The process of transforming a new house into an inviting home all comes down to home design. Selecting the right colours, textures and finishing touches allows you to express your personal style and make a new space your own.

 

The weather in Alberta may be cold, but in 2025 we’re seeing warmer and more natural-looking styles in home design gain popularity. Whether you’re looking to freshen up the appearance of a room in your current house or would like some ideas for building your dream home, here are 5 exciting new home design trends to explore in 2025.

 

Here’s What’s New for 2025.

1.   Warm Shades

Warm shades that evoke the look of the natural world are in vogue in 2025. We’re seeing a trend towards a colour palette of muddy purples, earthy reds, rich browns & easygoing greens. These cozy colors are soothing and tend to make homes feel more welcoming. They’re also timeless, so you won’t need to worry about them going out of style in a few years.

 

2.   Vintage is In

What’s old is new again! Just like how the Vintage Chic style has become popular in the fashion industry, incorporating vintage pieces into modern home designs is the hot new trend. Even furniture stores like IKEA are getting in on the trend and are bringing back some of their classic designs. Now is the perfect time to refurbish an old, but beloved piece of furniture and make it a focal point in your home.

3.   Curves and Soft Lines

Curves, arches and soft lines feel more organic than straight lines and incorporating them into your home’s design will help to create a warm and relaxing space. Arched doorways and rounded countertops or shelving can be used to create a soft and natural look in your home. You can also get in on the trend by adding circular rugs and furniture with curved edges to your living spaces.

 

4.   Ambient Light

When a home is full of soft lighting coming from multiple directions, as opposed to from a singular light source, it makes the rooms feel warmer and more comfortable. The new trend in stylish, cordless lamps makes it easier than ever to add ambient lighting to any room you need. You can place them on desks, bookshelves, kitchen countertops or anywhere else you’d like to feel more welcoming.

5.   Scandinavian Style Wood

Scandinavian style wood is characterized by light blonde or white colors, and integrating this natural material into your house is the newest trend in home design. Bring warmth back to your home with white oak wood cabinets, floors, mantles, beams or furniture. These soft coloured woods will give your home a relaxed feel and pair well with earthy and warm wall or accent colours.
