Remodeling Trends in 2025
Timeless vs. Current Interior Design Styles
Q: What interior design trends are going out of style in 2025?
Can we all agree to bid farewell to the all-white-everything look that tried so hard to be “timeless” but ended up feeling more like a blank canvas someone forgot to paint? The overdone and heavy-handed modern farmhouse aesthetic? Also on the decline. If your home still screams, “Joanna Gaines was here in 2016,” it’s time to upgrade. It's okay to have stuff! Hyper-minimalism is giving way to more practical trends. You need a home that feels lived in, not like an art gallery that kicked out the art.

Q: What makes a design timeless versus trendy?
Timeless interior design styles mix classic elements that won’t age (like natural stone or neutral walls) with just enough of-the-moment flair to feel fresh. Think rich wood tones with current interior design styles like curved furniture or statement lighting. The goal? A look that whispers, “I’m effortlessly stylish,” not one that shouts, “I binge every HGTV show and copy-paste their designs.”
Q: How do I incorporate current interior design styles without overcommitting?
Two words for your big swings: low commitment. Play with things that are easy to swap out. A trendy rug? Yes. Neon backsplash tiles? No. Updating your throw pillows or investing in bold but classic wall art lets you flex those interior design muscles without needing a remodel every time a new trend rolls out.
Kitchen Remodel Trends for 2025
Q: What are the top kitchen remodel trends for 2025?
Your kitchen’s having its main-character moment in 2025. It’s the central hub of activity for so many busy families, so it should feature functional and jaw-dropping design in equal measure. Multifunctional islands are the hot spot now—extra storage, space to eat, prep, and host that friend who refuses to leave the kitchen during parties. Whisper-quiet appliances are also in because who wants their dishwasher scoring their midnight snack sessions?

Q: What are the most popular kitchen cabinet color trends for 2025?
Deep, dramatic blues, grounded greens, and warm neutrals like taupe or greige (you know, beige but cooler) are taking over. These shades add depth and personality without overwhelming the space. Pro tip: Pair them with hardware in mixed metallic finishes for a modern, layered vibe.
Q: What are the popular kitchen backsplash designs for 2025?
Subway tiles are still hanging in there, but now they’ve got texture—beveled, handmade, or in unexpected colors. For those feeling adventurous, geometric patterns or natural stone backsplashes are stealing the spotlight. If you want something timeless, opt for tiles in earthy tones. Feeling adventurous? Try a bold pop of color or a custom mosaic.
Q: What countertop materials are trending in 2025?
Quartz still reigns supreme. (DM us with your efficiency secrets if you have time for high-maintenance marble.) That said, natural stones like soapstone and marble are making a strong comeback for those craving an organic, high-end feel. And for the eco-conscious, recycled materials like glass and composite stone are gaining traction as sustainable and chic alternatives.

Bathroom Remodel Trends for 2025
Q: What are the trending bathroom designs for 2025?
In 2025, bathrooms are stepping out of the shadows and embracing their potential as luxurious retreats, and we are here for it. Spa-inspired features like oversized showers, freestanding tubs, and calming color palettes are taking center stage. Add dimmable lighting and natural materials like wood and stone, and suddenly, your bathroom isn’t just where you get ready; it's a space you crave when it's time to unwind.
Q: What are the trending bathroom colors for 2025?
Soft greens, muted terracottas, and warm neutrals like greige (not a regular beige, a cool beige) are on everyone’s wish list. What about bathroom cabinets in Pantone's Color of the Year for 2025, Mocha Mousse? These colors create a serene vibe while feeling grounded and natural. If you’re feeling bold, navy or charcoal accents can add drama without overwhelming the space.
Q: What are the most popular bathroom vanity styles?
Floating vanities are having a major moment, offering a sleek and modern vibe while freeing up visual space. Double vanities are still a favorite for those with larger bathrooms because no one wants to share their sink. Bold-colored vanities, like deep green or navy, are also on our radar for this year's bathroom designs.
Q: What shower trends are defining 2025?
Bigger is better when it comes to showers. Walk-in designs with zero-clearance entries (you're welcome, toes) and frameless glass enclosures are highly sought after. Multi-functional shower heads like rain showers with handheld options are also in demand. For a luxe touch, add built-in seating or a steam feature for your very own at-home spa.
Biophilic Interior Design: Bringing the Outdoors In
Q: What is biophilic interior design, and why is it important?
Biophilic interior design is all about connecting your home to the natural world, not just by putting a plant on your windowsill. Think natural light, organic materials like wood and stone, and earthy color palettes like soft browns and greens. Hanging out with real plants and natural light is proven to be good for your brain, mood, circadian rhythm, and so much more.
Q: How do I incorporate biophilic design into my home?
Start with the basics: maximize natural light with large windows or glass doors. If a renovation isn’t on the table, try strategically placed mirrors to bounce light around. Bring in materials like rattan, jute, or reclaimed wood for furniture and decor. And yes, plants—real ones—are non-negotiable. Go big and add a living wall or vertical garden if you're an avid plant person looking to make room for more new friends.
Q: Can biophilic design work in small spaces?
Absolutely! With a few thoughtful choices, even small spaces can feel connected to nature. A small herb garden in your kitchen, a textured area rug in natural fibers, or even nature-inspired art can make a difference.
Outdoor Living Trends for 2025
Q: What are the top trends in outdoor living spaces for 2025?
Where do you hang out when the sun's out? Wherever the lounging is best. Bring all the, ahem, folks to your yard with an outdoor kitchen with all the bells and whistles, a fire pit for cozy vibes, and covered patios that keep the outdoor hang going even when the weather’s not cooperating. Seamless indoor-outdoor transitions—like sliding glass walls—are also huge, giving your home the flow of a five-star resort.
Q: How can I make my outdoor living space more functional?
Functionality is all about creating an outdoor space that works for your lifestyle. Natural stone and composite decking are leading the pack. These materials are durable, low-maintenance, and stylish, the holy trinity of outdoor design. Weatherproof furniture means you don’t have to drag cushions inside whenever it rains. Smart lighting ensures you don’t trip over the dog during those late-night gatherings. Add multi-purpose features, like a built-in bench with storage, so your outdoor space doesn’t just look good; it works hard, too.
Popular Construction Materials for Remodels
Q: What are the most in-demand construction materials for 2025?
Sustainability is the word of the year for construction materials. Bamboo flooring is making a comeback, and composite decking is the go-to for durable, long-lasting outdoor spaces. Inside the home, recycled stone and concrete are gaining traction—not just for their green credentials but also for their sleek, industrial look. Quartz countertops offer low maintenance and longevity. For flooring, consider reclaimed wood or cork. Both are sustainable and durable. Use eco-friendly, low-VOC paint options to go easier on the planet and your lungs.
Q: Are there any materials I should avoid in 2025?
Anything that screams “high maintenance” can stay in the showroom. Marble countertops are gorgeous, sure, but are they worth the stress of constant sealing and babying? The same goes for materials that don’t age well, like cheap vinyl or certain trendy but flimsy composites. If it won’t hold up to daily life, it’s not worth the hassle.
Trends to Try (or Skip) for Your Fresno Remodel
Q: What trends are better left behind?
Step away from anything overly industrial. It can feel cold and impersonal. And while we’re at it, color blocking in extreme, clashing shades might look great in a magazine, but it can quickly feel chaotic IRL. Also, those glossy, mirrored surfaces? They’re high-maintenance and scream “early 2000s bachelor pad.” Choose textures and materials that feel warm and inviting instead.
Q: How do I know which trends are right for me?
The key is blending trends with what works for your lifestyle. Love the idea of bold bathroom tiles but hate grout maintenance? Go for a statement vanity instead. Trends should complement your home and habits, not saddle you with an extensive chore list.
Q: What’s the best advice for someone considering a remodel in 2025?
Ask yourself: what makes you happy in your space? Trends are great for inspiration, but your remodel should reflect your personality and lifestyle. Lean into ideas that excite you, and don’t be afraid to say no to trends that don’t fit your vibe. At the end of the day, your home should feel like home.
