floorplans that support the way your family lives , ample natural light to boost mood and well�being , crea�ve use of space , and beau�ful finishes — these are the design principles we live by , and they will be as popular in 2035 as they are today .

The overarching “ trend ” of 2025 is design that increasingly seeks to avoid looks of the moment in favor of crea�ng spaces with �meless appeal . Here are 2025 ’ s year ’ s top home design trends and �ps .

Quiet luxury Quiet luxury is one of the most cited design trends of 2025 ,. The principles of quiet luxury : high�quality materials , �meless design , and sophis�cated style . A recent Vogue Living blog laid out the key design aesthe�cs of quiet luxury including a neutral pale�e , high� quality materials like marble , expert cra�smanship , fine finishes , and natural light .

Elevated ligh�ng Light fixtures and lamps will do more than provide light in 2024 . They ’ re set to become art pieces in their own right . Designers predict that ligh�ng will become more sophis�cated , with “ sculptural pendant lights , oversized chandeliers and ar�s�c floor lamps ” expected to appear in more and more luxury homes . To achieve this trend in your home , select light fixtures from designers , ar�sts , or others who are taking ligh�ng to the next level . Think about your personal tastes and extend that to your ligh�ng selec�ons . If you don ’ t want to hire an electrician to replace your ceiling light fixtures , consider finding a vintage or ar�s�c floor or table lamp to add a surprise decora�ve element to the room .

Using handmade pieces , par�cularly those with a story , means you won ’ t soon �re of your art and decor . New construc�on homes are also brought to life by decora�ng with handmade , vintage furniture , ceramics , rugs , and art collected from your travels .

Monochroma�c rooms Another trending and �meless aesthe�c is “ mono�rooms ”— tone�on� tone decor , or so�called “ all�in�one ” rooms . Allowing one color to play out in

variety of materials and textures creates an elevated style that ’ s calming but s�ll interes�ng . To create a mono�room , use the same color treatment on the walls , ceiling , furniture , light fixtures , window treatments , and decora�ve objects . The best way to embrace color drenching is by decora�ng with “ tonally coordina�ng colors .” Mix ma�e and gloss finishes on a variety of materials to maintain visual engagement .

Kitchens designed for living Speaking of kitchens , they ’ re no longer just for cooking . More and more homeowners are looking for kitchens that feel like living spaces . Luxury kitchens are increasingly spaces that invite friends and family to gather . To incorporate this trend in your own home , consider adding standalone furniture in or near the kitchen , from a vintage cabinet to display china to a se�ee or loveseat as part of the dining space .

Statement bathrooms Luxury design calls for statement bathrooms with “ as much personality as other rooms in the home in terms of color , pa�ern , texture , and style .” Some ways to create a statement bathroom that showcases your personal design aesthe�c is through unique or unexpected color , �le pa�erns , materials , finishes , ligh�ng , and art .

Func�onal secondary spaces One designer recently quoted in House Beau�ful predicts that more and more homeowners will embrace customized secondary spaces in their kitchens for more “ func�onality , convenience , and storage .” These spaces allow homeowners to prep , wash , and store out of sight so their kitchen remains ready for entertaining .
