You may be feeling that you are due for some home renovations. Perhaps you are up for a new flooring installation or are looking to refresh your space with a new coat of paint. Perhaps you have a bathroom that you are looking to transform into a refreshing and relaxing space, but you are feeling uninspired. Well, follow along in the rest of this article to get some ideas from what other people are doing to transform their homes by checking out what home aesthetics have taken 2025 by storm!
Japandi styled homes
We all know and have come to love Scandinavian-style décor. It is defined by functionality, clean lines, and natural elements – such as wood flooring, or sheepskin rugs – and neutral colours under lots of natural light. It provides a great balance of modernity with warmth, which makes sense as to why it has been so popular for many decades now.
Now imagine if we could elevate this beloved style ever so slightly. That’s where Japandi interior designs come into the mix! This is a combination of Japanese and Scandi styles, which overlap in many ways because of their focus on simplicity and inclusion of natural elements.
The goal of Japandi designs is tranquillity – “less is more” is the ideal, and soft, neutral tones are king. Think unfinished wood furniture, natural stone tiling, or a generosity of house plants to heighten the natural and earthy feel of your home. The ultimate goal of the Japandi aesthetic is to transform your home into a sanctuary, where you can feel a sense of ease and serenity from the moment you walk in through the door.
Textured Walls and Ceilings
A major trend for 2025 is a step away from plain, crisp, or “characterless” spaces in homes as people are looking to add more charm and personality to their homes. One of the simplest ways to do this is to incorporate more texture to ceilings and walls. This can be anything from wall trim to 3D wallpaper, or more intricately designed crown moulding. Empty rooms no longer have to be a blank canvas, which all of your furniture will make beautiful. The empty room itself can be a work of art in its own right.
Home wellness spaces
If your home is meant to be a sanctuary, there should be designated spaces in it where you can go to relax and unwind. With the rise in popularity of health and wellness awareness, people are incorporating more of this into their homes. Spaces like prayer and meditation rooms, mini Pilates studios, or at-home steam rooms are rising in popularity.
If you were not sure about what to do with a spare room or some extra basement space, consider one of these options! Crisp wall paint, natural light, and open plan flooring create a dynamic and tranquil space that you could use for any of your wellness needs. Even upgrading bathrooms to make them more spa-like by incorporating wet-rooms, steam showers, and other fascinating integrated shower technologies has risen increasingly in popularity over the past few years. Considering the rise in work-from-home options, it is also important to ensure that you can create a good balance of work and leisure in your home!
Indoor-outdoor flow
The rise of indoor-outdoor flow designs in homes is no surprise, given the serenity and beauty of seamlessly integrating the home with the outdoors. Not only is this visually appealing, but it also optimises the functionality of your space by allowing you to enlarge the usable space in your home. A front porch with a couple of chairs is great, but a patio with a full dining table and outdoor seating? It’s a no-brainer!
Creating this seamlessness may require large structural changes to your home; however, if you don’t already have the infrastructure, this typically involves installing large floor-to-ceiling windows, breaking walls down to allow for the installation of large sliding doors that connect your living area to your outdoor space, and finally includes upgrading your outdoor space to make it more stylish and functional.
Some popular outdoor features include bonfire pits, outdoor kitchen installations or grills, or wood-fire pizza ovens. Whatever your desire may be, the goal is to create an integrated space and allow the beauty of our outdoor space to also form a beautiful backdrop when you’re indoors. This will probably be a large investment, but the return for this will be well worth it!
Colour-drenched rooms
Have you ever noticed your mood changing ever so slightly when you walk into a particular room? The people have had enough of so-called “millennial grey” and have a deeper desire for colour and charm in their homes. Colour drenching is a great and simple way to do that by painting an entire room in one colour, or monochromatically – not only walls, but also trims and ceiling – to create a certain mood in the room, and colour psychology certainly confirms the link between colour and mood. This can make the space look and feel more harmonious, and if your home contains interesting architectural elements or designs, colour drenching can help draw these special designs out.
