Embracing 2025 Design Trends


Jewel Paint Tones in 2025 - Keen Building Co, Charlotte Home Builder & Interior Designer

Warm and Inviting Paint Colors This year one 2025 design trend in interior design is gravitating towards softer, versatile, and uplifting shades. Soft yellows are replacing whites to create sunny and calming spaces, while deep red hues like oxblood, terracotta, ochre, and clay pink add rich warmth. Vibrant olive is also gaining popularity for studies, often used for color-drenching. Check out what Better Homes and Garden has to report from all major paint suppliers and check out all the jewel tones.

 

Color Drenching is one of my favorites and we do it in almost every home: "Color drenching a room, whether it's a primary suite or an office, transforms it into more than just a space—it becomes a story, a character-filled canvas where walls speak in vibrant, immersive tones." - Michaela Bailey, KEEN ID

From bold patterns to subtle textures, wallpaper can transform a room and reflect your unique style.

"Older homes often lack the intentionality of design that aligns with how we live and work today. They may not fully consider the flow of daily life, with layouts that feel more segmented rather than fostering connection and efficiency. Thoughtful design elements like seamless transitions between spaces, areas dedicated to mental well-being, or multifunctional rooms are often absent. Additionally, older homes can sometimes feel limited in their ability to adapt to change—whether it's incorporating technology, supporting flexible lifestyles, or meeting the needs of growing families. They may tell a story of the past but can fall short in creating spaces that inspire creativity, collaboration, and balance in modern life." - Michaela Bailey, KEEN ID
