If you’re thinking about freshening up your home this year — whether you’re planning to sell or just want to love your space more — you’ll love what’s trending. The good news? You don’t need a massive renovation or a big budget to bring new energy into your home.
From natural textures to mood-boosting color schemes, these 2025 decorating trends are stylish, practical, and easy to incorporate no matter your square footage.
Let’s explore a few of the most popular ideas that are showing up in homes across Colorado and beyond.
1. Warm Neutrals Are Taking Over
Gone are the cold grays and stark whites of years past. Now, warm, earthy tones are making a comeback — think sandy beiges, soft terracottas, creamy off-whites, and rich taupes. These shades create a cozy, grounded feeling that works in almost every room.
According to Sherwin-Williams’ 2025 Color of the Year, homeowners are leaning toward colors that feel comforting and familiar, especially as we spend more time in our homes.
Try it: Swap out cool-toned accessories like rugs or pillows for warmer hues. You’d be surprised how much cozier your space feels instantly.
2. Natural Textures & Layers
Natural materials continue to dominate home decor — and for good reason. They bring a calm, organic vibe that feels both modern and timeless. In 2025, expect to see even more use of wood tones, rattan, cane, linen, and stone.
Layering is also big this year. Designers are mixing materials to create depth — like pairing a boucle sofa with a wood coffee table and a jute rug.
Better Homes & Gardens suggests focusing on layered textures to make even minimal spaces feel rich and inviting.
Try it: Add a chunky knit throw, swap a plastic planter for a clay or concrete one, or bring in a natural fiber rug to ground a room.
3. Statement Lighting (It’s Not Just Overhead Anymore)
Lighting is no longer just functional — it’s a design feature. In 2025, we’re seeing bold light fixtures take center stage. Oversized pendant lights, sculptural floor lamps, and mixed-metal sconces are all trending.
Even better? Layered lighting is a simple way to upgrade your space without picking up a paintbrush. That means using a mix of overhead, task, and ambient lighting to create a warm, versatile atmosphere.
Real Simple highlights statement lighting as one of the easiest updates for both homeowners and renters.
Try it: Add a dimmable floor lamp in a reading nook or update your kitchen pendants with something bold and sculptural.
4. Multi-Functional Spaces & Furniture
With more people working, working out, and relaxing at home than ever before, furniture that does double duty is having a moment. Think ottomans with storage, fold-down desks, or room dividers that also serve as bookshelves.
Even small homes can benefit from thoughtful zoning. For example, a corner of your living room can become a mini-office or craft space with the right setup.
Try it: Add a stylish storage bench near the entryway or convert a closet into a mini office nook with floating shelves and a compact chair.
5. Curves Are In
From furniture to architecture, curves and soft edges are everywhere this year. Arched doorways, round mirrors, and curved sofas add movement and a sense of comfort to your space.
Designers say curves make a room feel more relaxed — and they pair beautifully with this year’s warmer tones and natural textures.
Try it: Swap a square mirror for a round one, or add a curved side table or soft, pillowy headboard to your bedroom.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need a full renovation or a big budget to give your home a fresh look in 2025. Start small — swap a rug, change a light fixture, or try a warmer paint tone. These simple updates can make your space feel more inviting, modern, and uniquely you.
If you’re thinking about selling your home, updating your decor with a few of these trends can also help you stand out in today’s market — buyers notice the details.
