Decor Trends Disappearing Next Year

When were teal-colored rugs cool?

Here are the five home decor trends expected to fade in 2025, according to Elle Decor. Key trends on their way out include all-white kitchens, overuse of open shelving, and industrial-style interiors. Additionally, minimalistic and starkly modern styles are being replaced by cozier, layered designs that prioritize warmth and personality. Additional points:

• Maximalism shifts to designs emphasizing craftsmanship and storytelling.

• Bold, colorful, and authentic designs replace neutral tones.

• Home offices give way to creative spaces like art studios.

• Modern, functional kitchens are replacing rustic, nostalgic styles.

• Diverse color palettes are trending over monochromatic interiors.

Ralph’s Take

Outdated trends can make a home feel less appealing to buyers who are increasingly drawn to more natural materials, softer color palettes, and versatile layouts. Sellers may consider making small updates — like replacing stark decor elements with warmer accents — to ensure their home aligns with buyer preferences. Investing in these adjustments can enhance a home's marketability and potentially boost its value.
