing to get rid of their carpets in exchange for classy and elegant hardwood.
Expect bright and bold wood rather than the dark and muted tones popular over the past few years. It’s a modern take on an old-fashioned flooring option.
