17 Gorgeous, On-Sale Sofas For People Who Are Tired Of “Millennial Gray”

Built-In Locker Storage

How cute are these? Given the home will be used primarily for winter sports around the Lake Tahoe area, these built-in lockers are genius as well as fun and functional for a kids room. I love them for toys, ski and sporting equipment, even clothing and shoes since kids' closets are always a bit of a mess (at least in my home!).

Plaid Wallpaper

I'm totally digging this plaid wallpaper for a classic twist in a neutral hue. It can be used anywhere from kids rooms to guest rooms to pantries and laundry rooms. Try their Rigby Plaid Print Wallpaper or Woven Buffalo Check Wallpaper for any of the above! You can also shop the artwork, like the Studio McGee No Wake Zone print and antique snowshoes on Etsy.

Reading Nook

I'm a big fan of creating cozy tech-free zones in my home. Love this built-in reading nook with deep seating, built-in storage, and leather sconces. For a similar look, try Studio McGee's Hendrick Articulating Sconce or these budget-friendly Scandinavian sconces.

In-Bed Built-In Shelves

The thought of playing and nesting in these custom built-in bunk beds après-ski is pretty dreamy, but my budget had to settle on the IKEA SMÅSTAD Loft Bed for my kiddo. Still, the built-in shelves for books and all my daughter's tiny trinkets is a sweet idea, with wall sconce to boot!

Bed Dressing

Studio McGee bedroom designs are a masterclass in how to make a bed. They frequently use soft, muted tones like whites, creams, grays, and earthy neutrals, creating a calming, serene atmosphere. Pops of color are added through accents like pillows, rugs, or artwork. Here, they layer pillows, shams, throw pillows with a quilt, duvet, and a throw blanket for a flawless look. The hard part? Not wanting to jump in and stay all day long.

Vintage Style Rugs

Classic pieces, like vintage-style rugs, are paired with contemporary furniture or lighting to create a well-balanced look. The vintage style rug here really stands out and anchors all the loveliness above. Try the Studio McGee Benito Neutral Rug or the Threshold x Studio McGee Tufted Persian Style Mushroom Rug in Beige for a similar look.

Wood Paneled Bathroom Wall

Adding a pop of color and architectural detail, this wood paneling in an earthy green color levels up this bathroom decor. Love the small vintage painting too!

Floor-To-Ceiling Tile

Subway tile is always classic and looks stunning here from floor to ceiling in the guest bath. Is tile the new wallpaper? IDK.

A Tub Moment

From perfectly styled shelves to well-curated décor, every detail is carefully considered to create an inviting space. This picture-perfect moment is brought to you by a standalone bath, chandelier above, vintage rug below, and a room with view. Add a stool for a candle, flowers, wine(?), and you're in bath time business.

The Laundry Bench

Not only do they have a laundry/reading chair, but a bench with tufted cushion to store all your one-day-worn clothes. Or just sit and ponder the day's capsule. Lovely!

Nightstand Decor

Shea's pillow styling is perfectly complemented by two perfectly curated nightstands, each with a thoughtful selection of books, candle, fresh flowers, and a personal memento.

Brass Faucets

Their room's often prioritize organic materials, like wooden furniture, stone accents, and greenery, to bring warmth and a sense of nature indoors. In this room, the brass faucets add a touch of sophistication, elevating the neutral decor with a modern edge. What room is your favorite?

Outdated Design Trends For 2025

Goodbye: Overly Industrial Aesthetic

"One design trend we would love to see disappear in 2025 is the overly industrial, exposed-pipe aesthetic," says Taylor Hahn, cofounder of LA-based House of Rolison. "While it's had its moment, it often feels cold and impersonal, especially in residential spaces."

Hello: Warm, Organic Elements

Instead, cozier spaces that combine texture, warmer colors and organic materials are in. "I believe people are craving more warmth, comfort, and organic design elements that connect them to nature," adds Taylor.

Goodbye: Trend Shopping

There's a shift toward more thoughtful and intentional interiors rather than stocking up on everything you see trending on TikTok. The 2025 design trends look to emphasize sustainability, comfort, and timeless elegance. "Another design trend we are not fond of is over commercialization and trend shopping for your home, specific to furniture," says Amanda Leigh, cofounder of House of Rolison.

Hello: Investment Pieces

"Although there is nothing wrong with shopping for dupes of trendy designer furniture, we would rather see people invest in pieces they truly are passionate about and will love for years to come," adds Amanda. She suggests investing in long-lasting pieces that you curate through travel, moments in life, or "simply falling in love with a piece online."

Sustainability is also a key focus, with an emphasis on eco-friendly materials like reclaimed wood, recycled glass, and organic fabrics. Mix vintage and antique pieces with contemporary furniture for a more personal and timeless look. Top the look with bold, statement pieces, such as sculptural lighting or handmade furniture, over mass-produced items for a stronger sense of individuality. Invest in pieces that you love, have a back story, and make your home uniquely yours.

Goodbye: Smart Home Technology

Smart home systems manage your heat, AV, and lighting automatically based on pre-set programs, but they can be more complicated than convenient. "I believe it’s getting too complex to navigate, upkeep and spend even more time with technology in the home, which should want us want to simplify, disintegrate and make our homes the warm place where AI has no place," says Natália Severdia, founder of Interior Studio Natália and an interior designer based in Truckee, California.

Hello: Biophilic Design

Biophilic design incorporates natural elements like plants, water features, and natural light to promote a deeper connection to nature, and create a calm and healthy living environment. Overall, modern home decor trends are embracing individuality, sustainability, and a connection to the natural world.

Goodbye: Dark Maximalism

“One home décor trend that could be left behind as we head into 2025 is "dark maximalism," a style that leans heavily into dark colors and rich textures to create moody atmospheres," says Johanna Constantinou, interior trends expert at Tapi Carpets & Floors. "While this trend offers drama and depth when achieved correctly, it can easily overwhelm a space if not carefully curated." Without the right balance between richness and cohesion, Johanna says, "the abundance of dark tones and excessive ornamentation can make rooms feel cluttered and heavy, rather than cozy and inviting."

Hello: Softer Palettes

Styles like Scandinavian minimalism or eclectic designs that mix boldness with light, airy tones are excellent alternatives, adds Johanna. "These trends emphasize contrast, cultural influences, and personal expression, while avoiding the potential of a space feeling too crowded or dark. By embracing softer palettes, curved furniture, and sustainable materials, homeowners can still enjoy expressive, cosy spaces — just with a touch more lightness and harmony.”

Goodbye: Kitschy Kitchens

Kitschy kitchens was a 2024 trend that was set to take off, but as with anything too kitschy, it got old fast. "Burn out and informational overload need to be balanced out with homes that feel therapeutic, calm and simple, acting as places to recharge and regain peace and tranquility. We need to let the eye and mind rest and not be overly stimulated," Natália says.

Hello: Tranquil Spaces

Earthenware, plants, terrazzo are all trends we're seeing in kitchens. Some designers were still on the fence about open shelving, but it's something that if you have the space and design with intention (choosing quality items that you love and eliminating clutter) they are still a popular trend among our favorite designers.

In the end, it all comes down to creating spaces that bring you joy and reflect your unique self. Whether you're someone home in a way that feels authentic to you. Incorporating meaningful mementos alongside timeless, durable furniture will keep your space not only fresh and stylish but also enduringly relevant. The focus 2025 is on blending quality with personal expression, ensuring your home remains a sanctuary for years to come.
