Alright, folks, it’s time to talk about what’s hot and what’s not in the world of home remodeling for 2025. If you’re planning a remodel this year, it’s important to stay on top of the latest trends—whether you’re looking to add value to your home or just give it a refresh.
Let’s dive into what’s in and what’s out this year, so you can make sure your home is not only functional but in style too.
What’s In for 2025?
1. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Materials
It’s no surprise that sustainable and eco-friendly materials are hotter than ever. Think bamboo floors, recycled glass countertops, and energy-efficient appliances that’ll save you money and the planet at the same time.
The good news? Going green doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. There are tons of sustainable options that look amazing—your remodel can be both beautiful and eco-conscious.

2. Bold and Dark Colors
If you’ve been eyeing bold, moody colors, you’re in luck. This year, it’s all about creating drama with deep hues like navy, charcoal, forest green, and even black. These colors add sophistication and warmth to any room and work especially well for accent walls, cabinetry, and even ceilings.
But don’t be afraid to play with contrast. Pair those dark shades with lighter elements (think white trim or gold hardware) for a modern, balanced look that screams elegance.

3. Smart Home Features Everywhere
Whether it’s a voice-controlled assistant, smart thermostats, or motion-sensing lights, homeowners are integrating more tech into their spaces than ever before. And it’s not just for convenience—it’s about making your home more efficient, safer, and more energy-friendly.
Think about adding smart lighting, automated window treatments, or even smart appliances that can alert you when it’s time for maintenance or repairs. The future is now, people!

4. Open Shelving in Kitchens & Bathrooms
Gone are the days of everything hidden behind closed cabinets. Open shelving is making a big comeback, giving your kitchen or bathroom a more relaxed, airy feel. You can display your favorite mugs, plates, or even beautifully curated towels, making the space feel personalized and open.
But, a little tip from us: open shelving can be a double-edged sword. It looks fantastic if it’s organized. Keep it neat, and it’ll shine; let it get cluttered, and it could work against you.

What’s Out for 2025?
1. Overly Matched Spaces
Gone are the days of everything matching perfectly. In 2025, it’s all about creating a space that feels dynamic and lived-in, with some contrasting textures and colors. Gone are the days of matching everything from your countertops to your backsplash to your flooring. Mix and match, baby! Think wood, tile, and stone all coming together to create a unique and layered vibe.
2. Gray Overload
Sure, gray was the color for a while, but it’s time to step aside for warmer, more inviting shades. Gray tones have been replaced with earthy neutrals, warm whites, and even rich jewel tones. Gray still has a place in accent walls and fixtures, but it’s no longer the "default" choice for every surface.
3. Too Much Open Concept
Okay, hear me out—open concept has been the trend for years. But, in 2025, people are starting to look for more defined spaces. Too much open space can make a home feel a little chaotic and hard to navigate. We’re seeing a shift towards creating more functional, private zones, especially in larger homes where separation can actually help the flow.
4. Overly Decorated Spaces
Minimalism is still in, and “cluttered” is out. This year is all about simplicity, natural materials, and allowing your space to breathe. Ditch the overcrowded bookshelves and excessive decor. Instead, opt for thoughtfully chosen pieces that add both function and style.
