2025 Interior Design Trends To Plan For

The world of interior design in 2025 is always evolving, blending sustainability, technology, and bold aesthetics. Sustainable Design Build is always amazed by the vision and aesthetics of homeowners here in Denver, who always seem to be ahead of the curve when it comes to interior design trends for their latest home addition project or brand new custom home construction. As 2025 starts to get rolling, here are some interior design trends that you can plan for with your latest home improvement project.

These trends are shaping how homeowners approach décor, with a strong influence on the real estate market. Here are the key takeaways:

1. Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Materials

• Natural materials like bamboo, reclaimed wood, and cork are gaining popularity for their eco-conscious appeal.
• Energy-efficient designs and smart home systems are in demand to reduce carbon footprints.
• Real Estate Impact: Homes with sustainable features command 5-10% higher market value.

Sustainable Design Build has always supported the goal for a sustainable living space and encourages any homeowner seeking options that promote a more green solution. Many of the Sustainable and Eco-Friendly materials are more non-descript than many would think. For example, our interior design team always suggests energy-efficient windows when it comes to whole home remodeling and custom home building. Many of the older homes in Denver come with very dated and inefficient windows which leak conditioned air causing electricity usage to increase to compensate. The right window choice can be sustainable and aesthetically impressive for any custom home project.

Beyond that, natural materials like bamboo and other reclaimed options have come a long way in terms of appeal and design. Many design selections Sustainable Design Build has seen homeowners choose are often sustainable materials like bamboo or or faux recycled surfaces. With the right interior design team, any home can choose both aesthetic and eco-friendly missions.

2. Biophilic Design: Bringing Nature Indoors

• Incorporating plant-filled spaces, natural light, and living walls promotes well-being.
• Low-maintenance plants (e.g., snake plants, succulents) add greenery without hassle.
• Real Estate Impact: Homes with biophilic elements attract more buyers and increase desirability.

3. Bold and Rich Color Palettes

• Moving away from neutrals, deep colors like emerald green, mustard yellow, terracotta, and royal blue create cozy, inviting atmospheres.

4. Tech-Integrated Smart Homes

• AI-powered thermostats, smart lighting, and other future forward options are becoming standard.
• Smart home systems increase energy efficiency and convenience.
• Real Estate Impact: Tech-savvy homes sell up to 30% faster.

The home of the future is being designed today, or some would say. Sustainable Design Build loves to see the innovation of technology in its client’s home builds. Smart home technology can easily be looked over in the fast pace design phases and construction. Our interior design team can make sure that a home is designed and prepared for the final touches of modern solutions. Like integrating low voltage wiring and hooking up smart appliances as part of the final selection packages. Smart lighting and thermostats are becoming more commonplace but still offer a future convenience that transfers well into home value and ease of use.

5. Multi-Functional & Flexible Spaces

• Remote work has increased the demand for adaptable spaces.
• Modular furniture, fold-away desks, and hidden storage maximize usability.
• Stained Wood enhances built-in shelves, kitchen islands, and cabinets for a polished, durable finish.

Over the last few years, working from home and a more entertaining home area has become desirable. While the requirement of staying home has changed, some of the at-home conveniences or functions are still wanted by many homeowners. Building flex spaces where a room can facilitate multiple functions or purposes remain a highly desirable feature in home addition and custom home construction. Building out a library-office-study-guest room or so on has never been easier. Even if the room isnt designated to flex other purposes, Sustainable Design Build is seeing homeowners looking for little flourishes of function from their everyday spaces. Like hidden storages behind bookcases, or hideaway seating in window wells. Really the options are endless and with the right interior designer at your disposal, its never been easier to build.

6. Vintage and Retro Revival

• Mid-century modern furniture and retro décor are making a comeback.
• Blending old and new adds character while maintaining a contemporary feel.
• Real Estate Impact: Homes with vintage charm and modern updates stand out in a competitive market.

Maybe it is a callback to the 20s of yesteryear but there has been many aesthetic choices in terms of finishes, hardware, paint, and general interior design focus for vintage or neo-retro style. This type of look really nails down the tiniest details to bring out the deep and luxurious feels of the style. Sustainable Design Build personally sees this a lot in master suites, specifically the master bathroom. There are colors of green gold or bronze with immaculate hard surfaces to reflect the lighting from unique fixtures. It all comes together in a revived style that will likely be the trend for many years to come.
