Reimagine your home with purpose, luxury, and smarter design.

As we look ahead to 2025, the world of interior remodeling continues to evolve—with homeowners craving more functionality, comfort, and personalized style. At First State Building & Design, we’re seeing a major shift in how people want their spaces to look and feel. It’s no longer just about aesthetics; it’s about livable luxury, energy efficiency, and maximizing every square foot.

Whether you’re updating a single room or considering a whole-home remodel, these top interior design trends will inspire bold ideas and lasting value.

1. Open-Concept Hybrids

The open floor plan isn’t going away—but it’s getting smarter.

Trend Insight: Instead of one vast space, homeowners are embracing semi-open layouts with architectural elements that divide without disconnecting. Think sliding glass partitions, slatted wood dividers, and pocket doors that maintain light flow while adding flexibility, sound control, and privacy.

Why it works: Ideal for families and professionals working from home, this design trend gives you the best of both worlds—openness and structure.

2. Moody, High-Drama Kitchens

Say goodbye to all-white everything.

Trend Insight: 2025 kitchens are becoming bold, expressive, and furniture-like. Dark cabinetry in rich hues, heavily veined natural stone countertops, and matte black fixtures add drama. Wood hoods and brass accents lend warmth and sophistication.

Why it works: A moody kitchen makes a statement while still being practical—and helps distinguish your space from cookie-cutter trends.

3. Spa-Inspired Primary Bathrooms

Your daily routine deserves a luxurious upgrade.

Trend Insight: Homeowners are turning their primary baths into wellness retreats. Wet rooms, smart toilets, freestanding soaking tubs, steam showers, and radiant heated floors offer a spa-like escape. Add in ambient lighting and soft music with integrated tech, and it’s pure serenity.

Why it works: Wellness isn’t a trend—it’s a lifestyle. A luxurious bathroom sets the tone for the day and adds resale value.

4. Multi-Use Guest & Flex Rooms

Design smarter spaces for evolving needs.

Trend Insight: Whether it’s a guest suite that doubles as a gym, or a home office with a Murphy bed, multifunctional rooms are a must in today’s homes. Custom cabinetry and built-ins help keep the room beautiful and practical.

Why it works: These rooms adapt with you—perfect for remote work, entertaining guests, or multigenerational living.

5. Statement Ceilings & Architectural Details

Look up—your ceiling deserves more attention.

Trend Insight: Beams, tray ceilings, coffered designs, and bold wall treatments like slatted wood or limewash finishes are adding richness and character to rooms. These elements add layers of depth and draw the eye upward.

Why it works: It’s the little details that make a home feel custom, elevated, and timeless.

6. Seamless Home Tech Integration

Smart, subtle, and streamlined.

Trend Insight: Built-in speakers, smart lighting systems, motion sensors, and touchless faucets are in high demand. Clients want tech that works quietly in the background—no bulky wires or clunky devices.

Why it works: Modern homeowners want convenience without compromising aesthetics. First State Building & Design helps integrate it all beautifully.

7. Energy-Efficient Upgrades

Remodeling meets sustainability.

Trend Insight: From high-performance windows and upgraded insulation to energy-efficient HVAC systems, eco-conscious design is gaining ground. Induction cooktops, sustainable materials, and tax-incentivized upgrades make it easier than ever to remodel responsibly.

Why it works: Save money, reduce your footprint, and future-proof your home with smart investments.

8. Indoor-Outdoor Flow

Blur the boundaries between inside and out.

Trend Insight: Sliding glass walls, accordion-style doors, and continuous flooring are redefining how homeowners connect with their outdoor space. Covered patios and outdoor kitchens are treated as natural extensions of the interior.

Why it works: It enhances lifestyle and adds functional square footage—perfect for entertaining or unwinding.

9. Custom Built-Ins

Make every space intentional.

Trend Insight: Built-in desks, media centers, banquettes, and window seating are getting a modern update with sleek lines, integrated lighting, and tailored storage. It’s organization, style, and craftsmanship combined.

Why it works: Custom built-ins make your home feel thoughtfully designed—adding value and utility without adding clutter.
