We’re ready to hold you accountable and make sure you get the best remodel for the best price and the least hassle. Not sure what kind of changes you want to make? We’ve got some insight into what will be hot in interior design in 2025, and we bet it will give you a few ideas.

Welcome Back, Color

After years of safe color choices, gray, white, and beige may finally be gone in 2025. The day of the neutral is dead; long live personality! Purples, deep blues, greens, and even pastels are the hues of the new year. And you’ll see them all over rooms. Not just walls but ceilings and trim will be absolutely awash with eye-popping hues. Have you been thinking about freshening up your space but haven’t been sure where to start? Begin with a palette that involves some exciting colors that would have seemed intimidating in 2024.

 

Kitchen Changes: We’re Even Cooking with Color

Kitchen Changes: We’re Even Cooking with Color

This color will extend to the kitchen, and we couldn’t be more excited. We love helping people pick the perfect shade for any room, but taking color into the kitchen, primarily through new, painted cabinet doors is one of our favorites. You could see some bolder colors here, like a cobalt blue, but you’re more likely to see a subdued palette, like an earthy or forest green so that the kitchen will feel more like the refuge in the home.

When it comes to fixtures to go along with your new, colorful kitchen, we’re swinging back to brassy fixtures and away from the matte blacks that have been popular the last few years. Matte blacks just show wear too quickly, but unlacquered metal fixtures will develop a beautiful, natural patina from use, giving your fixtures a unique appearance.

Even backsplashes are getting in on the act. We expect to see fewer pure white, “subway tile” backsplashes and, instead, start seeing more 1920s Art Deco styles. Many kitchens will skip the tile backsplash entirely and opt for matching the countertop materials. But just as colors grow bolder, neutral quartz is on the way out in favor of marble slabs with an emphasis on pronounced veins and other contrasts.

Wood cabinets never go out of style, but now we’re looking for ways to add individuality and personality. Take your basic wood cabinet, then add some custom design or millwork. Reeded doors, shiplap, nickel gap panels, and micro-shaker designs are all details that will help you make your storage anything but the same old cabinets.
Everything in the house, but especially in the kitchen, is moving toward more color, contrast, and drama. Are you ready?

 

Walls & Ceilings: A Total Renovation Makeover

In addition to more brightly colored paint, get ready for wood paneling. Walls might have only sections of detailed millwork, but it’s just as likely they’ll cover whole walls and even ceilings. Detailed millwork is the trend for 2025, doing away with years of square baseboards and trim. Straight Line expects to put in quite a bit of wainscot paneling, custom casings, and layered moldings.

If you’ve never heard of wainscoting before, don’t worry! Wainscoting has been around for centuries but is a bit baroque for the kind of minimalism that’s been in fashion for a while. Wainscoting is typically wood paneling, trim, or molding attached to a wall’s lower half or section. It’s usually finished in a different material to the upper section for contrast. It’s an amazing way to add character to a boring space, or you can combine creative wainscoting with paint or decorative details for an even more interesting appearance. Beadboard, shiplap, raised panel, flat panel, or overlay wainscoting combine beautifully with paint, wallpaper, or even textured walls to create spaces that feel luxurious.

 

 

New Lighting Fixtures: Your Lightbulb Moment for Lighting

New Lighting Fixtures: Your Lightbulb Moment for Lighting

Over the last couple of decades, we’ve seen a big move toward open-plan homes. Innovative designers use light fixtures to give those spaces a sense of continuity while also defining discreet areas within the open space. Imagine matching ceiling light fixtures in the dining area that give way to different fixtures in the living area. Or picture a repeating pattern of light fixtures to be visually captivating while still keeping a cohesive feel for the overall home. You can also use groups of recessed lights to give certain portions of your home a warmer personality.

Layered on top of those existing lights, you’ll see function and aesthetics come together with LED strips built into cabinetry. They’re wonderful for keeping the light where you need it when working on the counters, but you can also leave them on for an ambient glow that keeps things looking modern without sacrificing usability.
