A new year always ushers in a new wave of trends — in fashion, in behavior, and, of course, in design. Over the years we’ve watched trends in home design evolve from all-white everything to bold pops of color, from ultra-modern to warm and cozy. As designers, it’s our job to stay on top of these trends, differentiating what’s “right” from what’s “right now,” then blending it all with the individual design preferences of each of our clients.
We’re thrilled to see that the direction home design is heading this year matches much of our own personal style. From leveled-up lighting to a touch of nature, these are four design trends we’re predicting to see this year.
Color is Back
If you know us at all, you know how exciting this is. We’re notorious for our use of color in design, whether that’s an all-pink salon, a moody bedroom with careful color choices that set a certain mood, or nature-focused browns and greens creating a seamless transition between indoor and out.
Color can bring warmth, intrigue, and plenty of personality into a home, and there are several ways to do it. If going all-in on painting your walls and ceiling a bold hue isn’t for you, consider adding pops of color through accent furniture, eye-catching decor, or even fabrics.

Lights, Camera, Action
Lighting can impact the ambiance of a space more than any other design choice you make. Something too bright can feel industrial or institutional quickly, but lights too dim are less than functional. We’ve always paid close attention to our lighting selections, but where the trend used to be recessed or hidden lighting, we now get to make it part of the fun.
We’re seeing lots of fixtures using textured materials, trimmed with things like tassels, grasscloth, and sea glass, or made with a mix of elegant metals and finished wood. We’re thrilled to see this trend emerge – because pretty lights are absolutely able to put the fun in functional.
Natural Materials
We’ve been highlighting this since our first visit to Jackson Hole–natural materials are a stunning incorporation into design. Wood is an obvious, with it making a well-deserved return in cabinetry, on ceilings, or even in lighting as we mentioned before.
In Jackson Hole, architecture and design plays seamlessly with their stunning surroundings. We love seeing wood take center stage, mixed perfectly with stone, natural metals, and other earthy enhancements.
Smart-Home Technology
Having a home filled with gadgets and automation isn’t a novel idea in 2025, but it’s a trend that certainly isn’t going away. From smart garage door openers to sophisticated security systems all the way down to shades that open and close with the push of a button, it’s equal parts functional and impressive when you have a home that just gets you.
But one trend we’re hoping to incorporate this year is using designers to achieve your smart home goals. In order to make all parts work together seamlessly, it takes careful attention to detail and plenty of advanced planning. We recently spearheaded a smart shade and curtain system in a primary bedroom, and it took five experts working together to get it right.
We’re always here to help clients incorporate trends into their homes, all while lending our industry expertise to be sure it’s done well. From automated everything to bringing earthy touches indoors, let’s chat about your big dreams this year.
