Design trends, like fashion or art, aren’t just about what’s new—they’re a mirror of what we’re craving: more calm, more beauty, more meaning. In 2025, the homes we admire most are less about perfection, more about presence. We want spaces that reflect how we live—and who we’re becoming.
Curved & Sculptural Forms
2025 favors curves over corners. Rounded sofas, waterfall islands, and sculptural lighting offer visual softness and a human-centric sensibility.
Rachel’s Insight: In a Nantucket home, we softened a formal space by layering arched alcoves with curved vintage club chairs. The room now feels more conversational—and less staged.
Color Drenching: Bold, Saturated Expression
Gone are the days of all-white interiors. In 2025, color drenching—where a single hue envelops walls, ceilings, and even upholstery—takes center stage. Deep oxbloods, chalky blues, and terracotta pinks lend richness and personality.
“Color is back—with depth, not drama.”
Rachel’s Insight: We recently transformed a client’s reading room by wrapping it in one deep plum tone. The result? Cocooning, serene, and completely unforgettable.
Textured Walls and Ceilings: Dimension is the New Minimalism
Smooth drywall is losing its grip. Limewash, hand-troweled plaster, and wallpapered ceilings are infusing homes with quiet drama.
Rachel’s Insight: Texture adds a kind of softness that paint alone can’t deliver. We often use plaster finishes to blur light and shadow, bringing calm into high-traffic spaces.
Wellness Rooms: Where Design Meets Restoration
From saunas and meditation nooks to biophilic lighting and aromatherapy zones, wellness-centric spaces are here to stay.
“The smartest design trend? Spaces that feel like exhale.”
Rachel’s Insight: I’ve found that even small additions—like a reading bench near a window or a calming scent plan—can create a daily rhythm of restoration.
Maximalism, But Make It Personal
Layered textiles. Eclectic art. Statement lighting. Maximalism is evolving beyond clutter into a curated celebration of self.
Rachel’s Insight: The key isn’t quantity—it’s story. We help clients layer meaningful objects without overwhelming the space. A well-traveled home is always in style.
Natural & Artisanal Materials: Soul Over Shine
Expect more stone, rattan, clay, and handwoven textiles—materials that carry the hand of the maker. These pieces ground even the most modern homes.
Rachel’s Insight: I’m constantly sourcing pieces that feel imperfect in the best way. Our shop carries handcrafted goods that speak to this trend.
Tech That Disappears
Smart design is becoming seamless—invisible speakers, climate-adaptive shades, and lighting that learns your habits.
Rachel’s Insight: I love embedding tech that elevates daily life without stealing attention. We install it so your home feels considered, not coded.
