Home Trends for 2025: Approaches, Designs, and Decor

While some tastes and decorating decisions never seem to go out of style (mid-century modern design choices don’t seem like they’re going anywhere any time soon), others come and go as the years go by.

Even if you don’t envision your own sense of style changing with the arrival of the New Year, it’s fun to check out new ideas and see what other people are doing. To help, we’ll discuss some of our favorite new home trends for 2025 below.

Planet-Friendly Popularity

An increasing number of people are embracing eco-friendly lifestyles, and oftentimes manifesting through their home and yard design choices.

For example, many homeowners are foregoing lawns and plants with high water needs in favor of native plants, which naturally thrive in their area. Others are installing solar-powered lights around walkways and outdoor living spaces to reduce their electricity usage while still keeping these places well-lit and inviting.People are also incorporating eco-friendly practices inside their homes, as many are opting for recycled or upcycled furniture to help keep things out of landfills. Others are focusing on purchasing sustainable items, such as our fiberglass front doors, which feature CFC-Free "green" polyurethane BioFoam cores. Not only are the materials used in this door model eco-friendly, but the superior insulation these doors provide allow homeowners to reduce their electricity usage.

Front Door Décor

Purchasing a high-quality Knockety door is the easiest way to ensure your home’s entrance looks great, but there are also a number of other cool 2025 home trends we’re seeing implemented with all kinds of front doors.

Some have begun painting their doors bold, vibrant colors and pairing them with striking hardware choices. The pink-door-and-brass-hardware combo is an especially eye-catching trend. We’re also seeing a lot of people add live or artificial plant containers around their door, or in some cases, attach plant cuttings directly to the door.

These kinds of all-natural and seasonally appropriate (more on that subject to follow) additions are really transforming entranceways and making homes look more appealing.

In Vogue Colors

Color preferences are always one of the most striking décor trends, and each year seems to be particularly associated with a handful of colors (remember the obsession everyone had with Aegean Teal back in 2021?). 2025 is sure to be no different, and we’re actually pretty excited about some of the colors that are poised for popularity this year.

Eggplant Purple is one of our favorites, and we’re seeing lots of Chartreuse being used as an accent color. Interestingly, both Dusty Red and Dusty Blue seem to have earned a lot of fans this year, and they provide options at opposite ends of the warm-cool color spectrum.

No matter which 2025 colors you find most appealing, Knockety doors come in a variety of finishes to suit all home color palettes.

Smart Home Synergy

While smart home features may have been limited to early adopters in previous years, they’ve become mainstream in 2025. From doorbells with video cameras to HVAC displays that’ll give you incredible control of your home’s climate, these types of high-tech home devices are providing new levels of convenience and comfort to homeowners everywhere.

Of all the new smart home devices we’ve seen lately, remote-controlled door locks are probably our favorite. They not only eliminate the need to make individual keys for everyone in your home (as well as your housekeeper or dog walker), but they have essentially eliminated the age-old locked-out-of-your-home problem.

And before you ask, yes — it’s generally easy to install remote-controlled locks on Knockety doors. Yale Home devices are amongst the most popular brand choices and this how-to video shows just how easy installation can be.

Trending Design Choices

Homeowners are making a variety of interesting design choices this year, but two deserve special attention.

First of all, people are incorporating seasonally appropriate decorations in their homes. This includes things like vases full of quaint wildflowers in the spring or individual conifer boughs strategically placed throughout the home in winter. Implementing these kinds of seasonal decorations means you’ll have to change them four times over the course of the year, so try to keep them simple to avoid saddling yourself with a lot of work.

Secondly, it’s become obvious that curves are definitely in this year, according to Studio McGee. From furniture to windows to doors, people are embracing romantic silhouettes. If that kind of style appeals to you, be sure to check out Knockety’s Solid 2 Panel Arch V Groove Fiberglass Door if you are interested in a fiberglass model or our Knotty Alder Solid Arch 2 Panel model if you’d prefer a wood door.
