3 Leading Design Trends to Enhance Your 2025 Home Renovation Projects

3 Leading Design Trends to Enhance Your 2025 Home Renovation Projects

Design trends aren’t always top of the list in home renovation, but these 3 are worth it! So, it’s time to move forward with that home renovation you’ve been putting off and/or saving up for. You’re not looking to follow home decor trends, but you do want to ensure your home is functioning in a “modern day” way. Home renovation trends used to be about knocking down all the walls – yes, it is still the most sought after layout – however, there are a number of “trends” that will enhance the functionality, quality and equity of your home. A few include:

Biophilic Design in Home Renovation

Biophilic design is all about bringing the outdoors inside, and it’s poised to gain even more popularity in 2025 as homeowners seek peaceful, nature-inspired spaces. Imagine rooms filled with natural light, indoor greenery, and earthy textures that promote a tranquil ambiance.

Here are 3 ways you can embrace this style and incorporate it into your home renovation/design.

  • Maximize Natural Light: Install large windows or skylights to let in ample sunlight. This not only brightens your space but also creates a direct connection to the outdoors, enhancing the feeling of being immersed in nature.
  • Bring in Natural Materials: Use materials like wood, stone, and natural fibers throughout your home. Whether it’s hardwood flooring, stone countertops, or woven rugs, these elements create a warm, earthy atmosphere that fosters a sense of calm.
  • Add Greenery: Indoor plants are a key component of biophilic design. Place potted plants, hanging greenery, or even vertical gardens in your living spaces. They add beauty, purify the air, and help you feel closer to nature.

Wellness-Centered Homes

In 2025, homeowners are placing more importance on wellness and self-care, incorporating these ideals into their living spaces. This trend focuses on creating environments that promote physical and mental well-being. Bathrooms are evolving into spa-like sanctuaries, with steam showers, infrared saunas, and deep soaking tubs becoming standard. Home gyms and meditation rooms are being added to create a holistic living experience.

Technology is also playing a role, with smart home systems that monitor air quality, light exposure, and sleep cycles for optimal health. Key features include

  • Circadian lighting – a type of lighting that mimics the natural cycle of daylight to help regulate the body’s circadian rhythm (see the Restore 2 from Hatch)
  • Air purification systems (like this one from Molekule)
  • The integration of natural materials to reduce stress

Quick Tips to achieve a wellness centered home NOW:

Declutter for a Clear Mind: Keep spaces organized and clutter-free. A tidy home reduces stress and improves mental clarity.

Create Spaces for Relaxation: Designate a cozy corner with soft textures, calming colors, and comfortable seating to unwind and practice mindfulness.

Maximize Natural Light: Open up blinds and use sheer curtains to allow sunlight in. Natural light boosts mood and energy, fostering a healthier living environment.

Earthy Tones and Natural Finishes

Interior design in 2025 is embracing earthy, organic tones that create a sense of calm and connection to nature. Warm neutrals like clay, terracotta, sage, and soft browns are being used to create inviting, serene spaces. These tones are often complemented by natural finishes such as matte wood, stone, and plaster, which add texture and warmth. Avoid carpet, reduce noise with rugs.

The trend moves away from the stark, minimalist look of the past decade, opting instead for cozy, lived-in environments that feel personalized and authentic. Texture is key in these renovations, with woven textiles, raw wood, and ceramic tiles bringing depth to the design.

Here’s to a happy, healthy home!
