It’s that time of year when we create resolutions, and what better resolution than giving your home a makeover with the hottest trends of 2025?
From adding simple touches to make your home style feel more cohesive, to upping your tech game to make your home smarter, now is the time to find what style works for you.
Bringing the outdoors, indoors
This trend has been gaining popularity in recent months, and we see this reaching boiling point in the new year. Organic, earthy, and natural will be some of the key words you hear thrown around in the home renovation space next year, with the concept being to bring the outside world in.
This could be broadening your windows to allow more natural light and outdoor views as part of your home features, to darker, more natural wood tones to contrast with raw elements of your home, like exposed brick. Tie these together with feature walls of neutral tones and a limewash for that textured effect, and you’ll have a home that feels like it was designed by a professional.
Smart home, smart life
In 2025, we can’t ignore the innovation that integrating smart technology into your home brings; it’s convenient and often sustainable. There are plenty of smart home technologies you can help to renovate your home with, so if you’re just starting out, perhaps begin with a smart lighting fixture you can control from your phone or a voice-controlled virtual assistant.
Smart technologies for your home can also help with bringing extra safety and security, so consider adding features like a smart doorbell to help monitor your home even when you’re not there.
Using the great outdoors
Over the past few years, there has been a renewed focus on the benefits the outdoors has on our wellbeing. As such, now is the time to start investing in your outdoor spaces for year-round use. Whilst we often think of gardens and patios as spaces to entertain during the spring and summer months, cultivating a space with canopies and heating can enable you to enjoy the fresh air throughout autumn and winter too.
If you have the space for it, consider investing in a beautiful pergola for the unpredictable seasons we have in the UK. A place to both enjoy the outdoors whilst it's raining and to protect yourself from the sun’s rays, it’s a great way of utilising your outside space, pergolas also enable you to create personalised styles with your choice of greenery and furniture.
Open plan living spaces
While this may not be a new trend for 2025, it is certainly one that holds a lot of sway in the interior design world. Open plan living spaces in the new year will join the overarching home renovation trends of bold colour palettes and richer texture. Plus, by blending in elements of other trends such as earthy, organic shades, blue and green hues, you’ll be able to maximise the space and invite more of nature into your home.
