Design Trends for Home Renovations in 2025
Choosing the right designs for your home renovations is an imperative part of the process. Creating a space that you are truly in love with will enhance your at-home living experience which in the end makes the costly investment and renovation phase well worth it!
While brainstorming your design concept, keep in mind common looks in the past decade that are now outdated. Falling for usual designs, like an all white kitchen and marble overload can lead to future dissatisfaction.
Take your time, do your research and really figure out which look and feel you want your home to portray.
Our Ontario real estate agent explores are 3 design trends and ideas for you to consider that we will continue to see in 2025.
Ambient Lighting
Creating a cozy, inviting living space starts with the proper ambient lighting. Lighting does more than brighten a space, it sets the mood, transforms your home and creates a warm retreat where you can truly unwind.
Ambient lighting can be incorporated in various ways. Upgrading your light switches to dimmable lighting can help control the lighting in the room. Using floor and table lamps in your living spaces and bedrooms can create a cozy feel.
A light trend that has been popular recently is ‘focal point lighting’. This is when a significant feature of the home is highlighted with light. For example, soft LED lights tucked into your bookshelf or a ‘picture light’ mounted above a artwork.
Mix Materials
The key to creating a home that reflects your personality and feels liveable is to avoid anything too ‘matchy-matchy’ and explore the beautiful and unique effect of mixing materials, colours and textures. Not everything needs to be the same, mixing and matching materials can enhance the overall space to a more elevated look. For example, the kitchen below doesn’t have the same cabinets throughout. Instead, the homeowners used black flat-panel cabinetry and warm wood grain cabinets to contrast. These materials together make the features of the kitchen pop when using darker colours.
Wet Spa Bathroom
Renovating your bathroom? Why not design your bathroom to feel like an oasis by incorporating spa-like features!
Wet room bathrooms is a space fully built with materials designed to get wet, usually including a shower space and freestanding tub in their own glass enclosure. Wet rooms tend to be more ‘open-plan’ than traditional bathrooms and this format lends itself to some very elegant styles.
Not only is there lots of potential for a sleek and modern bathing area, but wet rooms tend to be easier to navigate. Therefore, the wet room system is also a popular choice for people with mobility issues.
