Home Remodeling Trends for 2025
Our homes are the ultimate refuge from the world, and this year’s trends see an emphasis on classic styles and warm tones to create a soothing space. From an updated take on familiar looks to pushing the boundaries ever so slightly to get that perfect fit, trending home remodeling themes invite you to create restorative spaces where you can fully recharge and unwind.
Classic is Back
The iconic look of classic home design – from rich colors and patterns to sophisticated wood statement pieces and details – is helping bring that timeless comfort back to many home remodels. Paired with updated finishes and cabinet styles, classic design is experiencing a renaissance of sorts that feels more modern, yet wonderfully familiar.
Arches
With classic design re-emerging, arches are popping up everywhere, from doorways and cabinetry to coffee bars and even tiled shower niches. Arches are a way to add an impactful design element without being overbearing, and it can also add a heightened and sophisticated feeling to your space.
Warm Tones
Along with warm whites, rich blues and dark greens, comes a revival in the celebration of woodgrains and hardwoods, along other earthy tones like beige and brown. These warm palettes set the stage for the enveloping comfort of home design that’s quickly becoming the standard in homes across Chicagoland.
Small Additions That Make a Big Impact
From expanded kitchens to primary suites, smaller scale additions can open up a world of possibilities with just a few square feet. Whether you want to add that freestanding tub, expand the kitchen to finally fit an island, or improve the traffic flow when you enter the home, a smaller addition can provide more opportunities for layout changes than you might imagine, and all with a more affordable price tag.
Mudrooms
Speaking of in-demand smaller additions, mudrooms – the new “it” room – are a big request for those looking to remodel. They’re the place where you can get organized before you leave the house and when you return, with some incorporating the washer and dryer to make life a little easier. A mudroom can also be achieved by working within your existing footprint, perhaps by removing or adding a wall. When designing your mudroom, remember that it’s an extension of your home, it deserves all the beautiful cabinetry and details too.
