colors, styles and materials to transform your home

If you want to renovate your home, give it a fresh look, or give it a more contemporary touch, this is the article for you. 2025 is packed with new trends emphasizing calm, functionality, and a whole lot of personality. Here are the highlights in colors, styles, and materials so you can stay up to date and apply these trends to your home... or to the house you're about to buy or sell.

Colors that mark the year

The leading colors for 2025 move away from artificial tones and focus more on warm colors.

Mustard yellow returns this year, but in a more mature form, providing energy without overpowering. It pairs well with other earthy tones like terracotta . These shades work great in details like pillows, ceramics, rugs, or even on an accent wall.

Sage and olive green continue to reign supreme in kitchens, living rooms, and even bedrooms. Not only are they relaxing, but they're also versatile and pair easily with light woods, off-whites, or beiges.

For those looking for a touch of elegance without resorting to pure black, deep blue is the star option. Used in textiles or furniture, it gives a sophisticated look without being cold.

And of course, you can't miss the neutral base: beige, sand, stone gray ... These tones remain essential to provide spaciousness and light, and allow the main colors to stand out without competing.

Styles that triumph

This year's star style could be defined as modern organic . Spaces with soft lines, materials you can touch and feel, soothing colors, and lighting that complements the interior. This style blends minimalism with natural elements. Rounded sofas, untreated wood tables, earth-toned walls, and handcrafted details like baskets and ceramic vases.

Japandi , that blend of Scandinavian and Japanese, evolves this 2025 into something more textured. It remains functional and minimalist, but becomes warmer. It introduces more color, more natural fabrics, more life. Everything is organized, but it doesn't seem forced. This style focuses on the motto that beauty lies in simplicity.

And for the nostalgic, there's good news: the seventies style is back , but with a fresh twist. Velvet upholstery, geometric prints, gold or copper touches, and curvy furniture. It's a glamorous retro look that doesn't overwhelm, but instead adds a special touch to every corner.

Materials that are carried

Texture is the star of 2025, the most notable being:

Natural wood , without glossy varnishes or artificial colors, is king. The more visible its grain, the better.

Natural wood, with its raw, unadulterated finish, stands out as a key element. The more visible its authentic grain and textures are, the more character it adds to the space.

We're looking for that "handmade" feel, that authenticity. Rustic tables, simple shelving, floors that age gracefully.

Microcement , especially in neutral tones like sand or light gray, continues to be a trend. We see it on walls, floors, and countertops. It gives that artisanal effect that seems simple, yet is very sophisticated.

Natural fabrics like linen, raw cotton, wool, or rattan provide instant warmth. They're also sustainable, breathable, and very comfortable. A linen curtain completely changes the light in a space.

Tinted glass , in shades of amber, bottle green, or smoke blue, is beginning to be used for lamps, vases, and even room dividers. It provides color and light simultaneously, without overwhelming the space.

Small details with impact

This year, the details make the difference.

Sculptural lamps with organic, asymmetrical shapes or unexpected materials become centerpieces. They are no longer just a source of light, but a style statement.

Curved mirrors , matte black frames, large-format art, or restored vintage furniture add character without cluttering your home.

The key is fewer, but more special things . Each object should have its own meaning, story, or beauty.

Thinking about selling? A small change makes all the difference.

Applying some of these trends subtly and strategically can help your home stand out from the crowd. A living room with warm colors and natural light, a renovated kitchen with modern touches, or a cozy bedroom can completely change the impression of anyone who enters the home for the first time.
