2025 Home Design Trends
As we step into 2025, it’s time to explore the exciting trends that are set to define the world of interior design. At Lemondrop Home, we’ve drawn inspiration from leading design influences like Studio McGee to bring you a curated guide to what’s in store for home decor this year. Whether you’re planning a major home makeover or simply refreshing your spaces, these trends will inspire and elevate your design.
Warm Minimalism
The minimalism trend continues, but it’s evolving with a softer, warmer edge. Think natural textures, muted tones, and inviting materials that balance simplicity with comfort. Instead of stark whites and cold metals, expect to see warm beiges, creamy ivories, and touches of earth terracotta.
Key Elements to Embrace
Furniture with clean lines but in softer, rounded shapes.
Neutral palettes layered with warm woods and organic materials like jute or linen.
Accessories like woven baskets, ceramic vases, and soft-textured throws.
In Kansas City and Overland Park, homes with open floor plans and expansive natural light are ideal for showcasing this trend. Pair warm minimalism with oak flooring or exposed wood beams for an inviting and cohesive look. Add a touch of personality with handcrafted decor items sourced from local shops, creating a bespoke feel.
Earthy Greens and Muted Blues
While neutral tones dominate, colors inspired by nature will bring life and depth to interiors. Rich, earthy greens and soft, muted blues will be the statement shades for 2025. These colors create a sense of calm and connection to the outdoors, making them perfect for accent walls, cabinetry, or upholstery.
Pro Tip: Pair these colors with warm wood tones and brass finishes to create harmonious and timeless look.
For homes in Leawood and Prairie Village, consider incorporating these hues in entryways or living rooms for a welcoming ambiance. A deep green accent wall in the dining room can create a stunning focal point, while muted blues in the bedroom can enhance relaxation. For smaller spaces, adding green through potted plants or botanical artwork brings a natural touch without overwhelming the area.
Statement Ceilings
2025 is the year to look up! Ceilings are becoming a focal point in design, with bold colors, patterned wallpaper, or intricate wood paneling adding unexpected charm. Painted ceilings in jewel tones or subtle, textured patterns will make spaces feel unique and custom.
Ideas to Try:
Add a coffered ceiling painted in a contrasting color.
Use peel-and-stick wallpaper to create an eye-catching ceiling feature.
In Kansas City’s historic neighborhoods, statement ceilings can enhance traditional architecture by adding a modern twist without losing the home’s character. For newer builds in Overland Park, using geometric patterns or soft pastels on the ceiling can complement modern interiors.
Layered Textures
Creating a cozy and inviting home is all about layers. From rugs to throws to wall art, layering various textures brings depth and character to space. This trend is heavily inspired by the layered aesthetics seen in Magnolia Home’s designs.
Where to Start:
Mix velvet and linen fabrics for your pillows.
Add a vintage-style Loloi rug from your favorite boutique shop.
Incorporate natural materials like leather, rattan, and wool.
In Overland Park, layering textures can be especially impactful in family rooms and bedrooms. A cozy mix of soft throws and textured cushions creates a space perfect for unwinding. Prairie Village’s older homes can also benefit from textured wall treatments, such as lime wash or shiplap, to enhance their timeless appeal.
Curated Maximalism
While minimalism reigns, 2025 will also see the rise of curated maximalism-a focus on thoughtful collecting rather than clutter. This trend involves showcasing meaningful objects, art pieces, and layered decor that tell a story.
How to Achieve This Look:
Use bookshelves or wall niches to display curated collections.
Focus on quality over quantity with fewer but bolder statement pieces.
Mix and match patterns in textiles, such as throw pillows, and curtains.
In Prairie Village, built-in shelving units can be customized to showcase personal treasures and create a striking design feature. Pair with colorful ceramics or curated vintage finds for added personality. Kansas City’s art scene offers plenty of local pieces to bring individuality to your home.
Mixed Metals
Gone are the days of sticking to one metal finish. Mixing metals—such as brushed nickel with matte black or polished brass— adds dimension and a designer touch to spaces.
Design Tip: Stick to two to three finishes and distribute them evenly throughout the room to avoid overwhelming the space.
This trend works well in kitchens and in bathrooms in Leawood, where blending finishes can elevate cabinetry and fixtures to a high-end look. Try pairing polished brass lighting with matte black cabinet pulls for a balances and cohesive appearance.
Return of Vintage and Antique-Inspired Pieces
Vintage furniture and decor continues to gain popularity in 2025, offering sustainability and one-of-a-kind charm. Incorporating antique inspired elements, such as a French bistro chair or a reclaimed wood table, creates an eclectic look and timeless look.
