My Predictions for Decorating Trends 2025

My Predictions for Decorating Trends 2025

When selling a home, I always suggest going with neutrals; light and bright.

The home will appeal to more buyers and generally showcase your home

better. But if you aren’t selling, have fun with decorating by adding your own

touch and character to the home. Here are some decorating trends I see for 2025.

Colours

While there’s a time and place for muted pastels and neutrals, I love

seeing rich colors like earth tones, greens, chocolate browns, and rich

dark colours such as black. When using a dark colour such as black, it

is good to ground it with some brown accents. Other than your time,

there isn’t a huge financial output, so experiment…it might surprise

you. I recently did a black washroom with white and gold accents, and

I absolutely love it.

Any and all rooms can benefit from greenery- either real or artificial.

Be sure to put them in fun-coloured pots or bohemian woven baskets.

An easy way to play with pops of colour are to use them with accent

chairs, pillows with patterns/ designs, throws and ottomans. These are

easy items to change and use in different rooms of the home.

Pattern drenching is a new trend coming that I play around with throw

pillows when staging. I keep similar colours with different patterns.

Wallpaper can be another way to create this. Don’t forget Accent

chairs too! No need for matchy matchy…. A Mandy term…lol.

Design Trends

Coffee Bars are really becoming popular, and I even converted our

pantry to one…don’t worry we created a pantry in another location of

the home… I could never give up the storage space! This is an

excellent addition to someone that loves to host.

Finishing Touches

Finishing touches are finally getting the attention they deserve. A room 

can easily be transformed by having bold and modern finishing

touches such as hardware on doors and cabinets. To maximize the

impact, include the door hinges as well. If you don’t have the budget

for a kitchen make-over, try just updating the cabinet handles and

faucets.

New lighting can dramatically transform a space by adding a

decorative touch as well as provide more lighting. It is important when

working in an open concept floor plan, to include all lighting fixtures for 

a better flow.

Mirrors are also becoming more popular, especially the large black

frame mirrors to really enhance a space, whether its in a hallway,

bedroom or bathroom.

For the past few years, homeowners have been painting their interior

doors black to give it a nice bold contrast. This year I think we will see

different colours such has creams, greens and beige’s.

Lastly, I think we will continue to see fun wallpaper designs. One wall

is all that is needed to give character to a room or even half walls in a

high traffic area. If buying a pattern, be prepared to order additional

roles to allow you to line up the pattern correctly. Unfortunately, this

causes waste, but it could be used to line a drawer or I have even

covered the front drawers to a desk. You may just find a creative way

to use the scraps!
